DOG IN rHEMAuGKR POLICY

II is sometimes charged that our CITY Couu.
ellis are century or two behind the times aud
legislate upon important city improvements
mainly upon the theory of How Not To Do

occasionally their style of doing business fur

Such was the legislation of the lower Board
on Monday night upon the bill permitting the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Rail-
road Company to lay track along Water street
from 9Th street 10 eth street, whereby they
could make railroad connection for their pas.
sengeis and do away with the delay and in con-
venience Of omnibus connection. For this
privilege they offered to build at their own ex-
pense a substantial sea-wan along that entire
line Of river front, aud to fill up and build a
well made street and to keep the same in re.
pair. The sole return they asked for this heavy
outlay was the privilege. above stated, of
using the street for the conveyance of their
passengers by rail to connect with the Seventh
street railway.
So apparent were the advantages to the civ
of having this great improvement done with
out expense TO II, (and which in the impoyer.
isbed state OF the city's finances might not
otherwise be done for years. that it passed the
