money in tn. State Treasury with which
20 pay such expense; that tho mourning
of such expense would occasion an IN
crease Of taxation for State purposes
from t{inety cents on tho 500 to one

there IL no necessity for said session OF
tho Legislature: that everything re-
CURED to DO done Immediately can
probably lie done without further an-
thority from the Legislature; that most
of IN. taxes due the county ~ city
have been paid. or will DO paid before
n relief could 10 given by the Legisla-
ture. IL any were desirable; that the
County Commissioners. with their
present means and powers. can DO every
thing necessary In respect to rebuilding
the Courthouse; that the matter OF
widening and opening streets, ~
thought. can 10 managed satisiactorily
by the city under its present
charter; that a plan has been Pre-,
posed. under which 1t Is believed
the city will speedily DO provided
with an ample supply OF water for the
e,tincui-hment Of fires, which plan Is
fully set forth In an agreement, copy

opinion OF your committee, the plan so
nroposel san and will be carried out In

nomicai and effective plan that can De
