Poor Proposition for City

At first sight it might appear that the prop
osition of the city's purchasing the property be-
longing to and at present occupied by the Dick
inson Trust company on South Eighth street for
$4,000, for municipal light plant office, is a
good one. The building, which is very excel
lent one, is centrally located with regard to the
business district for Richmond fortunately is
fast getting beyond the stage of being city
with but one business street instead of a mod
ern business district.
Closer analysis, however, of the suitability of
the building for the requirements expected of it
as the uptown office of the municipal light plant,
as well as of the future requirements of Rich
mond in the public building line reveal, we be-
lieve, many defects in the proposition.
In the first place, Richmond is beginning to
awaken to the fact that it's continued and steady
expansion is rapidly causing the present city
building from the standpoint Of space and To-
cation, to become Anticipated for the growing de-
nands of the city's business. In other words, it
is only question of few years until Richmond
will have to join other progressive cities of our
country in building new, business-ike, up-to-
date city hail. This being so, it would be far bet
ter to wait until the time is ripe for a new city
building before buying permanent location for
the municipal light plant office, because when
the time comes for the new city building, pro-
vision then could be made for devoting portion
of its space to be used the office of the city,
light plant.
It might be argued that the Dickinson Trust
company location would still be good purchase,
as answering the requirements of the city when
it came time to build new city hail. This, how
ever, hardly seems true the lot in question
would not be large enough and if this difficulty
were overcome by buying in adjoining property,
the city would have paid entirely too much for
what it had, owing to the necessity of scrapping
good building as is now there.
- Putting such considerations as have been

IL Is argued IN OehaI OF the prOpOSlIlOH tHdt
the city would save the $500 a month rent it is
now paying for it's present light plant office and
by investing an additional $4,000 in barn to
be erected on the rear Of the lot, it would save
an additional $4,000 month rent for stabling its
horses and mules. This reasoning, however, is
fallacious. The city would then have total
investment of $4,000 of the citizens money,
money which in the hands of the citizens earns
interest and pays taxes. 1nasmuch as the city
is but the collective name of all it's citizens this
proposition would simply be of the robbing Peter
to pay Paul class, as the citizens would be out
of pocket in income and the city, besides becom-
ing Spectator to the extent that it might not
be able to rent permanently the two upper floors,
would, with the township, county and state, lose
in taxes.
Besides, the present office quarters of the
municipal light plant appear to be sufficient for
all present and immediate future needs. There
fore, and in view Of the reasons stated above,
The Palladium gladly joins in upholding the
hands Of the mayor and the board of public
works in urging council to see this proposition in
it's true light and not encourage any further con-
sideration of it through giving it any further
attention. We feel sure those members in coun-
Gil who have been inclined towards favorable
consideration OF the propOSlt1On nave Deen
actuated by praiseworthy desire to save money
for the city and it's citizens. In our estimation
however, they have fallen into the same error
that so many business men make who believe
that ownership of property automatically caus-
es rent to pass out of existence. This is very
common mistake and is due to the lack of prop
er understanding of basic economic laws. Rent
is immutable and as such is always paid by the
occupant of a property, regardless of ownership,
or the occupants customers.

mentioned above aside, however, there are still
more reasons why this would be bad PROPOSE
tion for the city to enter into In the first place.
there are so many public improvements, such as
permanently paved streets and better sewer
system in the business district, where the ex-
penditure Of $4,000 would result in far more
benefit to the citizens of Richmond than It It
were used to buy this bank building. In the
second place, this building, as It's name indi-
Gates, was designed for banking purposes and
the mere presence therein of an expensive vault,
together with luxurious bank furniture, does not
mean that it would make efficient CHARTERS for
the municipal light plant office. The contrary
probably would be true, as such a proposition
smacks entirely too much of fathers trousers
handed down for sons knee breeches.
