HELPFUL WORK OF Y. VI. C. A.
Eight Hundred Men At Prayer Meet
ing and 4 600 Soldiers Studying the
Bible, Part of Work Donc-All
Prejudice Disappears Against Work

Mr.. w. NJ. Lee. assistant State sec
rotary of the Y. NJ. c. A.. and who
was the associations representative
on the border at Brownsville, deliver
ed highly interesting address to tho
Railway Y NJ. c. A. Tuesday Club
on Tuesday, which included very
graphic descriptions of the county
its topogra ply, climate and resources
and of the interesting experiences
in the land of cactus and sand. About
.one-half the population OF Browns
Vile consists of mixed breed of
Spanish and Indian. The days are hot
and the nights always cool ard re-
freshng.
The address dwelt chiefly with the
Y. NJ. c. A. work, which was support
ed by the liberality of association
friends In Virginia; how quickly the
so by 4o-foot Y. M. c. A building
was erected and how it's multiplicity
of attractions was a blessing to the
soldier boys, providing them recrea-
ton. amusement comforts and great
moral. intellectual and spiritual help
to them. 1t was no unusual sight TO
see eight hundred men at a prayer
meeting service and there were one
thousand boys who were regular Bible
students. To a great crowd OF men
modified and awaiting the call for
active service. the Y. NJ. c. y. acts
as a great restraining, no less than n
great constructive force. The As
ISOLATION stressed the religious side
OF the work--not that the social
phase was neglected by any means.
but II was felt that in emphasizing the
religious side that II made for the
promotion of all the right and proper
things in life. The speaker paid a
graceful tribute to many OF the Of
ficers who nobly assisted in the work
the association did. He related in
cidents of how the barriers OF pre- JUDGE
against the association were broken
down by the demonstrated all
around good that was being done and
Interestingly demonstrated that the
Y. NJ. c. A. is a very valuable, If not.
indeed. an Indispensable adjunct to an
army mobilization camp.
Chairman f. w. Grice suggested a
rising vote OF thanks to Mr.. Lee for
hia very fine address. and every mem

|ST|R IS CAUSED BY
PROPOSED TAX RAISE
Strong Opposition Against Increased
Lcvy-Would Mean Higher
Rentals,

Considerable commotion was caused
yesterday by the announcement of the
proposed increase of taxes on real
estate which was presented to the
Board of Aldermen Tuesday night by
George s. Crenshaw, city auditor.
The increased levy was suggested for
the purpose of overcoming the i'm
pending deficit the city is facing when
the finances for this year are appor-
toned. Strong opposition to the
measure was expressed yesterday al
most universally, the argument being
advanced that if real estate taxes nc
increased, the already high rents in
Richmond will take another Night.
Mr.. Crenshaw suggested that the
tax on real estate and tangible prop
erty be increased forty-fve cents on
the s100 and this will mean an in
crease of about twenty-seven per cent
in real estate taxes, Following the
reassessnent recently instituted, Will
bring the real estate tax increase up
to about fifty per cent over 1915. AS
a consequence of this, rents will be
still higher, and property owners are
joining with renters IN 9ghting the
suggested raise.
The opinion expressed Yesterday
was that the city should live more
within It's income, Real estate deal
ers declared that properly conld not
bear any additional tax at this time,
for the resultant evil of the increased
burden on the renter would materially
affect other business of the city ana
from this would come. naturally a
falling off in the City's other re-
sources.
Should the increase suggested by
the city auditor be adopted, the tax
rate would then be s225 on each
S100 tho forty-fiye cents being afded
to the $3.50 rate that now exists.

whereabouts, according TO a statement
