IN respect to this State, provides that

use OF lights for these purposes is TO

Lights on the city streets generated

OF leaving such number as shall be
necessary for the safety OF traffic. both
To remain lit tonight is to be decided
by an agreement with the local fuel
comm ssion and the proper municipal
authorities. this being the suggestion
OF the Federal fuel administration.
The liGhtless night program was ef-
fective for while last year and as the
result many tons OF fuel were saved
AT THUS time. when coal and other
forms OF fuel are scarcer than ever
and labor hard to get, the question of
saving as much fuel as possible has
been given serious thought by the fuc!

QUIETLY CANVAss|NC
All Meetings on Charter Change
Issue Called by Those Favor
ing Reform.
CIVIC ASSOCIATION VERY BUSY
Little Effort So Far Made by Coun-
cilmcn Who Prepared Changes to
Interest Public in Their Adoption.
Vote to BE Taken Next Week.

With but one week remaining be
fore the charter-changc election o
august C. the proponents and oppv.
nents Of the projected reforms in the
government of the city OF Richmond
arc active in looking after the votes
or its citizens. While much interes,
has been developed ut various meet
ings held under the auspices OF the
Civic Association, the general concc-:
in the result of the election is no,
what those who favor the changes
would like TO sec. while doubtless emil
nently satisfactory to the members and
personal friends of the Administrative
Board.
series of public meetings Will be
held during the week. with addresses
by prominent men. AS rule these
gatherings are being we'll attended
Hundreds OF voters will probably be
out of the city on election day, which,
comes In the midst of majority OF
summer vacations, and it is stated that
but few of the absentees applied for
ballots in order to vote by mail. II
IS probable that a special effort Will
be made to induce those within easy
riding distance OIL trains to come to
the city to register their opinions on
the reform movement to be then de-
cidcd.
There Is no lack OF evidence that
friends Of the Administrative Board
are active in soliciting votes In oppo-
sition to the charter changes. For the
most part this is being done quietly,
and therefore all the more effectively.
Besides, these efforts are in behalf OF
men with a personal interest at stake
while the citizens who urge the adop-
ton of the amendments to the city
charter have no such incentive, but
are giving their time and means for
what they deem matter of principle
EXPECTED CoUNCILMEN
TO TAKE MORE ACTIVE PART
While there is some comment on the
TACT that the City Council which for
mulated the amendments through its
committee. adopted them by nearly
unanimous vote and secured the ne
cessary legislation at the hands OF the
General Assembly. is now making no
apparent effort to secure their ratif-
cation at the polls it is necessary to
state that the members of the Coun-
Gil are almost solidly standing by their
guns and VIII vote for and support the
changes which they proposed.
Economy and simplncation in city
government are the arguments nut
forth by the advocates OF the charter
amendments. and they rely on the
voter understanding the intent of the
changes and believe a majority wants
the Administrative Board abolished as
unnecessary and expensive. General
apathy small vote and personal So
'tcitation are relied upon by those who
oppose the changes to prevent a ma
tority being registered on August for
the proposed civic reform
Public meetings this week are as
follows:
Monday night. at Highland Park
school
Tuesday night. at Binford Junior
High School.
Thursday night, at Cbimhor.zo
school; also at Woodland Heights Ban
list Church.
Saturday night at Grace Arents'
School.
