D. w. BRIDGES RESIGNS
AS HEAD OF SCHOOLS
Resignation Accepted Effective at End
of Present Term-City Loses
High Class Educator.

At a meeting of the City Board of
Education last Monday, the resigna-
tion of D. w. Bridges, Superintendent
of the city schools, was accepted, to
take effect at the close of the present
term.
Prof. Bridges has accepted a similar
position with the city schools at May
field, KY, and will take charge of that
place about July 1st.
Since coming to Richmond from
Lancaster eight years ago, Prof.
Bridges has had wonderful success
with the local schools and the city will
lose a valuable educator when he
leaves. A number of educational
changes have been made for the bet
terment Of the school system, and his
policies have always been of the most
advanced ideas. He had recently been
by the local Board for
term of two years, and at consider
able advance in salary, but the new
proposition was so much in accord
with his ideas on the present educa-
tional problems, he deemed it best to
accept the offer as it came to him.

New Ideas Advanced

Prof. Bridges has long been an ad-
vocate of the Central High School
system which is owned and operated
by the city and county, and it is possi-
bly, under this plan Mayfield is now
constructing a new 100000 school
During his term here, the payroll of
the teachers has increased so per cent
and the enrolment of the schools Is
per cent. Manual training is now one
of the most successful departments Of
the school, and at the colored school,
manual training and domestic science
are both proving very successful
That Prof. Bridges is an educator
of the highest type is attested to by
the fact that this offer came to him
entirely unsolicited and he has been
elected for a term Of three years.
Richmond is losing valuable man,
Richmond is losing VALUABLE man;
and the Board will have to look long
time to- secure a man to fill the i'm
portant position he is vacating.

(By Associated Press)

Washington, April Wage ad-
vances for the four leading trainmen's
and enginemen's brotherhoods were
discharged finally today between Di-
rector General Hines and the chiefs of
the Brotherhoods.
It is probable that an order will be
issued in a few days that will readjust
their wages so as to restore most of
differences between the various class
es of employees, existing before Jan
uary 1st, 1915, which were disrupted
by general wage increase granted
last year.
A few rates may be lowered, it was
said, but the general level will be rails
ed. It is reported today that the
Brotherhood's application for time
and half pay for overtime had not

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
COMPLETE HARD TASK
Tax Raise To Take Care of Madison's
Increase of $4,000,000, Well
Handled By Board.

After three weeks of hard work,
the Madison County Board Of Super
visors completed their work Monday,
and turned the tax books over to the
sheriff for collections.
It will be remembered that this
county was raised $4,000,000 over
its assessment and although every
known effort was made to get this re-
duced, the state board would not hear
to it and, consequently, the board had
nothing else to do but put the raise
wherever it was found to be fair. A
member of the county board has made
the following statement pertaining to
their work which we herewith publish:
"A word to the owners of personal
property and land in Madison county.
We have worked faithfully and stud
led the great problem of equalizing
the properties of this county and be-
lEeve that we have done work that
has never before been accomplished
and which was certainly needed. II
looked to us from the Assessors books
that the supervisors had only raised
taxes where it could be easily raised,
and some of those fellows were raised
to the limit. So with the raise this
year and the big raise Of last year.
we need not expect anything but high
taxes.
"We have done our-hest to get all
lands on a basis of the same per cent,
according to the location. condition
and quality, and it was for these rea-
sons, it has taken US three weeks to
do the work. Some lands in this ooun-
ty hadn't been raisei for forty years,
and we have raised them enough TO
let them know they are not forgotten
We dislike to raise your taxes, bit
you know we were offered to. If
we had not, it would have been done
at Frankfort and then YOU would have
howled sure enough. We have not
put any large amount on any- oarJicu-
lar one, but have end aav. res! to equal
ize the raise and distribute the four
million to the best of elir ability.
"Every man on the. board raised his
own property equal WITH HIS neighbor.
Our advice to The farmers Of Madison
county is to get out that old song
book you used to sing in when you
were young, and find ne song that
reads:
"Stay at home. TOMMY,
Don't go; don't go;
And you will confer a favor
On US poor, tired, and faithful souls.
