roof and burned down the building.
Last of all a gang of boys, ranging
in age from twelve to sixteen. raided
the locker house, took bushel bas-

clubs and enough shoes and clothing
to outfit a second hand store. This
happened a few days ago. Saturday

and he promptly told who all the iu-
venile locker raiders were.
Today the following lads were
bound over to juvenile court on
charges of house breaking: Moses
Shores. Otto Schwab, William May,
Carl May and Millard Shores. Nearly
all of them had been caddies at the
club. The only excuse they offered
was that they wanted the thigs they
stole. Three Of the boys were permit
ted to- keep the shoes they had pilfered
as they were the only ones they had
to wear.
After the boys had been arrested the
police called at their homes and Sc.

were trousers and sweaters galore
piled in the chiefs office today.

to the plan pursued the past two years
OF having ST. let's oiled under public
contract because 30 many property
owners have refused to pay their as.
sessments. McMinn said he was not
only opposed to the public contract OIL
Ing plan but was also opposed to the
city doing the work itself at its own
expense. Streets oiled under private
contract or no oiling at all was the
policy he stood pat on.
Because Of the stand McMinn took
the board failed to act on the suggest
ion Of City Attorney Bond that an ordi-
nance be drafted for submission to
council providing that An appropria-
tion be made out of the general fund
for the oiling Of all streets not per-
manently improved by the street de-
partment. City Engineer Charles esti-
mated that inclusive of the purchase
price Of an oil sprinkling wagon the
total cost Of this work would be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
Mr.. Bavis first suggested that the
street department do this work and
assess the cost Of the oiling against
the benefited property owners, but
Mr.. Bond declared this would not be
permissible under the law.
III the city must bear the entire
cost Of such work I will favor such
an ordinance as Mr.. Bond suggests al.
though do not think 1t is just to COM
pei the city to shoulder the entire ex-
pense," Mr.. Bavis said.
With McMinn blocking what Is re-
garded as the only practical solution
Of the oiling question the board con-
kenteL itself with adopting a motion
10 have the city clerk write to street
bling contractors to ascertain whether
they contemplated doing any work in
Richmond tlis year under private con-
tracts.
h In the past contractors have been
reluctant to accept private street oil
ing contracts because of difficulties
Experienced in collecting payments
from property owners.
!, City officials, with the exception of
McMinn. realize that until street oil
Ing IS incorporated as one Of the func-
ions Of the street department the
dust nuisance Will constitute a serious
menace.
! One of the principal causes for the
-eopening Of the street oiling question
3oday was letter the board received
rom J. NJ. Lontz. a well known local
manufacturer. In part he says:
I'VE can eat our peck OF dirt, and
then another peck. But unless we can
breathe pure air to oxygenate the
blood we cannot preserve the body
wholesome.
Let us at least have air free from
|,ulververized animal excreta. Oiling
he streets destroys billions of tuber-
|.ulosis germs. Dusty streets propo-
)yate them by untold billions. Sun and
water and wind are the triple parents
F,f erosion. They wear our streets
away. Oil will arrest the action of all
hese.
sincerely believe that If the city
loes not supervise street oiling great
oss will be suffered in health and ef
|iciency, and that the city will suffer
Ii material loss in the rapid deteriora-
ion of the street. City oiling doubt
ess entails extra duties on officials,
but In the public interests should be
