THE CIRCUS
Gollmar Brothers and Yankee
Robinson Pleased Large
Crowds.

Thursday was circus day in
Butler and early in the morning
automobiles loaded with old and
young commenced arriving in
town from the surrounding coun-
try and near by towns. just be-
fore noon the usual street parade
was given and it was a good
parade. one of the unusual fea-
lures being the large number OF
open cages. The horses and wag-
ons were not so fresh as they
doubtless were few months ago
and showed that they were on
the last end of strenuous sea-
son.
The two performances, one at
9 30 in the afternoon and the
other at 8 100 that night were full
ly up to the usual standard and
pleased two large audiences
One Of the notable features OF the
Gollmar Brothers and Yankee
Robinson shows was the absence
of the grafters, short change men
and crooks that sometimes are a
part of circuscs.

Department OF Public Works.

Department PuDllC w
The Department of Pubic WORKS
has built twelve miles OF new nara
surface streets The interesting fca-
ture of this Is the speed with which
the work has been done. The whole
program was completed by Septcm-
her To- Some exceptionally good
records we're made, for instance: Hull
street being paved for one mile in
eighty days.
In general work tho widening Of
Bank Street. which was done In
forty-seven working days, and the
building OF steel and reinforced
concrete bridge at the foot Of HUI
Street In one month. from time OF
closing street to opening of street
over new bridge, are notable ex-
arnples OF the speed of construction
in this years work.
or course, most OF the credit for
this speed is due the contractors in
charge OF the various Jobs.
Nearly seventy-fvc miles of gravel
and dirt streets have oeen rebuilt,
besides great deal of repair work
on tho older streets. This bureau has
improved facilities due to the pur-
chase of new equipment.
Much of City Surveyed.
In the survey bureau about 90 per
cent OF the area OF the older part OF
the city has been surveyed besides n
Topographic map made of about
twelve square miles Of the territory
Immediately surrounding Richmond.
This work has been OF most accurate
nature.
In the Bureau OF Parks the out
standing feature perhaps was the
great popularity of the swimming
pool ut Byrd Park.
In the Sewer Bureau the outstand-
ing feature is the starting of the
work on the new $4,000. 900 bond is
sue for sewers.
In the Design Bureau all OF the
sewers for the 100000 bond issue
have been either designed. and old
designs modified. besides the Shockoe
Creek sewer has been completely re-
designed.
The maps for the annexed terri
tory have been completed and de-
signs made for many incidental Jobs
This bureau is n new one and is COM
posed almost entirely OF new men
in the department The results have
been very remarkable, especially con-
sidcring this fact.
The most remarkable feature of
the year has been the generation
shown by citizens generally in the
plans of the department. Streets
have been dedicated, such as was
done in the case OF Brookland Park
boulevard. without cost to the city.

The Department of Public Safety
accomplished much during the year.
The appropriation for the depart
mcnt was not what we had expected.
due largely to demands from other
sources which could not very well
have been overlooked. but with the
sum Mt hand tho results of its ex-
penditure must be looked upon by
all citizens with much pride.
We completed the motorization Of
the fire department and Increased the
number of men, SO that the two

thus guaranteeing greater ef-
ficiency In this most important
branch OF the department.. And we
have been assured OF n water tower

of tho department will in the course
of few years have paid for itself
in tho saving incidental to tho
abollshment OF horse drawn appara-
tus, and besides this. with n COM
