ance Bureau.
FINANCES TOO Low
Mayor Points to Cost of Aef.
ial Truck and Increased
Number of Firemen as
PrOhibitive.

Efforts to reduce fire insurance
rates for business houses and other
property within the fire limits of Rich
mond by having the city of Richmond
advanced from fire insurance class
three to class two were temporarily
abandoned today when Mayor Robbins
informed George H. Eggemeyer. chair
man of the insurance committee Of the
Commercial club, that the city could
not afford to comply with two of the
requirements Of the state bureau, tho
purchasing of motor-driven aerial
ladder truck and the increase OF the
fire department by the appointment of
five additional firemen.
Mayor Gives Reasons.
Mayor Robbins pointed out to Mr..
Eggemeyer that appropriations for
next year have already been made. A
new truck would cost about $4,000
while the salaries Of the five new fire
men would amount to $4,000. Mayor
Robbins also stated that it was ex-
tremely doubtful If such expenses
could be provided for in 1915 if the
city's income that year was no greater
than what it will be next year. II they
were authorized for 1916, the mayor
thought, it would be necessary to pro-
vide slight increase in the city tax
rate, which is now $1.1O on the 800
valuation.
Mr. Sellers, chief of the state under
writer's fire insurance bureau, in a
letter written to Mayor Robbins Oct.
"a and made public for the first time
today, listed six requirements to ad-
vance the city into class two. which
would result in the following approx
mate rate reductions:
Brick mercantile buildings, Is per
cent.
Contents Of brick mercantile build
ings (average), 5 per cent.
Frame mercantile buildings and con-
tents, 8 per cent.
Agreement Expires in rs.
In concluding his letter Mr.. Sellers
states: kindly bear in mind that
the conditions and agreement as
specified on the part of this bureau are
veid at the expiration of one year from
date October "a. 1910 unless extend
ed by special endorsement"
The requirements specified in Mr..
are as follows:
First-A IS or S5 foot motor-driven
ladder truck, to replace the present
reserve. The new truck to be manned
by six men, four to be taken from the
present service truck and two addit-
ional provided.
Second-Provide three additional

will be benefited by the Christmas
savings funds. There are more than
$500 accounts held by 1900 persons
whi will receive checks ranging from
$12 to $65, the larger accounts being
in the majority.
Business conditions caused the
banks to receive many applications for
Withdrawals earlier. Although against
the rules of the savings accounts, the
banks allowed many persons to take
their money out for immediate use.
Funds Will Help.
The money will be spent for Christ
mas presents, clothing or useful arti-
cles in some cases, but the checks will
go into many families where the pro-
WIDER has been out of work for some
time, and will furnish cash to pay up
grocery and fuel bills and relieve tenn
porarily an unknown amount of hard
ship.
Bankers say that the Christmas saw
ings plan has brought to the bank hun
dreds of persons who never had saw
ings accounts before. Men, women
and many children are included on the
Christmas account books in the bank
ing institutions.
The banks announced that they will
open Christmas saving accounts the
third week in December for next year
The Dickinson Trust company and the
Union National bank have similar
plans under consideration

The same plan will be used next
year, the one, two and five-cent cards,

ment plans in which 25 cents, so cents

also be available.
Merchants say that they are holding
many of their accounts until the send
ing out of the Christmas savings funds

Quite number Of families stop
ped paying on the Christmas funds in

cessfully passed that time have contin-
ued to keep up their payments. There

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-The utmost con-
fidence was expressed at the war office
today that the result of the battles
now raging in Poland would be de-
cisive victory for the Germans and
Austrians and would settle the fate of
the Russian campaign.
Vienna added to the general conf
dence here with a declaration that the
Austrian and German allies were con-
tinuing their attack successfully. News
that heavy battles are in progress west
Of the Dunajecriver in Galicia shows
the tremendous extent of the territory
involved in the struggle. Battles are
also going on on the Carpathians.
In addition to their successful ad-
vance to the Suez canal, the Turks
also report progress in the direction of
Batoum, the important Russian port
on the Black Sea. They say that all
the territory between the Turkco-Rus-

in their hands, and that their army in

CLUBS START SEAL
SALES To FINANCE
WHITE PLAGUE WAR
Mrs. Walter Bates and Mrs.
Ed. Schalk Will Direct
Corps of Workers in City
Territory.

Distribution of red cross seals is
practically completed by the Wayne
County Anti-Tuberculosis society, the
campaign for selling them opening
Friday, in all parts of the state. The
appearance of the stamps on the backs
of letters and on parcels is becoming
more frequent. No reports as to the
amount of sales have been made. The
Wayne county society has adopted the
state slogan, Ten seals per capita
Mrs. Walter Bates and Mrs. Schalk
will have direct charge of the sale
of Red Cross seals by the club women
OF Richmond. The Domestic Science
association and other members of the
federation of clubs, will handle practi.
cally all stamps sold in the city while
the schools will be counted on for
most of the county seals.
Each Red Cross Seal sold is bull
let in the fight against the disease"
said S. E. Bond, county sales agent.
Every cent is utilized. The committee
will retain seventy-tive per cent of all
seals sold in the county to be used
in the local work.
when you buy Red Cross Seal
you not only help the community suf
ferers but Indirectly assist the big
Red Cross organization in it's work in
the battle field. In Indiana for three
years the state has been organized
until today in nearly every county and
township there are organizations sell
ing seals.
Last year Richmond was 14th in
the procession in the amount of seals
sold. We certainly do not want with
all our wealth and culture, and senti-
ment of response to fall below this
figure, which means that towns of five
or six thousand have sold more seals
than Richmond"
