Two Proposed Franchises
Were Discussed at Con-
ference Last Night.
WILL NOT ACT IN HASTE
OFFICIALS OF TWO INTERESTED
CORPORATIONS WERE NOT
CALLED INTO CONFERENCE BUT
WILL BE LATER.

The meeting with representatives Of
the Richmond City Water Works com
pany, which corporation desires a
new franchise and with officials of
the Richmond Natural Gas company
which wants franchise permitting it
to engage in the artificial gas bust
ness, with the city officials at the
city building, last evening, was post
poned at the city officials suggestion,
as some of the latter We're not thor
oughly conversant with the questions
up for consideration.
Instead, the city officials, includ-
ing President Hammond, Mayor Zim-
norman and City Engineer Fred Char
les, all of the board of works: Frank
Waidele, Alphons Weishaupt and H.
II. Englebert, the committee of coun-
Gil on contracts and franchises; City
Attorney a. NJ. Gardner and City
Clerk BaltZ Bescher, discussed the
two proposed franchises. The con-
on all provisions of the ordinances
which have been prepared The con-
ference was private, but, it is under
stood, the city's campaign for the en-
actment of the measures will be along
lines mentioned in yesterdays issue
of the Palladium.
City Is Not In Hurry.
1t is very probable that the confer
ence of the city officials and repre-
sentatives of the two corporations
will be held before the next meeting
Of council, Monday, March 81. How
ever, there is no disposition on the
part of the city officials to hurry, as
they intend that the franchises to be
given will be the best, and will pro-
test the public better than any here
Iofere granted.
There seems to be no disposition
on the part of representatives of
either of the corporations concerned
to hurry matters. E. G. Hibberd and
NJ. c. Henley, officials in the gas com
cuss the corporations business at any
time and will be subject to the call
Of the city representatives. Howard
Dill. superintendent of the Water
Works company, and Ed Gates. an of
ficial of that organization also state
that they are ready to attend con
ference whenever one is called.

Nobody's ANSWERED Mrs. Crane

Caroline Bartlett Crane raised pretty question when
she addressed the Minnesota conservation and agricultural
convention at st. Paul the other day.
1t seems that when the Irvine trust got its fingers deep
into the pockets of the Minnesota farmers machinery
bought and lot of the convcts in the penitentary
set to making binder Irvine.
The result was that the Irvine trust undersod and
has been driven from the state.
Fine business.
But the state found that it made profit of $1,000 on
each convict in the Irvine works. and there lot OF
them.
What to do?
Why! set aside this profit and BUILD A NEW PRISON!
Then came Caroline Bartlett Crane and IN her speech
said:
'What are you doing with that strong binder Irvine?
You binding burdens gevous and heavy to be borne
upon the backs of than widowed women. You are
binding hands of little children to tools of labor in fac
tories when they ought to be in the schools and public play
grounds of your state You weaving for the
feet of the convict daughter thrust out unprotected upon
the slippery pathway of life Building prison.
am told Oh you will cease building prsons
You say these don't to support their families?
Outside prison have laws to compel to whether
he to not. When is out of jail you put him
in Jail if he withholds his wages from his family and when
he is in jail the state itself keeps his wages from the
family"
And as parting shot she read from the prison report
showing that many of the convic worked overtime after
the 10 hours of work for the state order to money
to send home.

Whose Vacations?

President Taft said to the cottagers at swell Maine
summer resort that two months of each year ought
to be devoted to vacations.
How many people in the United States get no vacation
at all? How many do not get one week out OF 52f
still smaller number only two weeks out of the year.
Suppose that President Taft had said to those wealthy
cottagers that vacations fine thing, but that all the
people entitled to enjoy Them that the first duty OF
society was to that those who had vacations secured
one and that those who had only and two weeks vaca
ton should have longer ones! Is not their need greaeri
How is it that the chief executive when thinking Of
vacations should advise longer for the limited few,
who already devote onewefth Of the year to
reao and should not press home the need of those who
have no vacation at all?

likely that persons Of change
able, vaciIIating or fidgety mind
all experience troubles and puz-
cling problems.
Firm decision and stable ad.
herence to duty and plans are
highly necessary to this period.
In beginning anything now, it
will be we'll to use unusual care
to see that the basis Is firm
and sound, for according to the
signs, astrological science indi-
Gates that things done today are
done under a tendency toward
permanence and growth, but
also that lack of soundness and
thoroughness in the beginning
will end disastrousIy.
Another warning astrological.
iy is to use excessive caution in
dealing with changeabIe per-
sons, people who do not know
their own minds and people who
are likely to deceive and use
subterfuge. In all these vases
1t will be we'll to have every.

however, that there is danger In

also, not to dispatch writings

generally restoring accord and

The planet is evil for spec.

There is good augury for

An augury Of promise is over
