The following bills against the town
were Ordered 10 be nnld:

The light committee recommended
that the salary Of Mr. II. X. Bullock,
town electrician, be increased from $50
per month to S75 per month. The
recommendation was endorsed 10y the
council and the salary accordingly in
creased.
On motion Of Mr.. Wall the Street
Committee was instructed to settle
accounts with Messrs G. NJ Walker
and IL E. Wall for paying on Second
and Third streets.
Mr.. Wall moved that the Street
Committee enter into "a contract with
Mr. f. g. Buck for building the
macadam road within the corporate
limits rs feet instead Of - feet, and
one additional inch average thickness,
the cost to be the same per square foot
"a is charged in the contract with the
county.
Mr. ;. p. Vanderslice was given the
privilege Of the floor and submitted a
proposition to the council to reduce the
interest on the towns bonded indebted
ness. Mr.. Vanderslce stated that
there was about 1000 debt, and that
he would undertake to rewrite $4,000
of these bonds, now bearing per cent
interest at or a. per cent, the only
fee for this service being the amount
in interest thus saved the town in one
year. Mr. Naudprslice expressed the
opinion that the 500, 900 of bonds issued
ON account of the towns contribution
to the building of the Farmville and
Powhatau railroad could not be called
in without the consent Of the holders,
and they would hardly give their con-
sent To- reliuquish bonds bearing per
cent interest.
On motion Of Mr. Wall the matter
was referred TO the Finance Commit
tee.
The council next heard petition
from Mr.. Nanderslice asking for ten
years exclusive franchise to build and
a market house for the sale
of fresh meats, vegetables, dc. In this
petition il is set firth that the house
shall cost not less than 5000; is to be
Of brick or stone, and regulations for
it, keeping are named. The matter
