90 City.

How changing conditions can rapid
ly and radically upset values, de-
preciate securities. discourage needed
enterprise and entail loss on in'
vestors has never been more clearly
demonstrated than the change in the
business prospects of the Virginia
Railway and Power Company in Rich
mond by the advent of the jitn"y.
No unpreiudiced person would gam
say the fact that the street railway
company has furnished and is fur
nishing generally a model and modern
service While Richmond people
generally are not. united On the ad-
visa bility OF granting The company all
it asked by any means in the pro-
posed blanket franchise, 1t has beer
the source of some degree of local
pride that the city's street railway
system compared most favorably with
service rendered in any other city III
America.
In a statement made yesterday
President Wheelwright, of the Vtr-
ginia Railway and Power Company,
Indicated that the jitneys were now
making inroads of about $500 DAY
on the company's revenue. the actual
loss In receipts in May due 70 the Ut
ney invasion having been $4,000.
Due to this fact, the uncertainties
of the jitney situation. and the fail
ure to make progress relative to fran
chise matters. the company has &C.
cided to defer the construction OF the
proposed extension on West Broad
Street from Robinson to the corpor-
ate limits.
Mr.. Wheelwright declared that the
competition Of the l.tney was unfa't
IN that they were under no restraint
or restriction, may start when they
please and quit when they get READY
may furnish service when the sun
shines and stop when 1t doesn't, while
the street car must operate under all
circumstances and conditions.
The construction. of the proposed
extension on West Broad Street q
much desired by citizens living in tha'
section, some of whom are empnatic
in their complaint against the COM
pauy for failure to construct the line.
Under the franchise granted the COM
pany the new line was to have been
completed in twenty-three months
from the passage of the ordinance
The ordinance was passed july I'll
1sf3. ard the time expired MONDAY
The territory which the line was
tn connect is in the immediate west
ern growth Of the city. and is one oil
the most rapidly developing sections
of the West End. and as conse-
ouence is becoming more populated
ali the time. This fact alone, 1t Is
said by some of the residents. would
make 1t advantageous to the street
car company to construct the pro-
posed line.
Rather than proceed under exist
ing conditions. the street railway COM
pany prefers to forfeit the $5,Oou
bond put up when the franchise 70

Dear Sir:
Relative to the statement made by
Of1cer s. r. Goldsby several days
ago In the Police Court that the con-
ditions in the former segregated dis
trict were as bad as before that dis
trict was abolished. would state that
/ have personally made a searching
and inspection of this
section for the last Ave days and
nights, and find there is nothing to
bear out HIS assertion.
During that time. I have not seen
a single man enter any OF these
houses. and the order on Mayo Street
lie as good as that of any street in the
city
On several occasions I have seen
autos drive up and take one or more
occupants Of these houses away.
Four OF the women on This street
own the houses they occupy. and. OF
these. two are married and live with
their husbands. There are forty-one
houses on this thoroughfare, and. Of
that number. twenty are unoccupied.

ON MOSQUITO PEST
Urges Administrative Board To Take
Action on Standing Water
In Suburbs.

DR.. e. C. Levy. chief health officer
for Richmond. yesterday warned the
Administrative Board that millions Of
mosquitoes were about to alight upon
local humanity from ponds in Ginter
Park and elsewhere. The board d.
rected Parkkeeper Calder to at once
look into the matter and carry out
any suggestion which DIR. Levy might
make concerning the best method by
which to get rid of the mosquitoes.
DIR. Levy also suggests to citizens
generally that all open pools, or water
cans. or puddies. be eliminated, thus
eliminating the mosquito pest.
The board yesterday received the
resignation of s. A. Goodwin, newly
elected interne at Virginia Hospital.
Commissioner Hirschberg asked the
board to decline to accept the resigna-
ton, and to report the matter to the
executive committee of the Medical
College.
Misses Pearl Foster, Beatrice Clay
and Elizabeth Culp were elected mem
bers Of the nurses training school
connected with the Virginia Hospitai
and the City Home.
The contract for fresh meat for the
City Home and virgini,. Hospital was
awarded j. J. Gravins, the lowest
bidder.
Upon request of the Finance Com
mittee the board directed City En-
gineer Boiling and Superintendent
Davis to look into the question OF ac-
auisition of the Wooutand Heights
water and sewer system, and to report
back in time to have the matter dis
cussed at the meeting of the commit
tee on June %.
In reference to the purchase OF the
electric stations of the Virginia Rail-
way and Power Company in the
Northside. Superintendent Tranord
recomm ended to the board yesterday
that the purchase be made, as II Will
save the city much money. The city
now pays s6.424.92 per annum Tor
the use of the service, and the COM
pany is willing TO part with the same
at s6,3o314. :,
The operating expenses win be
about $4,000 a year, and the rent OF
poles will amount to s771 per annum.
The proposition will be further con-
sidered by the board. and 1t is likely
that the Finance Committee viii be
asked to appropriate a sufficient sum
for the purchase.
