Code of Criminal Procedure of 1878,
and finally the present Code OF
Virginia of 1887. There have been
several other compilations-Henning's
Statutes at Large. Matthew's Digest,
and others of less importance ; but at no
period has any attempt been made to
change the common-law declarations,
pleas, r~ule-days, and numerous useless
forms The Code Of Virginia of 1887 IS
good 20 far as the statutory law of the
State is concerned. The ~revisers did
their work well, but they hadno authorl-

procedure. These should be abolished,
and the machinery of iusticeca be much
simplifed by the adoption of a code Of
civti procedure such as is used in q
majority of the States. The cost to
the State OF making this change will be
very small. The California Code, which
is almost the perfection OF human
wisdom, can be taken as the model

praying for a sidewalk on north side
of Mill street, from Prospect street to

said that special meeting would be
held next week and suggested that the
matter be laid on the table until that
time, and let Mr.. .Stillson investigate
it more fully, which was done.
The report of the Committee ap.
pointed to consult with the Gas and
Electric Light Co., relating to pur-
chasing its Electric Light plant, was
next called for and the Mayor said the
committee had met Messrs. Seymour,
Holcomb and Linton, constituting the
G. & E. L. committee, but they made
no proposition to the city, and gave its
representatives no satisfaction what
ever. They said they were willing to
do what was right, and were asked to
make an offer to the City, stating their
price for the Electric light plant, and
the two committees adjourned to meet
again for that purpose. At their next
meeting Mr.. Seymour sent in q writ
ten proposition offering the Gas and
Electric Light plants for $50. 900, spec
flying the terms of payment.
Merits said he could see no objection
to purchasing the two plants II the
price was not too high.
Mayor thought the CO.did not expect
anywhere near $50 900, but waDted to
accustom Council to the idea of buying
both plants, and would then make q
reasonable offer. He thought it policy
to own both plants, but not policy TO
pay $50, 900 for them.
Council seemed to be of the opinion
that it had not been treated we'll by
the Gas Co, which was expected to
meet its committee with q bona fide
intention of negotiating fair price for
the one plant. The Mayor reminded
them that they could cause an election
to be held in case of q failure to agree
on terms with the Co., and IL the peo-
pie said so, issue bonds and construct
their own plant.
After discussing the matter at consid-
erable length the Council adjourned
to convene at call of Mayor.
