street Committee 10 Award Contract
for Paving Hull street-Funcraf of
Mr.. Morris-whnt the Courts Are
Doing-PcrsonnIs and Briefs.
Mr.. MOrris-Wl

There will be n meeting OF the Street
Committee on Friday evening. in the
City Engineers office, when bids f'r
paving Hull street from Second to Fiji
teenth Will be received.
1t will be remembered that at the regu-
lar session of the City Council, in Janu-
airy, the Richmond Railway and Electric
Company presented a proposition for re-
paving the street a motion was then
made to reconsider the matter, at spe-
cial meeting. held two weeks ago. AT
this meeting II was decided not to ac-
cept the plans OF the railroad company,
and that the city undertake this work,
independent Of either the company's
money or consent 1t now seems that
the Council had looked forward to the
acquiescence OF the railroad people,
either to pave at their own expense, ana
| by their own men, the tracks OF ther
road; or else when the work had been
done. would make good a just portion
of the expense incurred. But IT seems,
as well, that the company positively re-
! fuse to do the former, and will not pay
a dollar on the latter expedient until
suit has been brought and judgment In
the city's favor rendered. The work Will
begin without delay.

firm will soon commence to Duild on
the opposite side Of the track from
Messrs Donnan 81 Co, and move their
establishment from Richmond. The citi-
| yens are glad to see wholesale firms
taking such an interest in this city. The
shipping facilities are exceptionally good
and convenient.
