and all would remain intact as they
are now from First Street to Third
street. The street car tracks would
be removed and the street would be
relieved of all car and through traffic,

Traffic from First, Second and
Third streets would be taken care of
under the bridge, passing out at Third
to Fourth street alons the south side
of the bridge, using part of the
north side of the Court House
grounds as a roadway landing at
Fourth on Main street. Main street
from First to Third would be covered
roadway thus protected from the in
clemency of the weather both winter
and summer. furnishing ample room
to accommodate all factories and indi-
viduals desirig to use the streets in
that vicinity. With this kind Of con-
struction the conveniences Of proper
ty owners would not be interfered
with. Fire protection would be as good
as it is now; it would not increase
the cost of production nor lessen the
output of factory or shop. The value
of real estate would be increased

Plan for Most Good.
We should view the proposition Of
building level bridge from all an.
giles and try as best we can to ac-
commodate the many with as little
hurt as possible to the very few.
The bridge is an integral part of. the
most important street in Richmond,
the most important and historic road
in the county and state, and possibly
the greatest continental thoroughfare
in the nation and all the world
The report that has been circulated
that the city would have to nay for
constructing the bridge from the end
of the old bridge east is myth and
without foundation. If the county had
right to extend the present iron
bridge 600 feet beyond the length of
the old wooden structure that it re-
placed to accommodate the needs of
the people, it has the right to extend
the present bridge to Third street to
meet and accommodate our present
needs.

City Attorney Bond said today that
there was not the slightest question

FRANCHISE
May BE Kept BY Lexington Club
Meeting Called For This Morning
To See Whether Team
Stays There.

Lexington, Ky, July GAS to the
question of whether Lexington will
have organized ball during the bal
anoe of the 1916 season, little ray of
hope drifted through the clouds yes
day in an announcement by President
Brewer, of the club, that the league
had not yet asked them to turn over
the franchise in spite of reports to the
contrary out of Portsmouth. Neither
has the club been sold to Huntington,
as the dispatches of Monday night had
it. OF course, all this may come to
pass, but it has not yet happened, and
while there is life there is hope.
Here is the way the question will be
settled A meeting of all Lexington
fans and business men who wish to
keep Lexington on the baseball map
will be called at IL o'clock Monday
morning in the Office of Magistrate
Graves in the courthouse, and Presi-
dent Brewer and his associates will
turn the franchise over to the city,
to hold or to turn loose. just as they
think is best. If enough money can
be raised to put the team on its feet
for the balance of the season, all we'll
and good. and Lexington will probably
be included in the Ohio. State circuit.
Otherwise, Lexington will lose its
place in organized ball and its reputa-
ton of having never given up the ship
in midsummer. President Brewer and
the other stockholders say they are
willing to help finance the team to a
big extent but that they are not willing
to carry the whole load and that they
think the citizens of Lexington should
chip in
This is the case as it stands at pres
ent. 1t is foolish to hazard a guess as
to what Lexington's status so far as
the Ohio State League is concerned
will be one week from today. but, at
any rate, the clouds do not look so
black as they did "a hours ago. II is
believed there are enough public-spir-
tied men in Lexington to keep the old
ship afioat for the balance OF the sea-
son, and If they stay in this city intact
the Colts are an even money bet to win
the pennant which Lexington has
never had.

shaw OF the County Saturday

Miss Cora Knoveshaw of the Orange

escape from serious injury Saturday

Miss Knoveshaw had been delivering

produce to a number of her customers
along East Second street and was seat
ed in her buggy in front of the Lingen-

scared the horse and it ran across the
tracks and which have been dug out
at this place The jolt threw Miss
Knoveshaw out and she fell in hole
dug by the gas company in laying
some of their gas lines. The horse ran
up the street a short distance and
stopped where it was caught.
Miss Knoveshaw was not seriously
injured although at first it was
thought that she had several bones
broken. AS it was she only suffered
several severe bruises and her knee
was strained somewhat After the ac-
cident she was taken to the home of a
friend but after learning of the ex-
tent of her injuries she went on to
her home near Orangeburg.
