of the Dayton bureau, yesterday
A report of what the delegation
from Richmond learned at the Dayton
bureau will be made before the Com
mercial club municipal committee as
soon as Pettis Reid, chairman, can
call meeting of the committee
DR.. Upson believes Richmond can
succeed in such venture and profit
by the work, although a municipal .re.
search bureau has never been tried
in so small city as Richmond The
smallest city now operating a munich
pal research bureau is Springfield
Mass, with population OF 10000.
Receives $4,000 Salary.
DR.. Upson receives salary of 81.
800 year, and employees five assist
ants. He is an expert from New York
and without an expert at the head the
value of the bureau would be small
Dr. Upson told the Richmond men.
The assistants DR.. Upson employees
are not retained throughout the year
but work only long enough to col
lect the information necessary to the
bureau.
DR.. Upson and his assistants have
just outlined the city budget for next
year. Work on a new bookkeeping
system will start soon. Street build
ing, the purchasing of supplies and
all other matters which come before
any part of the city government is in
vestigated from every angle and ex
pert advice given the city officials or
the matter.
Cites Improvement.
AS anSexample, DR.. Upson said be

was paying $115 a foot for 6re hose
The hose is now secured at 81 cents

Good Resolutions For Com

Work Overtime.

There is every indication that there
will be any number of headaches to-
morrow, also stern resolutions to
never again"
This prediction is based on the fact
that today large per centage of the
population of Richmond was preparing
to observe the birth of the new year
in the most approved fashion with a
number of extra numbers added to the
usual program for this annual event
Hence the headaches and stern reso-
lutiOns.
AS usual the thirst parties will do a
land office business and the dance
halls will groan under their burdens
of tangoing, bear-cating and bunny
hugging humanity, open house will be
observed in all the clubs and the So
cial editor reports that. she believes
"see-the-new-year-in parties are on
the social programs of about every
other home in the city.
Engage Cafe Tables.
Several parties of new year celebra-
tors have engaged tables at the Airing
ton cafe
The first signal of the dawning new
year will be received by wireless at
the Dickinson Jewelry store tonight
while the old year still has an hour to
live. AS usual the time will be mark
ed by the dispatcher at Arlington, Va.
Exactly at 12 o'clock when 1913 and
1914 meet for a fleeting sscond the
time will be flashed from the govern
ment station. Owing to the difference
in time that will only be IL o'clock
here.
The usual program of permitting
every whistle and all the bells of the
city to run amuck promptly when both
hands of the clock point to the mid
night hour will be closely adhered to.
And at precisely the same second there
will be strange noises coming forth in
chorus from a multitude of throats,
we'll irrigated by the enthusiasm-in-
spring contents of innumerable flow

In the central district of the city the
police are anticipating handling large
crowds of good-natured revelers at
that mystic hour when Father Time
groans, what, another" but these
New Year celebrators are usually quite
easily controlled, so no worry wrin-
kles are darkening the countenances
of the guardians of the peace and no
one in search of good time will be
interrupted unless the bounds of pro-
priety are too greatly overstepped.
Amusements Open Thursday.
More dignity will mark the celebra-
tion of the new year tomorrow. Good
resolutions for 1914 will be working
overtime by then. The water wagon
will squeak under it's cargo and its
skipper will be old Captain R. E.
Morse.
All day tomorrow open house will
be observed at the Y. NJ. G. A. with an
unusually interesting program. Special
services will be held at many of the
churches and special amusement fea-
lures have been provided by nearly all
the theatres. In the evening the Entire
Nous club will hold it's annual banquet
for members and invited guests. The
Elks, Eagles, Druids and Moose clubs
will also appropriately observe the
holiday for their members.

happiness smiling on its citizens
Business conditions, generally &C

maintain that their sales in the latter

being equal, than those of other Ind

A review of the financial district
shows that banks and saving institu-

basis and that deposits, instead of de-
clining as in many cities, have in
creased.

To expedite the work of codifying
the city ordinances, Councilman
Waidele, upon recommendation of City
Attorney Bond introduced a bill for
an ordinance creating the offices OF
street commissioner and assistant
street commissioner at the final ses
sion of the Zimmerman council last

ure being referred to the committee

than before the new council Monday
night, and how it differed from pres
ent regulations.
By placing the proposed measure be
fore council and having it referred tC
committee last night. City Attorney
Bond said he hoped to secure its
passage Monday night. 1t does moi
change the present laws, but covers ir
brief space previous ordinances
which take up page after page in the
old ordinance books, Bond explained
The only object he claimed was tt

The measure provides for the crea
tion of offices for street commission
er and assistant street commissions
at salaries of $1,000 and sS4O, respect

appointments by the board of public
works, which has power to suspend
and fill vacancies. Officers are no

ed. Both officers are required to give
bonds for $4,000 and $1,000.

Grade of Main Street
Hill.

Members of the West Richmond I'm
proyement association will go before
the county commissioners Saturday
afternoon and ask a thorough investi-
CATION and estimates on the eIimina-
ton OF the Main street hill. They viii
ask that a staff OF engineers make a
study of conditions.
This action was decided upon yes
terday afternoon when the executive
committee approved of DR. E. b. Gros-
venor's plan for doing away with the
grade and making the c. & o. railroad
place its tracks under the street
IL the county commissioners grant
the associations request. DR.. Grosve-
nor said the executive committee
would ask the board OF works not TO
order the paving of the hill until the

GOVERNMENT EXPERT
.CR|T|C|SES HIGHWAYS
Administrative System In
Wayne County Declared
Lax One.

That Wayne county's system of road
administration is wasteful and unsat-
isfactory and the ability of road su-
pervlsors to get votes counts more
than their ability as road men, is
pointed out in a government report
submitted to the Commercial club by
Herman L. Arbenz. senior highway
engineer of the United States depart
ment of agriculture at Washington.
Mr. Arbenz completed a survey of the
roads, bridges and topography of
Wayne county in May. 1913.
Mr.. Arbenz adds that "the county
roads are really in fair shape" con-
siaering the poor administrative sys-
tenn and other defects which he points
out, such as the labor Law. by which
taxpayers receive credit for working
on the roadways-
Club to Study Report.
The government expert was brought
here by the county commissioners and
the Commercial club. The CONNER
cial club will take up the report in de-
tail and study suggestions which are
submitted for the correction of road
evils in the county.
Among his recommendations Mr..
Arbenz suggests that the road tax,
which was cents on 500 valuation
for each ten miles of free gravel
road in the county, should be raised to
10 cents, which would net the coun-
" about SI60 for each mile OF county
road With this sum, he says, the
county roads could be put in excellent
shape and the take again lowered
"On account of the great amount of
auto travel in the county, macadam
roads Will prove unsatisfactory unless
treated" the report says. The most
important main roads should be paved
with brick or concrete. Cement curbs
and cutters on county roads are lux
uries, and those who want these re-
fnements should pay for them them
selves"

DISCUSS METHODS
FOR ASSESSMENTS

How shall the property on either
side of Main street at the approach
to the bridge be assessed in case the
proposed paving is laid? is another
question which is puzzling City En-
gineer and City Attorney Bond. On
bother sides of the section of the
street which would he paved is a mar
row strip which was formerly Main
street and the old National road. The
city officials are uncertain whether
the city should be assessed because
OF this land or place the assessment
on the light and power companies.
