A SOURCE OF INCOME.


Mr.. Boiling. on the other hand, con-
tended that the water used by the city
Tor which no charge was made, shouid
be taken into account, and considered
as a portion of her income. Mr.. Rountree
concurred in this idea.
Messrs. Allen. HARRISON and thinner
mann contended that TO make the NUM-
cipal departments pay for the water
used would not help the revenues at all
ana the former held that the only ques-
ton was not TO attempt TO raise the
charges for water, but TO keep them at
about the same ngLre.
MIR. Ebel SAID 1t seemed to him that the
discussion had proved that the city was
selling goods below cost. and it was being
zone at the expense Of other departments
and of the citizens of Richmond. The
heads of departments were able and eff
cient, he said, but their estimates had
been based on false ideas.
"If gas or water cost more than we
charge for them" he SAID why should
we not demand that the products bring
IN what they cost? II we don't do this
we will be bankrupt or have to raise
taxes. The interests of the taxpayers
demands that things should be paid for
according to cost. No enc can say tnat
we are a money-making corporation
Mr.. Zimmerman said he was opposed
10 raising the charge for water.
Mr.. Ebel rejoined that he did not med
tate recommending higher rates. he
simply wished the Council TO know the
cost of water. He drew attention 20 the
higher rates charged by other cities, and
said that the difference was caused by
Richmond selling water below cost.
Mr.. HARRISON said the report showed
that the city was making $50 per cent. on
water. whereas. in fact. it was losing
money
After long discussion the committee
came to the conclusion that the city was
receiving a sufficient compensation for
water. but that there was waste which
necessarily cut down the profits TO n
point which only yielded 1 and instead OF
) per cent. on the investment
The matter was disposed Of on motion
of Mr.. Harrelson, by the appointment OF
a subcommittee, consisting or Messrs.
Harrelson. Rountree and Ebel, to secure
all information bearing on the question,
and report TO an adjourned meeting OF
the committee.
The main Information for the sub-com-
nittee TO secure is 10 ascertain what
revenue would be derived II every gallon
OF water pumped were paid for.

SOLDIERS OR MILITIAP
Opinion Prevails That Enlisted Men
Cannot Be Both.

Washington, April 26.-Some differ
ence of opinion exists among the war
department officials as to the precise
steps which shall be taken to recruit
for the volunteer army called into SER
vice by the president. Although the
kilograms sent by the department yes
terday to the governors of the various
states. were entirely those of inquiry,
the inference is drawn that the govern
ors are given certain prerogatives in
the work of raising a volunteer army.
This is combatted by some of the law
hold that the act as passed, does not
admit of such Interpretation.
Major j. N. Morrison, assistant to the
judge advocate of the army and a high
authority on military law, in converse
ton with a representative of the Assoc
claIed Press, expressed his views on
this subject which, however, he said,
We're entirely unofficial and personal.
He says there is no provision in the vol
unteer army act for any state, or the
governor, or other officer thereof to en-
list any of the men of either the regu-
lar or volunteer branch of the army or
Tor them to have anything to do with
the raising of either branch except that
the governors are to appoint certain
designated officers of the volunteer
branch. The enlisted men are obtained
IN the same way in both branches, that
IS by voluntary contracts of enlistment
directly to the United States The
governors have no more authority he
says, to raise the volunteer branch than
TO raise the regular branch and it is not
ilkeIy one of them has a single dollar
IN the state treasury that can lawfully
be used for raising either branch.
There is nothing in the act that can
be construed to provide that any state
organization shall be transferred as a
state organization into the United
States service-"mustered i'm as the
state volunteer organizations of 1861 to
1865 were-and if the militia officers are
appointed and do not accept the APP
pointments they will remain militia Of
hcers. But if they are appointed and
do accept the appointment, they will
probably have to resign as militia Off
GERS If they do not resign, they will
simply hold two offices-one in the state
militia and one in the United States
volunteer army.
The act assumes that members of the
state militia organizations will enlist
in the volunteer army, but does not pro-
vide for them to do so, that is, it does
not require them to do so. Any one
else is clearly as eligible to fight as they
are. 1t might be said Major Morrison,
that unless something is done by their
respective governors to prevent, these
militiamen, will find that their obliga-
lions under the state law as members
of the state militia organization will
be obstacles in the way of their entry
in the United States volunteer service,
