ENGINEER BEGINS
|. H. P. PLANS
Corporation Proposes to
Spend SIPS, 900 of $15O,000
For New Addition.

Chief Engineer Esterada of the
United Gas and Electric company be-
gan figuring today for additions to the
Light, Heat and Power company. He
arrived late yesterday and Immediate
ly began taking measurements for the
new building.
The corporation engineer will not
make a report to the local plant but
will file his plans directly with the
high officials at the New York offices
for approval.
The amount of money to be spent
is not known, but it is estimated that
between $125,000 and $4,000 will be
put into the extended producing plant.
This includes the big new stack which
is planned.
No word is expected from the report
for the next thirty days at least and
it probably will take longer before the
plans reach the engineering depart
ment and high officials for approval
and bids are asked on the construct
ion and machinery.
The new plant is expected to be In
operation by June, 1916.

MINSTREL DISPENSES
WITH BIG ELEPHANT
Hay Costs Too Much for Elks
to Exhibit Beast in Pa
rade.

There will be no elephant in the
Elks' minstrel parade next Thursday.
This positive declaration was made
today by Demas Coe, chairman OF the
elephant committee.
"A circus has kindly offered to do
nate the lodge the services of an ele-
plant for two days without charge,
providing the lodge assumes all ex-
penses Of bringing him here and car
ing for him while guest OF the
LODGE said Mr.. Coe. THE PROPOSE
ton looked good until we analysed
the expenses which would be incurred.
ITO bring the elephant here and
ship him back would cost $75; then
we would have to pay his keeper S. or
81, and, If not too hungry, he would
devour two tons of hay while In our
midst, said hay selling for $18 ton.
The committee has decided the sue
cess of the minstrel show does not de-
pend upon an elephant participating in
the parade"

against competitors in neighborine
cities we would have to ship to these
markets bread which would sell for
five cents. We could not sell full
weight bread so that our customers in
these little towns could offer it to
their trade for five cents, and If they
asked six cents a loaf for our full
weight loaf there would be no demand
for it, because the trade would buy
the five cents loaf Dayton, Muncie,
New Castle and Indianapolis bread.
Therefore, if we kept our out of
town business we would have to man.
ufacture bread at weights which
could be retailed for five cents, exclu-
sive of the full weight bread manufac-
tured for sale in Richmond. This
would greatly increase our overhead
expenses and would badly cripple us,
for with flour at its present price
there is very little profit in our bust
ness.

Unexpected opposition to the pro-
posed Improvement of Southwest Sew
enth street from Main street to Ma
tional Road developed when the reso-
luton for making a concrete roadway
on that street came up for hearing to-
day. Several property owners opposed
its adoption. The board supposed the
property owners all wanted the street
permanently improved as no remon-
STRANGE had been filed. The objecting
property owners were informed that
they would have ten days to enter a
remonstrance. The board has under
consideration proposal to modify the
resolution to provide rs foot instead
of 80 foot roadway. This will be
considered at the board meeting next
Monday.
A resolution for making a cement
roadway on and locating a new sewer

This alley is between two
unimproved streets and the board did
not believe the improvement neces-
sary. Only one property owner urged
the ordering of the improvement.
The board ordered the grading down
of the alley between South Seventh

within two hundred feet Of South E
street, cement roadway and sewer
This improvement has been pending
before the board for several weeks
and has been vigorously opposed.

BAKERS RESIST
EFFORT TO FIX
BREAD WEIGHT
Declare Regulation Of Sizes
by Ordinance Unfair as
They Try Maintain Stand
ard Price.

Declaring the ordinance introduced
in council last Monday night. prescrib'
ing standard weights for loaves Of
bread offered for sale in this city, to
be manifestly unfair, Richmond bakers
have organized to fight the passage of
the measure.
Under the provisions OF this ordi-
nance the so-called small loaf of
bread would have to weigh, freshly
baked, 16 ounces, and the large loaf
% ounces.
City Inspector Of Weights and Meas
ures Mckinley has approved the pro-
visions of this ordinance, asserting
that it is as important to provide
standard weights for bread as it Is for
any other commodity.
Order by Pound.
when you order a pound Of sugar,
for instance, you get a pound" Nc
Kinley explained, "but when you order
a loaf Of bread you do not know
whether you get a loaf weighing 16
ounces or one weighing Il, Is or IA
ounces.
There is standard price for a
small loaf of bread, five cents, and we
bakers seek to maintain this standard
price rather than a standard weight"
John Zwissler, a local baker, said TO-
day. with flour at normal prices the
full sized loaf is manufactured. When
the flour market is abn2-mally high,
as it now Is, a slight reduction in the
w.isht of the loaf is Llads rather than
increase the price per loaf.
"At this time the average weight
of freshly baked loaf is thirteen
ounces. The same size pans are used
for baking these loaves and the same
number OF slices can be cut from them
and our patrons do not complain. On
the other hand If we continued to
make full weight loaves and charge
six cents per loaf, as we would have
to do or manufacture at loss, there
would be a general protest. In New
York recently an attempt was made to
charge six cents per loaf but it was
not very long before the bakers drop
ped back to the smaller loaf at the
usual price, five cents"
Affects Export Trade.
Zone of the principal objections we
bakers have to the proposed ordinance
is the fact that it's enforcement would
seriously effect our out of town trade
