City Attorney Taylor, who recently
went to Richmond to join others in the
fight against the bill In the Legislature
chartering the Virginia Telegraph and
Telephone Company, sets forth his
views In the following letter:
Norfolk. Va, Feb IT, 1900.
Hon. HI. II. Pollard, City Attorney,
Richmond, Va:
My Dear Sir:-Should be unable to
be present at the meeting Of the Senate
Committee on General Laws Monday
to oppose the bill incorporating the
Virginia Telephone ana Telegraph
Company, l will ask you 10 speak for
me-
The Street Committee of the Councils
OF the city OF Norfolk has directed me
TO oppose the bill because of that fea-
lure or II which gives the company
the right to use the streets of a city
without obtaining the consent OF the
Councils.

mas been generally recognized by the
Legislatures of Virginia. If this bill

pose of carrying on a local business.

phone, or additional telephone. lines

conditions upon which it will admit
the same. We think that The Councils
of the cities can be safely trusted to
decide these questions in the interest
Oh the people they represent
1t is further to be noted that the
right to grant franchises for the use of
the streets is one of the most valuable
assets OF city. And such franchises
should not be granted without proper
compensation or proper restrictions and
conditions.
1t may be said that the proposed bill
does not affect the city OF Norfolk be-
cause the Southern Bell and the Amer

MES. who are, ] understand. interested
In the bill. already have franchises for
the use of the streets of Norfolk The
answer is that the franchises granted

which was one giving the Councils of
the city the right to amend, alter or re-
peal the franchise and thus control the
company. Should the proposed bill be
passed either or both of said companies,
If interested therein. could operate un-
der the franchise from the Legislature

posed by the Councils. Even If this

The ROYAL Arcanum.

Johnson City Council, Royal Area
mum met last Monday evening and con-
ferred the degree upon two applicants,
making a net gain of nine for this
council in 1900. This is the strongest
and best fraternal insurance order in
existance. On Oct. 31st. the total
membership was 9O5, 69s, net gain for
ten months of 1900 of II, 76O and the
Emergency Fund, created little oyer
a year ago, amounted to 81, $50, $50, 40.
In the Widow and Orphans Benefit
Fund there was an excess of current
resources amounting to $439, 268.21. BY
adding these two items together it will
be seen that the Royal Arcanum has
81, 700, 096.71 surplus to guarantee that
the assessments will not be in
creased in numbers or amount The
rates charged are based upon correct
mortality tables and while being very
low enables the council to lay aside
