Sit is matter for public commend alton
slat the Common Council has refused TO be-
&ow the name OF "Cutshaw" on the Boulc-
card. There is no honor within the province
sc Richmond to tender that the memory OF
#olonel Cutshaw does not deserve. In the
Cork of municipal planning and in the beau
Shcation of its cnvirons. no person ever did
eiore than he but it seems SO eminently fit
:sng that the name Of Jackson" the South S
treat military leader, should be chosen to
s,sesignate the beautiful thoroughfare ON
Sfhich his statue STANDS. that in the minds
sif most people there exists no doubt as to
thai course the City Council finally should

STREET IMPROVEMENT
 MAKES B|G ITEM IN COMMISSION SESSION

Public improvements, notably paVlnS projects, formed the feature of the city commission meeting yesterday, nine different improvements coming before the commission in one way or another, either in petitions from property own CTS, resolutions by the commission, or reports by the city engineer.
 The commission led off by passing in rapid succession three resolutions, or dering, respectively, the improvement of Willetta street between Seventh and Twelfth streets: portions of Brill, Tenth and Eleventh streets, and Fifth street between Adams and Roosevelt streets.
 Probably the most important inn proyement that came up was a petition requesting that deed be accepted and 8 S0-foot street opened, running north and south through Bryan Place. The street would be known as Thirteenth avenue, and would extend that avenue to Polk street by joining with private driveway now in use between Twelfth and Fourteenth avenues. The petition also asked that a 15-foot alley be opened between the proposed extension of Thirteenth avenue and Fourteenth avenue and sewer service run through the alley.
 The matter was referred to the city engineer with instructions to notify the i interested parties, if he finds it satis- 1 factory that he may proceed with the work.
 The other street improvement peti- tions were taken up by the commis l sion. one for Sixth avenue between i Fillmore and Roosevelt streets, and the other for Second street between Port land and Culver. The city engineer was instructed to prepare plans and ! specifications for the former while the latter was referred to the engineering department for checking.
 Following favorable reports by the engineering department on petitions fol 1 the improvement of Portland street 1 from Central avenue to Seventh street and portions of Jefferson and Madison streets and Twentieth avenue, the city engineer was instructed to prepare plans for both projects.
 MT. Henderson addressed the meet 1 ing relative to paving Van Buren street from Seventh avenue to Fifteenth ave- nue. stating that while they had no secured all the signatures they hat sufficien: to warrant the work, ant lIldL tlOSt WUU idd lOl ol5 litu tiiC pc tition would not sign protest. ant moved. seconded by Irvine, that thu city engineer be instructed to .proceef with the work in the usual manner The motion was carried unasiiraso4,-:s
 The bid of the Southwestern Con tracting company was accepted for i'm provement of Fifth street from Jeffer son to Adams streets. Cit Manage Thompson was authorized to advertis
 for bids on iron pipe for water mains made necessary by the many pavin:
 contracts.

MELCzER COMPANY ID
 CONSTRUCT 4 S200.0O0 BUILDING FUR HOME

Construction of a s200, 900 reinforced concrete building at Fourth avenue and Jackson street by the Melczer company was the announcement made by the wholesale grocers yesterday. The build ing will be three stories with a base ment and the entire floor space will be utilized by the firm, which expects to move into the new quarters by the first of the year.
 According to the plans the building will be one Of the most modern and up to date establishments in the south west Except for a few minor changes the plans have been found satisfactory and local contractors will soon take the preliminary steps toward building the wholesale house which will occupy the three lots 150x1371a feet, purchased by the firm from Harry Kennedy.
 The Melczer company has found it's present quarters on Adams treet wholly inadequate for it's business, which has branched out widely throughout the state. It is understood that negotia = tions are now under way for the lease of the Adams street store, which is considered one of the best down town locations in the business districts.
 The Melczer company was organized e'pCoh l 7 SoA oSO NAtll AdSlCLtG dS president and Joseph T. Melczer as vice president. Both had previously acquired interests in Goldman and com pany, which they took over adding te the firm LeRoy McPeak as second vice president; Gus Summerfield, secretary and Edward Melczer, treasurer. The old established retail business had beer l changed to wholesale business some i time before, which has greatly devel- oped during the past year.

T0 SHOW PEOPLE HOW SUb-SURFA FACE WATER
 TOSTART FROM VERDE

A picture of the intake gallery planned for the new Verde River gravity water system for the city will be published in Phoenix newspapers to give the public an idea of the man. ner in which water will be taken from the Verde river sub-surface flow for use in Phoenix, according to plans ap- proved by the city commission. The action was taken after City Manager Thompson had presented plans for the intake gallery to the commission.
 Under the present project for the big new water works system for the city, the water supply is to come from the below the surface flow of the Verde river, insuring the best of the water. The intake gallery, the extreme river end of the waterworks system, will take up the water and start it on it's way through pipes and mains to Phoenix No. pumps will be, required in bringing the water from the river to the city reservoirs, the whole system being operated by gravity, making ii the cheapest and most simple water method possible.

MANY IN CLASSES ID GRASP AT CHANCE FUR RELATED EDUCATION

There is little in this town develop ing faster and producing more visible results than the Opportunity school which was opened at the Monroe street Juilding a month ago under the di rection of Mrs. Etta Clifford Young. This school, as has been explained, is designed to aid those who for lack of time or money can secure instruction from no other source At the outset there were applications from IS per sons for the course in salesmanship. Since then there have been 296 applica- tions for instruction in the following courses: English. 15; arithmetic, 13 spelling, ?; penmanship, ,, Spanish, S4 cooking, 6; sewing 24; millinery, g ; salesmaship. 20; typewriting 21; short hand. 12; bookkeeping F; auto me chanics, 13 telegraphy, and serv- ing II.

 People of all ages above Is are avail ing themselves of the opportunities Of fered by the school. One young girl who had applied for a position but was deficient in arithmetic was among the early students and she quickly qualified for the position. Another young woman was promised a position if she could bring herself up in textiles, and she IS now rapidly mastering that subject. A laborer living some distance in the country has come in regularly, walking a long distance, to familiarize himself with English.
 Many of the students were diffident, seemingly without confidence in them selves on their arrival, but they soon get over that and take a level look at the tasks and the world before them.
