Under the state law the date eggs

No dates Of receipt nor release ap-

REST ON ACTION
BY LEGISLATURE
Commercial Club and City
Agree to Let Proposed Or
namental System Rest Un.
til SOlOns Act.

Board of public works members and
members of the Commercial club COM
mittee on public improvements are
still marking time on the ornamental
system proposition pending
action of the legislature on bill which
provides the method of installing such
systems.
e. M. Haas, chairman of the public
committee of the Com
mercial club. said today that it was
his understanding that the bill pro-
vided that cities could assess benefit
ed properties half the cost of install
ing such systems If it so desired.
When it was first proposed to in
stall boulevard lamps the length Of
Main street and . -ection OF Fort
Wayne avenue and North e street, the
city axreed to .asssstna a. .ita ahAra oa
the cost the amount It would have had
to pay out IL ornamental lamps had
been attached to trolley poles and
served by over head wires. Under the
provisions of the pending bill the city
could make benefited property owners
pay much greater share of the cost
than at first proposed.
Both the Commercial club commit
tee and the board of public works
have agreed that no action be taken
on this question until some disposition
is made of the pending bill.
Mayor Robbins suggested today that
in his opinion. If ornamental lights
were to be installed 1t would be to the
city's advantage if it assumed the
whole Of the initial cost of installa
ton with the understanding that the
benefited property owners assume the
greater part of the cost of current sup
piled.

A revival of the Morris bank and
some other remedial loan company
plan will be asked the Commercial
club by Secretary Melpolder OF the
Central Charity bureau, who has con-
tinued his investigations into the loan
company business of Richmond.
Some damaging evidence has been
found which will be used to show
the need of q loan company operated
on a liberal plan. This kind OF a
loan company was Investigated by the
club but the matter was dropped. when
the financial stringency and the war
came on. .........,
The charity bureau practically Is
forced to resort to some measures OF
relief from loan companies. Mr.. Mel
polder said. :, He has had dealings
with persons who are being pressed
by loan companies and who Will pay
their income to the company and de.
pend on the charity bureau to pay
their living expenses.
The latest case is a woman who
borrowed SIS. paid $11.49 and still
owes a balance of $3.50. which will
amount to S12 before it is paid. This
woman received in cash from the loan
company $11.70. just twenty-one cents
more than she has paid. For SER
vices rendered" at $3 and thirty cents
for the first months interest resulted
in the SIS principal being reduced to
$11.70, before it was paid to the
woman.
.Of all the loan company cases
have before me-" Mr. Melpolder said
II know of only two or three of the
intelligent men who know what they
are paying for. The few women who
have loans to pay, pay absolutely
without knowledge of the cause Of the
extra charges and are terror stricken
at the approach of each payment day
