ASHLAND TO PUT IN
CLUSTER LIGHTS SYSTEM

The Park Commission and Civic
Improvement club held joint meet
ing IN the Commercial club rooms
last Friday afternoon to talk over
the cluster light proposition. and IT
was the expression that this illunin-
alton feature was Just the thing, says
the Ashland Tidings.
These two organizations had the
benefit Ct j. A. GIlbertson's expert
euce along these lines, the park Of
flciaI submitting designs as to the
introduction Of the ystem in various
cities, with a comparison Of relative
merits Of high and few posts in the
way Of installation. Concrete posts
will be adopted as a factor from an
economical standpoint These will
have a granite finish and be rein
forced by half-inch pipe extending
through both horizontal and perpen-
dicular portions, serving not only to
strengthen the posts but also afford
ing conduits for electric wiring.
A sample cluster will be made and
installed in the park, embracing five
lights-four drops and one center.
The posts will be 10 feet in height
to hanging globe, and 16 inches from
this hanging device to top Of arm.
Posts will have a diameter Of 8
inches at base and inches at top OF
main column, with a foundation one
foot square. Distance Of spread at
top, three feet. Different sizes uf
globes may be introduced as deemed
necessary, the lights being tungstens
varying from so to 100 candle power,
four Of the former and one of the
latter on drop and center lights re-
spectively
These posts will be constructed
at home, and here Is where the ele-
ment OF economy comes in. Mr..
is sanguine Of results and
Is going right ahead with the work
OF installing this sample equipment,
and a petition to the city council to
have these lights universally install
ed throughout main portions Of the
,ity will be contingent upon the sue
less Of this enterprise. But what
aver the council does, the park com
mission and Civic improvement CLUB |
will go ahead and install certain
lumber Of the lights anyway.

PROPERTY OWNERS WANT
FOURTH ST. PAVED

Tne meeting OF the North Fourth
street and Washington boulevard
property owners, which was held at
the Commercial Club rooms last
evening, with L. L. Herrlck Is chair
man and Mr.. Fromme as secretary,
resulted In a unanimous expression
In favor OF bituminous macadam
street paving, with concrete side
walks and curbs. With City Engin-
eer Hobson as the priacipa- speaker
and advisor, various forms Of payIng
were discussed, from standard mac
adam TO bitullthic. His estimate
for standard macadam alone was 50
cents per square yard, and for sta"d-
ard macadam with 4 hard surface
top dressing (bitumiDous) approxim-
ately $50, CT, considering gutter
curb and sidewalk, about $3.50 per
running foot for the first and $40
for the second, figuring to the middle
OF the street. Bitullthic pavement
for the same roadway was estimated
to cost $500 per running foot. All
OF the above estimates were based on
a 36-foot roadway, 80 feet Of which
would be paving and feet gutter,
with cement curbs, strip Of park
ing and feet Of cement sidewalk
As representing the best combination
OF the three qualities-cheapness,
serviceability and appearance-the
macadam was unanim-
ously selected and the petitions pro-
viding for this hard surface macadam
were turned over to Mr. Hobson,
with instructions to deliver to the
city council at their next meeting 10
be held next Thursday evening. The |
almost unanimous expression of all !
he property owners on these streets |
n favor OF the bituminous macadam |
md cement sidewalks, as shown by
he very strong petitions turned in
asst night makes the outlook for a
,ood substantial pavement on these
treets within the near future very
Encouraging.

ed. sent pretty Louise owen Beattie
into eternity on Midlothian turnpike
last Tuesday night while she was mo-
toring alone with her husband. Henry

as principal in the crime was injured
in collision at Harrison and Main
streets November 18th last when Clay
street car on which he was conductor
was broad sided by a Main street car.
In the mix-up, Paul Beattie sustained
painful hurts about the back and side
and at first II was thought TWO OF MS
ribs had been broken. He spent some
, days at Virginia Hospstal. and when. he
recovered was fully reimbursed by the
traction company for his injuries as
well a 81 In currency ana gold watch
which he said he lost in the accident.
The time piece he said. was given him
by his father, who died some years ago.
Persons recalling the accident
thought that Reatt!e may have sustain
ed injuries ON his head that perhaps
were partly responsible for the queer
manner In which he behaved after the
cnroner's hearing last Friday afternoon
when he threw a fiji and for time be-
haved like raving maniac. II is a
fact. however, that he was not injured
about the head in the street ear crash.
RECORDS OF the traction company
show that Beattie was transferred TO
South Richmond when he reported for
duty after ieaving the hospital and
was disc harged on February last.
