c ALLS FOR BIDS
FOR CITY WHARF
James River Committee Approves
Plans Of City Engineer
Boiling.

Adopting the report of the subcoul-
mittee. the Committee on improvement
of James River, a meeting last night,
authorized that bids be advertised for,
according to plans and specifications
prepared by the City Engineer. for
constructing a public wharf and bulk
head along the water front from Gill
lies Creek to Nicholson Street. BIDS
will be received until 4 O'Clock on the
afternoon of July 5. The committee
will meet at o'clock in the afternoon
of that day and open the bids and sub
nit recommendations to the Council
that night.
The Council recently appropriated
$4,000 for constructing the wharf and
bulkhead. 1t is estimated that 1t will
cost $4,000 to complete the job. The
specifications call for the excavation
to a solid rock bottom to a depth of
sixteen feet below low tide.
The subcommittee report, as adopt
ed by the general committee, follows:
Your subcommittee, appointed for
the examination of the specifications
and plans for the proposed timber bulk
head to be constructed along James
River from Gillie's Creek TO Nicholson
Street. met aboard the city tug Gun
ming ham at 1870 o'clock on the after
noon of June IS, and after having ex.
amined the site OF the wharf and hac
plans and specifications explained By
Charles E, Boiling. City Engineer, re-
specially recommend that VIC adver
tise for bids for the construction o
the wharf as a lump sum; also to ash
for a bid per cubic yard for materia
dredged to a rock bottom and for a bic
for solid rock excavation to depth o.
sixteen feet below low tide, the com
mittee reserving the right to reject any
| and all proposals. In the event i
would exceed the amount appropriated

Judge Witt Rules That Only Per

for Speeding.

Officer Making Arrest Must
Identity Chauffeur Caught
Exceeding Limit.

BY a ruling of the court that as
she was not in the automobile at the
time, and therefore could not be held
responsible for the &C; of another.
Mrs. George L. Anderson who had
been fined in PoliceA5ourt on charge
of violating the speed ordinance In her
automobile some time ago, was ac-
quilted Yesterday in the Hastings
Court. The jury rendered the ver-
dict without leaving the box.
Mrs. Anderson's car was reporter
some time ago as having violated the
speed ordinance, and when the owner
of the car was ascertained. she was
arrested and hailed to Police Court
where Justice Crutchfeld imposed the
usual fine. But Mrs. Anderson was
not in the car at the time, and neither
did she have knowledge that 1t was
out. She appealed from the decision
of the lower court. and her appeal
was sustained.
The decision in the Hastings Court
raises an important point. Heretofore
owners of automobiles had been held
responsible for their cars. whether
they were in them or not Under the
ruling yesterday, 1t would seem that
the owner cannot be held response
BILE for the acts Of another even
though that other be the regularly
employed chauffeur. unless the owner
is in the car at the tine. And this
would seem TO mean that only the
person driving the car, provided, OF
course. the owner Is not with the ma
chine, may be arrested and fined.
Makes Conviction Difficult.
This will inevitably make convtc-
tons vastly more difficult. If the Off
Ger must swear to the Identity OF
the driver before conviction can
be secured, II is evident that the
greater number of speeders will go
free. especially those who practice
their skill at night. In the darkness,
with goggles. and with any other
disguise which the driver may elect
to use, and running at a speed which
exceeds that of the mounted police
or the motorcycle, it is evident that
the vast majority will escape
The police have not yet been able
to discover who was driving Mrs. An
derson's car. The chauffeur denies
that it was he.

pealed from fine in the Police Court

weeks and weeks he has bemoaned the
lack of base hitting, and has longed for
the day when he would come out of his
slump. He came out this afternoon,
making three singles. all of which were
clean, hard drives When hitting, Street
is without an equal among the catchers
in the American League.
Unglaub made a pretty play in the
fourth when he knocked down Craw-
ferd's liner one-handed and slid to touch
Sam as he neared the base. While this
was going on. Bush scored, as Unglaub
could not recover in time to make a
throw TO the plate.
Lelivelts hit In the fifth went straight
to Crawford on first bounce. He juggled
the ball for an instant and Street scored
from second.
