sion. MIR. Hunton spoke strongly and
earnestly against Mr.. Braxton's whole
corporation scheme. He said he fully con-
CURED in many of his ideas, but the
methods proposed to correct existing
evils were more dangerous than the evils
themselves. Mr. Hunton stated that he
had seriously thought of resigning from
the committee, but had concluded that it
was his duty to remain and give the
committee the benefit of such assistance
as his practical knowledge of corporations
would enable him to do.
Chairman BraXton expressed a high APP
probation of Mr.. Hunton's determine
ton to remain on the committee, and
said he fully appreciated the fact that
the proposed ordinance on corporations
&c. could we'll be considered as a
question of bearing the evils that we
have or flying to others that we know
not of.
There was no vote reached or the sec
ton.
