The following resolution was moved by
Ayr Hoffman and seconded by Mr.. Gird:
Whereas it is declared by the first sec
ton of the act of Congress, entitled {" An
act to amend the charter Of Alexandria,
that none of the taxes On the valuation OF
real property which shall hereafter be
collected in the northern district, shall
be expended in the regulating, filling up,
paving or repairing of the streets or sink
ing ofwells, or building of bridges in the
southern district, nor shall the taxes OIL
the valuation Of real property which shall
hereafter be collected in the southern dis
trict, be expended in the regulating or ill
ling up, or paving or repaving the streets,
OF sinking of wells or building of bridges
in the northern district; but all the mo-
MES to be expended upon the aforesaid I'M
provements in either district shall be
raised by an assessment on the valuation
ofreal propertyin each district respective
iy, at the times and in the manner the
Common Council shall order or direct
And whereas the Common Council did,
by law passed on the 22d of June, 1910,
and approved by the Mayor, declare. that
the local taxes Oh the valuation OF real
property in each ward should be confined
exclusively to the improvements Of the re-
spsctive wards in which the said local tax
es were to be paid. And whereas the said
Com":on Council did, on the 13th of No
vember, 1910. pass a resolution. which
was not Submitted to the Mayor for his
consideration and concurrence, instruct
ing the Collector OF taxes to receive. with
out dis limitation, in payment of taxes
whether local or general, ali paper issued
by the corporation, whether i be ter @e-
neral or local purposes; and it appearing
under the force of the said order upwards
OF 1890 dollars Of the money belonging to
the general fund has been applied in pay
ment Of the local cXpences Of the town,
which said order OF the 18th Of Novem-
Der, 1910. does appear to the present
Council TO DC violation not only Of the
said first section OF the charter, but Of the
said law Of the Common Council Of the
ED June, fsiG.
Therefore ii is 1"esolvsd, That the said
resolution of the 18th November, 1910,
be reseindcd and repealed.
And on the question shall this rcsolu-
tion pass F? the yeas and nays were as fol-
lows:

Muncaster, Harper, Grid, Anderson, lee
and Rhodes.
