Ito The Corporatiea. Com
mission. ion f For I Right to- Putup
More Gates 20 ,seowsssa,s,:7.

The Valley Turnpike company wants
to put up more toll gates on the Val
ley pike, because, it alleges it is un.
able to collect tolls from local travel
near certain important towns because
people ride or drive out to the toll
gates and then return without passing
through. It has therefore made Pc
tition to the State Corporations Com
mission for permission TO put mp more
gates, the petition having been pre-
sented by Speaker r. 4. Byrd, coun-
sci for the Turnpike company. It sets
forth that the concern has found local
conditions such that it is unable to
collect tolls to any considerable ex
tent from local travel on certain Sec
tious of road. The portions referred
to are just south Of the towns of
Strasburg, Edinburg ani Woodstock
and just north Of the towns Of New
Market and Harrisonbarg.
It is impractioable, it is declared to
name the exact location where gates
should be pnt, because the company
cannot asq aire the land for the loca-
tion of gates in advance OF the per-
mission of the commission. It thinks
therefore, that the statement as to the
towns and the direction is sufficiently
definite to have the commission act
and order the gates, and that Ia.
ter the exact location could be report
ed and made sort of supplementary
order. The presumption il that they
would be put close to the towns.
Therefore, the company prays that
it be permitted to erect a toll gate
within half mile of each of the
towns named. The petition is signed
BY H. F. Bryd, president of the con.
Germ.
The commission has docketed the
proceedings and continued isgener-
ally. No date has been set for
hearing. Whsn the time COMES all
sorts of objections are expected.
The litigation will naturally be of.
the greatest interest OF the people Of,
the town whence tolls are desired. It

lature when this com m;ttea on roads
took firm stand against toll roads
anywhere.
In the maintenance of this position
it reported unfavorahly several bills
designed to permit Dew gates, notably
a bill favored by the Augusta county
delegation. regarding the roads in that
county. The bill was passed in spite
of considerable opposition.
Other local bills providing for the
of toll gates were also
enacted during the session, over the |
votes and protest Of the roads com.
nittee.
Those who opposed toll gates said
they were a relic OF dark ages, and |
had no place in modern state. On
the other hand, one of the advocates
Of the Augusta measure said that
people all over the state would find it.

MANAGEMENT OF
ALMSHOUSE TO BIZ
BITTER ORDERED
Committee OF Fiscal Court
will Propose Stringent
Regulations.
Institution Has Been Much
Talked Of.
NURSE TO AID THE PHYSICIAN.

Some reforms in the management
and treatment of inmates of the
county almshouse, which has been in
the limehght more or less for sew
eral months, may be made by the
new fiscal court. A complete new
set of rules, governing the keeping
of the almshouse and OF the inmates
as well as the medical attention by
the county physician. is contemplated
by the almshOuse committee. II is
the Intention OF the members to
make a clean sweep, and to Place
the poor farm upon a basis above
suspicion. and TO make 1t more mod
ern by improvements.
The committee has inspected the
almShouse. and has outlined roughly
the changes and improvements con-
templated. Before the regular Feb
ruary meeting the committee will
get together and viii frame up the
rules OF conduct at the atmshouse,
and present them to the fiscal court
for adoption. 1t is said that the
ru,es will be more stringent and will
put an end TO such conduct as has
leaked out frequently in the past.
One OF the recommendations of
the committee will be the employ
ment OF a nurse at the almshouse.
Several instances have occurred re-
Gently when the need Of a nurse at
the house was imperative. A trained
nurse would make the services OF
the county physician more valuable
as he would have an experienced aid
in the treatment of the patients
The committee found that room,
where inmates may be received and
examined before being placed with
the regular patients. is needed. 1t
IS intended to place a bathtub in the
room and require every applicant to
take a bath. and be examined thor
oughly before being placed in the
almsho1se.
The dining room and kitchen,
which is one large room. is not ade-
quate for the purpose. and the COM
mittee will recommend that an ad-
dition be erected The kitchen is
used as a dining room for the in
mates who are able TO go to the
table.
Doubtless other improvements
Will be suggested by the committee
In its report to the court next month.

.SpIYZER UPHELD
BY CIRCUIT COURT
THE REPUBLICAN MAGISTRATE
ELECT IN FIFTH DISTRICT
HOLDS SEAT.

Magistrate G. NJ. Splitter will re-
tain his seat in the fiscal court as
the magistrate from the Fifth dis
trict, unless the appellate court re-
verses the circuit court. This MORN
ing Circuit Judge William Reed dis
missed the petition of John Craig,
the Democratic nominee, who sought
to unseat Splitter, the Republican
nominee. Splitter was elected by a
decisive majority. Craig claimed
that at the Hoverkamp precinct one
of the election commissioners be-
came i'll, and the precinct election
officers moved the ballot boxes to
his home, where they were counted
and the tally sheet made. He also
alleged that an outsider was called
in to assist in counting the ballots.
Mr.. Spitzer is a prominent citizen
OF the Fifth district, and will make
the county a good magistrate to as
sist in the conduct of the business
Mr.. Craig is we'll known also as he
has been in politics before.

MASS MEETING OF
SUNDAY SCHOOLS
TO HEAR DIR. SMITH At GRACE
CHURCH SUNDAY AFTER
NOON.

The annual mass meeting of the
city Sunday School union will take
place in Grace church tomorrow
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. All the
schools of the city are to take part
in this meeting. and all parents of
children should be present. DR..
Smith, who has been speaking with
such wonderful force and power this
week TO the parents and teachers of
the city. will deliver his last popu-
lar address at this meeting. The fact
that busy school teachers. business
and professional men and women
and mothers, have been filling the
parish house of Grace church to
overflowing morning, noon and
night, for three lectures a day. evi-
dences the power of DIR. Smith as a
speaker and teacher. At the close
of this mass meeting will also be
held the election of officers for the
city union for the ensuing year.
A large Saturday morning crowd
greeted DR.. W. w. Smith, of New
York. at the Grace Episcopal parish
house. The city school teachers were
out in force and the Sunday schools
we're we'll represented. DIR. Smith
gave a splendid and practical lecture
this morning along the line of
Keeping Order and Lesson Prep
aration" There was more discussion
at the close than has been hereto
fore and questions we're asked.
