Administrative
Boards Work

When the administrative board puts
in it's list OF wants" for the coming
year. 1t will include increases of wages
for the parkkeepers and city hall en-
ployes. The parkkeepers have been
anxious for n raise for some time, and
so have the watchmen. tanitors and
elevator men at the City hall. Some of
them got it. notably the elevator men.
Tho question of raising the wages Of
the parkkeepers caused dissention in
the ranks. Some accepted the sum
mentioned. others would rather let II
stay than take the small pit.ance of a
raise.
It is determined, however. that an
effort VIII be made by the board to
get a sufficient "ium psum," so that
salaries may be increased.
Some members of tho board. 1t Is
said, are DESTROYS of having "a gen
eral superintendent of parks. This
is to relieve the members of the board
from overseeing the work. But, 1t Is
said around the City hall, this will
not be urged unless the administra
| tive board is given more work and
more responsibilities. II superin-
tendent of all parks is named, that
part of the duties Of the administra-
tive board will be eliminated.
| With the demand for increased
wages for the parkkeepers. there Is
little chance OF the creation OF an
other office or job.
| After looking over the proposition
| Of accepting the slice OF land offered
the city by w Creanor Neal, at the
| foot Of Fifth street. as an adjunct In
| the blishment OF the propose d
Riverside boulevard, the adminastra-
tive board yesterday felt that It would
be cheaper to let the proposition go
! by the board, and at the proper time.
run the boulevard in another direc-
ton The reason for this action was
the fact that. as Engineer Burgwyn
stated. the cost of placing retaining
1 walls around Mr. Meals property
would be more than the city at this
time, or probably any other time,
could well afford.
Tin cans or waste receptacles Tor
street trash, will. according to Super
lintendent Cohn of the street cleaning
department, cost much money. He OK
hibited to the administrative board
yesterday morning two sample cans
from New York, the only ones sent 70
him. after vast advertising. They cost
81 per piece. by the dozen. The board
will hardly take this proposition SER
Iiously and VIII endeavor to have some
local concern furnish the cans at a
lower price.
Before February list. all the house
Il holders of Richmond will have to
have cans for the purpose OF ash and
garbage deposits, under the cleaner
/ city" ordinance. 1t Is hoped. said o
l member OF the administrative board
yesterday, that the cost of these cans
| will not be anything like that charged
by the concern furnishing the samples

SPRING FEVER

Some people give that name to
the enervating languor brought on
by the first warm weather Others
apply it to the restless dream Of
winding country roads and grassy
trout dreams that tempt man
to shut his desk with bang and
skip.
Spring is the hardest weather in
the year for a fellow to work.
The Office or factory seems friend
ly enough shelter during the chill
storms of winter. In May the whole
system of the worlds work seems
a crime. Dusty Rhodes looks like
the only true philosopher.
This confinement within four
walls on these lovely days may be
abnormal and different from the
life man was built to lead. But
the persistence with which people
stick to their tasks deaf to these
calls of vagrant nature, shows the
human spirit has acquired some
splendid habits Of persistent indus
try and patient regularity. These
habits and qualities in the long
run bring ample rewards.

7nInIOcATION
VS.. ENTERPRISE

In the days before modern adj
vertising, business success was the
work Of life time. A merchant
had to squat in his location, and
for years he never got any trade
but the drifteYB. Staid and con-
sentative , people traded where
they used to trade. 1t never oc-
cured to them that any one else
could have anything worth atten-
ton.
Today the currents of business
can be east y diverted In any live
town there are new men who
have acquired a handsome good
will by years intelligent and per-
sistent advertising.
The public does not ask today,
What kind of goods does your
father sell, or what kind of goods
are you selling today? 1t apprec-
jates the great value of an old To-
cation and an honorable record.
But those factors do not count
much unless they are united with
wide-awake enterprise. And no
man gives any evidence chat he has
enterprise enough to protect his
customers interest. unless he
keeps the public constantly inform
ed of what he is doing.
