Visitors to Richmond in tho fail
and winter of 1920 will enjoy riding
over the main arteries leading into

An ordinance adopted by the Board
of Aldermeu last night authorizes
Director of Public Works Boiling to
anticipate the sum of 100000, which
will become available for street con-
struction In July, and this amount.
together with the appropriation for
last year. will give the director ap-
proHiinately s1,o00.0o0 to spend dur
ing the spring and summer in plac-
ing tho streets in excellent condition.
Contracts for almost the total APP
preparation of last year were award
cd by the Director last fall. but in
clement weather has prevented all
bu; comparatively small amount OF
work
\ Good business Transaction.
Director Boiling has repeatedly
called attention to the unfortunate
arrangement by which the yearly ap-
preparation for street construction
does not become available until the
time of year when work of this kind
must Of. necessity be curtailed or
abandoned entirely.
Alderman White, of Lee Ward, Of
fered the ordinance last night, say
ing that It was In his Judgment the
only practical way to- meet tho situ-
atic8. :, President1 Adams & Ssupportcti
, the measkte briefly. declaring: it to
be a good business transaction.
With the large sum available for
immediate expenditure. Director Boil
ing will be In a position to carry out
his plan of placing the main arteries
leading into the city in good condi-
tion. thereby making this city more
attractive to tourists and easily, ac-
cessible to farmers who bring their
produce to this market. These plans.
which were presented to the Council
last summer. provide for permanent
concrete roadbeds or all of the prin-
cipal approaches to Richmond.

four wards of the city, the remain
ing 100000 to be used by the direc-
tor in making improvements and re-
pairs where they are most needed
AS the yearly appropriation does not
become available until July. IL is con-
sidered probable that the procedure
provided for in Alderman Whites

in order to take advantage OF the
spring and summer months In which
street construction can be pushed.
