street were too blunt and gave the
visitor to the city the idea that he

desired.
Rather than have Richmond obtain
the reputation that it was not hos
pitable the commissioners promptly
agreed to change the reading Of these
signs, to please park on some side

The police commissioners also an.
nounced that the visitors to the city
had a perfect right to park their We
hicles in the business district of Main
street for period not exceeding 80
minutes. This has been the rule for
some time but it has not been gen.
orally known.
The commissioners state that if
Main street was not so narrow they
would be perfectly willing to with.
draw all parking regulations for that
street.

and nine injured. Four Of the injured
were so badly hurt that their death is
believed to be a matter Of a few
hours.
Almost as soon as the car left the
barn 1t was noticed that the motor
man was unable to control it. Sew.
eral passengers on board clung to,
their seats in terror. The car gained
momentum as 1t swept down the
grade and after travelling three blocks
jumped the rails at a curve.
