Anticipating that many questions
would be asked by persons interested
in the 100000 fund campaign of the
Industrial Development company, the
directors have adopted system of
question and answer publicity by
which they hope to acquaint people
more fully with the details of the
project.
The first of the series Of questions
which will run for several days is
given below:
What is the object of this company?
To provide practical plan for build
ing up the manufacturing interests of
Richmond-a plan that will enable In
dustrial company and the Commerc-
ial club to campaign for new factories
along the most modern lines.
Is this plan in any sense an expert
ment?
The Industrial Fund plan has met
the test of time, and has been a great
and successful factor in bringing about
factory expansion in many cities.
Among such cities are Scranton, Will
Transport, Wilkes-Barre and Easton.
Pennsylvania; Sioux City and Daven-
port, Iowa; La Crosse and Racine,
Wisconsin; Haverhill, Mass; Toledo,
Ohio; Topeka, Kansas; Patterson, N.
j.; Little Rock, Ark; Oklahoma City,
Okla. The cities of Columbus, O., and
Louisville, KY, have recently formed
such companies, and Cincinnati, Cleve-
land and Denver are now taking pre-
liminary steps to organize industrial
companies.
What does it propose to do first?
The first necessary step will be to
raise a guarantee fund Of 100000.
With it the Industrial Company can
negotiate with manufacturers seeking
a location with the assurance that it
can fulfill Richmond's part of the con-
tract speedily and without the necess-
ity of special canvass for funds.
Manufacturers with legitimate propo-
sitions cannot afford to waste time on
commercial organizations without
definite backing and naturally open
negotiations with organizations with
industrial funds
How will the money be raised?
The 100000 fund will be raised by
d communicable campaign in which
every individual and firm in Rich
mond will be asked to subscribe in
to his investment in the
community and to the return he can
reasonably expect from such an in
vestment used entirely for the build
ing of greater industrial city.
How much per year will subscribers
be required to pay?
The articles of incorporation pro-
vide that not more than rs per cent of
any subscription can be called for in
any one year. For instance, a person
500 to the fund will not
be called upon to pay more than $25
during any one year, and will not be
called upon to pay anything unless a
contract for factory proposition has

DON'T TAKE CANDY
As BRIDE DECLARES
BOY POLICE CHIEF

Compulsory attendance at church
and Sunday school was advocated as
suitable punishment for boys who vio-
late ordinances Of Boytown, by Junior
Chief Of Police Pickett when he met
with his force for the first time last
night
Several patrolmen were absent. It
was made plain that unless the. young
officers attend all meetings they will
be discharged. Those who were alb
sent last night will be given another
chance.
Don't let your friends buy you off
with candy or ice cream sodas when
you 60 to make arrests" advised the
chief. "Your friends will try to beg
Off Treat all alike. Don't get cold
feet either. They will threaten to
beat your face into pulp some time
when you are off duty Do your duty
despite danger.
Must Uphold Dignity
"The badges which will be given us
will stand for service to the commun.
ity. Those who wear them will strive
to make better future lives for all boys
and girls in the city"
One colored boy will probably be in
cluded on the police force. HIS beat
will be to look after all the negro boys
and girls.
John Melpolder explained some of
the things which the boy police could
do
zone thing that the boy patrolmen
should not get in the habit Of doing is
running to the senior policemen every
time they see some minor offense. Co.
operation of the boys with the city Of
ficers is essential, however. when any
crime OF importance is committed"
Melpolder said.
Boytown patrolmen will probably get
a chance to do traffic duty for the first
time during Fall Festival week when
large crowds will have to be handled
on Richmond streets.

C|TY's APPEAL
fcontInued From Page ons.1


quickly each month than before, the
order Of the commission did not re-
lieve the class Of smallest consumers
For the order fixed the rate for the
first 1000 cubic feet Of gas consumed
in any one month at so cents gross, 10
cents net, thus raising the gross price
to the small consumer in Richmond
exactly 100 per cent The company's
original petition in the case had asked
for an increase from 40 cents to 80
cents gross for this class OF consum-
ers.
The city Of Richmond, meanwhile,
in pleading which the commissions
order frankly says it disregarded.
showed that the company's highest
charge for gas should not be above so
cents thousand cubic feet. Lack of
economy in management, addition to
items to operating expense which are
questionable and financial juggling
were referred to In the protest of the
city of Richmond against the rate
increased asked by the company, but
this protest was disregarded by the
commission, according to its order.
Not Needed by Commission.
The commission failed to heed the
voice of the representative of the
city of Richmond in two respects:
/. It allowed an increase in rates
apparently far above that which the
city had contended would be fair
solution Of the question.
2. 1t did not uphold, in determin-
ing the valuation Of the property for
rate-making purposes, the contention
Of the city that the property of the
company, now inactive, erected for the
distribution of artificial gas. should not
be capitalized against the present
users of artificial gas
Contentious Of the city that duplica-
ton of artificial and natural gas
mains exists also apparently were dis
regarded by the commission.
History Of Case.
The long history of the gas case at
Richmond presents interesting fea-
tures-among them being the many
trips recently of Nimrod Johnson, gen.
eral manager of the plant, to India
napolis, where he apparently sought to
confer with members of the public
service commission.
Johnson, during the last few weeks,
when the Richmond gas order has
been in prospect, has made several
trips to confer with commissioners.
Sometimes he has been successful in
seeing them and at other times he
has failed. His purposes in these
trips has not been disclosed. With
him, on at least one occasion of the
sort was Wilfred Jessup, attorney for
the company. Both men, at that time,
seemed anxious to avoid reporters and
said, when questioned, that they were
not coming to talk to commissioners.

when they might see him.
On another occasion, Johnson. ap-
pearing in the statehouse yard just at
noon. when the commissions offices
are supposed to be closed. spent much
time on the walks about the state
house. seeking to enter the building,
apparently, SO as to avoid reporters.
When finally he enter the building he
went straight to Chairman Dmcan's
offices. The chairman was not there.
A later trip was made by Johnson
under much the same circumstances.
No representatives of Richmond, as
far as is know, made any such trips
to the commissions offices.

HAROLD DENIES
POLITICS ENTER
BRIDGE DISPUTE

Denial that politics Is being played
in the fight for level bridge is made
by DR.. I. S. Harold. president Of the
Wayne County Old Roads association.
DR.. Harold has made the following
statement regarding the activity Of the
citizens committee and the contro.
versy over the type OF bridge to be
erected across the Whitewater river at
Main street:
"On behalf OF the Citizens committee
would like to call attention to q para
graph in the original call for citizenu
meeting to be held at the Westcctt
hotel Dec. 2Sth, 1915. THAT in order
to be of the greatest possible assist.
ance to the board of county commits.
sioners and to the county council and
to furnish medium through which the
taxpayers may be able to express their
wishes and preferences in reference to
the construction Of permanent bridge
to span the river at Main street, there
should be appointed a Citizens com.
mittee. This action is in no sense In.
tended to reflect on the integrity and
ability OF the commissioners or coun.
ell, but to be Of use to them.
1.-THE committee has endeavored IN
all OF its efforts and actions to carry
out In friendly way the purposes as
previously stated, there is no politics
being played upon the part Of any of
It's members. there Is no effort being
mt forth to influence any voter for o.
against any individual whether he Is
in favor Of slanting or level bridge,
but this committee has had very seri-
Gus convictions which are shared by
a great majority OF our citizens that
we should have the advice and assist
ance Of consulting engineer OF wide
experience to advise US and make esti.
mates no matter what kind OF a
bridge is to be built.
THE expenditure Of so large an
amount OF money for the two bridges
should be delayed until We are sure
that no mistake IL being made. The
criticism OF members OF the county
council in not favoring the appropria-
ton without further investigation Is
wrong.
"The statement that the proposition
to repair the old bridge Is scheme Of
the citizens committee for the pur-
pose of delaying the building Of the
bridge until men are elected who
favor the level bridge Is not true, and
so far as the citizens committee is
concerned 1t has always desired more
publicity in reference to the whole
situation that the men who pay the
bills should be correctly informed.
1--WE wish to state again to the coun-
x,, tee ~ ~
there Ia no scheme or politics being
played by our committee and that
there Is nothing but the most friendly
sort of feeling toward them. 1t is true
we have been persistent in our ef.
forts because We believed the import
ance of the undertaking warranted it,
but 1t has all been open and above
board and in friendly spirit"
