MUST Be RESC|MDEO
All Contracts Let by the Board
OF Works to Be Re-
called Now.
NEW LAW REQUIRES THIS

All resolutions passed. advertise
ments inserted and contracts awarded
by the board of public works since
March S. which provide for public i'm
provements must be rescinded. After
an investigation OF the new law gov
erning public improvements, city at
torney Study has advised the board
all this work must be done over or il
will not be legal. The new law had an
emergency clause, which made it eff
fective when signed by the governor.
Six important improvements that
have been undertaken will be effec-
tive. These are South West Second
street, Soutl West Sixth street. South
A street, South Fourteenth street.
South d street and the alley north of
Main between Ninth and Tenth
streets. Besides these there is num-
Der of minor improvements. The
change will postpone much of the gen
eral improvement until later in the
season. Everything goes back to the
original resolution and all advertising
will have to be run over again. This
means an additional expense to the
city.
All improvements which were pro-
v1ded for previous to March 8, but for
which the contracts have not been let
will undergo the same conditions.

LEAGUE STANDING.

Richmond went down the home
stretch at rapid clip at Hamilton
Saturday night and scored five times
but lost the game to Z. This was
due TO the fact that the locals were
completely outclassed in the first two
periods. At the end OF the second
period the score stood to 2 in favor
Of Hamilton and the Hamilton boys
were fortunate enough to score twice
in the third.
Sipe the new center for Richmond
was in the game and was verv effec-
tive. His strong point is that he feeds
the ball to the rushers properly. The
Richmond players also state that he
il familiar with the defensive work
OF center. He will be in the game
tonight when New Castle plays here
and no doubt many will avail themsel-
YES OF the opportunity to see him in
action.
After the first period. Houghton was
taken from the game. He was very
ineffective and probably played as
poor a game as any during his long
career. Bulla, who replaced him play
cd another good game and figured
largely in Richmond's rally. Lancast-

Indians Confession.
"My father is with the Indians" he
said. He was with them in the
house last night and he left the house
with them after the battle.
1T was Charles Coker. the Semi
mole, and who Swallowed the officers
as they approached our house last ev-
ening. Coker crossed their path be-
fore they reached the house and as
the officers followed he turned and

fully 500 yards distant when he made
fine targets of the bodies of the Off
