by many other cities in the country; ana
IL we come to Richmond we do not ask
that we shall enjoy any privilege Whion
you would not as readily grant TO any
other company asking permission to do
a like business within our corporate linn
its. We are the citizens of Richmond,
and we have nothing but her best inter
ests at heart Believing, as we DO, that
great advantage would accrue to the
city under the establishment OF such tele-
phone communication as is contemplated
by us, we have not hesitated to ask the
General Assembly for the charter which
is now under discussion.
1--WE would be glad If this mater
could be considered apart from any pre]u-
dice that may exist on account OF any
mistakes that may have been made on
tthe part of any other company. for we
believe that dispassionate consideration
of this whole subject will enable our peo-
pie to see that it is one Of the most I'M
portant measures for the advancement
and prosperity of Richmond that has
been presented during the past decace LOT
the thoughtful attention of her people.
I'VE wish to deny in the most enlf'hsrtc
manner that we have anything Whatever
to do with the litigation between uhe
city and the Southern Bell Teleohone
Company, and whether this charter be
granted or not. the determination OF the
matters in dispute between the city and
the said company must be settled by
themselves and without amy reference
whatever to the Virginia Telephone ana

Mr.. FLOODS STATEMENT.
He Contends That the Bill Has Not
Been Jackcted,

Been JaCkcteu.
Mr. Flood was seen last night and ask.
ed about the statement made before the
City Council. to the effect that the bill
Incorporating the Virginia Telephone and
Telegraph Company was "jacketed, = and
was not by the bi
to get individual members of com
mittee, to the number of five. to examine
1t, endorse their names on 1T. ana re
port ut as if it had been considered III
the committee.
Tho bill in question: stated Mr..
Flood, was never reported to the House,
members Of the Committee on General
Laws. were endorsed on it,"
After the bill passed the Senate. sald
went to the General Laws Committee o.
the House to see if I could get it taken
up. but l found the committee crowded
with special orders.
After it adjourned asked Captain
R. S. Parks. its chairman, If he would
not examine the BILL and he approved it,
,.jacket' it,
."He said he would. but do not think
the bill was taken to him.
Two or three days after this Captain
Parks came in the. Senate chamber some
in there he and myself engaged in gen
cral conversation for a while; when I
remarked that "a! he had not examined the
to o'o him. ana ID asked e him if he had time
to do so then. He replied that he had.
II went to the House clerks Office. got
the bill and gave it to Captain Parks,
with the remark that thought it very
good bill.
"Capain Parks read it over very care
fully, and then endorsed it,
Il carried it TO two or three other mem
berS of the committee, and some other
party secured the signatures OF still other
members.
Before the requisite number Of names
had been obtained and the bill reported
took printed copy of it to Colonel George
Wayne Anderson who stated to me that
he did not think he could support the bill,
because he thought it would be political
suicide.
q told him its status, but said would
see that it went no further until he thad
notice.
II then went to Mr.. George Lindsey,
the clerk of the committees; told him that
the opposition might want to appear be-
fore the committee, and not to report the
bill.
thus the bill has remained in the
committee for the past two or three
weeks. and up to the present time:
Mr. Gesorge Lindsey, clerk of the Com
mittee on General Laws of the House,
was seen. and stated that after the neces-
sary names had been gotten to report the
bill incorporating the Virginia Telephone
and Telegraph Company, Senator Flood
came to him and said he had shown the
bill to some gentlemen who were opposed
the committee, and for that reason it
ought to be, kept in the committee. 1t
was, therefore, not reported, but has been
