cordingiy Goes Over To Future

mittee yesterday afternoon adjourned
without date. Councilmen Butler. Sui
Ivan and Jones were the only MEM
bers of the committee able to be pres
ent. Aldermen Fuller and Gunst are
out of the city; Aldermen Powers and
Nielsen were busy, while Councilmen
English and Pollock were engaged in
legal matters.
A large number of East End citi-
Gems were on hand in the interests OF
the improvements to East Broad

way and Power Company were. pres

The company has modified plan
for the improvement of the street In
the East End. 1t proposes that the
city permit the removal of tracks on
Broad from Twenty-seventh Street to
Chimborazo Park, dtverting the cars
at Twenty-seventh Street to the Mar
shall Street line. The company will
then pave the street along this route.
II IL not known when the committee

He made 1t plain that he does not
believe in large standing army:
100000 men would be enough; small
army trained to a big knowledge. He
said we should have 100000 rines
ready in perfect order. even to being
creased, with armories ready to
manufacture 100 new firearms a
day: a large surplus stock OF ammu-
milton. and government-owned fac
tories ready to turn out 1000 tons OF
high explosives a month; 1000
trenching machines, and every other
mechanical device of war. The regu-
lar soldiers should be so trained that
in case or war they could quickly
teach the volunteers. He said:
II am the last man who would be
willing to. suggest parsimony In ex-
penditure upon coast and harbor de-
fense'
He advocated more and better guns
and an enormous number OF subma-
rines.

COMMITTEE SELECTS
SITE FOR NEGRO PARK


After viewing several possible sites
for a negro park. the subcommittee
on utiiities yesterday afternoon prac-
ticaIly agreed to recommend the sits
at Boyd. Harrison and Kinney Streets
overlooking Shockoe Valley. The
city owns portion of this property,
and it is believed the remainder may
be purchased at com paratively low
price.
Other sites viewed by the commit
tee appeared appalling because OF the
fact that they were closely built up
and would cost SO much money to
secure
The site as recommended by the
committee will give the colored resi-
tents a park similar to CANDLES Holl,
where rest, recreation and cool breezes
may be enjoyed.

Ing the value Of the work of this de-
pArtment.
Ahead Of other States.
IT and that instead of this bureau
having cause for regret. that II has
every reason to be proud Of its achieve
nnent. The showing Of Virginia is 90
far ahead Of any other State Of the
Union. that am sure II will cause
surprise. and congratulation on the
part Of those who are interested in
the welfare OF the bureau. Virginia
