Notice of Registration,

There being differences of OPP
inions regarding registrations and
being frequently asked as to the
law on the question, I have asked
for the opinion Of the County At
torneys in the matter and the
following is their reply to my
inquiry:
January %, 1908.
Hon. W. L. Smith,
Tax Collector, City.
Dear Sir:-In reply to your in
quiry as to whether or not per-
sons who had registered to vote in
the last bond election would be
entitled to vote in the coming
bond election:
Under the law as amended and
now stands, it shall be lawful for
any citizen Of the State who is a
qualified voter when he pays his
taxes to the tax collector to have
his name registered in the voters
book by the tax collector and such
registration shall cntitle such
persons to vote in all elections
that may occur in the year next
following the date of such registra-
tor.
Under this law it would be
necessary for per on to register
now to entitle thu m t. vote in the
next election exc pit those who
registered with you after your
books were opened for the collec--
ton Of taxes All persons who reg
istered with you prior to the time
shat you commenced TO collect

Trust Companies Take Pre-
cautions Because of Poor
Fire Protection.
DISCRIMINATION is SHOWN.
ONLY THOSE PEOPLE OWNING
PROPERTIES CLOSE TO FIRE
PROTECTION CAN SECURE MON
EY ON THEIR POSSESSIONS.

Local banking institutions are re-
fusing To make loans on properties
in certain localities in West Rich
m0nd The principal reason for this
action is the fire risk in that section
of the city.
The Dickinson Trust company
makes loans on properties located in
that section of the city between Main
street and Richmond avenue. but no
where else west of the river. There
are other reasons for this action be
sides the fire risk. but that is the prin-
cjpal reason.
That part of West Richmond be
tween Main street and Richmond av-
enue is reached comparatively easy
by the various fire companies because
of its proximity 10 the Main street
and me Doran bridges.
That section OF West Richmond
known as Fairview is probably grow
ing faster than any other part OF the
city but at the same time people who
own lots there are greatly handicap
ped because the financial institutions
refuse TO advance loans TO them on
their properties for the construction
of homes and places of business be
cause there is no fire company west
Of the river.

Because of the Peculiar Kind

Claimed.
NO BUILDING TO BE FIN

Peculiar CoIored Brick Are Be-

II was stated yesterday afternoon
that it would become necessary for the
brick masons to work on the Young
Mems Christian Association building
today. The masOns are engaged in
laying the vitrifed brick wall on the
North A street side. and because of the
peculiar kind of vitri fed brick used

BY a glance at the small portion of
this wall which has been erected. the
visitor behind the high board fence
may gain some idea Of what the fin
ished exterior appearance Of the build
ing will be. No other building in the
city is finished in exactly the same
kind of brick The Colonial building
is the nearest approach The brick

The stone work about the base of
the structure has been completed al

Thought That Fight Will Be
Waged on This in Next
City Election.
WATER COMPANY INVOLVED
COMPANY'S FRANCHISE is NEAR
ING A CLOSE AND MANY ARE IN
FAVOR OF CITY GOING INTO
WATER BUSINESS.

It is generally believed that the
board of public works will refuse TO
seriously consider the proposition of
the Richmond Water Works company
in which that public service corpora
tiOn agrees to build an additional
water main into the city from the
water works pumping station. pro
Niding that the city grants the com
nanH new franchis, Should the
board act fayorabIy | ON this propo,
sition. it is practically an assured fact
that tn" city council would turn il
down. Should the board decide to
grant tn" company new franchise
this action would have to be con
f1rmed by the council.
The water works question promises
to be the all important question in
the next municipal campaign One
of the republican candidates for that
Office, DR.. W. w. Zimmerman has for
some time been on record as fayOring
The municipal ownership of the water
works and should he be elected to of
fee il is almost an assured fact that
his first efforts would be TO put his
pet scheme into effect. The franchise
that the water works company now
operates under expires in 1912. two
years after the next municipal cleo
tion
Friends of Or. Zimmerman state
that in The event he was elected to
office he would exert all his influence
in preventing the water works com
pany from securing a new franchise.
This would be a comparatively easy
task for him to accomplish. as he
would have the authority to appoint
the members Of the board Of public
works and all franchise contracts must
originate with the board Of public
works and then be referred to council
for approval or condemnation
Pretty Fight Promised
Municipal ownership has many op-
pOnents in this city and il is cerli
that these opponents would place a
candidate in the field TO combat DR.
Zimmerman and his pet plan Wheti.
er the democrats would espouSe the
cause Of anti-municipal ownership or
whether the other republican mayor
alicy candidates would take up the
fight for the wafer works company is
an Interesting question. One thing j.
certain-the Richmond Water Works
comps1v now realizes that il has just
started d fighr for its existence.

ROAD WILL BE BUILT.

Promoters Of the proposed interuT-
ban traction line between Decatur and
his city are expressing the opinion
it is certain the road will be built. The
proposed route is through a portion
Of the state that is not tTaversed by
traction lines. The G. r. x I. rail
road will be paralleled. but it is not be
Iieved It will offer serious competi-
tion. The numerous small towns
along the line will be the chief contrib
utoTs to the passenger service.
