JAMES RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Nh starHe, from the Committee on the
report. Since their report in May last they
have visited the work in body, and as in
dtdual members have continually over
looked the work us opportunity afforded,
and the conduct and management of the
whole Improvement, say the committee, is
all that lis friends could reasonably expect.
On the 2lth instant they held a meeting for
thcpurpoSe of receiving the report Of the Ec-
glnccr, At which meeting, on the part of the
committee. were present T. W. McCance,
Isaac Davenport, Jr., K. Z. BlankenShip,
GcO.gc ". Allen; and on the part Of
the Council Committee, T. H. Wynne, J. E.
BossicGX, and p. II. S!arke; and after care
fully examining the Engineers report and
fully discussing its merits did resolve that
the members of the Council committee be
requested to state to their body that the
Omission to make monthly reports has grown
oilt 0l the fact that their attention had not
been called TO the provisions of the ordi-
nance requiring such reports, but that they
thhS the spirit Of The ordinance has been
substantially complied with in the reports
heretofore made, for these reports say
that the work in the months to come
viii be Of the same kind as that
IN the time past, and that the amount
Likely to be needed could only be loosely ap-
proxmafed, as they depend mostly on repairs
necessary 10 be done on the machines. which
may be much or little, as accidents or extra
hard work may demand.
lhe appropriation has been reduced now
10 the amount OF about $4,000, whichis suf-
Ecient to run the work for the next seven or
eisht months. But Is the Council is now
ABOUT to make up its yearly budget of eX-
rensts, The committee request an appropria-1 /
non ol $1,000 for The coming year, which
VIII not he called for until the fall of the
year, Out should be included in the appro-
plaations about 10 be made.

'''n o' The following resolution:
