LIKELY TO BE CHOSEN HEAP
FRO TEN OF ADMINIsTRA-
TIVE BOARD.

Not a member Of the administra-
tive board last night had anything
of public note to say.
The board will meet on Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock. in the City
hall, third floor, for permanent or
ganization. At that time the nomi-
nations recently made by the board
will be confirmed. and It is likely that
the confirmations will be unani-
nous
While neither Mr.. Beck or Mr.. Nc
Carthy voted for Mr.. Butler for
building inspector, IL the rules of the
caucus prevail. This rule will also
for his election. This rule will also
prevail in the eleclLun of Mr.. Dun
ford as secretary of the board. In
this nomination Mr.. Hirschberx did
not vote for Mr.. Dunford. Neither
did Mr.. Beck, but 1t is pretty certain
that both of them will vote to sus-
tain the majority in the caucus.
Mr.. Whittet will be named presi-
man pro tenn.
In this event. when Mr.. Whittet
cannot be present at any regular
meeting Mr.. Beck may preside.
On the following Monday night the
common council will meet In regular
session. On that night II Is likely
that Mr.. Peters will have his COM
mittees ready TO name. From pres
ent Information there will be few
changes Most of the committees as
at present composed consists OF sever
members. There are two exceptions,
the street and finance committed
consist each of eight members. i've
from each ward.
So far as the chalrmanships are
concerned, It is probable that Mr.
Pollock will continue as chairman OF
the street committee; Mr.. Grundy as
chairman of the finance: Mr.. Cp1lauf
of ordinances: Mr.. Atkinson. of &C
counts and claims; Mr.. Rogers. OF
river. harbor and docks.
The other committees are eiirnI-
mated by consolidation, and In the
mix-up II is hard TO tell who will take
places on the several committees.

preached for the beginning of the
taikfest. and then he came fr"pl I'M
der cover sufficiently to open the fes-
.lvitiss and to intIs.iuce the speak
ers. After brief talk Mr.. CARING
ton introduced Mayor George Ain
slie. who made a hit by saying that
while he wanted to see Richmond
grow in size and population he pre-
ferred to see 1t increase IN beauty,
efficiency of government and value as
a place OF residence. TT may be
heresy." said Mayor Ainslie. but !
| would rather see Richmond the best
place in the United States TO live IN
than to see It have 100000 people
within Its limits"
The other 6 eakers were w. T.

OF commerce: Horace f. Smith. of the
Richmond Advertisers club: Thomas

tail Merchants association. C. ..
Coleman, OF the Travellers Protec-
tive association: George NJ Read,
of the United Commercial Travellers.
and w T. Dabney, of the chamber OF
commerce.
Mr.. Reed emphasized the import
ance of increasing the population Of
Richmond. declaring that he wanted
70 sec the city number 100000 peo-
pie by 1920, and told his hearers
what thew could do for Richmond
by standing up for their home city.
Horace +. Smith made one of the
most telling speeches of the evening.
emphasizing his points in an effec-
tive and breezy manner. Command
attention. inspire interest and com
pei trade" he laid down as the three
cardinal principles OF ADVERTISING.
and OF the travelling salesman who
sold goods "You are the men who
put rich in Richmond" he declal cd.
and urged them to greater efforts.
The keynote Of Mr.. Bryan's talk
was catch hold" He was brief.
but what he said caught hold and
those present applauded vigorously.
Mr.. Lewis traced the relationship
between tho salesman and the retailer
telling Row the orc could help the
other. When tho salesran i~cveasrs
his ssiea he increases the output OF
, the etctor1es and the tobbinS nouses
thus increasing the number OF men
employed. The more men there a-~
employed the moro thert are to spend
he said. and the retailers reaps a
profit.

travelling salesman IT one time held

Booster Bill Dabney closed the
after dinner talking by telling the
guests what the others had not toll
them. At first Thought this seemed
q difficult task, but MIR. Daoney niieu
the bill easily. He gave a brief out
line OF what Richmond is dong anu

those who represent Richmond on

pearances are that Richmond will be
