Action Thereon Deferred for Awhile
Cases in the Courts-Personai and

Richmond and Manchester Railway Com

the request of the company, provided the
rails be removed il the Committee on
Streets or the Counal shall so order.
The Broach claim, which is for nearly
$40. and grew out OF the grading o,
Semmes street, was again taken up Tor

the Council and the committee for several
months. and it seems very difficult to
reach satisfactory solution OF the pro-
bem. After a prolonged informal debate,
in which the City Engineer was heard, u
was decided, on motion OF Dir. Utz, 10 al
journ over until Thursday night. when
Messrs. Bradley. Jones. and Beattie, who
were members of the Street Committee at
the time that the work was done, VIII be
asked TO explain the matter as they under
