TX not likely to be any building near

DC no more dangerous than the pres

are both much used. At present time

Hond the Belt Line arc compelled to

PHILHARMONIC PLANS
SERIES OF CONCERTS
Steady Improvement Is Shown In
Richmond's Best Known Instru.
mental Society.
BAKER IS AGAIN DIRECTOR
Not Intended as Making Or
ganizatiOn, but Gives Music Lovers
Chance to Hear Good Music at
Low Cost.

The eighth season OF the Richmond
Philharmonic Association, which will
be ushered In during the next few
weeks. gives promise In every way OF
being the most successful In the his
tory OF the association, and the music
rendered Will show much Improvement.
IL Is said over that OF last year, when
the four concerts given were conceded
to be the best ever rendered by the
organization.
The society at present comprises
about ffty-fve performers, well-drilIed
and rendering excellent music. The
coming season offers the most attrac-
tive programs yet to be rendered, and
the soloist. including vocalists, violin
lists and pianists. have been selected
from among the best of the local talent.
The Richmond Philharmonic Associa-
tion Is not and never has been
money-making organization. Its aim
is TO give the music lovers Of the city
a chance to hear really fine music at
a low cost
EACH YEAR HAS SEEN
IMPROVEMENT IN WORK
The beginning OF the association
was eleven years ago, when six or
seven musicians met at the invitation
OF the late K. A. Hoen for the purpose
of establishing a Choral and Orches-
trail Society OF Richmond. The choral
phase Of the organization did not ma
terialize, and for three years this small
band Of musicians played at the home
OF Mr.. Hoen for their own pleasure.
The interest grew into the organiza-
tion OF the Richmond Philharmonic As
ISOLATION, which gave Its first public
concert seven years ago. The desire
to develop orchestral music In the city
was firmly liked in the minds Of the
members, and each year saw much i'm
provement.
The orchestra as an educational
factor in the musical life OF the city
is not fully appreciated. To attend
Monday night rehearsal in the John
Marshall High School Auditorium is to
realize how valuable 20 the individual
player is the instruction and drilling
that come with orchestra work. To
the younger performers it gives con-
fdence and knowledge OF rhythm
and expression that is hard to obtain
elsewhere. while for tho more advanced
players II develops and refines their
technique remarkably.
Only those performers who are suf-
iiciently advanced are allowed to APP
pear in the concerts. Players who are
not far enough advanced to partici-
pate in the public concerts attend the
weekly rchearSals, and the executive
committee requires certain degree OF
proficiency before they are allowed to
appear in the concerts. The organiza-
ton is under the direction of w Henry
Baker.

Chairman EasleX, Of Chamber Com
mittee, Urges Prompt Action
by City.
WOULD NOT WAIT ON RAILROAD
Tired OF Do-Nothing Policy, Which
Has for Years Blocked Westward
Growth, and Which Finally Forced
Annexation Of Belt Line.

Immediate opening Of Monument Ave-
nue. across the tracks of the Belt Line
Railroad is strongly urged by the Cham
Der of Commerce committee on streets,
roads and parks. The Administrative
Board has already taken the matter up
and ordered preliminary surveys for a
temporary crossing at grade pending
the final solution of the crossing prob
lem, either by the erection Of a bridge
or byTdepressing the railroad tracks.
The only legal difficulty in the way.
It is stated, is the acquisition OF the
Forbes property at the head of Monu-
meht Avenue, and instructions have
already been given by the Council to
the city Attorney to proceed with con-
domination proceedings in the Hastings
Court Those interested In the proposed
improvement say that before January
all distractions will have been re-
moved and Richmond will have Il boule-
ward l40 feet wide and five and one-half

John G. Easley. chairman OF the

by the city of the Belt Line railroad
problem has been one of the most ur-

the old corporate limits. blocking the
westward extension OF avenues. and
the county was without powers Of

sessed The surveys of the annexed
territory have now progressed Mr.

Improvement should be made without

SCHOOL PRESIDENT
SPEAKS ON QUESTION

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 2S.-G. r. Glenn
president of the North Georgia Agricul-
trral college, in a statement just made
public, has called attention to the in
Justice from which the railroads of the
South and other sections of the coun-
try are suffering at the hands of the
postal department.
THE railroads have shown by the
submission of facts and figures" says
Mr.. Glenn in part, that their revenue
from handling the mail is much less
than the revenue they receive from any
Other class of business. They contend,
with apparent justice, that since the
introduction of the parcels post, they
have received relatively much less pay
for carrying the mails than before.
Thoughtful people all over our land
are drifting to the conclusion, that the
ultimate solution of the railway mail
pay problem lies in reference of the
whole matter to the interstate COM
nerce commission with complete
power to act. The problem is not po-
litical but economic.
"The interstate commerce commits
SION has already laid down princi-
pie that is absolutely ignored by the

our opinion each branch of the service
should contribute it's proper share of
the cost of operation and of return up

CITY COURT To TRY
GASOLINE VIOLATIONS

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 2S.-After a
conference between State Oil Inspec-
tor W. c.. Bryant, Attorney General
Clifford Walker and Solicitor Lowry
Arnold, of the city court of this county,
it has been decided by the state oil
department to bring all the prosecu-
tons for violation of the state gaso-
line act through Solicitor Lowry.
1t developed at this conference that
the numerous complaints which have
been filed are based not alone on the
iIferiority of the gasoline being sold
throughout the state and the exorbi-
| tant prices charged, but a number of
complaints charge short measure in
the sales. In respect to the last spec
itication it is charged that this is par
ticularly true of the automatic meas
uring tanks from which automobiles
are supplied; that the dealers change
| the gauges in such a manner that
where ten gallons of gasoline are paid
for, the purchaser in reality gets only
about nine gallons
Solicitor Arnold made his position
clear in the conference, in which he
said that as rapidly as the charges are
filed with him by DR.. Bryant they viii
be given immediate attention, and il
will be his purpose to vigorously push
the prosecution.
1t is expected that DR.. Stallings viii
have completed his report by Friday
and it is the purpose of the oil de
partment to turn the cases, between
thirty and fifty, 1t is understood, owe
to Solicitor Arnold Saturday morn
ing.
1t is understood that among the sam
Piles tested and which failed to com
within compliance with the law, ar
| many from Atlanta, Macon, Gaines
Vile, Athens, Savannah, Augusta AM
number of othtr points in the state
f In every instance, it is stated, cas-
, will be made out and presented to Sol
icitor Arnold, aid that this will appl
not only to those tests now being mad
e hy the oil department, but in all case
en- samples tested in future which fai
to test out properly. The same rul
= will apply, too, it is stated, in al
Y cases where proper brands are nc
displayed, as required by the state Law
: and especially will the law be vigoi
e ously enforced in cases of short meas
: urements. In brief, it is the determ
