ITargrove to take the chair. made quite a
lengthy speech. in which he stated that he
admired in man consistency, and in legis-
lative body. after careful consideration Of all
the points pro and con- position once taken
should be maintained. Some of the
members OF the Board had suggested doing
something and showing the public
that they had done something. Such
remark were arehection on the members ofthe
Board, for they certainly had done
something, for at three different times they
voted IN favor of one site. He did not intend
10 discuss the action of the other branch Of
the Council, who At three different times had
voted FOR three different sites But he did
not see why concessions should be made by
thc Board of Aldermen When the
site IN The rear Of the ,almshouse was being
discussed. not single owner Of adjacent
properly had raised any objection. as had
been done during the consideration Of the
other sites. II il was possible 10 deposit the
garbage and other refuse in the county. the
CITY would certainly not have 20 go TO the er
pense OF erecting crematory. However, 1.-THE
attempt was made BY some Richmond people
% impress the members Of the Council with
the necessity Of looking after their inierestsin
Henrico county. The crematOTy would not
be anuisance. The city ordinances imposed
fines on the individuals who erected nui-
sance. and the City Council certainly had no
right to do what private citizens were forbid

Colonel Cary thought that between the
almehOuse site and the one on st. Paul street
tho latter was tho most desirable one.
Mr. Iurpin took up Mr.. Dickinson. and
stated that lie was opposed to being conss-
tent when the aspect WAS changed by the
bringing up OF the additional points He
WAS m favor OF the ST. Paul street site be-
cause the city would get more valuable lot
IN exchange for the lot on buchanan street.
u this ste was agreed on the city would GER
tainly not losel anything, and tho construc-
ton or the cTcmatOry on the new site would
lie much cheaper than the one on the aims
house site, Tor the reason that il would not be
necessary 20 construct a high smoke stack,
whereby a sum Of g. 900 could be saved.
Mr. Taylor thought with Mr., Dickerson that
consistency was a jewel, and he always pre-
ferred an open enemy 10 bush whacker lie
could not SEQ why the Board should discrimi-
nate between the " lite and black residents
Of Jackson ward OF any other part of the city
IN favor Of the landsharks who had
gone u Chelsea Hill and Barton Heights
only for one purpose-t0 make money. II
this WAS the rich mans Council he would
Ike 20 know il. In his opinion the poor man
was entitled 10 Just as much consideration as
the rich man. lie would not give three cents
fOr ono ofthOse wishy- washy inconsstentmen.
When he made up his mind 10 vote on sub
Ject, he was not afraid to let the people know
on which side he stood Tie great trouble
was with some If the members OF the Council
they never knew where they stood and were
changing their opinions all the time.
o. THE TABLE.
The motion # Colonel Cary, to lay the reso-
luton ia regard 20 the selection OF the site on
81. Paul street. was then laid on the table by
the following vote

Carter. Gary. CrenshhW. HargTOve. Hughes.

Colonel Cary hen offered resolution 10 DO
adopted by the Board Of Aldermen the Com
mon Council concurring). that committee
of three members of tho Board Of Aldermen
and five members If the Common Council be
appointed, who should confer with the Com
mttee on Health and the Board on the selec-
ton Of u site for the crematory, and report
back 70 either house.
POINT OF ORDER.
Mr. Turpin arose 10 a point Of order and
stated that Colonel Carys motion was ont Of
order for the reason that there WAS no disa-
greement. and a conference committee as
provided for in rule 70 was therefore, unnec-
essary. The other branch had passed reso-
luton which the Board refused T. agree to at
the last meeting. Since then that vote had
been recOnsidered, and now the matter was
neither rejected nor adopted He thought
that the matter should first be rejected before |
a conference committee could be asked for.
The ChairIuied Mr. Turpin ont Of order.
and the latter gentleman Appended from the
decision Of the Chair. but the Chair was .us-
tanned by the Board in Ais decision. The re-
solution providing for a conference commit
tee was then adopted without dissenting
vote, and the meeting adjourned
The resolution Will now go 20 the Common |
Council. and If concurred in by that body and |
approved by Mayor Elyson the joint COM
mi'tee can be appointed
President Campbell of the Common Coun- |
Gil. who was present at last evenings meet
ing. instructed City Clerk August 10 send out
