| = : Intending the Corporate Limifs-At the next
meeting of the Council resolution will be offerai
requesting the appointment of committee, COM
posed of members and citizens to memorialize tho
Legislature for proper extension of the corporate
limits of the city of Richmond. In anticipation of
this result the citizens of Henrico county ha we al
ready taken action to resist the application, and
| their committee are now ready to show to the
| General Assembly the reasons which govern them
| in their course sss~
It's no. now our intsntion to Join either side in
the controversy which has been carried on tor two
or three years past between the friends and oppo-
nents of the extension, but to give briefly, the
| sons which seem TO actuate both parties in their
course.
The people of Henrico oppose the extension, be-
cause they arc unwilling to be saddled with any
| portion of tho existing debt of Richmond, which
| they have had voice in creating-because the
| heretofore proposed extension would take of q
large and valuable portion of their tax-payipg
| property-and because, by taking off so much Of
| their tax paying property, the county tax would
have to be greatly increased and thereby rendered
| onerous in order to keep mp the roads, bridges,
poor house, etc., of the county, the cost of doing
| which would not be diminished by the cxtepsion.
These they think. are sufficient reasons for their
opposition, aud win spare efforts to convince fhe
| Legislature that they are such as should induce
| them to reject the application for an extension
/ The friends of the measure, on the other mana,
| take the broad ground that ~ tha suburbs enjoy
| an the benefts Of the internal Improvements for
which the city debt has been created II Is but just
aud fair that they should aid in bearing the bur
thens-that the present limits are too small for the
| great city which Richmond Is destined to be-anA
that the Legislature should grant the petition, and
| thereby assist in building up the Metropolis OF the
1 state They do not design asking to have the linn
its extended TO All unreasonable extent but TO just
such points as the Legislature, in its wisdom, may
/ deem actually necessary. Nor do they desire TO
fas,en upon the suburbans the present debt OF the
city, but to apply every dollar Of taxes receives.
from them to the Improvement Of their s.ruets, and
to the extension Of gas and water into their midst
for tae next ten years. by which time the various In
/ ternal Improvements In whieh the city IL now 9
large stockholder. will be paying dividends suth
ceny large TO auidato tho liabilities for them .,
| they become due. The friends OF the extenssof
declare that they do not design 70 JOIN the suburb
ans to make them AID In bearing their burthens, hu
