chances to invest capital.
He pointed TO the efforts Of the larger
cities In enlarging their territory. The

able to pay their w Ems All 1t
would cost the city of Norfolk to acquire
this territory is $500 u year for the
bridge n the enhanced valuation of
property would pay this several times
over.
Mr.. Tredwell wanted to know what
assurance the committee u tina the
bridge would cost only SlO0. 900.
Mr.. Goodridge stated hat the COM
mittee had every assurance that the
bridge could be built for that sum.
Mi. G. Bliven explained the cost Of
bridge building and said he believed
the bridge could be constructed within,
the sum named.
Mr.. Peelle said he did not believe
that 1t would be well to build u bridge
suited to the present needs of Norfolk
and Berkeley, but to put up one which
could be used all time.
The matter OF bridge building was dis
cussed at some length by several Of
the gentlemen present andl Mr.. Wrenn
suggested that II might be we'll to make
a stipulation that the city of Norfolk
should not pay more than $50. 600 to-
wards the cost of the bridge.
Mr.. Miller hastily arose and said the
Berkeley commiutee would accept the
stipulation.
Capt. Roper thought the bridge would
be a good business investment II 1t cost
as much as $3.50, 900. He did not believe
cred so much. He believed q Berkeley
should he annexed and offered n resolu>
ton authorizing the Finance Committee
and the City Attorney to 70 ahead and
prepare the annexation act n present
TO the Legislature.
The chair decided that the resolutions
could MT be acted upon in committee
OF the whole, but could be recommend
ed to the separate branches for action.
Captain Roper then offered n resolu-
ton in conformity with the ruling of
the chair, and a%ppr2ving the annexation
OF Berkeley.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.

The Common Council then met In sep
arate session and, the resolution from
the committee of the whole was read

in behalf of the bill.
MIR. Sheldon moved to give the chat
power to appoint five and to select them

tee will be appointed later.

An evidence of the striking uniform
ity of size among the japanese was
shown in the recent measurement taken
of an infantry regiment where there
recommendations exceeding two inches
in height or 20 pounds in weight.
Cockroaches are never willingly slain
by Cinnamon. They consider them sa-
cred insects, and think it portends i'll
luck to step on them. AS they never
make any effort to exterminate them,
the Chinese quarters are usually over
run with these pests.
"Our fathers" says Pliny, regarded
little dogs rs food so delicate that they
were frequently served as an expiatory
sacrifice. To-day, even, the flesh of
young dogs is served in banquets made
in honor of the gods." According to
Apicus, who has left to us curious
treatise on cooking, the Romans also
ate full-grown dogs, which they first
fattened.
