ALEXANDRIA. January &C. 1884.
General ". {. Utckhdm, chairman Finance
Committee:
Dear Strive have thought It best to put before
your committee more fully our proposition mem
to wit: We will fond $1,000 of Virginia 1910
coupon bonds into the new Virginia 3's If the
state will pay rs par for, say, sg,5uO lO-4O past
due coupons due prior to July, les2 Ihese same
coupons were rendered by us tor taxes In Novem-
her. 1882, in the counties Of LOudoun. talIfaN'
Fauquer, Alexandria city and county, IN
conformity with the law then EXISTING. In con- on.
Court of Appeals If every case that mas beel
brought before his court has not been decided
unanimously i'm favor of the coupons being legal
lender for taxes rendered prior to December =.
1882. Now. all We ask is 20 he put upon the same
footing in the house Of our friends' ana we
will. in addition. surrender 100000 Of debt 10 the
good old Commonwealth forever. All we require
is that when so surrendered IT shall be cancelled
and bctted out forever. II we should sell these
coupons We could not realize at present To-Day
more than So, or perhaps little more. But
they are fundlble in the new Virginia IS at par
with A per cent. interest due January l. 1851
but they would 20 into channels That woutd
eventually find their way into the state Treasury
al par, and the $4,000 which We propose to give
the state would SUI he standng rs GEM , que ht
with all their coupons receivable Tor taxesl by
the state. We make this argument to save you
the trouble we think 1t spe Ks for itself ana re-
Guires no reflection 10 comprehend It's iiDerallty
