CITY FARM PROPOSITION
Utilities Committee Receives Report
On Purchase of Farm ana Leaves
Pine Camp Open.
BATKINs BUSHES TO RESCUE
Whole Matter Is Laid Over for Week,
So Contentiing Councilmen May Get
Together ON Plan.

After two hours debate OF, the city
farm proposition, the Council Conn
mfttee on Utilities last night tabled
the report OF q subcommittee. on
motion of Councilman Batkins, for
one week.
The committee received a report
from the subcommittee. recommend
ing the purchase OF farm on James
River, at the cost OF $4,000. and
recommended that the Administrative
Board negotiate a sale of Pine Camp
property at a price which that board
might feel commensurate with the
value Of tAe property.
The report of the subcommittee
precipitated the debate, led by Coun-
Gilman Radcliffe. 1t appears that the
subcommittee. embracing Alderman
Christian Councilman Ladd and
Jefferson Powers and Chairman
Mitchell, took look over number
of propositions. and decided that the
McPhaiI farm, on James River, about
eight miles below the city. would be
typical place for a city farm They
looked into the advantages offered by
several other farm-owners, and de-
termined that the McPhail farm was
the best.
Recommend McPhaa Farm.
The report recommended that the
City Council be asked to purchase the
McPhail farm and that the Pine Camp
farm be placed in the hands of the
Administrative Board to be disposed
of at the best figures.
Councilman Radcliffe arose to state
that he could not agree with the re-
port Of the subcommittee.
1.-THE subcommittee has taken upon
itself something which 1t was not EN-
powered to do" said Mr.. Radcliffe.
This committee was directed to look
over the situation and to report back
whether 1t thought the purchase of
a farm good thing. It was not d.
rected to go out and select a farm to
be recommended to Council. The Ad-
ministrative Board suggested that 1t
be given power to sell Pine Camp farm
and use the proceeds for the purchase
OF city farm.
But here Ia this subcommittee COM
ing In and recommending the pur-
chase OF a certain farm. without hav-
ing given other citizens the right to
offer their farma The Administra-
tive Board itself does not do business
in that way. II advertises all bids
and contracts and looks over the situ-
alton, and then gives the contract to
the best bidder.
This subcommittee has not done
that. IT comes here with a completed
report It tells us that we must
recommend a certain farm. This may
be the best farm obtainabie, and
expect IL Is But has that committee
treated this full committee with proper
respect7 We should have received a
report recommending the purchase of
a farm. We did not send out the sub
committee TO select a farm That
committee was supposed 10 hand in a
recommen dation one way or tho other,
as to the feasibility of the purchase
of farm"
