Idea Prevails That councilmen

Than Probable That Favorable
Recommendation viii 30 Re.
ported Both Branches.

Probably no matter who has been con.
sidered By the Common Council for many
months 10 attracting the attention that
the Tree pass matter il. On AL sides
this question IS being discussed, and from
preent prospects 1t would seem that in
some form both branches Of Council will
finally decide to furnish themselves with
expense OF the city.
Whom the matter was brought before
the Common Council at the meeting last
Monday night, nineteen members went
on record as favoring the idea OF ex-
pending $3.50 for the purpose Of furnish
ing tickets to members of both branches
or Council. while only eleven cast their
ballots against 1t. Several OF these are
known to FAVOR free transportation, and
when the matter is brought up for final
action, after the report OF the special
committee, 1t will probably be adopted.
WANT ROCK BOTTOM RATES.
It Is the intention Of the special com.
uittee to hold a conference with the
street railroad officials just as soon as
practicable, after which report Will
be drafted and submitted TO the common
Council for consideration. It Is the pur-
pose OF the committee to get the rock
bottom figures OF the car company on
Transportation for Council members. It
has already been stated that the Virs1nia
passenger ana Power Company is willing
to haul councilmen at $50 per head per
annum, but the committee hopes to get
even q cheaper rate. How successful
they will be remains to be seen.
There are hfty-six members OF both
branches OF Council and at $50 per head
an appropriation OF $500 would meet
the requirements and furnish each mem-
Der with a. badge. which would entitle
him to board car at any time and ride
so long as he liked without giving up
cent for the transportation. This idea
was very much in favor at the meeting
Monday night and may be finally
adopted.
Should the Common Council finally
adopt measure which will purport to
furnish free transportation to members
there seems little doubt but that the
Board Of Aldermen will concur, quite
number already having expressed them
selves in favor OF such legislation Thus
it would seem only a matter Of time be-
fore free passes for Council members
will be a reality instead OF a dream.

BIG IMPROVEMENT
FOR LEE DISTRICT
Monument Avenue to Be Paved
With GranoIith a, Cost Of
Property Owners.

A movement has been put on foot, which
If carried to completion. will be one Of
the best ever projected for Lee District
It is to lay with a granolithic sidewalk
| both sides OF Monument Avenue from
Lornbardy Street to Meadow Street.
The deal needs only the signatures OF
| ono or two property owners to complete
the project, and then the work will be-
gin at once. All Of the owners Of rop-
e.ty on that beautiful thoroughfare have
readily consented to this inlprovcme nt
and it WILL when completed. be one OF
the most beautiful promenades OF the
city. It is surprising to many that this
work has not been done long ago, for
the only way pedestrians can now reach
the monument in bad weather is to 20
through the mud.
A good granolithic sidewalk will enable
pe,s to build homes in that section at
once and have all Of the advantages that
are to be had in the heart OF the city.
The work will be paid for by the prop
erty owners and done underline super
vision OF the City Engineer. The owners
ire to be congratulated upon getting to-
gether in this matter, and it is to be
hoped that no hitch will happen to pre-
vent the early completion Of the work.
AT. interesting fact about this work and
the means through which it is to be done
is that, owing to provisions in the new
Constitution, a question has arisen about
the legality OF the city's undertaking it,
and so the property-holders are going to
go down in their pockets and do it them
selves.
