stall an additional section Of switch
board in order to accommodate the
many orders for new telephones in the

quarters at Lexington, and Mr.. L. c..
Terrill, electrician and cableman of the

one of the faithful employees of the East

more than ordinary ability in the hand
ling of that Company's affairs. and
stands high in the estimation of the
officials. He has been connected with
the company about eleven years.

that came before the body was a motion
to permit the Managers of the local
opera house to run a special set Of pic
lures on Sundays. On roll call The mo-
ton carried, Councilmen Sexton Lorisch
and Berry voting for it and Covington'
and Stone against. After looking into
the question Mayor Rice vetoed II in the
following official document;
Richmond, KY, Feb 1911.
A. B. Faris. City Clerk.
Dear Sir:-By authority vested in
me as Mayor OF Richmond, Ky. By
section 1903 Carols Statutes, | hereby
veto the resolution passed by the city
council at the regular monthly meeting
Feb. End, 1911 permitting Wines & Bsx-
ter to operate a Moving Picture Show
at the Opera House in this city on Sun
days as believe the exhibition Of these
pictures on Sunday would be a. detri-
ment 10 the morals of the community.
Samuel Rice, Mayor
1t can be passed over the Mayors veto
by Two thirds vote of the members,
but II is not known whether an attempt
will be made or not. Councilman Todd
was not present, but to representative
OF the Climax said he would have voted
No, which would have then put the
question up TO the Mayor for the decid-
ing vote.
All property owners who have been
notified 10 rebuild the pavemenis in
front Of their premises and s-veraI
others who were notified this week, must
get busy as Mayor Rice has set a given
time If the work is not started, then the |
city will take it up at the expense Of the |
property owner. Concrete pavement
was ordered from ''Joe's'' corner run
ming 10 the Federal building. The FL |
nance committee reported all bills |
against the city o. X. and the council |
passed them, which composed the rou-
tine business.
AN EXPLANATION.
Manager Baxter called at the Climax
Office yesterday, after being notified OF |
the veto, and said that from the general |
expression he was of the opinion that
the intentions of the opera house mana
gers were misunderstood He said that
Sunday opening was only intended for
three or four Biblical pictures, which
were too long to be run in connection
with the regular program ON week
nights and also because sacred pictures
such as THE Passion Play" Life OF
Christ" and Life of Herod" are never
'Sandwiched" in with vaudeville pro-
grams any place. These pictures, he
said are strictly Sunday pictures ana
are run in many of the churches thru
out the country. Another Sunday pic
ture which i ng used in many places
is the Red Cross reels showing how the
fight against tuberculosis is progress
ing.
