WOULD AMEND
CITY CHARTER

Agitation toward the proprosal of
a charter amendment affecting the
work on public Improvements by
contracts is becoming animated this
week by many local people who are
anxious to have the matter settled at
the coming special election.
The fact that several blocks of
asphalt paving is to be done in the
city this summer makes the need of
a more elastic provision on contract
work more apparent, it is contended.
Asphalt necessitates a great deal of
extensive equipment which makes it
almost pTohibitive, if performed by
the com missioner of highways. With
out regard to his ability to handle
the work. the necessary machinery
will increase the cost so much that
it will probably exceed any reason
able issue of bonds.
An asphalt contractor who carries
this machinery with him could cut
under any estimate made by the com
missioners by several thousand dol
lars, 1t is believed.
Commissioner Rankin is leading
the agitation in the council rooms
for broader construction of the
contract provision, but is opposed by
Mayor T. NJ. Todd and City Attorney
Bucklin. The provision was a pet
measure of Mr.. Bucklin's at the time
the charter was written, and he OBJ
jects to its emasculation at this
time.
Messrs. Holmburg, Vedder and
Vorbeck have not expressed them
selves as yet, but it is believed that
The proposition will be brought up
end threshed out within short time,
50 that, If the council is favora BILE.
the amendment may be proposed at
the coming election.

Virpinia's Heroes.

On Saturday last the nation paid
fitting tributes to the two-hundred
and sixty brave officers and men who
lost their lives in the service OF our
country, by the terrible disaster that
befell the Battleship Maine in Havan-
ma harbor and which precipitated the
Spanish war. While it may
not be generally known by Virginians,
still from the complete list published
Yesterday Of all who lost their lives
az a result of this disaster, it appears
that Virginia ranks third among the
twenty odd states, in the number OF
men lost. The largest representatl-
on was from New York; New Jersey
came next, with Virginia and Massa-
chusetts third; both of these states
having lost the same number of men.

One Girls Experience.


Last summer about 300 young ladl-
es were sent on the same tour our
girls will! take, the tour being the re-
suit of numerous newspaper contests
in various parts of the country and
conducted by the same company that
has charge of this contest.
One of the young ladies who won
in one of these contests was Miss
Clytemestra Krall, of Schafferstown,
Pa, and this is the way she express
ed herself after learning that she was
one of the winners:
"To be a winner Of one of these
glorious tours through Europe has
been nv strong desire for the past
six weeks, and now that the great de-
sire has been gratified, / want to tell
to my friends Individually and collect
ivelly how much ! appreciate their
magnanimity.
"The English vocabulary cannot SUI
flee to express my gratitude, my
thanks and my exalted appreciation
of the liberalty shown me by all my
friends at home, throughout the coun-
try and from distant points and their
assistance has rendered me supremely
happy.
"None but those who have really en-
gagged in this contest can comprehend
the hopes and fears connected with
it and my happiness was marred only
bv the thought that all Of my fellow
contestants were not equally success
full. 1t was. indeed u joyful surprise
to learn in last nights paper the
names of contestants who, through
the generosity of the paper on when
Won have conducted the contest, will
be enabled to enjoy a delightfuf trip
to the seashore across the briny deep
and wander through foreign countries
81 desire to thank the publisher for
placing such an opportunity within
my grasp and the contest manager
for his fairness, geniality and impair
tiality."
Three young ladies in this contest
will feel just that way within three
weeks from now. Wonder when
three? Pick them if you can.
