Mr.. Pulian. in his communication =
printed in yesterday's Times Dlsl.a zen,
deals with the legal side OF the annexa-
ton question without arguing for or
against the consolidation scheme. he .te
points out that Richmond could not be

to Manchester An ordinance passed py
the city Of Richmond, which would prom
Use to Manchester many inducements for
annexation, might and could be, repealed
by the same Council that enacted ".
says Mr.. Pullianl. He further cites the
| fact that Manchester could not sue 1or
| the simple reason that there would Sbe
| no Manchester after tho console ton.
Richmond, he argues. would not sue itself.
The question was discussed very freely
Ion 1.-THE streets yesterday There are
nanyfiin Manchester who favor annexa-
tior,. IA butt these. with exceptions, want
| to know just what the city will receive,
and they want the proposition made plain
to them. 81 Y,
Those opposed TO annexation are rather
inclined to think, or to aver, that Rich
mond will not deal fairly With this city.
But the majority Of Observation-Disclosures are
lin favor OF accepting Richlnond's terms
and securing for public improvements
lin the city tho $4,000 per year.
