COMMISSIONER HECK WOULD
DIVERT STREAM INTO USES
WHICH NATURE DESIGNED. :
FUNDS FOR BRIDGE
ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD ASKS
FOR MUCH MONEY FOR STREET
IMPROVEMENTS. INCLUDING
BROAD STREET PAVING.
FUNDS FOR BF

Taking the bull by the horns the
administrative board yesterday adopt
ed resolutions asking the city council
to make large appropriations for street
improvements for a new bridge over
the river from Ninth street, and for
permanent improvements to Shockoe
creek.
The total amount aggregate 1,795.-
900. From this sum $1,000,000 is to
be used In Shockoe creek improve
ments; 100000 for the proposed
bridge to take the place Of the free
bridge, and the remainder for street
improvements. including $4,000 for
smooth paving on Broad street from
Third street west.
This money will have to be raised
through a bond issue. The board
some time ago suggested bond issue
of 100000 for street improvements
alone. Members of the finance com
mittee and of council felt that bond
issue .or street imp ovements might
not be the proper thing. as before the
LIQUIDATION might have taken place the
streets might have become useless.
and snother bond Issue might become
ecessary Bond issues should be for
permanent and lasting things. they
argued. Other members thought that
as the streets needed much improve

money in the treasury, there seemed
to be no other way in which to raise
the funds.
Should Improve ShOckoe Creek.
The first and most important reso-
luton was presented by Mr.. Beck. He
asked that the city engineer be en-
powered to employ a sufficient force
Of competent engineers to make maps,
surveys drawings and plans for the
complete improvement Of Shockoe
creek and its tributaries. within the
limits of the city of Richmond, and to
give the information sought to the ad-
minstrative board. If possible, within
the next thirty days. This report is
to be forwarded to council together
with a supplementary report concern
! ing the condition of the city territory
/ in its relation with adjacent territory,
SO that ample arrangements may be
made to take care of possible extern
sion of the city limits,
II was estimated that this work
would to its completion cost the city
at least a million dollars.
Mr.. Whittet presented the resolution
asking for $500, 600 for a new bridge.
A number of plans designed for such

board. Ii is not the intention of the
board to begin work on this bridge un-

Menace TO Health.
In speaking to his resolution for
Shockoe creek improvements MIR
Beck said that the improvements were
imperative. He said that the creek
had for many years been menace
to health and TO the safety of prop
erty. For many years the city coun-
ell appropriated money for Shockoe
creek Improvements which was in
variably diverted to some other use.
Finally the old committee on Shock oe
creek was abolished and whatever
funds were spent that direction went
to the council committee on streets,
which was usually diverted to some
other work.
Now" said Mr. Beck, this work
should be done. and no time lost.
Valuable property is remaining w
developed and much space Is being
taken up which may be converted
into assets. As sewer the creek is
invaluable With a walled channel.
wherever possible, and covered
passage where necessary. the creek
may be shaped into the serviceable
utility for which nature formed II"
Mr.. Hirschberg said that the city
needed much money for street work,
and that while he asked for s150.000
that would not be sufficient to COM
piete the work already projected.
But" he said. I'VE can hardly use
more than that this year. with what
we have already spent. And the Broad
street smooth paving should be con-
tinued."
MIR. Whittet stated that the Ninth
street bridge had to come. and that
now is the time TO start. so that there
might be no such delays as the city
Mad heretofore experienced.
In reply to a letter from the board
president, George w. Stevens. of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad COM
pany. notified the board that his
company would be glad to cooperate
in the work of extending Grace
street over the Church Hill tunnel.
II Is the purpose of the board to ex-
tend the street over the ravine and
across the tunnel. so that not only
may the street be further opened but
the territory adjoining may be utilized
as a playground for the children of
the eastern section Of the city. Mr.
Stevens said the company would not
object to anything the city wished to
do in the premises, provided the road
was left harmless.
A large number of requests for
grading and crawling, curbing and
guttering and other minor wants, was
received and referred

THE United States is ridiculously
prepared for war" said Professor
William Howard Taft today in a last
of the series OF lectures delivered as
Kent Professor Of Law in Yale, Pro-
fessor Taft's analysis of the situation,
made in his discussion of the question
of an army and navy for the. United
States, was as follows:
The Americans are shrewd, wise
people, usually gifted with foresight,
but they have not shown it in their at
titude toward the army and navy pol
Icy. Congress continues to be reluc-
tant to maintain an adequate army. 1t
/ is easy to get money for a militia, for
militia has votes and friends, but a
/ regular army is far different. There
) is a saying that The Lord looks after
children and drunken men, This GER
tainly ought to be extended to the
/ United States.
"Of course, our separation from
foreign countries by oceans is cause
for not assuming too heavy a burden,
but we are very much nearer Europe
and Asia, many, many times nearer
than we were in Washington's time.
Occasionally we get a jar and notice
our position, but luck has been with
us in the past, and we cannot assume
that it will always continue thus.
Many writer's who have written If
a possible invasion of Japanese and
its result, have assumed that Japan
could do a lot of impossible things
and in the meantime we would do
nothing, but really our coast fortifi-
cations are only designed against a
sea attack and do not count on the
possibility of land force.
Perhaps you think this a military
and warlike address, coming from a
man supposed to be an advocate of il
ternational peace, but am unwilling
to see our country put at a disadvant-
age by assuming a condition that does
not exist, assuming that other nations
lare willing to disarmament.
