g -
Some important measures are now pend
ing In Council and In committees. among
them the Bell Telephone ordinance that
is being considered by the Ordinance
Committee, and the resolution approprla-
ting *1.4oo for new home for the keeper
of Maury Cemetery, was the talk In tho
Finance Committee.
These two measures are far more I'm
portant than would appear from the sur
face.
The Bell Telephone ordinance affects a
number OF business men and private cti-
zens. who, until an ordinance Is granted.
must do without telephone connection.
Under tho present condition OF things.
the company may not extend It's line nor
place pole. The proposed ordinance al
lows the company the camo privilege they
enjoy In Richmond. and It Is quite proba-
BILE that the Ordinance Committee, OF
which Alderman Abbott is chairman. will
be ready to make its report ut the next
meeting OF the Common Council.
The Finance Committee will at its next
meeting have the plans and specifications
Of the proposed new superintendent
house before It, and be In a position to
act intelllgently upon the proposition.
Superintendent Allen and the Cemetery
Committee have devised plan by which
s1.7oO.
The committee has $500 on hand toward
this amount. and simply asks tho Finance
Committee for a special appropriation
of sl.4OO.
This matter will in ell probability be
ready for disposition by the time Coilh-
Gil meets in Its June session. and II is
altogether likely that the new house will
be ready for occupancy before winter
