Meeting OF tho city Council.

The City Council met in regular semi
monthly session last evening. Considera-
able routine business was transacted.
In reference to the resolution referred to
the Finance Committee at the last meet
ing, requesting them to consider the pro-
prlety of releasing from taxation for Pc
Rod often years all new buildings and ma
chnery for manufacturing purposes, the
committee say: Recognizing the impor-
lance of affording every encouragement to
the manufacturing and commercial inter-
ests ofthe city, to their enlargement and
extension as sources to which its citizens
must mainly look for the prosperity of the
city and the enhancement of the revenue
Of their property of every kind, your COM
mttee would favor any practical scheme by
which all capital actively engaged in BUSH
ness would be either partially or entirely
exempted from city taxes, but at the pres
ent time it would result in inhicting an act
of extreme hardship on many, independent
ly of being in direct conflict with the con-
stitutional provisions of the State, which
requires taxes to be uniform. Your COM
mittee, therefore, ask to be relieved from
the further consideration of the subject"
On motion of Mr.. Scott, of Jefferson
ward, the subject was referred to the city
attorney for his legal opinion as to the
power OF the city to exempt any class from
taxation. Mr.. fsaacs introduced resolu-
ton requesting the city attorney to ascer-
tain how far the Council can legally exempt
whole or part of the capital actively en-
gagged in manufacturing and commercial
business in the city, which was adopted.
The Committee on the Fire Department
asked and obtained an appropriation of
400 to pay the following on the LIST of
January, 1878: Quarterly pay roll of
firemen, $500; monthly pay roll of
stationary men, 81 loo; current bills (esti-
mattel, $290-total, s4,1O0. Mr.. Talbot,
from the Committee Oh Fire Alarm and
Police Telegraph, presented a report re-
commenting the appropriation Of s400, to
meet current expense deficit and purchase
new battery material. Agreed to; appro.
priation made.
The following was offered by Mr.. Whit
lock:
Whereas this Council has learned with
regret that the Legislature of Virginia seri- |
ously entertain tho idea of purchasing the |
property known as the Bellona Arsenal,
with the view ofremoving the Virginia Peni- |
tertiary thereto, and whereas we believe !
that the establishment of the Penitentiary |
at this point would result in vtiating the |
water to be supplied to the city, and there
fore destructive to the health and comfort |
of its citizens; therefore,
Resoired, That special committee of |
three members is hereby appointed to rep
resent to the Legislature, through our rep.
resentatives, or in some other manner, as
they may deem best calculated to be effec-
tive, the objection of this Council to the
location of the Virginia Penitentiary at the
point named.
Referred to the Committee on Water
Works, to report at next meeting of Coun.
Gil really whether the location of the Peni-
Tertiary at Bellona Arsenal would neces-
sarily vitiate the James river water.
