MOTHERS CLUBS
RECEIVES REPORT
President Submits Annual State
ment-Playgrounds Prosperous.
Will Elect Officers in May.

Mrs. William Gemmeli, president of
the Richmond Federation of Mothers
Clubs submitted her annual report to
the federation. which met In Ruffner
school Monday afternoon. Other
statements were also read by the
playground superintendents, all indi-
eating an encouraging growth FOR the
year.
As suggested by the president. the
constitution and bylaws of the order
were so amended as to move the an
nual election OF officers from Novem-
Der to MAY, this being desired so that
the officers who map out the fall
eampaixn---one OF the most impor-
tant, a. the schools are then in SEES
sion--may be the ones to carry it
out.
Perhaps more important than any
other work Of the federation is its
supervision or Fairgrounds. which
nave been organized in various parts
Of the city, and which when they
closed few weeks ago were attend
ed by thousands of children.
From the standpoints of general
health and sanitation. these play
grounds are regarded AS indispen-
sable by the citizens at large. and
that Mrs Gemmell fully realizes the
value OF this phase of the fedora
tons work Is indicated by the fol-
loving statement from her report.

The Virginia Railway and Power
Company offered to build viadact

Ter was made more than year ago in
connection with a request ON the part
OF the company for blanket fran
subcommittee which considered 1t at
several meetings but never made any
defanite report. As a result when the
old council died the proposition died
with 1t and has not since been re-
