nave recently accepted similar offers.
That we respectfully refer the offer OF
the Richmond Passenger and Power
Company to the City Council, with the
following suggestions:
First-While approaching the PUBLIC
spirited offer of the Richmond Passenger
and Power Company, we suggest that the
proposition from that company be not
accented. for in our opinion it is unwise
for a, uhlic enterprise to be maintained
by any person or persons now enjoying
public franchise.
Second-That the provisions of the Pat
teson law recently enacted by our Legs
latrre be considered in this connection.
J'hrd-That we especially favor the
maintainance of the library from the pub
lie funds of the city.
