The output Of the Gas Works for

age and condemnation was 6g,072.se
cubic feet. or l1.37 per cent, being 81
per cent less than in the previous
year. The Mayor says:
The large annual increase in con-
sumption of gas, the rapid increase in
our population. and the apparent prob
ability of large and sudden demand
for gas following annexation. requires
immediate attention to the superin-
tendcnts recomme ndation that the
city adopt a comprehensive plan for
the enlargement of the works. provi-
sion of additional holders aud the lay
ing OF mains OF sizes and in locations
of future business. Your attention is
called to the continued advance in
prices and the decrease in the supply
OF all grades OF oil used in gas max
ing The estimated increase in our
oil cost for 1913 is 100000. This may
bring US TO the necessity OF return
ing 10 coal gas To meet this con-
dtion the superintendent recommends
an increase OF our coal gas generating
capacity to 100000 cubic feet per
day"
Profit From Cos.
The Mayor recommends that the pro-
nts from the Gas Works be rein
vested in bringing the plant UP to a
higher state of efficiency before steps
are taken 10 reduce the price. The

year were s4s4,1I5.o6, tho total Of ex-

Need More Policemen.
The report OF the Chief of Police
shows last year to have been the
busiest in the police annals of the
city, 1903 arrests, 5.i53 ordinance
violations. and i.37I miscellaneous re-
ports having been recorded. OF the
total arrests. nineteen per cent were
under the age OF twenty -onc.
Your attention is especially invited
TO that part Of the report" says the
Mayor. recommending an increase IN
the force OF twenty-five men. The force
is not of sufficient size TO patrol the
territory. comprising three districts
and more men are needed for the traf-
&c service. The report OF the proba-
ton officers completely proves their
usefulness. one valuable service was
the collection OF more than $1,000 from
men on probation for nonsupport
which has been turned over 10 their
families
The Mayor recommends that he be
given authority TO offer suitable re-
wards for information leading 10 the
capture or conviction OF persons who
have committed crimes
In connection with the report OF the
Street Cleaning Department, Mayor
Ainslie notes that there has been an

Co-Oprrntlon for street Cleaners.
The perpetual manner in which we
Hitter our streets with waste paper
and trash is born OF a thoughtless In
difference and carelessness amounting
almost TO positive contempt for civic
cleanliness. Until each citizen regards
the duty TO help keep Richmond clean
as personal TO himself. we shall al
ways suffer from this nuisance. Ike
ccptacles for waste paper Should be
placed. and they would receive much
OF 1t, but most of the trouble comes
from residences and business houses.

Whoever does IL, should do X with
