PURCELL DECLINES TO
V0UCHsAFE FORECAST
City Democratic Chairman Will
Not Anticipate Action OF Conn
mittco Tonight.

City Democratic Chairman John NJ.
Purcell declined 10 commit himself
20 = forecast when he was asked
last night what tho City Democratic
Committee would do ut tonights
meeting if one OF the two candidates
for the party nomination remaining
in the field indicated y desire TO
have the primary abandoned and the
race for the City Trcasurer's office
made q free-for-all in the Novcm-
Der election.
Nobody can tell what will develop
at toright's meeting" he said. THE
situation is complicated. II beats
me. 1t is my earnest desire that we
shall have full attendance ut this
meeting"
Asked it either of the candidates
had intimatcd to him or any other
officer of the committee an incllna-
ton to retire from the primary race
emula;ing the example OF Mr.. Pace,
he replied in the negative. ~ hope
that won't happen" he said. with
only one candidate in the field 1t
would be incumbent on the com
mittec, in the event that primary
were held. to declare that man the
party nominee. Then there is the
question OF election expenses to con-
front us. The cost OF primary
would probably exceed $1,000
"All of these matters. however,
will be thrcshed out at the meeting
tonight. Just what the committee
Will do no one can say in advance.
We can only hope to adjust matters
with reference to the primary call
that has already been issued so as
to best conserve the interests of the
Democratic party in Richmond.
That is what the committee is here
for"
AS the situation now stands, two
candidates have paid their entry fee
OF $500, John Hirschbcrg, State Labor
Commissioner, and Herbert T.. nulce,
City Collector OF Taxes. y handful
advertising the candidacy or Mr..
1iirschbers was circulated at the
Fair Grounds yesterday among the
throng celebrating Labor Day.

OFFER JOINT RESOLUTION
Movement Is Expected to Take Con-

Prominent members of each branch

large oond issue for needed sewer i'm

ready apparent that the movement
will take concrete form before the
end OF autumn. j seems likely that

ject will be offered At an early ses-
sion.

and insistent one.

demands OF the army of property

necessities. War conditions and the
financial condition of the city mill
tated against an earlier compliance
with the demands of the people who
are demanding the improvements. II

tive needs in this direction we VIII
have to ask for bond issue OF at
least 100000, and sl,5o0.QUO would
not be too much.
Bond issues for improvements OF
this character are almost invariably
good business investments. The city
gets back it's money in taxes on
sewers and increased values of prop
crty, which means increased taxes,
am heartily in favor of putting tho
bond issue through as speedily as
possible, and l believe Il large ma
jority In each branch OF Council is
equally enthusiastic on the subject.
