MIR. SNowpEN,

eDgrOsseu LOT d UiIu TcduibS'
Mr.. SHowpEN,
perceive from late interesting re
port of the proceedings Of the Common
Council, that bill has been reported
and lies upon the table, to amend the
charter of the town. l am happy to learn
that the Common Council pusscss the
power to alter and amend the instrument
from which they derive their corporate
existence, and trust that the bill which
has been reported by their committee
will be found worthy of the independent
spirit which conceived it.
Amongst other Objectionable parts OF
the charter of the town as il now stands,
it is to be hoped that which requires the
proceedings Of the Common Council t.
b. published, will not be overlooked. The
knowledge of these proceedings is, gene
ally speaking, Of little or no Importance
to the citizens OF the town, and must GER
tain!y be of much less value to those
who live out OF it. To such persons it
cannot be very interesting to learn that
in the absence Of the President of the
Common Council of Alexandria Mr.. -
was called to the chair, and that after MIR
- had set there for few minutes, Mr..
President appeared, and Mr.. had to
resign his d. nity-that the superinten-
dent Of police was ordered to remove a
nuisance in street or in back yard
that tax OF one dollar was RENTED to
poor widow who was unable to pay it
or that the sum of 80 dollars was appro-
priated to the purchase Of a corporation
bull. There seems to me t. be no occa-
sion for stufing the public prints of the
town with such intelligence, to the ne
cessary exclusion of other matters of real
interest and importance; and l am sure
it would be generally pleasing to your
readers both in and out Of the town, if
the useless and ridiculous custom were a.
polished. The Laws enacted BY the Com.
mon Council ought certainly to be made
public, because every citizen Of the town
is concerned in understanding them but
the common orders and resolutions of
Council have no such claim to the public
notice, and therefore ought not to be OBJ
truded upon it. With these views, and
in the name and behalf Of great majo-
rity of your readers, ! submit through
you, sir, to the Common Council, the pro
priety and expediency of amending the
charter Of the town in this respect as well
as in others. Understanding that you
are printer to the corporation, should
not have solicited your agency in this
matter, were not wei assured, than an
exclusion of the proceedings Of the Com
mon Council wi enha rce the value aud
increase the patronage Of your paper.
