CITY COUNCIL.

The City Council held q regular session last
night, the President, Mr.. Burke, in the chair
Mr.. Tams, from the Committee on Public
Roads and Buildings, reported adversely on
the application of parties to rent the Armory
room in the city hall, as 1t will probably be
required for the offices of City Treasurer and
Commissioner of the Revenue. He reported
favorably OH the application of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association for the
Council Chamber in which to hold the meet
1ngs of that Association. Both reports were
agreed to-
Under the resolution of the council request
ing the President to correspond with the OIL
yer Chilled Plow works (Which has been here
tofore reported,) the correspondence Was sub
miited read and ordered to be filed. The
President iresen ted the advantages this city
afforded for the location of the works and the
enterprises of that company in a clear, vigo-
rous, and forclble manner, eliciting a reply
which expressed very high appreciation of
the courtesy and favor received through him
from the City of staunton.
A Communication was received from the
Mayor calling attention to the insufficiency
of the ordinances under which "dogs are taxed
to go at large" 1t is estimated that there are
at least 500 dogs in the city and that the streets
are infested with them, but it appears that
only 35 owners of dogs have paid the tax, and
that only that number had the privilege of
running at large. The Mayor s'ys the ordi-
nance, as 1t now stands, is "a farce and a hum
bug" Amendments are recommended, and.
II not made, he recommends its repeal in toto.
On motion of Mr.. Gooch, the communica-
tion was referred to the committee for the
purpose of reporting ordinances conforming
to the views of the Mayor.
On motion of Capt. Berkeley, the following
resolution was adopted
Resolved, That in view of the large expendi-
ture Incurred by the city in remOdelins the
Opera House the manager be instructed in
TIE future not to rent the said house or allow
1t to b. used TO- any political purpose what
ever or f VI other free entertainments without
special permission OF the Council.
Capt. Marquis, from the street committee.
reported the arrival of the necessary lumber,
and that the repairs (bridging the walk.way)
along Water street would be commenced to-
day.
The Council then adjourned.
