No Longer n village

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-Why all this commotion late
ly In regard to jitncy regulation!
one Is led TO believe that Richmond
is only village, when the addition
of 700 autos distributed OH the va
rious streets can be the cause OF
such n chaos as pictured by various
persons and organizations All
largo cities have tranic jams at
crossings on their principal
thoroughfares and the pedestrians
are given an opportunity ms we'll
az vehicular traffic. We have traffic
officers at all OF our principal cross
ings. both on Broad and Main Streets.
and II proper consideration Is shown
there would be no danger whatso-
ever. II is not such an impossible
ity to cross the streets as Is being
pictured. IL It Is only remembered
that Richmond Is no longer village
that can be upset by few more
autos on It's streets.
There are some careless jtney driv-
ers. but this condcmning the entire
service for carelcssness seems to me
to be greatly exaggerated. and Is
being done solely for the purpose
OF creating sentiment against them.
I am on both Broad and Main Streets
good deal and have not seen this
wholesale disregard for life and traf-
fic rules as some would have us he
licvc. OF course, prcjudiced minds
can see things that others cannot
see. / have patronized jitneys since
the car strike began, n II. as Il whole,
havet found the driver, TO be con-
idefatc and courteous group of men.
The newspapers make much Of the
fact that the consensus of opinion
was that the jitneys should be re-
moved from Broad and Main Streets.
How could II have been otherwise
when no jitney patron OF moderate
circumstances could afford to loso a
half day pay In order to go to
meeting at the ridiculous hour Of 4
o'clock in the afternoon? Certainly
that was the opinion when only
those who were representatives or
committees appointed for the pur-
pose by tho various business organ
izations in sympathy with the car
company could afford to be present,
and they do not have TO depend on
either jitncy or street car, due TO the
fact that majority havo autos OF
their own. They desire regulation
only insomuch as to render aid to the
car company in Its losing fight with

Who VIII spend the Money!

VINO VIII spend the money!
To the Editor OF Tho Times Dispatch:
Sir.-As tho representative in tho
General Assembly OF Virginia of tho
Fifteenth Senatorial District. have
heen. and am, deeply interested In
the question OF a bond issue for road
construction. I was one OF the pa
irons OF the Senate bill carrying this
provision, which failed OF passage
in the last hours OF the recent SEES
sion of the Legislature. 1T seems
to me that the only question: for
consideration is whether Virginia
can afford to walt for tho slow meth
dds necessarily attendant upon the
present system OF construction. or
shall she keep abreast with her Sis
ter States in the march of progress?
There can be no question that the
cost Of labor and material Is as
cheap now as we have any right to
expect It will be at any time In the
near future. Bonds can be sold now
bearing as low rate OF interest as
we have any right to expect within
any period OF time now within the
field of our vision. The people OF
Virginia elected Hon. Il. Lee Trinkle
as their Governor upon the slogan
Of Forward. Virginia" and there
can DO no question that the people
OF Virginia regard the completion
OF our system OF improved roads as
most important number Of For
ward, Virginia" program.
Then, with bond issue OF s12,-
coo. 900. and n gasoline tax OF l cent
n gallon to provide for tho payment
OF interest and sinking fund to
retire the bonds upon maturity. it
seems TO me that the Immediate
problem Is solved In a large measure.
| The roads are paid for by those who
| use them. And they can well afford
| TO do so. for tho saving In quantity
Of gasoline and in tho mileage OF

Sir'-ln your paper OF March -

GOOD Roads Answer TO State Farm

have gathered from your paper that
rural people are chiefly responsible
FOR blocking the bond issue
Mr.. Hough Is right In the main. es-
pcc!ally in tho statement that whole
sections are isolated on account OF
bad roads. But. AS Mr.. Eough will
doubtlsss concede, good roads can
be the answer to tho State farm
problem only II the interest OF the
farmer is considered In locating the
routes. In tho hearing before the
Legislative committee in regard 10
tho Richmond Old Point route. The
commissioner from this district made
the statement that II had always
been his policy not to consider the
rural population at all The do
cision OF the commission and com
mittee seems to indicate that he was
not alone In maintaining this atti-
tude. For they decided in favor az
route which parallels the railroad.
and consequently opens up little new
country, and which can Justly claim
no Typographical or economic SUI
perior!ties over. II indeed equality.
with an alternative route fairly
splitting tho territory between two
railroads. The former would he
direct road for from three to six hum
dred Richmond sportsmcn TO their
fishing clubs. The latter would he
ten to hftcen miles shorter to Rich
mond for a rural population north
OF the lower Pamunkcy and York
Rivers OF nifty to seventy five thou
sand. for which the former route has
no equivalent.
Which read Is worth more 10 Rich
mond?
II this be an example OF the way
routes over the State are chosen. will
the roads thus located answer the
State farm problem?
II the rural people did block tho
bond issue. or If they should con-
t.nuc to do so until their welfare re-
ceives more consideration, are they
to be blamed?
Allow me to suggest that you de-
vote enc OF your editorials to this
phase OF tho roads question.
