Reports Of city department chiefs
ut the cabinet meeting held in the
council chamber last night were re-
ceived with interest President Bavis
of the board Of public works said that
hurled against the Main street ice
jam today.
Travel over this street for the past
two weeks has been extremely diff
cult because of the deep ice ruts and
ridges. Mr.. Bavis said enough men
would be hired to clear the street and
1t would be true economy to employ
twenty-five Or thirty.
In the report of the board of public
works the difficulties encountered in
keeping the streets and alleys open,
and ashes and garbage removed regu-
Larry for two or three weeks was re-
viewed. Conditions have been abnor-
NAL during that period and the entire
working force of the street depart
ment had to be employed on street
work. It is now possible to remove
refuse in more or less satisfactory
manner.
Labor Cost Less.
Street Commissioner Knollenberg
showed in his report that while it has
year from the first of the year to Feb
roary %, than during the same period
last year the cost of labor was $775.12
less. Cost Of labor for the first two
months this year was $2,1S9.O0, the
first two months last year, $2.964.12.
Mr.. Bavis reported the necessity of
purchasing a street flusher. He said
the first year a flusher was used it
would save the city ST. 800 or $500 in
excess OF it's cost City Attorney Bond
and other officials urged an appropri-
alton for q flusher Both Knollenberg
was entirely too expensive to use fire
hose for street cleaning because hose
dragged about streets wears out very
quickly.
The board of works also reported
last night excellent cooperation be-
tween all departments, the 1nsuring
ment between the plant and the Light
Heat and Power company and the set
Element of the deposit rule contro-
versy with the latter company.
Building Inspector Harry Hodgin
reported issuing 10 building permits
in February, fees totaling 1884; one
moving permit, fee So; one heating
permit, fee so cents; eight wiring per
mits, fee $3.50.
He reported investigating 13 fires

The Issue of the Saloon

One may expect the advocates of the saloon to make
sordd plea that it is needed to furnish the and that
the public appetite demands such institution But
there Richmond who believes that taking
the homes of city after the other they win be bet
off and happier because of the continued existence
saloon Who there who believes dry goods stores
the grocery stores, the shops the furniture stores
and all the other industries of the city will be helped and
that they will have chance at larger with
of peoples going annually into the saloons of tho
city? Is there in the city who believes that
schools better off with the children thousand FAINT
lies having to clothing and having to
quality of food and less of because the money
the family into saloon every day in the year?
there real estate in Richmond whose business bet
ter off, who sells real estate who finds
ect property rentals because of the peoples
than wasted in the saloons of the city? Does
body believe that interest of the city is better off by
the existence of the liquor traffic except the saloon tn
brewery and the brohe and they who prey upon mans
pidity and pander to mans lower nature?
These of the questions which the voters of
Richmond will when they go to the polls March
oath and cast their ballots against the continuance of the
saloon system of our city.

ARE THEY REAL CRIMINALS?

who has cndcavored to cnlieht
en- the people of this community
OF the condition of affairs that
exist at this place since he
election which was held on
Feb. 5th, and the imaginary il.
legal actions taken in the mat
ter by Mayor Upton and Clerk
Lewis. Anyone who will read
the article will at once con
meet the author of the article
as one who is generally credit.
cd with an affection of the
brain and writes from the dis.
torted images of his brain and
failed in a single sentence to
conhnc hsnself to the truth.
1t is too bad the fellow is thus
afflicted
But the strange part OF the
affair is that the editor of the
Headlight, who is credited as
being an able man and capable
of Judging news matter, would
give an article of this nature
space in his paper when he
knew or could easily have
learned that the most of the
article was untrue and of a seri.
Gus enough nature to make
him liable under the libel Law.
The election laws of the
state are very strict and if any
of the crimes charged were
committed those who commit
ted the crimes are liable to ;
heavy fine. But this feature
of the affair is being given bu.
lirtIe thought as the people o.

injunction Holds Against Trespassers
on Reelfoot Property.
Union City-The Reelfoot Lake liti-
cation has again come to the front
in an injunction suit filed by j. c. Bur
dick, lessee of the West Tennessee
Land Company Mr. Burdick had a
ten-year lease on the lake and in the
proceedings some time ago the state
had the property condemned. Mr.. Bur
dick was not made a party and his
rights were not affected by the pro-
ceedings. The Injunction instituted
by him in chancery court was against
a number of trespassers on the leased
premises The state, through its at
torneys, Messrs. Barr and Puryear,
filed a motion before Chancellor Nc
Kinney to dissolve the Injunction,
principally on the grounds that the
Burdick lease was not properly ac-
knowledged and was improperly ad.
mitted to registration so that the state
could not have no notice of the ex-
istence of the lease contract, except
by proper registration. The motion
was heard at chambers at Ripley,
Tenn, before Chancellor Mckinney.
Hugh Barr of Nashville and d. B. Pur-
year of the Memphis bar represented
the state. Waddell & Waddell and
Lanom & Standfield represented the
lessee. The chancellor disallowed the
motion and in effect held that the
Burdick lease was good for the I'M
expired term Of three years. This rul-
ing will probably cause the state to
have the lease interest condemned and
pay whatever damages the jury may
allow as the value which would, no
doubt, be the best way of getting out
Of trouble, as it is conceded that Mr..
Burdick has valuable interests In the
property.
