FOR cOuNciLMEN IS ADOPTED
BY COMMITTEE.

Alderman John Mcpre Ii happy
man. for the committee on ordinances
last night recommended favorably his
ordinance prohibiting any councilman
or city employe TO accept any Invi-
tation to take any trip or pay any
visit or accept any invitation fi"u1
any concern or person Interested IN
securing a contract from the city for
work Of any character.
The inspiration for this ordnance

accepted an invitation from con-
struction company to visit Il number
Of cities al its expense. and see what
II could do In the way of things that
II wanted to do to the city OF Rich
mond.
Mr.. Moore is a member of that COM
mittee. but he would not accept the
Invitation Other members OF the conf
mittee did.
Whereupon, Mr. Moore, feeling that
snch a trip. tended to bias a mans
views. bethought himself OF the or
dinance And now the ordinance has
become A near-law.
The penalty is pretty severe, II fnes
a man anywhere from $50 to $500 for
each and every offense. Every day
meaning a separate offense.
This ordinance will come up for
passage at the next meeting OF coun-
eli and Alderman Moore said last
night he hoped II would become eff
fective before the next council comes

EXEMPTION FOR
M0T0RCYCL|STS
NO EXAMINATION NECESSARY
But COMMITTEE HANDS IT TO
AUToMOBILIsTs.

II the recommendation of the ordl-
nance committee of the city council pre-
walls at the meeting OF that body on
the NTH of next month, every owner
of an automobile and every chauffeur
who has charge OF a machine will have
to pass an examination. get license
and carry a badge around with him,
to show any inqu1riug person that he
Is duly authorized to operate an au-
tomobile
This. Was determined. upon. at The
meeting of the ordinance committee
Before the ordinance was adopted by
the committee several amendments
were adopted. The chauffeur of a ma
chine for the purpose of doing a gem
eral business must show his badge
upon all occasions. but the owner of
a machine for private use may. upon
the motion of MIR. Gunst seconded by
Mr.. Moore. carry his badge around with
him and keep 1t in his pocket or under
the seat or any place convenient TO
get If an emergency arises.
Mr., Nelson objected to the original
propositions, and 1t was through his
objection that the motion was made
and seconded by the other members
OF the committee.
Another amendment was made on
behalf of the motorcycle men. MIR.
G. II. Tompkins, representing local
club. said that man who RODE a motor
| cycle had to be an expert, otherwise
he would be corpse, for il required
much practice, and many miles OF
space for man to get into trim to
handle motorcycle. The idea of Mr..
Thompson was to have the section of
the ordinance requiring an examine
ton to be made eliminated SO far as
motorcycltsts were concerned. HIS ex-
PLANTATION was so clear that MIR. Pol
lock saw II. and he offered the resolu-
ton amending the ordinance to that
extent
This ordinance now goes to council
| for ratification
