The administrative board yesterday
afternoon took a trip of inspection
over a large portion of the western
section of the city. They took occasion
to visit the many places In that sec
ton in which street improvements are
now in progress. Numerous streets
and alleys showed the result of the
expenditure Of funds for the improve
ment Of the city.
The most Interesting points were
those on West Cary street and on
South Randolph street. the latter
leading to Mount Calvary and River
view cemeteries. Cary street is being
widened and graded so that within
short time that street will prove
to be one Of the most attractive as a
driveway In the city. Recently coun-
ty officials in conjunction with the
city council appropriated a sufficient
sum to place Cary street road In good
shape. That road Is now the principal
one leading out Of the city. All who
go to the Country club. or who will
have to use this street and road, I'M
less they go by way of the West
hampton street car line.
Work Go On.

tention OF the street cleaning depart
ment, as was suggested by Commits
sioner Mccarthy. Otherwise 1t looks
all right. And 1t appears to be one
of the smoothest streets in the city.
But, even with all the work now
being done, the board found many
vacant lots. and undeveloped places.

TT will take q million dollars to
finish this work." commented Com
missioner Mccarthy.
THAT wouldn't go half way" said
Commissioner Beck.
The board yesterday advised Archi-
tects Carneal & Johnston to rush
ahead with the work of making plans
for a temporary market on the old
Seabrook warehouse block. on Grace
street. between Seventeenth and Eigh-
teenth streets, This temporary struc-
ture Is to be used while the new mar
ket between Main and Franklin and
Sixteenth and Seventeenth street, is
being built. This will cost $4,000,
which has been appropriated.
Improve Cemetery.
The board having been informed
that Shockoe Hill cemetery is in bad
shape, determined TO see that the
cemetery be placed in proper condi-
ton. The supervision OF this ceme-
terry lies with the superintendent of
the City home.
Commissioner Fnrschberg was
oar,~A as a roy, ,stteA NJ ono 70 con
fer with Superintendent Cabell In
reference to the matter. and IN addi-
ton to formulate a new set of rules
for not only the conduct OF the ceme-
terry but the home itself. These rules
will be submitted to the board at an
early meeting.
A number of requests for street re-
pairs and alley Improvements were
referred to the city engineer.

weakened by the struggle she
was maintaining to control her
grief, Lady Scott, widow of Capt.
Robert F. Scott, the antarctic

Lieut.. Bruce.
Lady Scott said she learned of
her husbands death by wireless
while aboard the steamer Aoran-

co few days before the fate of
Scott and his comrades became
known.
