E.etlIDS cAlluCLt 1TDIll plIItcu
in yesterdays Times Dispatch. In con-
nection with the charges of discrimination
against Richmond by the Norfolk and
ways in the matter OF freight rates on
coal is more signigcant than most people
who read it realized.
Tho failure of the railroad companies
named to grant tho reduction In coal
rates that had been urged by the man
ayers OF large manufacturing plants here.
and which 1t was expected would become
effective early In this month, means that
these plants will continue to pay ont
many thousands Of dollars In freight
which they would have saved. And this
is due. as explained In tho extract Quilted,
to the fact that the matter Of alleged
discrimination has 'been introduced IN
the United States Senate"
THE present rate on coal from tho
New River and Pocahontas fields is s.. go
peri ton. Large Richmond manufa cturers
have through conference With President
Stevens Of the Chesapeake and Ohio,
been seeking a concession OF twenty-five
cents per ton, which would put thcm on
an equal footing with Baltimore. but It
has been pretty we'll settled now, MS In
dicated by the extract reproduced above,
that there Will be no reduction In rates
for tho present. Whether this will come
q little later, when tho present agitation
has passed. remains to be seen. The
manufacturers are hopeful; the railroad
people will not discuss the matter.

THE CITY COUNCIL

The City Council met in regular ses- sion last Monday evening, Mayor Stub bins presiding. Councilmen present were Messrs. O'Connor, Cashen, Rem mis, Trudgeon and Hopp.
 Chairman Cashen, of the Committee on License and Revenue, read report giving list of businesses in the city being conducted without the payment of the license prescribed by federal law. The list was turned over to the city clerk, who was instructed to give notice to the delinquents.
 The special committee on buoys was instructed to build and place one, that the council might judge the number necessary and the cost.
 MT. Armstrong presented a petition to the council asking that the city build two bridges on North 5th street, the petitioners promising on their part to stump and grade the street, so that wagons may pass over it. After some discussion, the Committee on Streets was ordered to construct 62 feet or bridges, at a cost to the city not to ex- ceed S2.O0 per foot. Claims against the city were approved and warrants drawn as follows:
