FROM ARMY SERVICE

Samuel Barren, a shoemaker at IS
South Eighth street, received letter
from his brother in 4 ia last week
announcing that his i. .iar had met
death. Parts of the letter explaining
the cause of death had been marked
out by the censor. Mr. Barren believes
that his father met death during the
hard fighting last July when the Aus.
TRANS were driving the Russians out
of Galacia. The letter states that the
father died on July 10.
Mr.. Baren's old home is in Stojanon
Galacia. 1t was at this place that the
fighting was hardest and Mr.. Barren
believes that his father was either
accidentally killed or murdered during
this fight. He was not soldier. The
letter states that the mother is very
glad that the Russians have been
driven out for they we're very cruel to
the natives.
The brother, who is IA years old
writes that he wants to get out OF
Austria as soon as possible He says
that conditions there are deplorable
and that the natives are. expecting
them to grow gradually worse. He

A plan for the retirement this year
of the $139,000 of bonds issued for the
construction of the municipal electric
plant by the issuance of refunding
bonds in denominations of 1000 each,
and for a twenty-five per cent reduc-
ton in electric lighting and power
rates within two years, was drafted
at meeting of the public utilities CON-
mittee of council and city executive
officers last night, and its adoption
will be recommended to council at the
council meeting next Monday night.
The plan approved by the public
utilities committee is modification of
the one recently drafted by President

The approved plan provides total in
terest saving of $2S,S51 over what
would otherwise be paid out in inter
est on the plant construction bonds If
they were permitted to run to their
maturity, in 1927. The Bavis plan pro-
vided a saving of $27,141, or $1,710 less
than the plan Endorsed by the council
committee.
Plan is Outlined.
AS outlined the council committees
plan provides that the first retirement
Of the purposed refunding issue shall
take place in July, 1918, when $4,000

more conspicuous than the other IN
struments. The effect OF such per-
fectly evolved volume of sound was IN
describably beautiful and satisfying,
musical and artistic.
The outstanding feature OF the ex-
cellent program, given before a well
filled house, was the tone that the or
chestra produces as body, which was
never exaggerated The violins, per-

any other instrument. The Third Con-

of the violfnists to perfection.
The program last evening was es-

hearty applause which followed Beth

that a Richmond audience can enjoy a
symphony as we'll or better than a
Chicago. Cincinnati or Boston audience

appeal, it being descriptive in nature
but the audience was never more In
