COUNCIL ACTS TO
SAVE SHADE TREES:
Council Committee Appoint
ed to Arrange for Spray
ing the Trees.

The deadly plant louise. which is
now infesting the trees of Richmond
by millions, and bids fair to ruin many
of the best shade trees if not eradicat-
ed soon, was the main topic of dis
cussion at council last evening. Prof.
J. F. Thompson, of the Richmond
high school, who as city forester, ap-
peared before council and pleaded for
quick action by the city in spraying
the shade trees of the city, to kill the
vermin. The mayor appointed a com.
mittee Of three to take prompt action
by either employing an expert to
spray all the shade trees of the city, or
to buy sprayer and put some city Of
fetal in charge of the work. The cost
of spraying will be charged to affect
ed property owners.
Councilman Kaufman started the
discussion when he asked that all
trees be trimmed eight feet above the
sidewalk that citizens may walk be-
meath them without danger of losing
their headgear. Prof. Thompson who
was present, stated this could well be
done at this season, and launched in
to a description of the plant louise and
its effect on shade trees. He explain
ed the activities of the louise, as set
forth recently in one of his articles
appearing in the Palladium. He
stated that if all the trees were not
sprayed and the lice killed. the insects
on even few trees would be able to
reinfest the remaining trees in short
time. One insect reproduces about one
million with the short space of three
weeks.
Prof. Thompson stated Richmond
had been very fortunate in having
very few plant or tree pests. He stat
ed the louise now on the shade trees is
the worst Richmond has ever had to
combat.
The mayor appointed Councilmen
Bartel, Waidele and Burdsall to take
charge of the situation. A special ses-
sion of council will be held when this
committee is ready to make their re-
port to council. If a forester residing
on the west side cannot be induced to

MANY KICKS
ENTERED BY
THE COUNCIL
Demand for Street Improve
ment Was Loud and Vigor-
Gus at the Meeting Held
Last Evening.

Councilman Burdsall, of the Eighth
ward, led vigorous attack on the
board Of works last night at the coun-
Gil session when he declared that the
city officials had not done a thing dur
ing the present administration toward
improving public works in the eighth
ward. He stated the residents of his
ward were determined to have a part
of their taxes expended for the good
of their ward Burdsall stated the
streets were badly in need of repair,
Sheridan street in particular, being in
extremely poor condition.
Burdsall's protest was made because
a number of complaints he handed in
at the last meeting of council had not
been attended to. The mayor promis-
ed that as soon as teams could be Sc
cured work in Fairview would start
and the street repaired as good as the
city could afford to do. The street de-
partment is badly crippled for lack of
funds, all monies appropriated for it,
being expended now, except very
small sum.
Councilman Waidele jumped onto
the corporations. Two bad sidewalks,
one at West First and the river, and
the other at 81 North West Third
street were blamed on to the Light,
Heat and Power company. He also
asked what explanation the city could
make for the contractor hauling away
the old brick cutters on West Main
street which the property owners de-
sire. He was told the law gives the
citizen the right to all old brick used
for sidewalks, but gives the city the
right to a.. gutter and street paving
blocks or brick.
Councilman Evans, King, Thatcher
and Williams entered street COM
plants.
Council ordered the Japanese quinc-
es in the Glen park cut down and burn
ed. They are badly infected with the
San Jose scale and are dangerous to
the remainder of the trees, stated City
Forester Thompson.
Council tok under advisement pc
tition for improving a part of the Com
mons road which is in the city and
which road is to be improved under
the three mile road act.
Street Car Question.
Burdsall started council going in the
matter of street car service, by stat
ing that he did not think council
should back down and tamely restore
to the street car company it's franchise
if the company did not at once get
busy on repairs here. Council was evil

that If the company did not make
good showing in the line of repairs to
it's system before the expiration of it's
80 days of grace, it's franchise would
be goner."
Waidele stated that as the city was
putting the screws down tight on the
street car company, it would be we'll
to make the other pole companies in
the city paint their poles, and City
Attorney Gardner was instructed to
look up their franchises to see if the
, companies affected cannot be COM
PEELED to paint the poles as the street
car company has been required to do.
Council did not take action in the
| matter of slicing off a part of the
council chamber to be used for fire
mems sleeping quarters. 1t was
thought best to wait until next year,
when it is possible an extension over
the Jail will be built for the engineers
office and the firemen will be given
the present engineers office. Fred r.
Charles, city engineer, stated that
when a change was made the city en-
gineers office should be provided
with a fire proof vault in which to put
records of the city, which are almost
priceless, and which might be destroy
ed by fire.
Council went on record as being well
pleased with the appointment of Frank
Newman to the position of city fire
man to succeed II. Heinrich, recently
discharged. The mayor stated New
man would be given charge of the auto
fire truck, but all members of the de-
partment would be taught to operate
it.
An ordinance appropriating $1,000
from the general fund to the special
street improvement fund was passed.
The city owes this amount for some
bonds which fell due yesterday and
must be paid at once.
Miss Sarah HILL newly elected mem
Der of the school board, extended
council thanks for honoring all mem
bers of her sex in the city by appoint
ing her member of the school board.
She stated she would do the very best
she could in her new position.
Mayor Zimmerman appointed Coun-
Gilman Waidele on the contracts and
franchise committee to take H. H. En-
gelbert's place until the sick council
man is able to resume his duties.
Council was invited to a meeting of
the board of works to be held next
week at which time the water works
proposal contract will be up for the
final consideration of the board of
works and the city council.
Nine members of the city council
and several members of the city ad-
ministrative body will go to Hartford
City next week for the State Munich
pal Convention.
Council unanimously adopted the
memorial prepared for Wilbur Wright,
the deceased aviator Miss Esther Grit
fin White of the Palladium staff pre-
pared the memorial.

The spraying machine is operated by
a gasoline engine, capable of throwing

machine would be enough to spray all
the trees of the city.

SENATOR MASSEYS RECOR[

Senator Massey refused to record
his vote in favor Of abolishing the
commerce urt. This is a matter
of record and may he found on
page 12497 of the Congressional
Record. 1t is the commerce court
that is blocking the operation of
reduced freight rates in Nevada as
ordered after exhaustive inquiry
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. A house of representatives.
and senate passed the amendment
which would have meant the death
of this Ubiquitous body. but Presi-
dent Taft promptly placed his veto
on the measure. The bill was re.
turned to the house and passed
over the veto of the president but
when it went to the senate, the
necessary two-third vote was not
obtained because Senator Massey
and other stand-patters refused to
record their vote in favor of it's
adjustment.
The people of this state have
been fighting for years through
their state railroad commission for
relief from excessive freight rates,
and the battle for justice was ap-
parently won when a set of schem-
ers managed to place a further
obstruction in the pathway in the
shape of the commerce court, and
when it came to the point of re.
moving this barrier. where did
Senator Massey stand? With the
reactionaries, the aligned interests
the corporations, the schemers and
plotters to tbwart the will of the
people. That's were he stood.
Look on page 12497 Congressional
Record, August 81, 1912, and you
will find Senator Massey's vote re.
corded against the State of Nevads
and for the commerce court.
Voters who have the interest of
this state at heart. who desire fair
play and real representation,
should examine this record before
casting their ballots.
In his four addresses in Nevada
William Jennings Bryan made
earnest pleas that not only the
democratic presidential electors
be elected but that a democratic
United States senator and repre-
sentative be sent to Washington 10
back up Mr.. Wilson. Presidents
do not legislate; they pass upon
legislation. Congressman and

WILSON WILL WIN

Democratic National Committee
Fifth Avenue Building
New York.
September 80. 1912.
Editor Indeeedent.
My dear Sir: . ~
write to reassure you that the;
prospects of democratic triumph
we're never brighter. The morale
of the democratic army was never
better. A united democracy and
divided opposition renders success
doubly Ger tain. The present situa-
ton leaves little to be wished for.
The recent elections in Vermont
and Maine prove that the demo-
Gratis are voting under the unit
rule this year. They prove
more than that. They show sub
stantial increase in the democratic
vote. If we poll the full party
strength defeat is impossible.
Nothing could possibly defeat us
but over confidence. Security is
mans chiefest enemy in politics.
We must, therefore. take nothing
for granted. We must perfect and
maintain thorough organization.
The campaign must be vigorous,
must be unremitting till the
battles over. till the victory's won.
No single agency can contriH ute
more to democratic triumph than
the democratic press. No agency
can do more to see that every
democrat votes and votes the demo-
cratic ticket. We are relying upon
your constant and invaluable
assistance. Democracy expects
every democrat to do his duty this
year.
While victory is inevitable if all
democrats do their duty. still the
door of democracy stands wide
open this year. Above that door
is emblaznned the word welcome"
and that welcome is rendered to all
independent voters. The spirit of
our campaign is reflected in the
following resolution which was
UNANIMOUSLY adopted by the demo.
cratic national committee at
Chicago : n July 18th. last:
I'VE congratulate the country
and the democracy upon the ex.
ceptional prospects of democratic
success in November rext. We re-
joice that all democrats everywhere
are united and enthusiastic in sup
port of the platform and the
nominee of the party.
We earnestly invite all voters,
without reference TO previous
political faith or utilization who are
in sympathy with such platform
and nominee, to unite permanently
or cooperate temporarily with the
democratic party in this supreme
struggle for establishment of
jnstice and equal rights as against
favoritism and privilege.
Resolved, That we gratefully
acknowledge our profound ap-
probation Of the courageous, disin.
terested and patriotic course of
many republicans and Independents,
including a number of most dis.
tinguished leaders and editors, in
declaring their intention to support
the democratic ticket in the pend
ing presidential contest"
should be indebted to you IL
you would send me list of liberal
minded republicans friendly to
Gov. Wilson, and II you would

republicans forward a card to
myself or to Hon. Rudolph

and triumphant democracy, / am.
