OF FIRE WARDENS.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Mar. 8, 1870.
IT, the Honorable
the City Council of Alerandria:
In accordance with the act under which the
Board of Fire Wardens were elected, we pre-
sent our fourth annual report.
The bills approved for the past year ending
to-day amount to S2,8 / SO, being S72S.l7 over
the total expens es for tho year previous. Thi;
increase i; occssioned by tho expenditure o
1888 o. for new hose for the steam fire engine
If this purchase had not been made, the tota
OK penses would have been $l,9i6 81, or $3.50. 81
less than the year previous. We annex state
ment in detail.
During the past year we have had the Friend
ship engine repaired, and transferred 200 feet OF
small hose from the steamer to the Friendship
by this means adding the services Of another
engine to the department.
The apparatus in charge Of oil the compan-
les is now in good working order. We're it not
for the we'll. known financial condition of the
city, we would recommend the purchase Of
another steamer for the upper section Of the
city and then dispense with tho present hand
engines, believing that this change would rem
der the department far more effective than at
present.
The Board will be pleas sd to impart any fur
Their information to your honorable body that
may be required.
We think the thanks Of our citizens are due
to our fremen for their effective services dur
ing the year just ended.
Signed on behalf of the Board of Fire War
Iens: 3. WHEAT, President.

A, L. & H. r. RAT a meeting Of the Ci-

Tuesday last, Mr.. Taylor presented the follow
Jog communication from Mr.. Mckenzie, Pres.
ident of the Loudoun and Hampshire Road ::
This road has authority to issue $1,000, 900
of bonds, but has issued and sold in all SIS, 900
at 50 cents $1,000 at IS cents. 3
Anybody who asserts that any have been
sold for less lies. That is perhaps the mildest
term that ought to be used. The road has
so far cost about 50, 600, 900, and 10 addition to
these bonds sold owes about sl5G,000 This
is the position Of the company Cost so far,
$4,000, 900; debt, $3.50. 900,
A charter has been obtained from West Vir.
ginia Of the most liberal character; authority
to 90 through the State by the best route 10
the Ohio river; no taxation until the stock
pays 10 per cent. dividend authority for all
the counties to subscribe $780, 900 each au
thority to receive donations 10 land; to buy
lands and to do whatever may be necessary for
the successful prosecution OF the work. The
route so far located is most favorable, showing
that the Ohio river can be reached by this route
from Washington in 335 miles; from Washing
ton to Cincinnati, ATS miles; from Washington
to Chicago, 720 miles; from Washington TO
Memphis, $50 miles and that it is the short.
est route to the National Capital by any built or
projected road. Authority given to give road
a national name worthy of its character -
Washington and Ohio Railroad. Our maps
are in course of preparation, and will suhstan-
tate what we say.
This road is not moonshine project. What
the road will cost it is not possible to say
perhaps SIS, 000 900, Of which $4,000 0O as
before stated, is spent. We are not begging
Washington 10 do anything. We think it is
their interest to cooperate. They can very
readily subscribe $l,000,000; but we do not
ask the million to spend that, and then ask
for more, but they can pay $40, 900 or $4,000
per mile, just as We agree, and we don't
ask for more. The parties in interest expect
to consummate this great work They are
neither fools or idiots, and We spprchend the
good sense of the substantial people of Wash.
ington will induce them to cooperate, and
that the City Council Of Washington, after
the necessary authority it asked for and OF
tanned from Congress, will readily co operate
with this company.

historian, that all "test oaths" are but the COM
mands of folly and wickedness and that they
form insurmountable barriers which prevent
conscientious and honest men from being placed
in positions to serve their country, and at the
same time admit to power, and salary, with
frightful facility, all those who ouly want Office
and care not by what means they can secure
