An adjourned meeting of the Business
Mems League was held last evening in the
rooms of the organization, corner of King
and Washington streets A discussion of
the question as to whether Alexandria
should come under the provisions of a bill
pending in the state legislature requiring
street electric railroads to use underground
wires In cities having a population of 10000
more was the main object for which the
meeting was held At the regular meeting
a week ago Mr.. Isaac Eichberg introduced
the subject and MI. c. c. Leadbeater sup
ported it The measure, however, met with
considerable opposition, and it was finally
agreed to postpone a consideration. At the
meeting last night many members absented
themselves, and as it became evident that
a stiff opposition would be encountered, the
matter was allowed to drop. The question
of separating the state and corporation
assessments was brought up and discussed.
1t was thought best to take no action until
the council committee on finance had been
conferred with, and Francis L. Smith and
Gardner L. Boothe We're appointed to pre-
sent the matter to that committee
