STREET QUESTIONABLE meeting of the
city council held yesterday afternoon, a
communication was received from the
counsel of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad company, reviewing
the action of the city authorities in relation
to the propulsion by steam Of engines on
Broad street by said company, and the
aspect of the question now presented being
in the circuit court on an appeal from
Justice Whites decision their determine
ton of testing the matter to its fullest ex-
tent per agreement with the council, &c.
In view of these facts and the probability
that the matter could not reach and be
disposed of in the supreme court for some
months to come, they asked that the pro-
vision be made suspending the operation
of the existing ordinance until the case
could be decided. On motion, an ordi-
nance was adopted suspending the opera
ton of the present ordinance for four
months from January 80, 1874.
