WORK COST MORE
THAN APPROPRIATION
Plan May BE Adopted However By Which Bulk May
be Constructed Now. WIG

Several Of the city fathers are under
the impression that relations between
appropriations for civic improvements
and the later estimated cost of those
improvements are sadly twisted and
awry.
Monday night. the committee on
Ground and Buildings, meeting To con-
sidere bids for the erection of $4,000
building on State fair grounds. found
that such a structure as they had
planned would cost about 3s5,0o0 or
$4,000 more than they had to spend
And on Tuesday night. the Committee
on James river Improvement at a
meeting held for the purpose OF con-
sidering the erection OF a bulk head,
wharf and wharf house. for which the
were prepared to spend $4,000 found
that II would cost $4,000.
The latter figures are according to
an estimate prepared and submitted to
the committee by City Engineer Boil
ling. who thinks the larger sum should
be spent and that in the end. 1t will
prove saving.
Mr.. Boiling suggests the construc-
ton of bulk head of considerable
size. This alone will cost $4,000 but
the city engineer maintains that the
size he suggests will be necessary
eventually, and that to build g. small
Ter bulkhead now and to make an add

CITY JARED WELL
/ IN CASES IN COURT
Many Suits During the Past Year
But Damage Recovered Not
Heavy.

IL the facts embodied in the an
nual report OF the city attorney may
be taken as an indication. the city
must possess some magic talisman
which protects It from the onslaughts
of those residents who would despoil
the funds In the municipal treasury
through the medium Of damage suits
According to Mr.. Pollard's state
mont, the total judgments received
against Richmond during the past
wear aggregated s4,1S2. This sum
In insiRnifcant in consideration of
the many street improvements. and
at her municipal operations of a
character which usually bring forth
veritable horde Of aggrieved resi-
dents asking pecuniary recompence
for damages, real OK affeEed.
The report shows that while the
city attorney has been rather fortu-
nate, he has yet been kept reason
abb ybusy. Thirty-nine suits were
filed against the municipal govern
ment during the year. In addition
to this. on January i. seventy-nine
suits and appeals, In which the city
was a party. were pending before
the courts. Forty-eight OF theee were
disposed Of, the city winning nine
appeals and seventeen suits and los
ing seven appeals and eighteen suits.
Several of the more important
cases are commented on at oonsid-
cradle length BY Mr.. Pollard in MS
report Among thes. Ia the case CT
the city against Wood. This. pracu-
cally a test case, was lost by the
city, Mr.. Wood and a number OF
associates establishing their right to
obtain damages for the flooding OF
their cellars from a city sewer.
Mr.. Pollard also goes over the de-
tails Of the reversal by the Supreme
Court Of a decision holding the city
immune from damages in case Of &C
cidents from encroachments in the
streets. The city attorney will appeal
to the next session of the General AS
sembly for an amendment OF the stat
ute. so as to give jurisdiction 10 police
justices TO force the immediate re-
movai of street distractions.

He SHOULD GET THE LIMIT
Man Pleads Guilty Of Driving An Animal 10
Death he Deserves No Mercy.

A young man in Jennings entered
a plea Of guilty to driving a horse to
death.
He hired the animal at a local
livery stable, and drove it all day
without care-Without water, with
out food.
The poor beast died within a few
minutes after reaching the stable.
Is there adequate punishment for
this man?
Poor, willing horse, game unto
DEATH
Brutal man, beast, dressed in the
flesh and garb of a human!
Mans inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands weep" but mans
inhumanity to dumb beasts-defense-
less, helpless-is a greater crime.
Man can defend himself against
man. The dumb beast can't.
Therefore the man who will strike
a dumb beast will strike a cripple
will strike anything that is defense
less.
Then such a man is a menace to
the community, to humanity. He is
a coward; his heart is a iendish one.
The dispatch chronicling the Jen-
nings episode is as follows:
Jennings, La, July "A hearing
was given Robert Falk yesterday in
Justice Hemstead's Court. The young
mar was charged with driving a horse
to death, and was sent to Lake
Charles to givs bond for his appear
ance in a higher court. Falk hired
a horse from the stable of Mr.. Mckay
a few days ago, drove it hard with
out care, and when he returned the
animal to the stable, it died before
attendants could get it into a stalls
Falk pleaded guilty. He is subject
to a fine of $500 and will also be COM
PEELED to pay for the horse.

Washington, D. G., July 4.-For

there will be a republican Chief
Justice appointed to the Supreme

The death of Chief Justice Fuller

There are now two vacancies in
the Supreme Court. President Taft
