BROAD TIRE
QUESTION
Letter From Mr.. Frederick ".
Coleman.
He Says Supervisors are Vested With
Power to Decide.
Fredericksburg. Va. Sept. Goth.

Fredericksburg. Va, Sept. Goth.
To The Free Lance.
The law referred to by State High
way Commissioner Wilson in his letter
as published in the Saturdays issue of
The Free Lance, to the effect that the
Board of Supervisors of Spotsylvania
county could not pass any resolution
fixing the width of tires to be used on
vehicles until after that question shall
have been submitted to the qualified
voters of the county at a general
or special election and a majority of
said voters shall have voted in favor of
the proposed law fixing the width of
tires, with reference to Acts 1910, p.
339. Ii is very clear that the Board of
Supervisors has acted strictly accord
ing to law. and this the readers will
observe when informed that by Acts
1910, p. 1851, The Board of Supervis-
ors of any county which has not now a
special road law may, by recorded
vote, adopt the special road law of any
other county of this State, or any part
or parts of the special road law of any
other county or counties in this State,

(Acts 1910, p. $50 the Board Of Super
visors of SpOtsylvania county, not hav-
ing a special road law for the protec-
ton of her public roads. recently con-
sidered the adoption of the Caroline
county broad tire regulation, which re-
suited in a tie vote, and under the law
in such cases j. A. billiard, commission
er in chancery, designated by the court
to decide all questions in case the Board
Of Supervisors should tie thereon, must
necessarily say whether or not Spot
sylvania county shall adopt the Caro-
line county special broad tire law.
If the board should refuse to adopt
any special law on the subject and
recommend to the court that an cleo
ton should be first held to enable the
people to pass on the NATTER it appears
that this could be done and further that
it would be better than the board acting
for them.

CONSIDERED WOODEN
MILLS MATTER

The committee on behalf of the Bus
mess Mems Association and citizens
met in the Council Chamber Tuesday
night to consider what steps could be
taken on the wooden mill question.
There were present Col. f. ID. Cole,
chairman; Messrs. II. G.. Chesley. j.
F. Gouldman, Jr., David Hirsh, 5. w.
Somervile, S. G. Wallace, c. w.
Jones. II. Warden, II. +. Cricmond, A.
p. Rowe, p. V. D. Conway and Judge
Alvin T. Embrey.
Col. Cole called the meeting to order
and stated the object. Mr.. }. f. Could
man, Jr., was elected secretary.
The proposition from Messrs. Mel
vile and Duval was read and in sub
stance it is to the effect that stock to
the amount of 500, 900 be subscribed
towards the Wooden Mill Company by
the citizens of Fredericksburg for the
rebuilding of the plant here and en-
larging the pants factory.
Col Cole stated that since that paper
had been prepared Messrs. Melville
and Duval would accept $50, goo stock
for the subscription.
Mr.. c. w. Jones made an extended
talk. in which he emphasized the great
importance of the enterprise to the
prosperity of Fredericksburg. He
stated that the future Of Fredericks-
burg depends upon manufacturing en-
terprises referred TO the number re-
recently lost by fire and said it was
necessary to obtain more if possible,
and certainly to retain what we have.
The matter was further discussed by
Messrs. Warden, Chesley. Conway,
Col. Cole and Judge Embrey. The dis
cussion brought out many inquiries
from members of the committee. 1t
developed from the discussion that the
wooden mill plant. whether in operation
or not, will have an annual rental for
water power of $500 per year to be
paid to the Fredericksburg Power Com
pany until the year 1916.
The discussions were all informal and
no definite action was taken further
than to adjourn until 1890 Wednesday
morning for conference with Messrs.
Melville and Duval.
A number of citizens occupied the
seats for spectators and were much IN
terested in the discussions.

AUTO AND WAGON COLLIDE
Fine Imposed, But Later Dismissed.

Mr.. Curtis Biscoe was fined in the
Police Court Tuesday morning for not
blowing the horn of his automobile at
a street crossing and running into and
breaking the wagon of Mr.. r. G..
Hildrup.
Afterwards it was found there was
no ordinance in regard to automobiles
under which the fine could be imposed
and the case was dismissed. Mr.. Bis
coe was driving his auto down Com
merce street, and turning into Main
collided with Mr.. Hildrup's wagon,
which was on the left-hand side com
ing up and should have been on the
right. N
The wagon was broken, but Mr.. Bis
coe paid the damage.
1t is probable at the next meeting of
the Council an ordinance will be pass
ed putting a special tax on automobiles,
governing speed, etc.
