All Richmond Is Giving to.
the "New Retreat"

The present Retreat is 125 ycar-oh dilapi1zord
residence building 1t has been sold and must be vacated
at once. Retreat started at Grove Avenue and
Mulberry Street in 1917 with funds contributed at dat
lime Work on the building has proceeded far as is
possible with funds in hand and unless the money
needed to finish il is forthcoming. the Retreat will have
to 60 out of business.
You may say it is Impossible that
the Retreat would be allowed to go out of business But
if the majority of our people stand back and depend
upon few to put this project the Retreat certainly
will have TO go out of business --~
S125,OOO is needed 10 complete the Retreat
which is designed to be strictly modern hospital with
double the capacity of the old Retreat.
And now for little plain speaking. The contribu-
tons to this campaign have been far less than they should
be-far less than hoped for. Unless there is an
eleventhhour rally the part of all people this
grand old Richmond institution will be lost to the city
have not given to this cause and of the work

tables. to make preparations in case
the nation should be compelled to de-
fend itself.
If reports current in Washington
today are reliable. the administration
has finally tacitly admitted the mis-
take of its idea Of supine unprepared-
ness in face of war and Secretary Ba-
ker. acting as spokesman, will soon
be openly on record for the policy,
which was once denied.
Whether the matter of the adoption
of the permanent military policy will
be taken up at the present SEES sion
of congress is a matter that has not
been definitely settled. However, in
the meantime the general staff, un-
der orders of the secretary, is at work
on a series of resolutions for presen-
tation that will contain the very prin-
cipals against which the administra-
ton fought hardest as war approach
ed.
The three tentative projects that
are now said to be under considera-
ton Of General March's corps are:
First-Continuation of present reg
ular army and national guard sys-
tens, both greatly strengthened as
compared with the past. but with nc
system of universal military training,
Second-Small regular army, pro-
badly not more than $4,000 men, and
a greatly improved national guard OF
at least 250. 1000 men, which may have
anything like the Swiss system graft
ed on it.

system of universal military service

CARLYON BILL SHElvED

Good Roads Association Dodge Bond
Plan at First, but Change
Attitude.

1AkIMA.-AftCr the Washington
State Good Roads Association Tues
day afternoon had adopted a resolu.
tion presented by the resolutions COM
mittee. dismissing the CarlyOn bill
with a mere demand that it be given
wide publicity, and opponents of the
measure believed that it had been
safely shelved so far as the associa.
ton was concerned, c. H. Shields. a
Seattle automobile man. following ad.
dresses on tourist traffic by officers
of tourist and highway associations,
carried the convention off it's feet
with a fervent demand for indorse-
ment of the Carlyon bill.
The result was that the measure
was indorsed with whoop, and a
special committee was ordered ap.
pointed to boost for it. Senator Car.
lyon had spoken on his bill and was
not warmly received; but the combi-
nation of tourist facts and Mr..
Shields eloquence proved effective.
The boosting committee is to consist
OF the retiring president, the new
president and five others and will be
named by the incoming president.

SPECIAL TAX To
PAY FOR BRIDGE
TWOMIIL LEVY PROPOSED TO
REPAY BONDS, If THEY
ARE VOTED

A special tax of 2 mills will be
levied by the city every year to es.
Itablish special fund for the repay
ment of the $25,O0O bonds for the
construction of a concrete approach
to the new West Fourth street
bridge, If the bond issue is authorized
at the special election which, accord
ing to present plans, will be held
November 4.
This mode of payment for the
bonds is set forth in the ordinance
calling the special election and stat
ing it's purpose, which was read for
the first time at the regular meeting
,of the council last Tuesday evening.
Final action on the ordinance prob
ably will be taken at the next meet
ing, September Is.
The ordinance establishes "a sys-
tenn or plan for cooperation between
the city and county" for the construc-
tion of the new bridge and elevated
roadway and limits the cooperation
of the city to "a sum not exceeding
$25, 1000" 1t authorizes a special
fund. stipulates that the bonds are
to bear per cent interest and are to
run six years, and that the special
tax of 2 mills is to be levied every
year for their repayment.
In connection with this project, for
which the commissioners let a con-
tract last week at $132,75O, accord
ing to which wooden approach is
to be constructed from the westside.
Councilman Joe Forstell, chairman
of the street committee, submitted a
letter from the contractor, J. M.
Huber, clearing up misunderstand-
ing over the cost of a concrete ap-
proach.
In this letter Contractor Huber
states that he will build a concrete
approach instead of wooden for $780,
900 more than the present contract
price, making the full cost of an all
concrete structure $155,75O. OF this
total, the county now is under agree
ment to pay $124,OOO and the city
$4,000, SO that there remains $6,-
$50 to be raised from other sources.
If an all-concrete structure is
built, it Is expected that the North
ern Pacific railroad, which has
already agreed to pay $4.OOO-that
amount being in the county's total
will pay $4,000 more. Where the
other $2,750 is coming from is not
announced.
If the bond issue fails to- carry, q
wooden approach will be built, for
which the city has obligated itself to
pay $3.50.
Passage of the ordinance was de-
layed until the next meeting at the
request of Councilman Haycox, who
said the East Bay avenue paving
project might be involved in it.
