TWO-DAYS' SESSION, PROBABLY.
Lieutenant-Commande J. J. Williams
of Winchester, stated tonight that the
council would probably be in session two
days. as considerable time would be con-
sumed after the council was called to or
der in preliminary arrangements. He
said this would be the first meeting Of
the council. and as there were no rules
and regulations by which it could be
guided, in its proceedings there would
be many matters to be considered before
II could go into the business for which it
had been called.
1t has not yet been determined where
the sessions of the council will be held
The military companies of this city have
rendered the use Of their armory, and
Manager Wright. of the Hotel Carroll,
has offered the use Of his parlors, but
nothing definite will be agreed upon until
tomorrow. 1t is probable that the meet
ings will be neld in the city Council
chamber.
