Poor City Business Policy

The action of Messrs Maratt and McMinn,
the majority of the board of public works, in
overriding President Bavis' objection to voting
to reduce the municipal light plants insurance
from SOC, 900 to $4,000, marks the Inauguration
of very dangerous business policy on the part
of the administration. Both of the gentlemen
first named as private citizens for years worked
for manufacturing plants in this city whose man.
ayers heavily insured them. This not only af-
forded protection to the interests of the stock
holders therein but, by providing for the instant
creation of sufficient fund to rebuild in the
event of disastrous fires, also minimized the
duration of possible unemployment for their
working forces. This is sound business policy
and is pursued by every well-managed manufac-
turing plant or business institution in the entire
country.
In the particular of our municipal light
plant, it's stockholders are the citizens of Rich
mond. Their collective credit as we'll as their
direct payment of money as taxpayers and as
contributors to the plants profits as electricity
consumers, has made possible the city's owning
such plant. Messrs. Marlatt and McMinn, as
co-managers of this citizens plant, as we'll as CO.
employers of the men working therein should
feel constrained to give these interests solemn
ly entrusted to their care the same degree of
accorded up to only short time ago.
1t is always praiseworthy for managers to re-
duce legitimatey all expenses or fixed charges
possible. In reducing insurance charges, many
managers today are taking advantage of the
wonderful saving in this item made possible
through the installation in their plants of auto
matte sprinkler systems. "A well-known manu-
featuring concern of this city, the Swayne- Rob-
inson Company, where Mr.. McMinn formerly
worked, has been thoroughly protected in this
manner and, without reducing the amount of
insurance it always carried, has made a notable
saving through reduction in it's premium rate
1t is not too late for Messrs. Marlatt and Nc
MINI to join with President Bavs in investi-
eating the savings possible in light plant charges
through the installation of the automatic sprink-
Ter system. Until they do this, however, they
should restore the old amount of insurance to
the plant so that the city shall be as thoroughly
and efficiently protected in this regard though
it were private corporation.
The city's light plant may never burn. 1t is
human nature to think generally that it is the
other fellows plant that is going to burn. The
unexpected, however, may happen and if it does,
even $4,000 will not begin to cover the city
loss. Besides the value of the property actually
destroyed and the additional cost of rebuilding

ably is still competent to pitch. he has
about tired OF every feature of the
game. Bill has plenty Of the world
goods, and he probably will retire to
his farm at Bond Hill, Ohio.
There is quite howl going up be-
cause Johnny Evers was suspended for
three days, when many believe he ought
to have had a longer term. President
Tener Is charged with being too leni-
emit for the purpose of keeping the race
at fever heat SO that his league may
come out on top financially this season.
Evers has an alibi. He says the hot
weather affected him and that he really
was not responsible for his recent ac-
ton in Pittsburgh, an affair which
came near melting q riot at the ball
park.
Rowdyism must cease on the ball
field. The game IL in too precarious a
state right now to be further jeopar-

ed players. who would fight every time
decision goes against them. Base
ball was on the verge Of being ruined
some years ago because Of the rowdy-
ism OF the players. and 1t 10 the duty
OF those in charge Of the league to see
to 1t that the players follow the
straight and narrow path during games.
Nothing has ever been gained by ridicu-
lous kicking on umpires decisions.
even though they occasionally err, and
nothing but harm comes from 1t when
players are put out Of the game and
suspended.

Springs, where he was resuscitated and
organized a rescue party. The rescuers
found Roche unconscious and Welsh
dead. Roche said they drank lubricat-

The hurried rush to the front by the
Braves will have to be postponed for
time at least Stallings' team is not
going any too well. and the absence Of
Evers from the lineup surely does not
help its chances. Brooklyn. too, is get
ting regular setbacks when it ought
TO be winning. for it is generally con-
coded to be the best balanced team in
the race. But 1t is having slump
that may prove disastrous if it is not
broken soon.
Brooklyn and Baltimore are bringing

struggle. Both of these clubs are like

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

The attention of any manager de-
string TO organize a new and high
power wrecking crew is called to the
actions with the bat of Messrs. Slim
. Caldwell and Babe Ruth.
Fielder Jones' opinion Of the major
league clubs Of st. Louis Is this: The
Browns are a better group Of ball play
we'll managed.
The permission given the Western
Canada League to hold claim to its
players for year though the league is
not in operation has been profitable to
several Of the clubs. Edmonston had
an arrangement by which it was to
get half the purchase price In case
outhelder Ken Williams was sold by
Spokane. and as Cincinnati pays $4,000
for him, Edmonston nets $4,000. Re-
gina had a similar arrangement con-
corning Jack Smith and shares $3.50
with Seattle in the deal with the st.
Louis Cardinals.
Fans in Manhattan root three ways:
For the Giants to win the National
League pennant. for the Yanks to win
the American League pennant, and for
the Brooklyns to win the National
League pennant II the Giants can't.
The plucky spurts of the Giants lately
have evoked more spontaneous roofing
than at any time last year, when the
team was supposed to be pennant
winner and wasn't. With less expect
ed of the Giants this year, they are
hustling better right now and their
efforts are appreciated.
There's no telling what a day will
bring forth in base ball. One week
Tener declares that John Evers is a
credit to the game, and the next week
one of Tener's umpires smashes John
in the neck.
Five years ago it was predicted that
Ty Cobb could never continue the pace
and would wear himself out. Cobb's
lawyers will now apply to Judge Lands
to have this line stricken out.
President Gaffney of the Braves says
that Bill James, who is piling up q
skinny lot of wins this season, is
