Milwaukee, July 15.-Proprietors
of palm gardens and dance halls had
an opportunity today to tell the state
vice commission how well they con-
duct their amusement places. In
testimony heretofore the famous
Milwaukee resorts have been crit
cized as a cause of much vice in the

discussed the question of its removal
from a professional standpoint, say
ing that the number of venereal dis
eases had decreased since the wip-

Ask for Ornamental System
From West Eighth to Glen
Miller Park, Distance of
Two Miles.
JORDAN FILES PAPER
Bavis Fears BurdensOme Cost
to City Light Plant
Works Board Expects to
Hear RemOnstrances.

Petitions for extensions of the pro-
posed ornamental lighting system were
presented to the board of works by
c. w. Jordan Of the Commercial club
and will be acted upon with the origi-
ral petitions, which also include the
system for the north end business dis
trict, after the first of next year, Pres
ident Bavis OF the board announced.
The ornamental lighting system on
Main street from, Fourth street to
Twelfth street was petitioned for sew
eral weeks ago. Today the extension of
this system on Main street from West
Eight street to East Fourth street, and
from Twelfth street east to Glen Mil
ler park, at Twenty-third street, was
petitioned for.
IF these petitions go through" said
Mr.. Jordan, 'Richmond's Main street
will be white way its entire length,
two and a half miles.
Cost Burdens Plant.
President Bavis said that he did not
know what the total cost of the con-
templated Improvement would be, but
Supt Kleinknecht estimated that the
city's share Of the expense, which is
to be what the cost of installing a
bracket system would have been,
would be close to 10000, to be borne
by the municipal lighting plant. He in
timated that this expense would be a
burden to the plant
Mr.. Jordan estimated that S5 per
cent of those who signed the petitions
presented today were property own
ers, but he did not know how many
were resident property owners, the
only ones who have the right to remon-
strate Those who signed the petition
waived all right of remonstrance.
Expect Remonstrance.
MIR. Marlatt of the board stated that
he had heard quite few resident prop
crty owners on the streets where 1t is
proposed to install the system arc
planning to file remOnstrance. On the
petition for ornamental lights from
West Eighth street to Fourth street,
there were :;S signatures and on the
petition circulated from Twelfth street
10 the pArk there We're 26 signatures.
Plans and specifications for the sys-
tenn prepared under the original peti-
tons have been prepared and were
submitted today. After the first of the
year the board will set a day of hear
ing on all of the petitions.
In the business districts the plans
call for eight lamps and standards to a
block. On the residential districts Of
Main street it is planned to install
four lamps and standards to a block. If
the system is extended it means an
increase OF 72 lamps and standards
and an additional rectitier at the city
plant, which costs about $1,000.

Though the Austro-German forces
