SEPARATE WHITES AND BLACKS.
Mr. John +. Epps. of this city. intro
duced two interesting bills. the ono re-
Quiring separate Passenger c0aChes for
white and colorea people. and the other
regulating the hours Of motormen ana
conductors on street railways. The first
bin requires that equal accommodations
shall be given the two races by all rail-
road and street railway lines, and i'm
poses a penalty Of from $500 to 1900 for
failure 10 comply with the law. The other
bin limits the working hours Of cOnduc-
tors and motOrmen to ten hours In each
twenty-four. The novel feature OF the
bin is that the conductors and mOtormen
are not permitted 10 labor over ten hours
if they care to- and a fine of from so 10
$500 is imposed on the employer and en-
ployee for violations Of the act.
PUT WIRES UNDER GROUND.
Two bills introduced by Mr.. Folkes
have for their object the placing Of all
electric wires I'm the state under ground.
The companies are given until January
l. 1892. to comply with this act. and there
after fine of from 800 20 800 is to be
imposed for each day OF violations. The
street-car companies are required 10
place their trolley wires under ground by
JULY 1st next, and the penalty prescribed
is from $50 TO 500 for each days viola
.ion These bills were recommended by
various fire boards throughout the State.
AS had been predicted. Captain Fca-
.herston introduced his bill for the abo-
ition of the office of Register of the Land
lmce. and imposing the duties of the
,flcc ON the Secretary of the Common
wealth.
