Members of the board of public
works were somewhat surprised at the
council meeting Monday night to learn
that most of the members of council
were not in close touch with city af-
fairs, especially public improvements,
SO today President Bavis of the board,
compiled a list of all improvements
ordered or brought up before the
board for consideration since the first
of the year. He mailed a copy, to-
gether with an explanatory letter, to
each councilman.
This list shows that two improve
ments, one costing the city $4,000 and
one costing s400, have been com
pleted to date, and that fourteen other
improvement contracts, which will
cost the city all told, $S,7O0, have been
let.
1t is also shown in this list that
four other improvement contracts.
which will cost the city $1,000, will
be let this month.
Deferred improvements.
Six important improvements have
been proposed but the board has de-
fcrred action on them. If ordered
made they would cost the city $685.

who are able to partially support
themselves but cannot earn enough to
pay all bills. 1t is estimated that
twelve times as many persons were
given support in the first quarter of
this year, than in other years.
Hopes to Reduce.
Trustee Howarth expects to reduce
his poor account to about $500, as
normal conditions are almost re-
stored. OF the $4,000 disposed of,
$500 went for coal, and $500 was used
to keep the children of the INDECENT

In six months, in Richmond and
Wayne township alone, $3,7O8.32 has
been spent for poor relief, undoubtedly
the record, Mr.. Howarth asserts.
In other townships the poor relief
expenditures were about average and

Freeze Strikes Richmond
Wave Extreme in Kansas
and Western States.

Hopes that Easter Sunday would be
fitting occasion on which to dis
play new clothes received a crushing
blow today when Richmond women
arose and found the temperature had
dropped to the freezing point over
night, that the ground was frozen and
dull threatening clouds covered the
sky. The mercury fell from SO de-
grees yesterday to 80 degrees today.
After the warm rains and the bright
days of the first week of the month
and the last few days of March, the
return of cold was not welcome. East
er toggery today made the hearts of
owners leaden. as they wondered if
the perverse weather man would give
rains for the coming out day.
