that real estate should be valued off,

stability or fuctuation in values. The

Statements.

Thirty-eight candidates for city clerk
and council at the recent municipal
election spent a total or S175.92, &C
cording TO the Statements of their
election expenses filed with City Clerk
Bescher. This makes an average of
s4.63 for each candidate who had any
expenditures. Six men report no
money spent in the race for Office.
Money spent by the four candidates
for mayor lacks only s45 of equalling
that spent by all the other office seek

came cheaper at S2975.
Sehl Spent Only $3.50.
Sehi's expenses were lowest, being
$3.50. Had each of the men seeking

Action Against L., III. &

PREPARES PETITION
FOR FINAL DECISION
Attorney Bond to Take Gas
Dispute Before Com
mission.

To place the city on record as TAX
ing some definite action on the ques-
ton of the deposit rule, council last
night, passed an ordinance on the rec
ommendation of City Attorney Bond,
making it illegal for the Light, Heat
and Power company to demand a cash
deposit or guarantee as a condition to
furnishing gas to consumers.
Explaining the reason for introduc-
Ing the ordinance Bond said he believ-
ed the city had the power to pass
such an ordinance, but that was a
question which the courts would have
to settle. The measure, he said, was in
the interests of the people.
Bond said he was preparing petit
ton to bring the dispute between the
Light, Heat and Power company and
the city before the utilities commits
sion, but believed the city should take
some action to show it's attitude to-
ward the deposit rule before the case
went to the commission. Such an ordi-
dance would Indicate clearly the atti-
tude of the city and would give
ground on which to work before the
commission.
Vote is Unanimous.
Rules We're suspended, and the ordi-
nance passed by the unanimous vote
of all cOuncilmen present Councilman
Won Pein was absent.
The provisions of the ordinance are
that it shall be illegal for any com
pany operating in the city for the dis
tribution of natural or artificial gas,
or any officer or employe, thereof, to
demand money deposit or guarantee
as condition to the furnishing of
fuel. The only exception to this is in
the case of transients, Sojourning in
the city for a brief time, and persons
who are not bonafide residents of Rich
mond. It becomes effective Dec. II.
For each violation of the terms of
the ordinance a forfeit of SO is pro-
vided.
The measure was introduced by
Councilman Waidele --~-7''7fsvs- 70 =
Table Pole Measure.
After hearing statements from Per-
ry Freeman, attorney for the Home
Telephone company, relative to the
ordinance providing for the removal
Of poles on Main street from Twenty
second to the corporation line, and be-
ing advised by City Attorney Bond that
there was no necessity for the passage
of such a measure and that it could
not be enforced unless a necessity eX-
isted council tabled the measure in
definitely.
For the street railway company, Mr.,
Freeman said, additional poles had
been set because of the removal of the
tracks to the center of the street. All
the old poles, he said, would be taken
down when the change had been COM
plete.
The necessity for removing the
poles and wires to which Bond and
Freemn referred was in case of wires
and poles hindering the work of fire
departments and endangering the
lives of the firemen.

Jefferson Township Trustee
Explains Part in School
Land Deal.
TRUSTEES TO A MAN
FIGHT APPOINTMENT
Pass Resolution Asking the
Commissioners to Name
New Health Officer.

Another skirmish in the feud be-
tween County Health Commissioner J.
E. King and the township trustees OF
Wayne county took place today when
DR.. c. |. Stotelmyer of HagerstoWn
trustee of jefferson township acting
on behalf of all the trustees, fired
volley of charges point blank at Dr.
King.
These charges are contained in a
statement prepared by DR.. Stotclmyer
and indorsed. he says, by all his fell
low officials. In this statement DR..
King is referred to as irregular" in
competent" and "erratic."
The charges preferred against DR..
King by the trustees are in reply to
the published statement of DR. King
that the township officials were oppos-
ing his reappointment as secretary of
the county board of health because he
had been too vigorous and drastic in
the performance of his official duties.
Admits Animosity.
DR.. StOtelmyer admitted that the
township trustees at their November
board meeting unanimously adopted a
resolution of protest against the re-
tention of DR.. King as county health
commissioner and said this resolution
would be presented to the board OF
county commissioners.
DR. King had no further statement
to make today in his controversy with
Dr. Stotlemyer and his associates
other than to say he did not believe
the charges made in the statement
prepared by the Jefferson township
trustee DR. Stotlemyer's statement
incidentally, appeared to amuse the
health officer, for he read 1t with a
smile II have the bear by the tail

desk were a number of letters from

against Dr. King made the assertion
