Ing the construction of drains, the de-
structIon OF garbage and the removal

4 Wages Of Laborers.
Common laborers receive q dollar an
hour, mechanics dollar and a half and
teams $40 an hour. Owing tothese high

Hon, William Writ Henry.

At a meeting of the Board OF Dire2-
tors of the Richmond Traction Company,
held on Wednesday, December 9TH, the
following resolutions were adopted:
The Richmond Traction Company re-
cord with sincere sorrow the death Of
Hon William Writ Henry, for long time
a member of its Board OF Directors and
legal adviser of the company.
His love of truth and justice in every
thing, his faithful and la5orious study
OF facts, his sound judgment, his coura-
eeous and fearless assertion and defense
OF what he believed to be right and wise,
have been invaluable in the establishment
OF the Traction Company, the defense OF
its rights, and in the prosecution OF its
undertakings.
The purity of his character, the gentle
ness, warmth and courtesy Of his man
ners have made our Intercourse with him
all agreeable and pleasant
Our separation from him is a personal
bereavement which we deeply feel aad
lament.
Resolved, That we respectfully offer his
household our profound coincidence with
them in their loss; which we doubt not
means 4 promotion to q higher sphere OF
service
