The business of the legislative branch
Of the city government is largely in the
hands of the joint committees of the
council. Their functions are partly exc
cutive in their supervision and admins
tration of the different departments OF
the city government In shaping legis-
lations however. their powers and duties
are very comprehensive and far-reachng.
1t is a thing of rare occurrence that a
measure relating to any department OF
the city government is turned down by
the council if it comes to that body with
the endorsement of the committee hav-
ing that department in charge.
The position of chairman of council
committee is one of prominence and i'm
portance in the guiding and shaping OF
municipal slegislat ion. In view OF this
fact The Times has invited the chair
men of the recently organized commit
tees to outline for its readers the more
important measures which will receive
the attention of their committees. a
number of interesting and valuable COM

WORK FOR CLEAR WATER

MI John Mann, Jr the chairman of
the Water Committee of the Council. is
impressed With the important relation
which mis- committee bears to what is
probably the greatest question before the
new Council-that of securing clear water.
Mr. Mann is heartily in sympathy with
the excellent and carefully prepared
scheme of securing clear water by a
three-fold system of sedimentation. coag-
ulation and filtration. He has followed
the thorough scientific Investigation which
this problem has received at the hands of
Superintendent Boiling. of the Water De-
partnlent In furthering the project and

Gil upon the needed appropriation the

Mann a valuable leader. His position as

in sympathy with the citv's increasing

lection as it is now doing, In accordance

TO MAKE MARKETS BETTER
THE AIM OF THE COMMITTEE

Editor OF The Times:
Sir.-As chairman OF the COMMITTEES In
charge Of the First. Second and Third
Markets of the city, it would be impos-
sible for me at the present time to say
what are the most important measures
that will come before this committee.
This Is q new committee and has only
met and organized.
The expressions of the different mem
bers of the committee have not been
considered. I think, however, there VIII
be great many important measures
before this committee in reference 70 the
various improvements that are now
needed to make our markets up-to date.
with a respectable appearance All OF
the different measures will be taken up
later. and it will give me great ceai
OF pleasure to give the desired lnforna-
ton later. Yours very respectfully.

THE CITY LIMITS
AND HAVE NEW WARDS
Editor Of The Times:

Editor OF The Times:
Sir,-Apart from other important meas
ures which may be referred to it from
time to time, the Committee on Ordl-
nances. Charter and Reform, has before it
the consideration of the resolution which
/ introduced In the first meeting OF the
new Council. looking to a tho cugh In
Guiry into the mater Of annexation and
Encouragement of ward lines.
My object in introducing the resolution
at this time was two-fold. A committee
created by the last Council spent con-
siderable money and a great deal of time
in collecting data in reference to this
matter That committee died with the
old Council. and the statistics and in
lorna ton which they gathered together
would amount to naught If the matter had
not been revived in the new Council.
The new Constitution requires new
apportionment of representation in the
Council to be made in 1903, and every ten
years thereafter, and before this reap
portionment is made 1t seems to me to be
wise to settle the question of whether or
not the city limits should be eXtened
A great part Of the opposition which has
heretofore existed among the county peo-
pie living near the city has been on ac-
count of the resulting increase Of tax
rate nthe event Of annexation to the city
This obsta Gle can be satisfactorily met
under the new Constitution by fixing
whatever tax rate the city may determine
upon as fair and proper for the terri
tory annexed.
| cannot say whether or not I am in
favor of extending the city limits in any
particular direction. I simply want the
whole matter investigated thoroughly and
the Council put in possession Of the facts
before the, REINFORCEMENT is made.
The new Constitution lays down the
principle that the wards must be SO ar
ranged as to give equal representation
in the Council in proportion to the popu-
lation of the several wards. This will
necessitate CHI ange in boundaries, and If
we are going to take in additional terri
tory, now is the time determine upon
it.
Very truly yours,
GILBERT X. POLLOCK,
Chairman Committee on Ordinances,
Charter and Reform.

CULPEPER, VA, July 19-As noticed
in The Times of to-day, the long-lost
Charles H. Newhouse, of this county. has
been located in Cape Town, South Africa
The parents of the missing man live at
Eiyeyville, this county. nine miles from
here Mrs. Newhouse came to town yes
terday and showed a letter from her long
absent sen. dated as of June 18TH 1907
and the envelope was postmarked Cape
Town, in which he tells her how much he
has longed to be with her. that he has
suffered much and is in isolation. and
that she will hear from him again.
The letter was very short. and seems to
have been written on a piece OF Cape
Town money order paper. and Is signed
Your loving son, Charles.
Thus is this hitherto deep mystery
cleared up. and the hearts of his parents
and friends made joyful.
There is a rumor here that there is a

SRA very important work stares the
Committee on Electricity squarely In the
face-namely, that OF having the over
head wires placed IN underground con-
duits. This I know will most heartily
be endorsed and welcomed by the entire
community It Is also the purpose OF
the committee to enforce q most rigid
inspection Of electrical wiring. This COM
m;ttee has a hurculaneanS"ork before 1t
which can only be accomplished by
united effort of the Council to give our
city electrician, Mr. William H. Thomp-
son, their hearty support The work un-
der the direction of this department up
to this period has been very satisfactory
Our object is to see that the ordinances
guiding the work OF the committee
(which are those OF the National Board
of Underwriters will be strictly carried
out so as to give to the public the best
possible protection against loss OF life
and fire from electrical causes as we
possibly can.

IMPROVE CITYS STREETS

Yesterday, and on this account a statement
from him could not be obtained Upon
She organization of the new Street Com
n7ittee on July I'd Major Allen made a
Very clear and excellent statement Of what
he regarded as the most important mat
ter before the committee. The city's
shortcomings in the matter OF street i'm
plovement were reviewed by the chairman
without fear or favor. Although the area
of the city had increased. appropriations
for streets We're not as large as thirty
years ago.
Major Allen thought matters had
reached q. crisis at this time and that
il would be impossible for the city to go
longer with the present streets. More
money for this purpose must be secured
Furthermore. the chairman was vigorous
in his disapproval of the present system
of dividing the appropriations among the
wards. and also of the present system
of street making. He thought 1t a Sc
rious and mmnentoua question. Streets
were now made with one sort Of pavement
and cutters on one side, and another
kind of pavement and gutter on the
ether. On the next block there would
be still another sort Of pavement, gutter
and road-bed. The whole was a patch
work without method or system. The
macadamized streets and their excellence
as dust makers received attention.
The committee should formulate some
definite and sensible scheme of street i'm
provement. The mode of pavement. gut
ter and road-bed making to be used on
each street, should be definitely decided
