CROWD DISAPPOINTED
WHEN COUNCIL FAILS
TO TILT WITH MAYOR

Council chamber was filled to ca
pacity Monday evening by a CROW
which evidently anticipated a tilt be
tween Mayor w. w. Zimmerman and
certain members of the council.
The council session proved to be
one of the shortest held this year.
and was as decorous as Sunday
school convention. The mayor was IS
polite in the few remarks he address
ed to council as young boys are the
day before Christmas, and the city
dads We're calm and good natured.
This was the second time an adver.
tised battle royal between the chief
executive and the legislative body has
! failed to materialize, and the fight
fans are considerably disgruntled.
/ They are threatening to boycott future
council meetings.

Council was informed Monday that
one of Richmond's little neighbors.

! by the city. E. NJ. Bitters. who. he
said, represented the residents of Ben.
ton Heights. asked council to insti-
! tute proceedings for the annexation
of the suburb, which is located norrh
of the Fairview boundary line. Mr
DIttSl > SdIu llOIle Ol lHc TeSlOenJS or
| the suburb would oppose such action.
He added that Benton Heights was in
need of various improvements and it's
residents believed they would obtain
more benefits by becoming citizens of
Richmond
Mr.. Bitters stated that none of the
contemplated improvements would
add to the expenses of the taxpayers
living outside Benton Heights. He
admitted that several years ago Ben.
ton Heights people had opposed an
neXation to Richmond when council
considered taking such action, but, h.
added, that opposition no longer ex.
isted. He said that "A families lived
in Benton Heights, numbering about
220 people.
.. .. School Board Approves.
The Richmond school board submit
ted a communication to council an.
nouncing the boards intention of con-
structing a junior high school in West
Richmond, with the approval of coun-
Gil. at an approximate cost of s400.
