TAKE UP PLAN To
CONSTRUCT HOMES
Commercial Club lndorseS
Suggestion of Builders
Association.
OTHER ACTION TAKEN
Directors Pleased Over Ap-
pointment of Reid on
State Board.
OTHER ACTION TAKEN

The Richmond Home Builders asso-
citation presented a plan to the direct
ors of the Richmond Commercial club
an organization may be form
ed in this city for the purpose of build
ing homes for persons who will be al
lowed to make monthly payments on
houses. The association owns tracts
of land in this city. The directors
were favorably impressed with the
plan which will afford a means for
the working men of the city to own
their own homes.
The Miller-Kemper company of this
city is backing the project and ii Will
probably be taken up by the club. The
plan was referred to the Home" COM
mittee of the club.
A similar proposition has been sug-
gested by a real estate company which
proposes to build homes in Beallview
and vicinity. The numerous factories
which have been constructed in Beall-
view will open a field for an organiza-
tion of this kind.
The Richmond Home Telephone
company and the Western Union Tele-
graph company of this city notified
the club members that there would be
no charges for the long distance tele-
phone calls or kilograms sent during
the floods by the Relief Committee.
1t is estimated that the expenditures
would be not less than 500 for mes
sages sent by the committee in charge
of the relief work from this city.
The sum of $40 was appropriated for
new silk flag which is to be pre-.
sented to the school, the children of
which did the most work during
Cleaning" day.
The directors of the club will in
dorse. the action on the part of the
local Post of T. p. A. in securing the
1914 convention of that organization
The 1918 convention will be held in
Ft. Wayne this week. Delegates from
this city will ask that it be held here
The directors indorsed the action oi
Gov. Ralston in appointing p. A. Reid
of this city as a. member of the state
board of education.
The committee having charge of the
proposition of extending the city lines
north to the hospital and through the
southern part of the city will go to In
dianapolis to take up the matter with
the officials of the T. H., /. & E. trac
tion company. The company will also
be asked to construct the proposed
lines through the Hawkins lake addi
tion. 1t is planned that the company
construct the lines this season. The
lines will only be on the south side o.
the lake.

An Almost Solid Party Vote
Will be Cast for the Un-
derwood Measure.
VOTE ON THURSDAY
Progressives Are Divided on
The Tariff-Wool Fight
Has Begun Now.
CNational News Association

WASHINGTON. May 6.--An almost
solid Democratic vote will be cast for
the Underwood tariff bill which will
come up before the house for final ac-
tion, probably Thursday. Several
Ohio Democrats who are opposed to
the free wool provision will vote
against it, including Rep. Ashbrook.
There will probably be no other Demo
cratic votes in opposition. The Pro-
gressives will divide. Rep. Murdoch.
the Progressive leader, will vote
against the bill while some of his fol-
lowers will vote for 1t. Others viii
not vote at all.
Rep. Kent of Ohio. an independent,
will vote for the bill. A final show
down on the question of whether raw
wool should remain on the free list
came today and ii was apparent that
there was much opposition to the Un-
derwood provision, but only few
Democrats are expected to vote
against it. -E
The income tax will not be disposed
of until late tomorrow. Opponents of
the income tax principle were about
equally divided among the Democratic
and Republican sides, although none
of the former will oppose the bill.

JOHNSTON IS URGED
TO Be A CANDIDATE
Council to Take up Matter of
Filling Vacancy Next
Month.

At a meeting of city council next
month the matter of filling the vacan-
cy on the city board of education,
which will be caused by the expiration
of the term of DR.. M. F. Johnston,
president, will be taken up. Council
last evening instructed City Attorney
Bond to look up the law as to when
and how the vacancy should be filled
Friends of DR.. Johnston are urging
him to be candidate for a place on
the board again but up to the present
he has made no statement regarding
the matter.
During the last two months, DR.
Johnston has made several trips to
various parts of the state in the at
tempt to learn of qualifications of per-
sons who have made applications for
the position of city superintendent of
public instruction in Richmond In
formation which he has gathered will
be submitted to the board before the
matter of electing a new superintend-
ent to take the place vacated by T.
Abbott Mott is taken up.
In speaking of DIR. Johnston's work
on the school board today, Miss Sarah
Hill, secretary of the board said
Il believe that DIR. Johnston should
become a candidate for reelection
There is every reason why he should
be continued on the board of education
by the Richmond city council His long
experience on the board is invaluable,
especially at this time when a new
superintendent of the schools is to be
selected. He has served as president
and secretary of the board at different
times, and is well qualified for the
duties imposed upon members of the
body
Charles w Jordan, treasurer of the
school board, declared today that the
work of DR. Johnston, as president of
the board, is highly commendable.

Councilmen Say That People
Are Demanding that Some
thing be Done Towards Al
laying Dust.
ONE ASKS WHY WORD
HAS NOT BEEN KEPT
Bill for an Ordinance to Pro-
hibit Lettering of Minors in
Pool and Card Rooms Was
Defeated.

Members of council last night, GEN.
sured Mayor Zimmerman for stopping
any movements on the part of the
city towards oiling the streets under
declared that the people of the city
are demanding that the streets be oil
ed according to the law, under public
contract. Arguments advocating res
olution by the board of works to or
der bids for oiling certain streets of
the city through public contract, were
advanced by the councilmen.
II believe that the citizens are de-
manding that the board of works act
in this matter according to the power
II has under the new law" said Coun-
Gilman Weishaupt There is a de-
mand that the dust be allayed in this
way or in some way so that it does
not continue to be inconvenient and
dangerous to the public health"
Mayor Zimmerman stated that the
board of works will do nothing in the
matter and that the city would not
have enough money to pay for the
street intersections if such action
we're ordered. He also argued that, in
the six or eight weeks which would
elapse before any oiling could be done
under public contract the dusty season
of the year would have been half over.

What are six or eight weeks?" ask

bring the oiling to the time when the
dust is beginning to be most annoying
and dangerous. l do not believe that
the city would have to pay the inter-
sections any way"
Councilman Engelbert asked Mayor
Zimmerman If he had made the state
ment that North and South A streets
and other streets of the city would be
oiled at once under public contract.
The mayor did not deny the fact and
Engelbert censured him for not carry
ing out his promise. why don't you
carry out your promises when the citi-
iEens are demanding that something be
idone?" he asked. you have made the
statement. that the board of works
would advertise for bids for the oiling
of certain streets and now you have
backed down on your statements"
Mayor Zimmerman stated to the
councilmep that two coats of oil would
be necessary to satisfactorily allay the
dust. The councilmen, however, re-
fused to accept this statement from
the mayor, giving specific cases to re-
flute his argument. Then the mayor
refused to hear the matter discussed
further.
Ordinance Bill Defeated.
A bill for an ordinance on third
reading, providing penalties for min
ors lettering in cigar stores, saloons,
pool and card rooms was defeated
unanimously, the one councilman who
voted for the ordinance asking permis-
sion to change his vote. The question
as to what privileges and rights the
young men of the city should have
wae discussed, every member of coun-
Gil stating that he was in favor of re-
stricting young boys from loafing in
pool rooms and saloons but not minors
