Board Accepts Recommends

The financial campaign to raise $3,-

1915, will be conducted by the Y. M.
c. A., on April 21, % and %, announc-
ed Secretary Ellis M. Learner today.
The decision was reached at the meet

The financial committee submitted

$4,000, which is smaller than in previ-
Gus years, because the committee be-
lieved the necessary repairs would be
smaller than usual this year.
In recommending the financial cam
paign, the committee pointed out that
each year the regular receipts of the
association failed to meet the expen-
ses, and an annual deficit was incurr-
ed.
Hold Similar Canvasses.
Similar campaigns are held in many
other cities of the state, and in doing
this the committee hopes to be able
to close the year without having the
books show an overdraft. In connec-
tion with this campaign, subscribers
will be given chance to help in the
state work.

New President of Merchants

Late Last Summer.
MERCHANTS DISAGREE
Body May Place Ban on Ad-

grams of Church and

With the election Of w. M. Penny
as president of the Retail Merchants
section, came the announcement last
night that the section would meet ey.
cry month instead Of semi-annually.
Mr.. Penny announced Immediately
after he was elected that he would
call meeting in April. He asked the
members to think over the best plan
Of inaugurating a weekly half holiday
in all retail stores in the city.
This proposition will be taken up
at the next meeting. The Membership
is divided and fight is expected
Whatever the outcome is all members
will abide by it, Secretary Haas said
today.
Oppose Saturday Holiday.
A few favor closing on Wednesday
or Thursday afternoon. Others want
the stores to close at noon on Satur
day. Some object to this because the
farmers are usually in the city on Sat
urday and say if Saturday is the day
chosen, o'clock would be a better
hour for closing.
All of the biggest merchants in the
city are members Of the section. The
attendance last night was unusual. The
membership is almost filled, there be-
ing only eight more credit rating
books for sale. These books are sold

COMMITTEE REPORTS
]. w. Rethmeyer Says Works
Board FavOrs Purchase of
Land Along River as Play
ground Site.

That the board of works favored
the purchase of property lying along
the river bank, forming the eastern
boundary of the West Richmond
dump, out Of the special budget of
$1,000 set aside for the special pur-
pose of relieving the dump situation,
was the substance of the report sub.
mitted by the civic improvement COM
mittee of the West Richmond I'M
provement Association last night.
J. w. Rethmeyer, chairman of the
committee, reported that the commit
tee had met with the board of works,
and had received the assurance of its
members that every effort would be
made to purchase the property lying
between the two bridges. He said the
committee was not in favor Of the city
buying the property at the high price
asked by some holders, but that it had
urged the board to use condemnation
proceedings to secure some Of the
land. The committee recommended
in case the property was purchased,
that fresh dirt be pushed over the
edge Of the dump, and flowers and
vines planted over the bank to make
a natural beauty spot.
The association passed a formal
vote approving the action and recon.
mendations Of the committee.
Levi G. Peacock and Frank Wal
dele, were appointed to appear before
the school board and ask that the
board purchase certain lots east of
West First street, and next to Rich
mond Avenue, for a school play
ground. 1t was pointed out that the
westside had no provisions made for
public playground, and was not re-
ceiving equal privileges enjoyed by
other parts Of the city in this respect.
Resolutions were adopted favoring
immediate action by the city to abate
the dust nuisance, and offering the
support of the association to the An
ti-Tuberculosis Society in it's fight to
have the dust question settled. The
association also went on record as IA
voring the filling of the old National
Road gulley at its eastern terminus
near the west bank Of the river.

SICK TEACHERS
NOT ENTITLED
TO DRAW PAY

Letters from State Superintendent
Charles A. Greathouse and Gilbert
Hendren, president of the state board
of accounts, giving the legal authority
for withholding salary from teachers
who are sick, were read at the meet
ing of the Richmond Federation OF
School Teachers yesterday afternoon.
Over year ago the local school
board refused to pay teachers 20 per
cent of their salary when the were ab-
sent from class on account of sickness,
ruling that the state law would not
allow such practice. Learning that
teachers in other cities still received
this pay, local teachers inquired of the
state authorities to learn If such pay
ments were legal The letters read
yesterday showed that the local board
was observing the law, and that the
payment Of salary to teachers while
absent fom duty, was illegarl.
The school board having requested
that a committee from the Federation
be appointed to meet with them at
their board meetings, Miss Ada Wood
ward, Miss Anna Bradbury and Mr..
Ramsey were appointed on this COM
mittee.
Mr.. Steeley was appointed to fill the
vacancy on the nominating committee
caused by the resignation of Mr..
Tschaen.
Papers were read by Misses Emma
Newman, Carolyn Salter and Elizabeth
Foulke.
At the close of the meeting the mem
bers of the Federation went to the
high school dining rooms where lunch
con was served and then to the gym
nasium, where Mr. and Mrs. Nohr led
in frolic in which all the teachers
heartily took part. ~

SOCIETY
RECEIVES few
CALLS FOR AID
Rapid Decrease in Demands
for Charity Indicate I'm
provement in Local COndi-
tons, Members Believe.

Relief given by the Penny club dur
ing the first three weeks Of March has
decreased to less than fifty per cent of
the aid given in February, and Is less
than money expended to help the poor
in March, 1914.
This is an indication. officers Of the
club say, that local conditions are i'm
proving rapidly and that many men
are finding work sufficient to provide
for their families without assistance.
The decreased demand for relief is
shown most strikingly in items of gro
ceries and coal. In February $26 was
expended to buy groceries for INDECENT
poor. This month calls have necessi.
tated the expenditure of only $6. Eight
orders of coal were provided last
month, contrasted with appeals for
only one in March.
Men Find Employment.
Families are reporting that hus-
and that they will not need further as
sistance," said one Of the Penny clubs
officers today.
This Is taken as an indication Of
better conditions during the summer.
because March. 1914, was one OF the
heaviest months of the winter, al
though general conditions were not SO
depressing as during December. Janu.
ary and February. Relief for these
months was almost treble that given
during the corresponding months Of
last year.
The Penny clubs charitable work
will be light from now on until next
winter is the prediction of officials Of
the organization, who believe only q
few persons who are aided the year
round will be on the lists during the
summer.
