in order to bring them within the amount
of the estimated receipts. and this with
out increasing or diminishing the floating
debt OF $3.50, 600. He referred TO some Oh
the practices which had been carried on
in the city government for years. and
until the adoption of the budget for 1891
Captain Mccarthy asserted that the en-
tire floating debt was due 10 this sort OF
"buncong" the city. He said that these
practices were simply high-handed and
unauthorized conduct on the part of some
of the city officers, and, continuing
added:
THE bringing forward OF unexpended
balances and the closing of balances in
excess of appropriations authorized by
the budget of 1896 caused an ostensibe
appropriation of 1893, $40 to become an
actual appropriation of $l39o,970 by the
addition of S9i 1855 of balances brought
forward. TO say nothing of the balances
in excess of appropriations closed by the
same authority.
"rhe action OF the Council in elimi-
mating from the budget of 1897 the clause
authorizing balances TO be brought for
ward. or closed, as the case might be,
certainly cut out 81 coo of balances, which
it was proposed TO bring forward, in ad-
dition to the amount in the budget and
also prevented the Closing OF oVeruIdHil
balances, amounting to about S36VOJ.'
The committee returned to the con-
sideration of the motion of Mr.. Roun-
tree, who eliminated the 100000 estimate,
and the motion was adopted.
Mr.. Noble presented a resolution, re-
questing the Clerk of the House of Dele
gates to furnish the City Clerk with in
formation as to laws passed by the
Legislature and affecting the city OF
Richmond. This was adopted and after
some further discussion the committee

A JOINT USE OF TRACKS.
subcommittee Recommends This as
to Lcmbardy-Street Line.

There was a meeting Of the sub-com-
nittee appointed By the Committee on
Streets TO look into the expediency of
granting the petition of the Richmond
Railway and Electric Company for per-
mission to construct a double-track line
along Lombardy street, from Main 10
Broad. and out Broad, to connect with
it's Hermitage-road line, extending 10
Lakeside Park, which is now in course OF
construction. Those present were CHAIR
man Foster and Messrs. Carter. Pollock,
Burton, and John j. King, of the sub
committee; Captain Andrew Pizzini, Jr..
and Captain 4. i. GuigOn. representing
the Richmond Railway and Electric Com
pany. and Mr.. Phil. b. Sheild, generai
counsel for the Richmond Traction Com
pany.
The petition of the old company was
read. and there was q general discus
sion of the merits of the petition. Cap
tain Pizzini explained the plans of the
company for transporting passengers
from the Main-street line out to Lake
side Park and that Vicinity and Mr.. Pol
lock argued that It would be great corr
venience for the citizens on Main street,
or i'm Fulton, who wished to go out to the
baseball park or Lakeside, to have trans
fer facilities.
SHOULD FORCE TRANSFERS.
Mr.. Carter thought that the sub-com-
mittee should do nothing in this matter
until proper arrangements for transfers
had been entered into by the two COM
NAMES lie offered a motion TO this ell
feet, but it was defeated.
Mr. Pollock said he was heartily IN
favor of a general transfer system. and
said that he would offer a resolution
before the Committee on Streets at its
next meeting which he thought would re-
suit I'm such a system. He then offered
the following resolution, the object or
which was to grant the petition OF the
company on Lombardy street and aiio"
n common use of the tracks from Main
and I,ombardy to Broad street and the
Hermitage road.
Resolved. That il IS the sense OF the SUB
committee to which was referred the
question of the Lombardy-street route
that il would be TO the interest or the
citizens generally TO permit the Richmohd
Railway and Electric Company 10 con-
strict its double-track lines along Lonl-
hardy street. from Main street TO Broad
street and then to connect with the lihes
NJ the Richmond Traction Company. and
that ~ he allowed to traverse the lines
Of said Traction Company between LON
hardy street and the Hermitage road. in
order for said Main-street line TO connect
with the Hermitage-road line, now under
construction, and the right to use SAID
I.onbardy-street line is hereby granted
to the Richmond Traction Company, 70
