CIVIC COMMITTEE
MEETS OPPOSITION
Property Owners Object to
Proposed Identification
Of River Banks.
BANKS ARE UNSIGHTLY
Prof. Thompson Says Objec-
ton Arises From Neces-
sary Expenditure.

With hardly weeks work accom-
plished the civic Improvement commit
tee of the Commercial Club has found
that its ideas regarding the improve
mant Of the river banks and those Of
the property owners along the stream
differ widely The committee which
Is headed by John Mccarthy. has APP
pointed J. +. Thompson to make a
survey Of the river banks and then re-
port to the committee.
Although at this time Mr.. Thompson
has been unable to gather any definite
data regarding the proposed work, he
says many Of the property holders are
willing to make slight improvements.
but do not want to expend large sum
OF money on the cleaning up of the
banks
In some cases the banks are very
unsightly, overrun with thick under
brush and in many places the banks
have been used as a dumping ground,
where tin cans, ashes and rubbish
have been piled many feet high.
Work Handicapped.
We will be handicapped ir our
~OIA vi lib lilo DdhAS, 90 III
Mr.. Thompson because of the fact we
do not own the banks and secondly the
opposition to the expenditure of mon
ey to purchase them. "In FIT. Wayne
the banks for nine miles through the
city are owned by the city and are
consequently improved as the city de-
sires, but in Richmond the opposite is
found"
Plans are being made for a general
cleanup May 1. At a recent meeting
of the civic improv ement committee 1t
was decided to set apart that day that
everyone might join in the effort to
clean up Richmond.
1t is expected that business men,
property owners alike will join in this
city-wide clean up movement. At this
time the various civic organizations
will join hands to aid in the cleaning
up of Richmond.

BapiS Sees "JOkerS"
in Revised Gas Rules

"Tn fact 1t has three jokers in It, One
is the mo interest on deposit" feature.
Another is the fact that il man sur
renders service he could not secure
his deposit in the event he had lost
his receipt for the same. But the real
serious one is that If a man who has
not been required to make deposit
should happen to miss paying his bill
before the tenth of any month he could
be listed as delinquent and required
to post deposit or guarantee for con-
tinuance Of service"
The rule the company has been at
tempting to inforce provides that all
patrons of It's natural gas service, ex-
cept property owners, no matter how
long they have been patrons of the
company, be required to post deposits
or file guarantees.
Mr. Jessup, in speaking of the new
deposit rule proposed by him, said he
believed it to be perfectly lair both to
the public and the company, that it
was not discriminatory and would
hold good in any court.
Will Give Square Deal.
Mr.. Bavis of the board said he rec
ognized the justice of permitting the
L. H. & p ample authority to protect
itself from INSCRIPTIONS patrons, but
he did not believe the rule proposed
by Mr.. Jessup to be fair one. He
said there were many people who had
resided in Richmond for year or lon
ger who did not use natural gas ser
vice, but if they applied for it in the
event the proposed rule was approved,
would come under it's provisions.
Mr.. Jessup replied to this objection
by pointing out that the rule did not
provide that all new customers would
have to make deposits or guarantees
Only such new patrons as the com
pany believed it was taking risks in
providing service would be asked to
meet with the requirements of the
rule.
Never Refuse Service.
Mr.. Jessup took occasion to inform
| the board that the company had never
refused service to patrons who had re
fused to comply with the terms Of the
existing deposit rule. He laughingly
remarked that President Bavis was
one of the customers who had declined
to make a deposit or file a guarantee
! but the company decided not to refuse
service to him because it was believed
that was just what he wanted the
company to do.

Revised rules pertaining to the guar
antee Of natural gas service were sub
mtted to the board of public works
today, one rule drafted by City Attor-
ney Bond and the other by Wilfred
Jessup, counsel for the Richmond
Light, Heat & Power company.
Each of the proposed revised de-
post rules is less drastic than the
one the company has attempted to In
force, and which caused such a gener-
ell protest, but the board of works
showed a decided preference for the
rule suggested by the city attorney. In
fact President Bavis declares the Jes-
sup rule is full of ''jokers."
Discussion of the proposed rules
took up great part Of the board s
time at the session today, and was
continued this afternoon The board
probably will insist that the company
accept the rule proposed by the city
attorney, but it is not known whether
it will be acceptable to the company.
Mr.. Jessup however, said the COM
pany was anxious to reach an under
standing with the city on this ques-
ton, avoiding the necessity of having
the state commission rule upon it.
What Bond Suggests.
The deposit rule proposed by Mr..
Bond provides that applicants for nat
ural gas service who have not been
bona fide residents of the city for a
period of six months preceding the
date of filing application, and that all
users of natural gas who are now or
shall become delinquent in the pay
ments of their gas bills, may be re-
quired to make deposits on the fol-
lowing scales: Cooking and lighting
purposes, SO; each heating stove in a
house of not more than five rooms, So;
furnace in house Of not more than
six living rooms, IS; for furnace in a
house of more than six living rooms,
$40.
The rule proposed by Mr.. Jessup
reads:
THE Light, Heat & Power company
reserves the right to require reason
ably safe guarantee or a cash deposit
sufficient to meet the estimated cost
for gas or other service rendered for
the term Of six weeks. Such deposit
shall in no case be less than IS, and
will be refunded when the service has
been discontinued, all bids paid and
upon the surrender OF the receipt
thereof. No interest will be paid upon
deposits No guarantee or deposit will
be required of customers who have
met all payments when due for a term
of one year"
Jessup Rule Unsatisfactory.
THAT rule is not at all SatiSfac-
tory" said Mr.. Bavis this afternoon

FILE REPORTS OR
TAKE CONSEQUENCE

"All men whose incomes from
March /, 1918 to January /, 1914, have
been $4,000 or more, from all sources,
must not think they can escape the
provisions of the federal income tax
law" said J. H. Hayworth, a deputy
internal revenue collector, who was in
the city today They must file their
reports with the federal government
or take the consequences. Dividends
received from banks and corporation
stock are not taken into consideration
in the application Of the income tax
law, but incomes from such stock must
be listed, nevertheless.
Blanks for filing income reports
may be secured from the collector of
internal revenue at indianapolis.
