disturbance. the new President seems to
have been the real choice of the voters OF
the country. They regard him rs in SYM
pathy with their best national aspirations

which will make for q continuation OF con-

1t is up to President Obregon to prove by
his future acts that he merits this conf

Fortunately. he enters office under con-
ditions very favorable for his success. Aside
from the confidence he has inspired in his
own countrymen of his disposition to adj
minister the high trust with due regard
TO justice for all. abiding by the law and
the Constitution. his public expressions dur
ing the intervening period since his election
and attitude of friendiiness toward foreign

confidence both in his ability to deal with
delicate problems and the integrity of his

Make The Bridges Free

- ICfiMoND cannot nope 10 acnlcSc even
N normal growth. and certainly il can
not expect To reach it's coveted $50 900
population figure by 1880 so long as it con-
sents to having itself shackled and its ter
ritorial development impeded by ANTICIPATED
toll bridges in its very heart. Ancient Gaul
had nothing on modern Richmond III this
respect 1t divided into only three
parts. hut Richmond is divided and then
subdivded. and the citizen who is COM
PEELED 10 pass daily-thousands OF them
several times daily-from division to
another, are mulCted OF toll which. aside
from its petty annoyance. in the course OF
year constitutes no mean drain on their
pocket books.
Richmond lays claim. in many respects
rightly, to being an up-to-date community,
and still it permits itself to be hamstrung.
and it's citizens heavily taxed by an ancient.
outgrown, and entirely unnecessary system
nj private toll taking. which all really pro-
grrssve cities discard years ago. Until
these shackles are stricken of Richmond
must expect to be cramped and under-de-
veloped Under the present unsatisfactory
arrangement three OF Rchmond's most de-
srable residential districts are absolutely
cut off from the business section and from
other residential districts by toll bridges
owned by the Virginia Railway and Power
Company. The East End, tho popular
Church Hill section must pay toll across
the Marshall Street viaduct; Highland Park
and all that thickly settled region must pay
for passage across the Fifth Street viaduct,
while Barton Heights, Ginier Park and the
other subdivisions in that direction must
dig down for cash for the privilege OF cross
ing the First Street yiaduct.
The result is a heavy drain on citizens
who the bridges. Il check to the de-
vciopmcnt of these outlying sections, a fur
Tier congestion OF population in tho central
and less desirable territory, and higher
rents. With an acute shortage in the num-
