WHITE WAY PLANS
DRAWN IN DETAIL
Handsome Standards Suggested
Supporting 400 Candle Power
Incandescent Lights

Plans are moving forward for
the installation of Richmond's
White Way, which, it is hoped.
to have installed properly before
the reconstruction of the new
paved streets begins. The cost
OF the standards and installation
is to be raised by popular sub
scrlptlon among the business men
and citizens of Richmond, accord
ing to the same plan that was
worked out and endorsed by the
Chamber of Commerce and citi-
zens generally before the war.
Complete plans have been
drawn and blue prints made for
the installation of the White
Way posts. A very attractive
design has been submitted, and
the details have pleased all who
have seen them.
The tentative plans call for in
stallation of an ornamental
street lighting system, extending
along Main from Third and Col
Inns streets and on First and
Second streets to Irvine.
The initial installation will con-
sist of 40 units spaced from 90 to
l2O feet apart and located direct
ly opposite each other on both
sides of the street. The plans
provide for adequate illumination
of the above mentioned streets
and their intersections and also
for the fronts of the abutting
buildings.
The standard selected is of the
most modern type; and architect
ually correct for Richmond. The
base is of cast iron with heavy
substantial fluted steel shaft, on
the top of which will be a Gen
eral Electric Company novalux
unit, with large diffusing glass
globe and an artistically designed
glass canopy. Within the globe
and canopy will be 400 candle
power high efficiency, incandes-
cent lamp.
The distribution system will
consist of &C ampere series
alternating constant current cir
cult having a maximum pressure
of 1000 volts. The distribution
system will be wholly under
ground and the cables located in
a trench near the curb. From
this trench the cables will go
through the ornamental stand
ards to the transformer in the
casing of the unit.
The White Way units will be
on two separate circuits, both
circuits will burn until II o'clock
at night and one circuit, having
every second unit, will burn all
night.
Richmond will look like real
city when the White Way is in
stalled and paved streets are laid

Friday Between Freshmen and
Juniors of M. H. S.

On Friday afternoon at 3 O'Clock
there will be tug of war between
the Freshman and Juniors of the
Madison High School on one side and
the Sophomores and Seniors on the
color. The tug of war will be at
what is known as the Kruse pond on
the Four Mile pike, just across the
road from the grandstand of the old
fair grounds. The tug of war will
consist in the classes arranging
themselves against each other as
mentioned above, two classes on one
side of the pond and two on the
other. A cable will be stretched
across the pond and each side will at
tempt to pull the other through. The
contest will begin at o'clock and if
neither side has pulled the other
through the pond by six o'clock the
contest will be a draw. The tug of
war will decide the class supremacy
for the year, the two classes that win
having particular privileges that the
other classes will not enjoy.
Much interest is being manifested
in the contest at the high school.
Both groups went to the country
last night and held council of war
around their camp fires. Much
rivalry in the way of songs and yells
was shown. The classes have or
ganized and have elected their officers
and have adopted their colors and
notices The public is cordially in
vited.

SELLS FLOUR CHEAPER
IN OTHER STATES
High Cost Of Living Commission.
er Says Louisville Millers
Are Discriminating

Louisville, KY, Sept. 1S-A fair
price list for foodstuffs may never be
agreed on or published by the Ken
lucky High Cost of Living Commis-
sion, according to M. B. Kendrick, a
member of its Investigation Com
mittee, who made the following
statement, in the nature of dis
closure, regarding work of the COM
mission:
"Under the acts made during the
war, fair price committees should be
composed of wholesaler, retailer,a
butcher and producer. For two
weeks members Of the committee have
been fighting to publish fair price
list.
.I believe it is impossible to find
a committee composed of dealers who
voluntarily would reduce profits in or
der to make a fair price list for the
benefit of the common people. Nor
do | believe that the present COM
mittee ever will be able to agree on
fair price list.
al am sure that a reduction in
prices will mean loss of profits to
both wholesaler and retailer, but
will leave them reasonable margin
of profit.
Speaking of the -four investigation
which has been under way by the
commission, Mr.. Kendrick said:
ON the -four investigation it was
found by the commission that Bal
lard & Ballard Company sold flour
as far South as New Orleans at
from 81 to $1.10 a barrel less than
they would sell it to the Louisville
trade.
"When Mr.. Ballard was called be-
fore the commission he admitted
that his company sold flour cheaper
outside, but contended that it was
sold in carload lots and for cash and
therefore it could be sold for less
money. Mr.. Ballard was not willing,
however, to agree to sell at the same
price in the Louisville market, even
for cash. He did offer to make a re-
duction of 40 cents on barrel, pro-
vided Louisville retail grocers would
make like reduction of 40 cents,
which would mean that reduction
of 80 cents would be given to the
consumers of Louisville.
81 do not consider Mr.. Ballard's
proposition fair. / believe in Louis
vile and the people of Louisville and
Kentucky, and / am of the opinion
that Mr.. Ballard should show people
of Louisville and Kentucky the same
consideration he is showing people
of adjoining States"
