The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-12-14
proposed to raise from $4,000 to $4,000 to
add IN thie fund

stiles OF the Fire Department, and the i'm.
p0rtance Of buying q new steamer and thor
Oughly equipPiDg the department. He had
been convinced Of this recently.
MIR. Crump said that he feared Mr.. Dick
erson would not vote Tor the appropriation
on account OF the proposed location OF the
armory. He knew that Church Hin was
not interested to any great extent IN the
military, but he assured Mr.. Dickerson
that he and his constituents would be pro-
tected by the First regiment II he voted for
this location.
DR.. Cabel thought the armory ought not
TO be erected west OF the Ciiy-Hal lot, and
therefore he was opposed TO the scheme.
DIR. Wexford disagreed with DR.. Cabell
He thought that a location within three or
four squares OF the centre Of the city-and
the City-HalI lot seemed TO be regarded as
The centre OF the city-would not be oljec-
tionable.
Mr. Crensbaw inquired whether the lot
had not been selected by the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings, and'not by the mill
tary committee. e.a.--..t
The Chair replied that the lot was one Of
three suggested.
Mr.. Williams gave various reasons why
| il would be wise TO select this lot and make
the appropriation.
Mr.. Todd inquired what vote would be
required.
The Chair answered, Two thirds-twelve
affirmative votes.
Mr.. Todd remarked that he supposed the
chairman Of the Finance Committee saw bis
way 10 raise the money without issuing
bonds, and therefore he was the more will
ing to vote on it. He regarded tiie location
as about central, and from finan sial point
of view an economical measure.
Mr.. Barksdale advocated the measure;
but he regretted there were no estimates
furnished as to the cost VI the armory, aud
The only fear he had, like Mr.. Todd, was
that more money would be reqused from
the city. He would prefer to cast his vote
for $4,000 II that be necessary. He only
regretted that the committee had not car
ried the subject further and broushs in pro-
per estimates.
Mr. Bass stated that the armory would
cost $4,000, and that the regiment could
raise the necessary funds over and above
the amount asked for.
DR.. Wexford presented a resolution as
an amendment 10 the report aDDrOprating
S12,JOO TO buy the lot and $1,000 to erect
the building, and authorizing the Finance
Committee 10 raise the funds by means
other than issuing bonds, the city to be re-
ieved from any further expenditure in
| the matter.
Mr.. Barksdale stated that the regiment
would not ask for the building fund until
the regiment had raised enough above the
s.. 800 10 complete the building.
The amendment proposed by DR.. Well
| ford was agreed to.
The resolution, as amended, was adopted
| BY the following vote:
AYEs.-Messrs. Barksdale. Rass, Cren.haw,
| Crump, Gass.r, Gray. Rankin. Smith, Toh, Wag-
| per, Wexford, aud William.-l2.
| NoEs.-NesSrs. Cabe, Dickerson, Kelly, and
| Scott-4.
| PIRE-ALARM SERVICE.
Mr.. Williams presented an ordinance 10
prevent telephone. or telegraph-wires from
being stretched across the iire-alarm wires,
and to make the tire-alarm service more per-
feet. The ordinance imposes tine OF not
less than $40 nor more than Sl0S for its
