concerted action on thas part N the
city as to what Richmond wants TO do
about improving things and whether
they want improvements enough to
pay an increased tax rate
The mayors stand on the matter is
TO stick by the charter and to keep
out OF debt, thereby complying with
the char 5er. He wants the city to
keep up It's public service and to con-
ttnue improving in every way, and he
desires the city. which has the same
desire, and which has to pay for its
improvements, to know the details
of municipal economics, which will
cause an extra tax unless special priv
lleges are given up which are now
consuming the city's money at A rate
beyond its income.

said In our state we are paying
our chaufeurs as much as we are
paying the teachers In our schools, a
paltry sum to a high class of men
and women who have trained and fit
ted themselves for life work and
are appreciated to the same extent as

The discussion took a wide range
under the roll call OF counties, one of
the trustees of Wise county stating
that the schools here were twice
closed because OF influenza, and that
the lack of money for general school
purposes was due to the inequality
OF land ASSIGNMENTS and the failure to
collect omitted taxes.

Thomas whitehead, of Amherst, de-
plored the frequent portrayal of wo-
men school teachers on the screen as
underpaid. and asked Governor Davis,
who presided as chairman, how it was
possible to pay $4,000 for teachers
when only 81 900 was in hand
