venton and last be re-
viewed by committee. They also reported twelve new
propositions. and recommended that each proposition
be referred to o separate committee Of five. with In
sructOns to report at this meeting Tho titles OF these
propositions will be given the reports made or as
the discussions Committees then appointed
to consider the various topics reported.
Topic No. was then taken up for discussion, namely
Does the existence Of any direct acting service system
Justify reliance upon that system alone for the extln
gushuent OF hres without the ald or auxary moFaoe
freengnesf
Mr.. starkh OF Tennessee wished to hear about the
Holly system Mr. Gibson Of Rochester stated that his
CITY had the largest Holly Works in Two weeks ago
at fire two miles from the works, five two and half
inch knocked shingles OF the roof of the builds
Ing nThe works could send water through forty miles
OF pipe, and the speaker expressed himself very much
10 favor OF the system but even though pipe was ad
all the city he would not dispense with other 1re
apparatus. the Holly Works might got out Of order
like fre-eDgine.
Mr.. Hongsworth OF Evansville said they had been
using the HOLY three with perfect success
t has accomplished all claimed for It, and the people OF
detraet from the merits Of steam reengnes, but he
thought the Holly system fully as good He would not
however dispense with their steam re-engines although
they had not used them for several years.
Mr.. Henmuler OF Columbus, Ohio said they had used
the Holly system for years. but had little faith In It,
When they had 40 miles OF pipe laid two streams could
not be thrown over fourstOry building. When they
put sufficient pressure to throw our.st0ry
building the pipes burst. He thought. however, that
the system might for towns Of from eight to ten
thousand Inhabitants.
Mr.. Keevi OF Norfolk. Va said that the Holly system
filled the bill in hts city but their engines always
kept In running order Mr.. McFadden OF Memphis Op-
posed the Holly system. Mr. Hartley Of COvington
thought the HOLLY SYSTEM the best in the world but
never needed. Mr.. Williams Of Newport opposed the
Holly system, and said he had little AmOskeag engine
which could throw single stream IS feet higher than
the CovingtOn Holly Works. The subject was then re-
ferred to Committee, were also Topics Two, Three,
and Four.

A Through Express from Richmond 10

As there may be possibly some misappre.
MISUNDERSTANDING the position OF the bu>i-
ness men OF Richmond relative TO a through
express from RichmoEd to Tennessee on the
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad. we
therefore desire to be heard on subject
yitaIy affecting Our interests, and, we con-
cciye. the interests Of our friends in South
west Virginia, as also the welfare and conye.
nence Of the public.
1t Is not matter recently come to light
and to the knowledge Of any of us, that
there have been and now are delays, cmbar.
rassments, and expenses in forwarding mer.
chanlisc and having business transactions
generally at extra speed, called express, from
Richmond along the Atlantic, Mississippi
and Ohio railroad.
The public have felt it, but the business
men have suffered from it as a grievance
small losses have been sustained, and large
ones, and the desirable trade of Southwest.
ern Virginia, often preierring Richmond as
q market for the purchase of goods and sale
of produce, has been turned away from this
city to seek the adequate facilities of trans
portation afforded in ether directions, out
side of the State generally.
The difficulties that We have to contend
VI I'LL III ny Apl llolu
OIL and by the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
railroad consist in deteutions in Petersburg,
Lynchburg, and Burkevile; failure to col
lect on delivery preparing treights in Rich.
mond paying two eXpresses-one at the
shipping point and the other at the point OF
delivery, and, if c. o. d. package, third
payment on handing us the collected money
in Richmond; want OF facilities for the in.
tercbange of currency between banking in.
stitutions. Then there are articles com.
PEELED to 60 by mail, for speed, at high rates,
and printed matter has to be divided into
twenty-ounce packages even to use this Inc.
dunn.
Resulting from this state of things we find
Richmond product is shipped to Knoxville,
Tenn, via Atlanta, Ga. Packages are either
sold for freight or returned at the expense
Of the shippers. A stranger to the trade de-
string Richmond article cannot obtuin it C.
0. D. Cash has to be advanced on freight.
Parties having paid one express charge are
unwilling to pay IA second. The mail be-
comes the only reliable carrier, at high rates,
and with divisible parcels.
We deem it proper to state that inasmuch
as we have not enlisted ourselves in behalf
of either the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
railroad or the Southern Express Company,
and as we have no interest in either other
wise than as common carriers, we believe we
could judge them fairly, or any other party
seeking our transportation. We wish good,
reliable carrier, and for the services Of sucn
an one We are willing to award fair conn.,
pensation.
The business men Of the city have too
much to do with the advancing material and
commercial Interests Of this State, now and
Tor the future, TO be shut out from any por-
lion OF legitimate trade by Chinese wall.
Virginia expects Richmond to bear the bur-
then of an unjust and unequal taxation, and
