Myers Wants New Fire Alarm System,
While Trafford Plans To Lay Many
New Gas Lines During Coming
Year.

Department estimates for the 1920
city budget are due 10 reach Mayor
George AinSlic'S hands today from the
heads OF tho various operating divisions
of the city government. From these
estimates the Mayor viii prepare his
budget for submission to the City
Council by January !. in time TO have
it passed by that body before Fcbru-
AIRY !, 1920. the beginning of the fiscal
year.
Only speculation as to tho amount Of
the next years budget for the city is
possible at this time. For 1919 the
100000. but there is every indication
that 1920 will see the cost of operat-
Ing the municipal government much IN
excess OF that amount, for in addition
to the natural increases that would
come with tho growth OF the city and
the prevailing increased expenses on
every side. there will he much money
required for work in all sections Of
the city which is considered urgent.
Wages 10 Tie RAISED.
Perhaps the largest single item 20
swell the budget will be wages. the
class OF workman cmpoyed by the city
will receive an increase in pay. where
such an increase is warranted on ac-
count of wages not now deemed sutti-
Client.
The gas situation in Richmond is
one that has been holding the atten-
b eP ct nTs't Of Pan Giss Of f foT
some time. and in his budget esti-
mate TO the Mayor II is stated he Will
include items OF many additions to
the present eQuipmen tof the gas de-
pRrtment.
Construction of a new gas holder for
the city. the laying of new pipe lines
70 replace those worn out and OF size
too small 10 NEE; requirements, and
the extension OF lines IN every section
of the city are some OF the plans OF
Director Trafford 10 put the gas supply
and distribution on satisfactory
basis.
Wants Fire Alarm System.
In addition to these the purchase
OF the Henrico Gas Company is con-
tempiated, the repairs and enlarge
ment OF which Will require almost
$500 600
A complete new fire alarm system for
Richmond VIII be included in the
budget estimate by Colonel w. NJ
Myers, Director of Public Safety. Col
onel Myers has declared this to be one
of the most pressing needs at this time,
and one which, ii neglected. may re-
suit disastrously for the city. Prob
ably 100000 Will be required for the
work.
That the budget estimate for city
schools will he large is not only borne
ont by the increased school attendance
and the present inadequacy of some
OF the school buildings, but was also

conference held in Richmond, when
