McCARTIiY MAKES APT
QUOTATION FROM BIBLE
AS we have listened patiently to n
long essay by Mr. Evans on the dis
abilities OF the city gas plant and the
benefits that would follow It's lease TO
his company, desire to read you now
short passage from n book that was
written more than 1000 years before
the company applying for the lease eX-
istcd.'
With this no lifted from his desk
a pondcrous black Bible and read from
it the fourteenth verse OF the twenty
first chapter OF Proverbs:
1T is naught. it Is naught. saith tho
buyer but when he Is gone his way.
then he boasteth."
And before VIC adjourn" continued
Mr.. Mccarthy. laying down the Holy
Book on his desk, II want to direct
your attention to the fact that the
vice president Of the Southern Gas and
Electric Corporation has declined to
say that his company can and Will
make better gas than is being mdc
by the city now. Then want to re-
flute as false and misleading the adver-
tiscd statement of this company that

SAYS A. q. QUAtLES
a. G. Quarles. OF Highland Park, told
the board that the gas supplied In that
section OF the city by tho Henrico
| County Gas Company. Il property OF the
company applying for tho lease. was
of poor quality during many hours OF
the day. Early In the morning before
the pressure was reduced by the
wider consumption Of the later hours,
he said, the quality was good
Mr.. POllitt and Mr.. Sands explained
that the poor service Of which Mr.
Quarles complained was due to local
conditions. which the company will
shortly remedy. Mr.. Mccarthy here
drew attention to the fact that even
, private companies. suffering from none
of the drawbacks inherent In municipal
operation. appear frequently not to be
able to satisfy some OF their patrons

MCCARTHY COMPLAINED
OF WOMEN on STREETS
Attorney Scott read from records
of the Police Board to show that Com
missioner Mccarthy at different times
had complained 10 the board that the
order given against women OF the un-
lerwcrld being on the streets after ,
O'Clock In the afternoon was not being
enforced by the police and that tn.
board had on each occasion ordered the
also read from the records an order
TO the chief. given In 1912. to break up
all designation houses. The chief ac-
knowledged his recollection OF such
orders.
Then" said Mr.. Scott, there can
he no foundation in fact for the charge
that the police commissioners have in
terfcrcd with the Chief OF Police in
tile discharge of his duty"

thority speaks to an officer below him.
Attorney Smith proved that the chief
had disobeycd the rules OF the Police
board in falling to give orders in writ
ing TO the captain instead of orally.
! Chief Werner admitting IT freely, say
Ing II was not the custom. The chief
was frank and outspokcn throughout
his testimony. He had no complaint
against any commissioner except Com
missioner Goode. and he admitted that
only on the one occasion specified had
Goode !nterfered with him.
