DR.. Anderson moved and advocated
strongly, that the Council appoint the

The Committee was also instructed to

the towns appropriation to the pub
lie schools. This petition was publish
ed i'm full in the last HERALD.
On motion of Major Martin, the re-
quest of DR. Smith was granted. The
Council appropriated $3.50 for the pur-
pose of creating nine months session
rather than havea eight months term
Mr.. II. +. Wall submitted PROPOSE
ton, that if the town will bear one
third of the expense, the property-hold-
ers, between Main and Third Streets,
and the alley way next to Barrow's
market house, on the west side of Main
street, will pay the remaining two
thirds for a granolithic pavement to
take the place of the present rock pave
ment The town is to have the use of
all the rock displaced. The cost
of the work, as stated by Mr..
Wall. will be $3.50 per square
foot. for distance of go feet. The
Council readily accepted the PROPOSE
ton, with the added power given the
Street Committee and the property
holders to widen the sidewalk as much
as two feet, if they wish.
The Council appropriated 5000 for use
in keeping clean the Farmville ceme-
terry. This is the usual appropriation
for that purpose.
Representative of the Farmvllle
Power and Drainage Company came
before the Council and lodged COM
plaint that their Company had been
stopped i'm its work Of laying sewerage
pipe, by the refusal Of the Farmville
4
Mills Company to allow pipe to be laid
in front of the Mill. The franchise
which the Drainage Company has ex-
pressly provides that the sewer shall
enter the Appomattox river below the
mill dam, and to reach such point, II
was stated to be necessary that pipes
he laid in front of the mill.
The committee requested the Council
to give permission to them to enter
their sewer pipe in the culvert, which
masses under the railroad and into the
river, just above the dam.
There was considerable discussion of
the matter, and the Council instructed
its Sanitary Committee to look I'M
mediately into the rights of way as
street i'm front of the mill, also to ascer-
tain if there was not once street run
ming parallel with and on the north
side of the railroad, known as Water
street. This committee is to report to
a called meeting of the Council.
A number of uncancelled coupons,
dating from about 1890, were found by
Sergeant Miller, in the towns safe, and
brought to the attention Of the Coun-
ell. They were ordered to be destroyed
at once. and the match was applied.
