To the board of works was referred

they now have.

the numbers could be seen from alleys

numbered correctly before the new
ordinance became operative. He said

INSPECTOR
| BILL THROWN BACK
| TO COMMITTED
Majority of Council Opposes
Creation of New Office,
Holding Present Ordi-
nanc Is Enough.

Council meeting last evening was
featured by q lively discussion of the
ordinance creating the office of street
inspector and specifying the method to
be pursued In the repairing of streets.
A vigorous fight against the creation
of a new office was led by Councilman
Steinbrink, who had the support of
the mayor. On a vote to strike out
the section providing for an inspector
eight voted aye and three no, but it
was lost because a unanimous vote is
required. A resolution to refer the
measure back to committee was then
adopted.
Those against the creation of new
office contended that one of the mem.
bers of the board of public works
could fulfill such duties but Council
man Howells, father of the ordinance
sharply remarked that up to the pres
ent time no board member had super
vised the repairing of streets torn up
by corporations and he chose to judge
future actions of the board by it's past
actions.
There are several councilmen who
think the proposed ordinance unneces.
sary, asserting the one now operative
is broad enough to insure thorough
care of the streets If properly enforc.
ed, even giving the board authority to
appoint inspectors when it sees fit
1t also requires corporations to have
all repairs properly rolled, which sec.
ton has never been enforced.
Although the mayor had announced
his disapproval of the measure City
Attorney Bond advocated the creation
J of the new office.
If the ordinance Is reported out
again it probably will provide that in
spectors may be appointed by the
board to supervise repair work, their
salaries to be paid by the corporations
affected.

|WAYNE'S PRODUCTS
WINNERS At FAIR
Poultry Men and Hog Breed
ers Get Awards in State
Competition.

Few Wayne county farmers had the
courage to enter livestock or other
farm products at the state fair this
year. The few who did make entries
were rewarded for their efforts.
The greatest honor carried off by
Wayne county was the performance
of the Cambridge City horse, F. A. L.
trained by Curt Gosnell. Winning the
2:15 trot, and placing second in the
2:17 trot later in the week marks this
animal as a consistent performer.
F. M. Clevenger, Centerville, won a
fourth ribbon on one of his percheron
mares. Miller and Dagler, the we'll
known Hampshire hog breeders, east
of the city, pulled down one of the
special prizes offered by the Hamp-
shire Swine Breeders Association, on
a pen of four pigs. L. S. Gay, who
lives on the National Road east of
Richmond, won several prizes on his
Rhode Island Red chickens. Mr.. Gay
has had good success with his birds
wherever shown.

SCRATCH OF Chicks
! BOTHER TO COUNCIL
Weishaupt Opposes Ordi-
nance Forcing Residents to
Keep Poultry Penned Up.

The work of codification of city ordi-
nances was launched last night at
council by the introduction Of one OF
the city's oldest ordinances for amend
ment. This measure provides against
certain domestic animals and fowls
running at large. Two members OF
the ordinance committee, Weishaupt
and Waterman protested over new
amendment written into the measure
which prohibits chickens from wander
ing about to their hearts content.
Asked why, If opposed to such re-
striction, they had written 1t into the
ordinance both explained that they
had not done so; that the city attor-
ney had taken this action without 1t
having been passed upon by the COM
mittee.
Weishaupt said it was unjust to re-
quire people to keep their chickens
penned up, whereupon Waidele said 1t
was unequally unjust to people own
ing gardens to have their neighbors
chickens picking and scratching about
on them. The amended ordinance was
permitted to take it's regular course.

CLUB SEEKS BLOCK
TO BECOME MODEL
Wants Residents to Adopt
Uniform System of Set
ting Shade Trees.

The task of bringing about a model
residence block centrally located in
Richmond, and that of inducing citi-
street from South e to North e street,
provement committee of the Comemr-
cial club, it was announced last night
by John F. Mccarthy. the chairman.
The committee hopes some day to
have the residents Of a street remove
all the old trees and plant new ones
of the same species the same dis
lance apart for the full length of the
street.
To do this, the committee will first
pick out street where many of the
trees now standing are in poor con-
dition. These trees would be removed
and the property owners or residents
given the lumber. The space between
the sidewalk and the gutter would
be leveled if leveling were required,
and trees of about the same size
planted at even distances on both
sides of the street.
The committee members declare that
the result in ten years would be be-
yond the imagination of the clubmem-
bers. The purpose of experimenting
with the plan is the hope that some
time residents all over the city will
get together and adopt some species
OF tree for every street, thus having a
variety of trees in the city. The com
mittee will also pursue it's plan of hav-
ing alleys abandoned as alleys and
make them cement driveways.
