TO1flCe OF CITY AttOrneN,

Richmond, Va, July i, 1907.
Special Joint Committee on Advis-
DRY and Consulting Board on
Municipal Management.
edge receipt OF your favor of the
Gath ult., i'll Which you make GER
tain inquiries of ME, Which Will be
stated and answered in the order
made.
!. You ask what powers the Leg
I islature has to create an advisory
board or board of control for the
city OF Richmond.
! am clearly of opinion that the
Legislature may, by amendment to
the City Charter, create an advis-
DRY board or board of control for
the city of Richmond, or may ac-
Somp1ish the same end by enact
ing a general law creating such
board in all cities of the first class.
2. What powers could be dele
gated to said board?
1t would be hard to enumerate
all of the powers that could be
delegated to a board of the char
acter indicated. I can state, how
ever, in general way. which l
presume will be sufficient TO gov
ern you in the preparation OF pro-
/ per amendment to be presented to
the Legislature proposing to amend
the City Charter. that any cXccG-
tive power necessary to carry out
the powers conferred on the muni
cipal government of the city of
Richmond, could be conferred upon
such board but in my judgment,
under our Constitution, no ierisla-
tive powers could be conferred upon
such board like those so literally
!. conferred upon the Board of Com
misslohers Ga the city of Calves
ton:' Tie board there has not only
3 executive but legislative powers as
well. The reason for this Is obvi-
5 Gus. The Constitution of the State
~ OF Virginia, in section Go, provides
that the General Assembly may
py general laws confer upon tho
boards of supervisors of counties
and tho Councils of cities and
towns such powers OF local una
special Legislation MS IL may from
time TO time deem cnDcdicnt, not
Inconsistent with the Limitations
contained In this Constitution"
am OF opinion that the power con-
ferred by this section, when read
in connection with section 5 Of the
Bill OF Rights. which provides.
That tho legislative. executive and
I judicial departments of the state
should be separate and distinct"
i and in connection with section 80
/ OF the Constitution. which pro-
vides, Except as hereinafter pro-
Vided the Legislative. executive ana
+ judiciary department shah be sep
arate and distinct. SO that neither
exercise the powers properly be-
longing to either OF the others, nor
any person exercise the powers or
more than one OF them at the same
time" must be construed TO mean
that the legislative powers OF a
mnniclphl government must be cH-
ercised by the City Council, the leg
!slatiye branch OF that govern
ment. and that any nt,cmpt to
withdraw legislative powers from
the City Council and confer the
same upon q board of control,

attention to naming the Vice Pfesi-
dent 1t is stated on good authority
that Governor Hughes, OF New York,
has been selected by the President
as running -mate for Secretary Taft.
1t Is admitted that Taft and Hughes
would make a strong ticket.
It Is probable that Messrs. Knox and
Cannon and Fairbanks are more than

Taft, but he has refused to take with

FRENCH TARIFF VIEWS.
Effort for american agreement
Higher Duties Opposed.

Paris, Nov. S.-The semi official Temps this
evening protests strongly against the efforts
of the high protectionists to prevent the gov
ernment from undertaking further tariff nego-
tations with foreign powers pending the pro-
posed general revision Of the tariff pointing out
that the time is particularly propitious for the
conclusion Of q mutually advantageous arrange
ment with the United States and adding:
In the present crisis which the United States
Is undergoing the conclusion of a Franco
American commercial agreement beneficial TO
both countries would be relatively easy. The
present modus vivendi expires December /,
and Il is urgently important that a more stable
situation should supplant it. The American
German treaty will become additional danger
to French commerce If we do not obtain an
equivalent.
The Journal des Debats" has opened cam
paign against the scheme of the protectionists
for higher duties, saying that it would consti-
tute a blow to Frances foreign commerce,
which is steadily increasing under the present
moderate rates.
II is learned that the French government S
promise to the tariff commission. in addition 20
requiring the ratification of the Franco-Cana-
dian treaty, specifically reserved the right to
continue negotiations now in progress. includ-
ing those with the United States.

THE MANCHURIAN MAILS.
Japan Irritated by the Chinese
Erclusion Order.

Peking. Nov. S-Although the temporary
agreement reached regarding the through mails
on the imperial railroads is operative pending
the proposed Russian, Japanese and Chinese
conference intended to simplify the complicated
postal situation existing in Manchuria, China's
reapplication two days ago OF the order for
bidding the transportation OF japanese mail on
the New-Chwang branch line has aroused the
resentment Of Japan. and has resulted in post
poning the final settlement of the question until
such time as the Japanese Department of Com
munications is disposed TO consider new tele-
graph and postal conventions. This probably
will require months
The telegraph negotiations which have been
going on for a period of fifteen months, have
made no headway because Japan declines to ad-
NIT the basis on which China is negotiating
namely, that Manchuria is sovereign Chinese
SOIL Furthermore. Japan Is maintaining tele-
graph lines in territories professedIy restored
to China, and is granting special privileges TO
Japanese in violence Of the policy of equal rights
and the open door. Japan also has exclusive
control OF the postal operations.
It is apparent to-day that in view Of the at
titude taken by Japan, China is alarmed at her
own action in excluding japanese mail carriers
from the New-Chwang branch.
