Horror piled upon horror; women

frantically at an unseen enemy: the
destruction of great and ancient cities,
the burning of homes; the dead on the
battle field in terrible attitudes; the

shown in the Belgian War Pictures
which are to be seen at the Murray

Whatever one may have read about
the fierceness And cruelty of the war

conjured up in ones minds eye as a

adequately portray all the horrors of

has in watching them is pity over the
terrible waste, the sacrifice of life :;
regret for the ruined homes, sorrow
for the pitiful little orphans. These
pictures are so grimly realistic that
they carry the warrant of their
authenticity on their face; all who see
them will find. in the days to come,

.HOOGIN GETS MORE
FEES THAN SALARY
DURING FIRST YEAR
Building Inspector Makes
Office Self-sustaining by
Efficient WOrk-Club May
Ask Insurance.

Harry Hodgin, who efficiently pre-
sides over the most useful municipal
office created in recent years, city
building inspector. being the first to
fill it, had up to the first of December
collected more fees than his salary for
the entire year. Hodgin's salary is
81 900 per annum.
For the first eleven months the fees
he has collected have amounted to
$1,0578O. At the end of the year the
receipts of his office will probably be
close to $1,000 as a permit for one
large building which will net fee of
about 500 is anticipated this month.
There will also be a number of small
er fees so the total receipts may ex-
ceed $1,000.
BY his work this year Hodgin has
satisfactorily proved that the office
Of building inspector. through the fee
system of the building code, can be
conducted without any expense to the
city. The work he has done has also
shown conclusively that the salary Of
the building inspector is inadequate.
To Recommend Raise.
Hodgin has made no complaint. how
ever, and has asked for no increase
in salary but it is understood that the
Commercial club directors cOntem-
plate urging council to increase the
salary of the building inspector from
$1,000 to $1,000 at the first council
meeting in January. The building
code, which created the office of
building inspector, was drafted by
Commercial club committee and the
local trade organization is apprecia-
tive Of the excellent work done by
Hodgin the first year Of his incum-
bency.
The year now drawing to close has
not been featured by much building
activities in Richmond but notwith-
standing such conditions the office of
building inspector has been more than
self-sustaining and the benefits de-
rived out of all proportion to the sal
ary paid the inspector, Commercial
club officers agree. Even with the
salary of the inspector increased to
$500 per annum they believe the
office will continue to be self sustain
ing, because next year it is believed
building conditions will once more ap-
proach normal.

for November, issued today, follows:
