CONSOLIDATION.

II does seem . little strange. to say The
least, that after much talk and many
meetings on the subject Of Consolida-
ton. by the people at Virginia. the hard
studying and work Of those prominent
lawyers In the preparation OF ons bill.
and the subsequent brain-rsckine efforts
Of the Legislature in preparing and pass
ina an amended bill. all for oonsolida-
ton, that /, should prove to b faulty at
lsst-thst the desired and Effected esn.
solidation should prove to b not eonsol-
idatsd enough. But 90 Il seems seeord-
ing to legal opinions at Virginia City.
They say that the old Act Of 1864 grant,
ing certain privileges to the city Of Viz
ginia stands unrspsslsd. and there IL talk
Of the city officers still holding their
Offices. Notwithstanding the oonsolida-
ton, and there 10 also talk Of opposing
the turning over the city property to the
county. Virginia was foremost. and
always has been. for consolidation. and
nov she has got II. or hasn't. she doesn't
know which. Perhaps the trouble will
all work cut right in the end; Va
shall see. The Enterprise Of this morn.
ing has the following regarding 1t:
I. IL said that the trainers Of the new
Consolidation Act we're led into this erro'
througha blunder Of the compiler Of the
laws. who, In . noto ut tho bottom OF his
page, says the frst Act Was passed tthai
incorporating tho city, In 1865, therefore,
seeing this note, the trainers Of the new
Act went back NO further than 1865 10
their work Of repeating. Had they simply
inserted . clause repeating all Acts In con
fict with the Consolidation Act. they
would have made . clean sweep Of the
Act Of 1864 and all else.
Complications are also likely to arise,
Il IL said, in regard to the levying and col
lecting Of taxes. These will render the
whole business 90 intricate In Ito various
aspects and windings a. to bring on . ssrt
Of deadlock In the Affairs Of both city and
county. Also. II tho Consolidation Act
does not consolidate. the present city
officers will hold their places until theii
successors arc elected. which could not bt
for another year.
However, all these things depend upor
the legality Of tho new Act. and its legaiis,
depends upon whether or not 1t has 70
