more delegates to the coming confer
ence of the board Of the Five Years

COUNCIL AND MAYOR
CONTINUE WORD TILT:
TO INSPECT MOTORS

Council was aroused over alleged
newspaper articles which have appear
ed in the past few weeks, charging
city officials with neglect in enforc-
ing the laws. Demands were made
that these be investigated and denials
made, if necessary.
"The mayor should inform the po-
lice to find out if these things are
true. They are paid to see that the
law is not violated" said Councilman
Ford.
Mayor Zimmerman countered that
he did not know if anything of this
kind was going on. He said that the
police had been informed to bring ev-
eryone before him that violated the
law, but that it was impossible for
the small police force which the city
had to watch every church, school
house and residence in the city, to see
if they were violating any of the
laws" The mayor stated that he was
satisfied that the police would bring
all the law violators before him.
Ford Replies.
Councilman Ford declared it was
the mayors duty to know whether
these things were~true.
"The person who will make charges
under cover, but will not place them
before the grand jury, or the proper
officers to attend to them, is skulk
ing coward. We should find out if
these things are true and if not, as
believe they are not, put stop to
futher staining of the city's name"
one of the councilmen stated.
Mayor and council insisted that
Richmond was the best city in the
state in which to live.
Sentiment among council members
seems to favor the motoriZing of the
street department of Richmond with
in the next year, if the expressions of
opinion at council meeting Monday
night can be taken as indicative. Dell
Davis, city engineer, and Councilman
| Waidele were appointed to represent
the city by investigating makes of
motor street cleaners which are work
| ing in other cities.
May Use Motors.
! Virtually every councilman express
ed the opinion that motorizing the de-
partment would prove economical in
the end, as we'll as guarantee a much
| high grade of service to residents OF
the city. If the new cleaner is bought
all the work of street cleaning will be
done at night, it was stated at the
| meeting.
The ordinance providing for the in.
corporation of Benton Heights in the
city of Richmond was read and pass
ed two readings and will be up for
final passage at the next regular meet
ing of the council. No objections
were raised by any of the council
men.
A temporary loan of 100000 for the
anticipated expenses of the city light
plant for the current year 1921, was
| incorporated in an ordinance which
passed the third reading onday night
The question of a loan will be taker
up with the state tax board and if il
passes will be returned out of the
revenues of the plant.

CALIFORNIA EDISON
GIVEN POWER PERMIT
fBv Associated Press,

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 21.-Applica-
ton by the Southern California Edi-
son company for a preliminary permit
to develop 2,500,000 horsepower of
electric energy from the waters of the
Colorado river has been accepted by
the Federal Power commission at
Washington, according to a telegram
which John B. Miller, president of the
company announced he had received
today.
The company plans to make the cleo
trio clergy available in California,
Utah, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado.
In connection with his announce
ment Mr. Miller said: The electric
energy which could be generated from
the power sites on the rivers covered
by the application is equivalent to the
total hydro-electric development in
the IL states western at the beginning
of 1920
Incident to the project Is the es-
tablishment of a uniform flow of the
Colorado river. which practically
would eliminate seasonal floods.
THE storage basin will be more
than 200 miles in lengtht, impounding
more than 4o,000,000 more feet of wa
ter The total possible hydro-electric
development of the Colorado river is
more than 1000 horse power, which is
equal to onehalf the total hydro-elec-
trio power now generated in the en-
tire United States.

REVISE TAX
LAWS, URGES
KAHN TODAY
Business Demands Immediate
Revision to Insure Healthy
Growth, Declares New York
Banker to Committee.
DENOUNCES TREAT /
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.- Business
of the country is demanding and must
have revision of the tax law il it is
to continue healthy growth, Otto H.
Kahn, New York banker, told the
house ways and means committee to-
day in the course of a statement in
which he denounced economic aspects
of the treaty of Versailles and de-
clared for a continuation of surtaxes-
Mr.. Kahn was asked during the
course of his statement whether he
thought the signing of the treaty of
Bersailles. would obviate any of the
ifficulties industrial and financial now
confronting the country. He replied
that the Versailles treaty was ''as dew
astating as the war in it's disregard
of economic aspects.
Blames Turmoil.
Mr.. Kahn blamed the present finan-
cial turmoil for the predicament in
which the farmers find themselves.
He said their condition was not due
to financial defation because there
has not been financial deflation so
far"
Taxation, according to Mr.. Kahn,
was one of the factors bringing about
collapse of the market He declared
it was necessary that we retrace our
steps and reestablish a saner and fair
er system of taxation without any un-
due tenderness to capital"
To Collect Taxes.
Declaring that the rich "are very
canny and will protect themselves al
ways" Mr.. Kahn said capital should
pay its just taxation and that a sys-
tenn must be worked which would
compel those taxes to be paid.
asked regarding recent proposal to
tax bank deposits the witness said
such step would be almost disas-
trous in effect"
1T would practically make US go
back to the days of barter-wouId be
throwing a monkey wrench into the
whole machinery of finance" said he.

INSIDE JOB" BELIEF
OF TOLEDO POLICE
IN EXPRESS ROBBERY
(By Associated Press)

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 21.-Detectives
working in conjunction with investi-
gators for the American Railway ex-
press company, began today to investi-
gate the possibility that the $16,500
robbery at the company offices here
last night was planned from the in
side.
George D. Hartman, local manager
for the express company, furnished
the police with names of guards who
were held UP by six men armed with
shotguns, while transferring a safe
containing the money from the office
to track in the rear of the store
for shipment.
Police Search City.
The police spent all of last night
searching every known hangout for
crooks without making a single arrest.
1t is believed the bandits took refuge
in the vicinity of Point Place, four
miles north of the city, which is
known by police to be harboring
place for safe-blowers and gunmen.
These places were searched without
any result, however. The police base
their belief that it was an inside job
on the fact that something apparently
went wrong with the plans. Less
than half an hour before the robbery
another and larger safe containing
more than $50 600 was passed through
the same door and was taken to the
railroad station and placed on'a train.
This doubtless was the one the
robbers were after, the police point
out. The smaller safe carried Off by
the bandits after last nights robbery,
has not been found.
Boys Are Suspected.
The police believe last nights rob-
berry was committed by boys. During
the progress of the holdup. the hand
kerchief mask worn bw one of the
bandits slipped down and disclosed
the face of youth not more than
IS years of age, according to one of
the express company guards.
Another curious phase the police are
trying to solve is the fact that not a
shot was fired during the process of
holding up the express company men
and transferring the safe to one of
two autos which the bandits used in
escaping.
