ARGUMENT TO-DAY
Lawyers Will Present This In
terestinp Case.

argument on annexation will begin this
morning In Henrico county before Judge
g. y. Nicoi. and all OF the day VIII be
taken up In the discussion that Will fol-
low. Attorneys for both sides vii, pre-
sent the case to the court-technically
and upon Its merits-and then Il will ba
lett to the Alexandria jur!st other than
to say what portion of Henrico courty
richmond shall take In. In order to re-
lievc herself OF the present congested
condition.
The burden OF proof is upon the city
to show the necessity and the expediency
of annexation at this time. The county
only has to rebut this evidence and the
argument of the counsel for Richmond.
Henrico has to show only that It is un-
necessary and inexpedient for Richmond
to extend her boundary lines. 1t Is oblig-
atory upon the city to show tho reason
for the widening OF the present boundary
lines.
Boiled down this Is what the attorneys
representing the different factions in the
controversy will talk about to-day and
tomorrow and perhaps Wednesday. BY
the middle of the week 1t Is believed
Judge Nicol will have heard enough OF
the explanations of the lawyers. and
will be in n position TO say. from the
evidence that he has heard and carefully
weighed. whether or not Richmond is a
congested city, whether or not she would
extend her boundary lines and whether
or not 1t is expedient and necessary that
this be lone in the year OF our Lord
nineteen hundred and six.
Messrs. Pollard and Meredith will par
ticulariy represent Richn,ond's interests.
Mr.. Drake will lookout for the interests
OF Riverview. or the people who reside
In this section. and who desire to be-
come citizens OF the city rather than res
idents OF Henrico. and Mr.. Gardner will
argue that the people Of Paramount
should be allowed to become a part of
Richmond and reap the benefits that will
be derived from consolidation with the
city.

Commissioners of Revenue.
Another matter which will attract much
attention in the Legislature this week is
the Early-Chapman bill. providing for
the appointment of commissioners of the
revenue by the courts, instead of their
election by the people, as at present.
The bill has already been passed by the
House. the vote having been 81 to -.
1t is now in the Senate Committee for
Courts of Justice. and will be acted upon
In Il few days. Good judges of the situa-
ton say the bill will pass. and will be
signed by the Governor. 1t will restore
the eligibility of all the present commits
sioners of the State who cannot stand
again unless the method of selection is
changed.
The House Finance Committee is hard
at work on the general appropriation bill,
which Chairman Bowman hopes to be able
TO report within a week or ten days.
The bill will carry about 1900, eco of
appropriations for the next two fiscal
years. and the task of perfecting it is
by no means an easy one. Amendment
after amendment will be offered in both
Houses. and then the usual committees
of conference will follow. This measure,
and those relating to better schools and
roads, are considered BY far the most
important before the Legislature.
rho calendars Of both houses are al
ready greatly congested with bills re-
ported from committees, and still meas
rires on nearly every conceivable sub
ject pour in almost daily. The House
calendar on Saturday contained twenty
nine printed pages, and that of the SEN
ate five. Both will be equally heavy
to-day. and the two branches will begin
the week with all kinds of hard work
confronting them.
