Appoint Sub Committees, Collect
and Handle All Funds.
At a special meeting of thu Com
mercial club held last evening the
Fourth of July celebration made a
good getaway with the appointment
of Al G. Flournoy, chairman. H. S.
Gillespie, M. A. Murphy. Chas. G. o.
son, and A. E. Bickford as an execu-
tive committee to have power in the
appointment of subcommittee on
the event and the handling Of all
funds therefor.
Prompted by echoes Of a more or
less recent campaign in the city,
doubtless, the motion was made and
carried that full report of all COL
lections and expenditures for the
event be furnished the local press for
publication.
The meeting of the club was the
first to be held for some time, and
many matters of Importance were
taken up for consideration, not the
least being the matter of the Wolf
road and the proposed public market
for the benefit of our farmer friends
of which Virginia has many. A COM
mittee composed Of Messrs. R. G..
Pickering and Alfred STAFF was ap-
pointed to interview the council at
its next meeting, asking that ar
engagements be perfected If possible
to have completed market place on
the new site acquired by the city
from the Great Northern some weeks
ago and the erection thereon of a
potato warehouse, and other neces-
sary, buildings for the accommoda-
ton of the farmer who would come
into the city for the day or who
might desire to remain over night.
The matter of free mail delivery
ON the Northside was brought by
Chas. G. Olson, one Of the boosters
for that section Of the city, and upon
his motion the secretary was in
structed to write Congressman Miller
urging action on such extension OF
the local service. The secretary was
also instructed to communicate with
the city council asking that a reso-
luton by that body be passed for
transmission to the post-offlce de.
partment in behalf Of the project.
The proposed plating of the state
forty commonly referred to as the
School Farm and lying just west OF
the Northside addition brought out
motion that the secretary write
the state auditor asking that lots in
the proposed plat be put on sale al
Is per cent down and the balance il
forty years, and that in order tt
avoid the probable picking up of the
entire plat by spectators that no,
more than three lots be sold to an,
one person. This motion received
the unanimous endorsement of the
body.
The sanitary condition of the
Great Northern depot in this city
which is not connected with sewer
line, was brought up and upon mo.
tion referred to the local health de.
partment with recommendations thai
unless existing conditions be rene.
died shortly the matter be brought tc
the attention of the state health
board or the state railway and ware.
house commission.
The existing main sewer system
of the city, which has been a source
OF tr ouble since Virginia commenced
to outgrow it's metes and bounds at
the time Of it's installation, was dis
cussed and from information at hand
it was deduced that the only remedy
for the apparent defect would be the
installation of a pumping station and
an asceptic tank, it being stated the
city would be forced to do away with
the sewer line into Three Mile lake
through complaint of owners Of ad-
jacent property. The matter was d.
rected to be referred to the city
council.
The Homecrofting committee,
which has been exceedingly busy this
spring and has instilled enthusiasm
into local gardeners, made report
that the formulating of the prize list
to be offered by them had been re-
ferred to committee and would be in
readiness for publication soon.
The city has taken up the work
OF extension to connect with the pro-
posed Virginia-Wolf road, doing the
work inside the city limits on such
