FOUNTAIN CITY.-The Rev. r. r.
Henderson of the Methodist church,
announces the following: "The subject
for Sundays lesson will be The Com
mandments in Modern Life This
subject should appeal to everyone in
the community. We are living in an
age of world achievements and men
with visions of local dimensions only
are doomed to be crushed in the
mighty struggle onward for world de-
mocracy. Churches who point to
lifeless shibboleths, as the basis of
teachings for the salvation of the COM
munities in which they live and have
their being, are about to crumble upon
their foundations. 1t is well then that
we study the essentials in these times
that we may be more useful in our
tasks of tomorrow. Let us study them
in these days in our Sabbath schools.
Come and give us the benefit of your
ideas on the subject

Electric Burglar Alarm
Installed at First National

Installation Of an electric burglar
alarm system with siren horn and
gong attachments was completed at
the First National bank today.
The system is connected with both
vaults. If the combination is touched
slightly at night or if torch is ap-
piled to melt through the steel, the
siren and the bell automatically
sound. All the cages Of the tellers are
connected with the system, affording
protection during the day.
The new appliance is considered one
of the best projections against burg
lars and yeggmen that has been in
vented so far. The siren has a noise
producing volume that can be heard
for squares.

WILL RENTS FOR OLD
HOUSES GO UP, TOO?
Real Reason for Increased.
Rentals.

Councilman f.. Lee Roden, of Lee
ward, in arr interview with represen :
tative of the Virginian yesterday, crtti-
cized the proposal of many property
owners in the city to raise the rents
OF houses and apartments ~ per CENT.
or more on September /. Aithough
he does not think that any legisia-
ton could be passed preventing the
increase, he strongly urges that I'M
mediate steps ought to be taken by
citizens to put stop to this further
boost of the high cost of living, which
has been rapidly soaring instead or
coming down, since the close or the
war.
ITO increase rentals here this year
would be outrageous declared Mr..
Roden at would certainly be unfair
to the tenants who are already bearing
the burden of a recent additional
raise. and a depressing effect would
be felt on the whole community
Admitting that the cost of building
material and upkeep had gone up, he
said that in most eases the further
raising Of rents this year would be
not hing more or less than rank profi-
teering, due to n desire of property
owners to realize more than a just
return on their money" He said the
landlords ought to have more OF a
feeling for their fellow man than to
gouge their tenants in this way"
"Richmond's rents are already
higher than most any city of its size
in the country" he continued. This
is caused. in n large measure by inf1at T.
ing values which has been done much
too frequently in the city He ex-
r1ained that this was done by owners
swapping their property at much
greater value than il was worth.
Since the announcements by Henry
r. Pollard, Jr.. of Pollard e. RaEby,
real estate agents. that rents would

considerable discussion about the mat
ter. MANY hundreds of families are
fearing that they will have to curtail
their expenditures on food and cloth

End. where hundreds are going up.
The main question Is: Does the

CITY BUDGET BEFORE
COUNCIL THIS WEEK

All eyes are focused this week on
the city council, which body is Ia
settle Richmonds financial question
for the fiscal year. There has been
more debates and discussion with con-
sequent delay, over the subject this
year than ever before, and all de-
partments OF the municipal govern
ment are waiting its adjustment with
anxiety. as no activities can be started
or plans made tor the future until it
is settled.
While there is some opposition to
the budget as recommended by the
finance committee. which completed
its work last week, II is thought that
this will he adopted at the regular
meeting OF the common council to-
night at s o'clock.
IT the council adopts the finance
committees budget tonight, the ques-
ton will probably be settled this week.
The board of aldermen can hold a
special meeting for concurrence.
