The widc-sprcading canvas; the tcnt-

Important Question with Regard TO tho
Taxation Of the Electric
IlaGt.

The Finance Committee Will soon haFc
an interesting matter before them.
It has already been brought tothe atten-
ton Of the members in an informal way
and as soon as al parties concerned ere
ready q hearing will be had IN a secret ses-
SION Of the committee.
Some time ago. when sending ont blanks
for property TO be listed for taxation,
Commissioner-of-thc Muniord
sent them % the Virginia Elcctnc-Llcht
and Power Company 60 DE filled ana re-
turned 20 the office as prescribed hy law.
At the expiration OF the time allowed,
aud after the COmmisslOnrr had CORE
suoudod with officials Of thc light COM
uanv in this city. the returns were etill not
made. and armed with legal authority MT:
Muuford proceeded 10 make Naiuation ot
the plant Hc enlisted the services ot
City-Eugiuccr Cut-haw. aud the two oiti-
Cial, after au examination 0r the property,
put ITS valuation at ~200.0O1.
subsequently, the original blanks were
sent ~ New York and some gentleman con
nectcd with the company returned th'm
20 the Commissioner with the property
rated 40 $4,000.
Commissioner Munford was unwilling TO
accept the latter as anything like iair
estimate of the worth of the plant, c-pc-
c.ally as the law provides That the blanks
shall he filed bv the chief accounting
officer Of the company where such hu7i-
