ling with a mass of papers and pasting
books spread out on long table. He
was engaged in the work undertaken by
Mr.. John Garland Pollard and himself
in preparing the code for the work of the
General Assembly, and a glance at the
work will convince one of its tedious
ness.
Mr.. Pollard, who is a lawyer, is engag-
ed much of his time in the duties of his
profession but Mr.. Brenaman is ans'old
hand at the business and having been
a legislative, clerk when much of the
legislation enacted since the publication
of the Code of 1887 was passed. he is
familiar with the statutes amendatory OF
sections of the Code. The work is of such
nature that it requires those under

standing. Pollard supplement to the
Cede is being used effectively in the
work.
Under the Joint resolution appropriate

that the work must be done during the

But Three Candidates to Be In the
Field for the Position.
But little is now heard of the contest
for the secretaryship of the Corpora ton
Commission. The three members of the
commission have had conference, but
no intimation has been given as to the
identity Of the clerk, if indeed the sub
ject has been considered at all.
There are several avowed and passive
candidates for the position, which 1t is
expected will pay salary of $1,000 per
annum or more. Mr. j. N. Brenaman, OF
Shenandoah county. who for years has
spent much Of his time in this city while
engaged in clerical work in the General
Assembly and later in the Constitutional
Convention, is an avowed candidate for
the place Mr.. Upshur, of Norfolk, an

with rates and ratemaking, is also can
fdldate. Mr. Hardin, another Norfolk as
plrant for the place, has withdrawn A

The statutes to be offered in the Gener-
a! Assembly by the Committee on Roads
and Internal Navigation may have much
to do with determining who. If any of
the gentlemen mentioned. will be eligible
to the position. This committee, OF which
CHARLES I. Bland. Of Portsmouth, is
chairman, will, it is said, provide that
the chief clerk to the commission shall
be an expert rate clerk It remains to
be seen whether this statute will be
adopted and i if SO whether the commits
sion will feel bound by it.
The secretaryship of the commission
will be an arduous and important post
and will require the services Of a com
petent and industrious man.
