Richmond, Va, Aug. 26.-I
The State department Of Health
today began the distribution Of
the new rules and regulations
for the protection Of the public
h I { n. These regulations,
which were authorized by the
last Assembly and approved by

in issuing these regulations
aims 20 give the greatest possi-

others refer to quarantine and

regulations, but il Is generally

We are delighted TO see that
the garbage cans are being
used by our citizens. Es-
pecially was this noti ce-
able during Court week,
when, instead of our streets be-
ing Uttered with papers and
other refuse. as usual, they |
were clean and attractive. We
desire, however, in this connec-
ton TO call attention to the fact
the cans are only 20 be used for
waste paper and not for general
garbage, nor should tin cans
and other heavy things be
thrown into them.
The League, through this col
umn. wishes to thank the May
or and Council for passing an
ordinance fully protecting its
property and subjecting any
one to fine who abuses these
cans.
On every hand we are hear
i ing expressions Of delight with
the Flower Show and the De-
termination TO plant more few
ers and send larger exhibits
next year.
The League wishes TO an
nounce that, because Of the fact
that there We're not as many

expected, il has determined 70
p sell the remaining plants that

COMMISSIONERS OF
 RAILROADS MEET

Washington, November 7.-Deciding to hold It's twenty-third annual convention on october 20, 1911, in this city, the Ma tionaI Association of Railway Commits sioners today elected the following off cers:
 R. Hudson Burr of Florida, president.
 Charles F. Staples of Minnesota. and 0. P. Gothlin of Ohio. vice presidents.
 William H. Connolly, acting secretary of the interstate commerce commission, secretary and William Fitzpatrick of Illi- nois assistant secretary.
 Many of the delegates opposed the adoption of the committee report on rail- road taxes and plans for ascertaining the fair value of railroad property. the orposition taking the ground that mar ket value was impracticable as basis of taxation of railroads generally. Com missioner Watson of Oklahoma suggest ed that while one road in Oklahoma vas bonded at S2oS 900 mile, there was not a single road in that state that cost over So.eo0 n1l'e.
 The convention refused to adopt the report as well as the reports of the committees on rates and rate making, and on car service and demurrage, mere- iv aereeing to receive and print the re- ports so as not to bind the individual delegates.
 A committee report was adopted urg- ing that the interstate commerce com mission as early as practicable prepare the rules and regulations for carrying irto effect the uniform classification of freisht, authorized by law, and to give to the commissions of the various states and all parties interested an opportunity to be heard before final adoption of the uniform classification.
