j Referring to statement published
yesterday in Richmond to tina effect
THAT he had authorized a formal an
announcement that he would be a candi-

must say that did not have in mind.
in the short conversation l had with
the reporter, to make any announce
ment of any kind.
There are obvious reasons why an
announcement of my candidacy for

time. 1 can only say in this connec-
ton what ! said to the reporter-that
II is and has been for some time gem
orally understood among my friends
that would be in the race for Cover

much as ! have said to any one and as
much as / care to say now"
Mr.. Stuart made a statement of this

Great Public Work.

Although being built by the city of
Richmond, it was argued that it would
afford drainage to those along the
route in the suburb of Riverview, thus
enhancing the value of property II,
that suburb, and proving a benefit
rather than q menace. AS for any
damage that might occur by reason of
blasting or other incidents of large
construction work, Mr.. Pollard held
that the injured property owners
would have recourse in court, and
could bring action for whatever actual
damage they sustained. but that
a great public enterprise should not
be held back because of possible flu
ture accidental damage, the probab
ity of which has not yet been shown.
The action of the court in refusing an
order at this time makes 1T possible
for the city to go on with the work
The contractor has already given bond
to save the city harmless by reason OF

terprise. a construction which 1t is

Injunction Refused.

Argument was held before Judge
Scott at the City Hall yesterday morn
ing, after which the Judge announced
orally that the Injunction prayed for
would be refused, but without pre-
JUDGE to the complainants to present
evidence of actual damage or to take
further proceedings when actual con-
struction work is under way.
City Attorney Pollard appeared for
the city. He argued that what was
in contemplation was great public
improvement-the greatest sewer the
city of Richmond has ever attempted
to build; that the main stem along Vir-
ginia Avenue including the tunnel
would cost approximately 100000.
while lateral branches, street services
and connections would bring the whole
cost OF the outlay proposed to abou,
$3.50, 900.
