There were no startling new reve-

Dozens of letters exchanged be-

relations and political harmony, were
offered for Barnes just before the

Council Decides to Enforce
Ordinance Providing for
Inspectors Watching Re-
pairs of Excavations.
WILL ENFORCE LAW
Inspectors Hired by Corpora
tions Give Poor Results,
Councilman Argues at the
Meeting Last Night.

Council last night decided to enforce
an ordinance passed a few weeks ago,
which provides for the employment of
inspectors to see that the public SER
vice corporations place streets in good
repair after making excavations.
The motion which was finally passed
was introduced by Councilman How
ellis. who complained that public
utility was digging three holes in
South Eleventh street, on which the
city spent $500 for new macadam last
year.
1t was recalled that employment of
inspectors was authorized in an ordi-
nance passed recently after the first
measure introduced had been killed
Immediately on the passage of the law
the corporations appeared before the
board and asked that they be permit
ted to employ inspectors themselves.
They were granted this privilege to
violate the law as City Attorney
Bond summed up the case. Still COM
plants are registered.
Easy to Find vioIators.
Mr.. Bond said the existing ordinance
was sufficiently strong and only need
ed enforcement and that the city en-
gineer's office kept a record of all
excavations, so it should not be hard
to place the responsibility.
Councilmen Burdsall and Carter said
the present system of having the in
spectors employed by the corporations
would not give the desired results All
Joined, however, in praising the work
which Councilman White has done as
inspector for the gas company. The
city once employed inspectors at thir-
ty-five cents on hour, whose salary
was met by the corporations, and who
produced results, said e. G.. McMahan.
After the system had been operative
for short time. the utilities were al
lowed to beg off.
Councilman O'Neal, Steinbrink,
Weishaupt and White opposed the res
olution. Steinbrink gave as his reason
that the same action had been taken
before and that it wouldn't do any
good to take it again, as nothing had
been done.

Weishaupt and Waterman
Claim Jitneys Pay No Rev
enue to City as Does Street
Car Company.
WHITE FOR COMPANY
Claims Corporation Pays
$4,000 in Wages, While
Competition Does Little to
Keep Money in City.

What is council going to do with
the jitney buses?
Council does not know, but did not
find out that 1t did not know until
after members had argued pro and
con for nearly an hour. Then the
ordinance committee was instructed to
take the different statements made by
the councilmen and the mayor and
use them as basis for some sort of
regulation.
Jitney bus operators were declared
by some councilmen to- be irrespon-
sible financially and were even charg-
ed with conducting 10y rides" In their
machines at night instead of operating
their cars along their routes and ac-
cording to announced schedules.
How Robbins Feels.
During the discussion the mayor re-
called the fight between the city and
the street car company over the snow
ordinance last winter; pointed out that
council was without a. law to control
the corporation next winter and then
charged that some members of coun-
Gil were catering to the utility now by
discrimination against the jitneys.
Councilman Waterman started the
dispute when he recommended that
the jitney proprietors carry insurance
on their passengers, stop fifty feet
from all corners, and carry no more
passengers than the capacity of their
cars. Councilman Russell said he
had heard that a colored woman had
been refused passage in one of the
buses, which he declared was against
the law.
Call Jitneys a Detriment.
That the jitney bus is a detriment
to the city is the opinion Of Alphonse
Weishaupt. He said the street car
company paid taxes and helps improve
the street, assuming certain obliga-
tions. He backed Waterman in his
statement that the jitneys were used
for Joy rides at night.
Everybody knocks the street car
company" said Councilman White. It
pays $4,000 in wages, he said, which
is spent in Richmond each year, while
one of the jitney operators lives in
Dayton and would spend his money
there. White declared that the street
car company has not taken a dollar out
Of Richmond in four years.
Then the mayor took part in the dis
cussion expressing his peevishness at
the corporation over the snow ordi-
nance and telling the councilmen that
ii they had held their peace and acted
as if they wanted to cater to the street
car company Richmond might have
had improved service, but that they
could not expect it after favoring the
utility.
Urges Delay.
He recommended that council wait
until after the public service CON-
mission had decided whether it had
the right to regulate the buses. Bond
said he believed council would have
the right to regulate the schedules and
routes of the lines.
The general sentiment, however,
seemed to be that the jitneys should
be placed under a bond, not too heavy
to prevent operation, and should oper-
ate along given routes and on regu-
lar schedules.
