PERIOD OF CITY,S EXPANSION

The most important single accom-
piishment of the chamber during my
administration was the active move
for greater Richmond and the ac-
compliShment Of the annexation of
Richmond and Manchester, together
with the active steps taken toward the
construction of the splendid Mayo
Bridge. connecting the North and South
Sides
Another important move of the
chamber which was inaugurated dur
the old Chamber of Commerce Build
ing to the First National Bank Cor
poration. with the resultant building
of the splendid twenty-story structure
now occupying the site Of the former
Chamber of Commerce Building.
The chamber also secured number
of notable conventions, including the
American Cotton Manufacturers, the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Associa-
ton. and the National Paint Oil and
Varnish Association. together with a
number of smaller conventions, all of
which brought very large influx Of
visitors to our city. from all over this
country.
The chamber. in connection with the
City Council, also entertained the
President of the United States, Hon.
William H. Taft, who made a notable
address on the occasion Of his visit

Ut OUT CROOKED STICKS
,be OF Dead Wood for Fuel 10 Also
Applied to Seoundrels and
the War.

Forestry experts In New York, a
state which has given much conserv-
ing attention to its wealth In trees,
urge farmers to help the country meet
the high cost of fuel by making more
use of the dead and dying timber In
their wood lots. They are advised to
burn In their stoves and crates the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and to cut
down and utilize crooked trees obvi-
ously foredoomed to worthlessness as
timber, no matter how long they may
be allowed to stand.
This Is good advice, and there Is
human moral In the crooked stick part
Of II, says an exchange. The same
stress Of war times, which led to the
appeal issued to New York farmers
In sitting out crooked men. Some ras-
calls will profit by war conditions, but
In the broad view Of the nations af-

chances with scoundrels. II must cut

Of the tax collections for 1916 have
been made. which is beyond expecta-
lions, as 5 per cent is always allowed
as non-collectible. Up to the present
time 81 per cent Of the collections
have been made for 1917, with three
months to collect the balance. 1t was
expected that overdue Inheritance tax
collections would reach but $125,900,

Of all figures the state is short but
