HOLD CLEAN Up
DAY NEXT MONTH
SECRETARY WEBER HOPES TO
SECURE ENDORSEMENT OF
BOARD SOON.

"Cleanlng mp" day in Richmond,
which is being agitated by Gustavus
A. Weber, secretary of the Society
for the Betterment of Housing and
Living Conditions. will probably be
set for some time in May or as soon
after receiving the endorsement of
the administration board as possible.
Mr.. Weber. while waiting for action
by the board. is engaged In interest
ing local societies and organizations
in the plan, and will call meeting in
the near future to effect an organi-
zation and plan for the work.
Within the last few days Mr.. Weber
has made a thorough inspection OF
Richmond. and while he reports that
the work of the street cleaning de-
partment has been as well done as in
any other city there remains much
to be accomplished. especially along
lines that do not fall within the pro-
vince of the department or Of the
health officials. Yards, vacant lots
and alleys are found strewn with
trash, cans and Uttered with paper,
garbage and decayed matter.
The purpose of cleaning up" day
is TO remove this matter and at the
same time to impress upon the peo-
pie the value of cleanliness, and the
means of Kidding the city Of dirt. The
plan has worked admirably in other
cities, and Mr.. Weber and those who
are backing him hope for similar good
results in Richmond.

PROTEST AGAINST
CHANGE IN LINE
GISTER PARK REPRESENTA-
TINTGS APPEAR BEFORE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

Committees from the Ginter Park
council and from the citizens protest.
ed yesterday morning before the
Henrico county board of supervisors
against the proposal Of the Virginia
Railway and Power company to take
up It's tracks on Laburnum avenue and
divert its traffic TO Lakeside to a new
line to be built from the end OF Broad
street to Bryan Park, the a. ?. Hill
monument and on to Lakeside. The
company proposes to build a double
track to the State Fair grounds, and
to continue from there to the HIN
monument and to Lakeside, charging
an extra fare from Bryan Park to
Lakeside.
Captain A. r. Guigon represented
the railway company, and Henry Fair
fax, president of the Virginia Fair as
ISOLATION, represented that association,
which Is heartily in favor OF the pro-
ject.
Captain Guigon said that the new
line would give easy access to the
Fair grounds, and that, with 1t estab-
lished, the company intended to put in
a fifteen-minute service. He added
that there were not a dozen people
living on Laburnum avenue whom the
present line benefits. He pointed out
that the double fare from the city to
Lakeside would not be an added bur-
den on the people, since the double
fare on the present line is still in eX-
istenCe under the old franchise.
b. w. Wilson, chairman of the
transportation committee. and c. b.
Garnett, attorney for the council, re-
presented the Ginter Park council. and
the Ginter Park Citizens association
was represented by Major f. T. SUIT
ton, J. W. williams. L. l., Rufin, Dr.
+. W. Stiff and c. r. Garnett. They
protested against the double fare, say
Ing that it would retard the growth OF
that section and setting forth that the
distance from Bryan Park to Lake
side Is only I 1t miles. This was
replied to by the statement that the
railway company, by the same rea-
sons, might be forced to charge only
single fare If it continued to ex-
tend It's lines from here to Washing
ton.
A committee was appointed from
the board of supervisors to confer
with q. committee from the Virginia
Railway and Power company over the
matter.

WONDERFUL GROWTH
IN CURRENT YEAR
MORE BUILDINGS ERECTED THIS
YEAR THAN DURING ANY
SIMILAR PERIOD.

Inspector Buffers report for the
month of March shows a wonderful
increase In building over the cor
responding month of last year.
Last year was much greater than
the year before, and the fact that the
present month exceeds the report OF
last March by s211,270, is an indica'
ton, as stated by Mr.. Butler, that
there is no hesitation in the progress
of the city.
There is a much larger number OF
dwellings shown in the report this
year than last, the total figuring for
the month, ninety-one.
The total cost of work authorized
during March amounts to s615.236;
for the three months--January, Feb
ruary and March the amount of work
costs. $1,522,314.
During my tncumbency," said In
spector Butler, both new work and
repairs have gone ahead remarkably
we'll. If the growth of the city con-
tiuues at the same ratio, by this time
next year we win hardly know the
city"
Mr.. Butler has for the fourth time
refused TO issue permit for the re-
pairing of the building at the north
west corner of Ninth and Broad
streets.
81 do not think the building can be
repaired" said Mr.. Butler land be-
lieve. as I did when I first condemned
1t, that there IS no remedy but to tear
it down"
The owners have been reported to
the police Justice, who gave them five
days to do whatever the building in
spector indicated. This was a month
ago. Nothing has been done vet.
TT nothing Is done by next Mon
day" said the Inspector last night,
I shall carry the case into the Police
court again"
