ONLY SIX PERSONS
OUT FOR MEETING
TO AvOISE MAYOR
Members of Advisory Body
Discuss Lack of Interest
and Ask Better Attendance
at Sessions.

When the monthly meeting OF the
mayors advisory board convened last
night it was q case of mo quorum"
for time, only four members and one
substitute member being present
Later two more arrived. The board
consists of twelve members. After q
brief session the board adjourned to
meet again next Friday night.
In an informal manner the few
members discussed the lack OF inter
est displayed in the boards activities
but expressed hope that in the future
there would be q larger attendance at
the meetings.
The RESIGNATION Of Miss Bertha
Larsh, secretary of the board, was re-
ceived last night. Her school duties
prevent her from engaging In this
work, she explainedntn her letter OF
resignation. Miss Norman acted Tor
her last night.
President Bavis of the board OF pub
lie works, attended the meeting and
requested that the advisory board
meet with the board of public works
to map out a program for the activf-
ties of the former organization. He
suggested that the advisory board CO.
operate with the board of public works
in the consideration of distribution OF
new street lamps; the collection and
disposal of garbage; the oiling OF
streets; cleanup week matters; the
new municipal labratory and health
affairs.
After a discussion as to whether the
advisory board should act in conjunc-
ton with the board of public works
or independent of it, the decision was
reached that the board should meet
by itself and then. if it had any mat
tiers to bring to the attention OF the
board of public works hold joint
meeting with the latter body.
Committees recently appointed by
the advisory board will submit reports
next Friday night.
| Mrs. Stephens last evening called
attention to the numerous weeds on
South Seventeenth street, and Mr.. Ba-
Wis informed the board that trash
boxes to be placed on streets were to
i be purchased next year.
Those who attended the meeting
last night were James COyle. Folger
Wilson. George Guyer, Mrs. Stephens.

COUNCIL PUTS PARK ISSUE
BEFORE BOARD OF WORKS

weeks and set a date not less than ten
days after the last publication for
hearing of circumstances. Then the
board shall take final action.
Before Council Last.
'"Thus it is plainly provided by
statutory provisions" the report con-
cludes, that the board of public works
has the power to receive, purchase and
condemn land for public parks. 1t
seems plain to us that as this power
is vested in the board under the law
that it must be exercised by the
board and not by council. We are not
in the least seeking to escape respon-
sibility in this matter, but stand ready
to act in accordance with what we
deem to be right whenever this matter
is properly presented to us, but with
out any legal action having been taken
on this matter by the board up to this
time we regard the same at this time
as a mere moot question so far as this
body is concerned, and wholly fail to
see any benefit that can be obtained
for any one by any action which we
may now take.
IF the board desires to contract fo1
the purchase OF any or all of this
ground, or to acquire the same by con
domination proceedings, and, as pro
vided by law, will report it's action fol
approval or requesting that the necee
sary funds b provided, council should
and will then act in accordance with
what it regards as best for the public
good and most conclusive to the gen
eral welfare of the city. We, there
fore, recommend that all information
which we have obtained and all mat
tiers pertaining to this matter be re
ferred to the board of public work:
for its use and. consideration, and 70.
such action thereon as it may deem
best"

Investigation committee was named,
composed Of Howells, Carter and
Burdsall.
Eversman Asks Increase
The following communication from
Mr.. Eversman was read to council:
Common Council of the City Of Rich
mond:
"Mr. President and Members@1 un-
derstand city controller is going to ask
council tonight to appropriate more
money for the upkeep of the police
automobile. We want you to under
stand that the machine can not be
run without any expense at all, and al
so that 1t takes more money to run an
automobile than it does to feed a
horse, and now, gentlemen, when you
appropriate this money for the up
keep Of the police automobile 1t will
be the first you ever appropriated. be-
cause the 81. 200 that you appropriated
was for the purchase OF the machine
and not the upkeep. 1t has been ru-
mored around that the police depart
ment was using the machine more for
Joy riding than anythink else, and
want to tell you frankly that every
time you see the machine on the street
1t il out on police business and not
for Joy riding.
Gentlemen, there is another matter
I want to call your attention to. and
that is the salaries of the police de-
partment. Just think the patrolmen
oily getting $40 a month; there is not
q member of council but what Is get
ting more than $40 a month and does
not have to buy the equipment Pc
liceman does. 1t costs man when
he is appointed on the police force
about $50 to get started, and about $7e
q year for his police clothes. Now
gentlemen, give this matter thought
and don't say they are getting enough
because If you use some judgment anc
have got any kind of heart in yor
at all, you will appoint committee
to meet with the police commissioners
and adjust the salaries of the police
department and also will satisfy about
seventy-five or eighty per cent of the
citizens of Richmond.

An interesting chapter in the ex-
ceedinsly live-wire question Of wheth-
or the west side dump is to be trans
formed into q park site through bond
issue, was written last night. Council,
to borrow q poker expression, passed
the buck" of the question up to the
protesting board of public works,
which, the president, Mr.. Bavis, as
serts Is none of the boards business.
as the expenditure involves more than
$4,000.
A more exciting development in the
controversy Is expected next Friday
night at the meeting to be held by
the West Side Improvement associa-
ton for the election of new officers.
DR.. E. B. Grosvenor, the retiring pres
ident Of that organization. is unalter-
ably opposed to the project, and he
said today that he was expecting to
''get his" at this meeting. He also
said that there was as much opposition
to the project in West Richmond as
there was advocacy of it.
In report filed by the special coun
cilmanic investigating committee,
which was referred to the board "for
action. it is stated that the council
Is not in the least seeking to escape
responsibility in this matter" but that
council Is powerless to act until the in
itiative has been taken by the board.
The report lists number of proper
ties and houses which would have to
be purchased for park site, showing
that while their assessed valuation is
only $6,480, the price quoted for the
same is $22,500, as follows:
