COUNCIL WILL BE
ASKEDFOR MONEY
Directors of Chamber Of Com
merce Will Introduce Resolu-
ton in Cause of Good Roads.

n resolution will be introduced at
the regular meeting of the Council, to
be held Tomorrow night asking that
body to appropriate e. sum OF money,
equal 10 the amount raised by public
subscription, for the purpose of i'm
proving all of the roads leading into
this city. This action was determine cd
upon at meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday noon.
While 1t is true that the money ap-
propriated by the Council, II there be
any. is TO be applied to a, roads with
out favorinE any particular one, it is
likewise true that il will be recon-
mended that the first instSlment of the
fund be used to complete the road from
Richmond to Old Point as work Is now
progressing on that road, and. un less
the money is secured. this work. with
the organized road force. will have 10
cease
Tho resolution will go to the law
making body Of the city with the in
dorsement not only of the Chamber OF
Commerce, but the Business Mems
Club. the Richmond Automobile ~iub
and similar organizations. 1t seems
practically certain that the action of
the Council will be favorable. in View
of the combined support which the
be favorable it will mean that the city
OF Richmond Will appropriate $4,000 for
road building. as $4,000 has already
been raised In the city and another
$1,000 will be raised within a very
short time.
Until the last session Of the Legis-
lature such action as that now pro-
posed could not have been taken by
the Council. But at that session OF
the Legislature bill was passed per-
hitting municipalities TO appropriate
money for the purpose OF road i'm
provement for distance within ten
miles OF the corporate limits OF the
city. therefore there IS nothing TO
hinder.
With work now progressing on that
part of the Richmond Louisa Cord ons
Vile highway between Ground Squir-
rel and Chickahominy. and with the
determination on the part OF Super
visors Saunders and Oliver to unite

their efforts SO as TO improve all of
that portion of the highway within
Hanover county. prospects for the
early completion of the road from
Gordonsville to the coast, arc exceed
ingly bright. The further fact that
modern bridge will be built to
succeed the old dilapidated wooden af-
fair now spanning the South Anna at
Ground Squirrel. has also brought
glaGneas 10 the hearts of the good
roads advocates.
Every effort Will now be made to
push all of the work to completion.
Enthusiasm is high and hopes are
higher The proper spirit is being
manifested. and even the men in the
various gangs now at work have
caught the fever. Virginia will soon
have her quota of good roads. Solici-
tors will be put on <he streets to-mor-
row. asking the aid of those who have
not already subscribed to the cause.
Now that the most important and
the worst link in the chain is to be
rebuiit-that between Ground Squirrel
and Chickah ominy-little fear is felt
but that the other portions will soon
be completed. AS a matter of fact
the road between Richmond and Old
Point is now in first-class condition.
So good is this road that trip from
Richmond to the seashore resort can
be made in four hours or an average
rate of about twenty miles an hour.
1t looks good for good roads, say
the men who know, and they Will
spare neither time nor effort to keep
the ball a-rolling now that 1t has such
q good start.

ment method Of deep blowing. This

for cultivatine came, the boy found
that all the horses on the place we're

capacity 1t was hard for the father
to spare a team for so much as day
although he was in sympathy with tie
boys ambition. The boy however
decided that his acre must he cuItiva'

The resignation Of Secretary Of
War j. M Dickinson was a surprise
to the public but not to those W ho
we're in his confidence. MIR, Dickin-
sons relations with the administration
have been entirely cordial and
harmonious. He resigned because OF
business demands upon him in his
home state Tennessee. He entered
the cabinet, as subsequent events
proved, at a considerable sacrifice,
reIinquishing salary as an attorney
for railway compony twice that OF
his federal Office, and since he has
been with the TAFT administration he
has had the misfortune to lose g
large part Of his fortune, which he

Those who know the facts arc
assured that there is not the slightes
political significance in the step he has
taken.

From a Letter to Capt,
BurkItt.

For the first time in many years
the Democrat party in the House is
standing squarely together on all
propositions. All Of the Democrats
seem to realize that it is necessary
Tor some OF us to make a few con-
cessions to each other in order that
we may present an undivided front
to the enemy. The trouble with
Democracy in the past has been that
we have been divided on a great
many questions and this has given
comfort to our enemies, for when the
friends Of good Government, equal
opportunities and no special privileges
divide, the special interests reap the
benefit Of the division, because nom
action is what the special interests

The first Congressional Directory
for the Sixty-second Congress pre-.
sents its usual interesting disclosures
as to the personal Of the membership
of the two Houses. Examination Of
the biographical sketches Of members
shows the notable fact that average
age of members Of both houses is
younger than usual, and that this
lowering of the average age has
come largely through the Democratic
gain made at the last election. The
Oldest Senator continues to be Isaac
Stephenson, Of Wisconsin, who is
lust four months older than Senator
Shelby M. COLON of Illinois. The
younqest is Luke Lea, of Tennessee,
who was thirty-two April II, and
who is with one exception the only
Senator under forty years Of age.
The next youngest is Senator Nathan
Philemon Bryan, of Florida, who is
seven years older than Mr., Lea.
