RICHMOND on TIE ROUTE,

One of these fine mornings the people OF
the great International Highway between
Quebec and Miami, Fla. Straight through
ing parties win visit the city en- route to the
South and their return.
During the session of the Highway Associa-
ton. held here in November the Quebec-to-
Maimi Highway Association was organized and
our enthusiastic motorists convinced them
that no better connecting link for the pro-
posed route could be found in this section
than direct road between Washington ana

which were several enthusiastic Automobiles
of this city, together with Mr. A. l.. Wesgard,
official pathfinder of the A. A. A and Mr. Jay
Lewis of the Firginian, left Richmond 10
survey the proposed route to Washington.
1t ia in every way desirable that Richmond
should be included in the cities through which
the highway will Citizens of the sec
ton to be traversed have guaranteed the con-
struction of a good road this road will traverse
the most direct route that could have been
found and the section between the Capital OF
the Nation and the Capital Of the Confederacy
is full of points of historic interest
Great advantage will accrue to Richmond
Already a city to which tourists delight to
come and through which many more are forced
to travel on the great trunk lines that thread
the Eastern States. when this highway is COM
pleted many more will visit our city and hav-
ing visited will depart to spread abroad its
good report Merely i. from advertising
standpoint this highway. straight through
Richmond from Washington and the North
will more than compensate for what financial
investment is demanded in its construction.

section belongs to Richmond. since its territory
Is contiguous and the opening of this line Will
result to the great advantage of the merchants
of our city
Ii is nut fair however. that the rights OF resi-
dents along the Seven Pines line should be
protected Many of these people have acquired
property upon this route because of the trans
portation advantages and rates they have en-
joyed. II would appear very unjust to deprive
them Of these privileges after they had situated
themselves by the side of the road because OF
the privileges they might enjoy. We think The
ordinance should be amended for their protec-
ton and could be so amended without injury
to the company seeking the privilege to operate
the line.

THE PLAIN ISSUE,


When the Aldermen meet tomorrow night
they will face a clear and square issue,
There can be 10 doubt that the property
holders. taxpayers and commercial interests
O. The city overwhelmingly desire the passage
of the ordinance in some shape that will re-
iieYe the present administrative situation
Never in the history OF the city have citizens
in ali walks of life spoken so generally and
SO emphatieay concerning matter OF moment

the Council and Board OF Aldermen realize
this and there will not be. there has not
been. any open opposition to the project.
The inesoapable issue then Is, viii the AL
dermen represent tue viii OF their constituents,
as the Council has done. or will they seek to
dodge, delay defeat the measure? This is
the fact these gentlemen must face and there
is no intention of bullying brow beating
In apprising them of the issue. Citizens the
commercial organizations ana the press are
well within their rights and observant of their
duty in urging their representatives to enact
ordinance program universally desired
The sole question TO be determined Is
whether 1t ID expedient to pass the original
ordinance creating four wards and an Admin
istrative Board. with the elimination of the
Fire. Police and Health Boards, the sub
stitute which comes from the Council differing
from the original only in the inclusion of these
three Boards

of the citizens OF Richmond desire that the

would BE- to include all the departments under
the Administrative Board. Only reasons Of
expedieney urged fer not attempting this
at once. That this result was In contemplation
as future step was indicated. After thor
onghly eanvassing the situation the Council
decided to amend the original proposition by
