any part Of which, is to be constructed in
or near the city, or which connects with 4
road leading to the city" etc. This sec
ton still remains unrcpcalcd, and the Pre-.
sident was of the opinion that the Council
could oct under either Of these clauses,
and therefore thought that it had better
be referred to committee, which could
decide.
The matter was referred to committee
Of five, consisting of Mcssrs. Saunders,
Smith, Lee, August, and Taylor.
Colonel Cabcll was granted permission
to address the Council upon the subject of
the petition, and, after explaining several
matters in connection with it, requested
that the Council send a committee to the
White Sulphur to represent the body in
the convention at the White Sulphur
Springs.
This request was accecded to, and COM
mittec of six, composed Of the following
named gentlemen, appointed Mcssrs.
Saunders, Styll, Crutchtield, Smith, Au-
gust, and CIopton.
Upon motion the committee was in
creased to nine, and Messrs. Maury, llar
vey, and Taylor, were added. Mr. Morton,
the Chamberlain, was appointed rs sccre-
tary Of the committee.
1t was the general wish that Mr. Mac
farlond should go along IS the chairman Of
the committee, but that gentleman re-
grctted that his engagements We're such as
to deprive him Of that pleasure.
EJu1ucp,
Mr.. Saunders, from the Committee on
Finance, presented its report. a number
Of private petitions were acted upon, and
an ordinance upon the subject OF the fees
for collecting the city taxes, placing them
at one and quarter per cent. on the
whole amount collected, was reported with
the Recommendation that it be adopted.
The committee also reported upon the re-
solution directing them to inquire into the
cxpcdicncy of increasing the salaries OF
the city officers that they deemed it in
cXpcdicnt at the present time to lcgi>latc
upon the subject.
The ordinance recommended by the
committee was, under a suspension Of the
