FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Oct.
lev. S. Enbrey, former presi-
dent of the City Council, was
dismissed yesterday in police
court Of charges in connection
with violations of the prohibition
law, although a raid by two Of

home brew.
Although no statement was
made in police court except that
the case was dismissed and that
the confiScated wine and beer
would be destroyed, it was stated
that the decision was the result
of a conference between Embrey'S
attorneys and CommonWealth's S
Attorney w. B. F. Cole which
resulted in the latter's agreeing
to the dismissal because Embrey
once had been an inmate Of q
sanitorium for the treatment of

VA. ROAD WORK
AID PUSHED
MRS. MCKINNEY
rHr

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 16.
Road construction in Virginia is
going on more rapidly than ever
before in the history of the State,
according to a statement made by
Gov. John Garland Pollard In re-
counting that States efforts to-
ward self-help in the drought
situation.
Although apparently drafted in
answer to an inquiry from a Fed
eral source, the statement to
Harry Flood Byrd, Virginia
drought relief chairman and for
mer governor, contained no refer
ence to the query recently sent
out by DR.. C. w. Warburton, Sec
retary to the National Drought
Relief Commission.
The governor disagreed with DR..
Warburton's statement that he
had as yet had no call from Vir-
ginia to take advantage Of 1881
Federal road funds amounting to
$2,379, ,788 already made available
to the State, and would, of course,
be glad to know what progress was
made in this most important arm
of relief.
Explaining that all programs on
which such money is to be spent
must first be approved by the Fed
eral Government, Governor Pol
lard said two projects were placed
before the Federal Bureau Of Pub
lie Roads on october 9 and 10,
and are now awaiting approval.
One of these asked $57 ,465 on a
road from Alexanders Corner to
Bowers Hill, in Norfolk county,
and the other $36,318.10 to aid in
building four miles of macadam
road on the Valley Pike between
Mount jackson and Woodstock.
On receipt of Federal approval for
the projects, the governor added,
the Virginia Highway Commission
will Immediately proceed.

FIREMEN SEEK
PAID DRIVER

HYATTSVILLE, Nd, Oct. Is.
The employment of a chief ma
chinist and driver for the local
fire department is being consid-
cred by the mayor and common
council here.
A resolution to consider this
appointment was recently adopted
by the town council after a re-
quest had been received from
members Of the fire department
that one Of their group be hired
for the job.
The lack Of competent drivers
for the fire engines during the
past few months has resulted in
unnecessary expenditure for re-
pairs, it was pointed out at the
council meeting. Reports were
received from the department
members that inasmuch as they
are all volunteer members, very
little of their time can be given
to repairs on the engines and
fire equipment, making it i'm
perative that a man be hired
to care for the apparatus. Coun-
Gilman Cover, president Of the
fire board committee, declared in
the recent meeting that to place
such a man in the firehouse for
eight hours during the day would
be beneficial to the welfare Of all
local citizens.
A division on the solution Of
the problem led Mayor H. r.
Willis to postpone a vote by the
council until tomorrow night.
