WHO coNcocTED THE SCHEME
ANYHOW7

Every time one of the branches OF
the city council fails to hold n meet
ing on account of the lack of a quorum
we are reminded OF the fact that New
pcrt News is handicapped by a cum
bersome unwieldly form of municipal
government that everybody would ike
to get rid of. Last night the common
council. called to meet for the pur-
nose of disposing of business in con-
pection with the new street paving
business in which everybody in the
city is or should be interested-did
not meet because the necessary nine
members were not in attendance. Sew
eral members OF the body gave up
their time and went TO the city hali'
only to leave after waiting In vain
for SUFFICIENT number OF their col
leagues to transact business. Inc
board of aldermen holds no regular
meeting in August, therefore II THIS
paving business is to be attended 10
before the regular sessions In Sep
tember. another special meeting oil
the lower branch will have to be
called and the aldermen, too. will have
10 get together in special session
Then, unless the branches happen TO
agree. which they were very frequent
ly do not, there will be more delay
whoever concocted the present
scheme for governing cities OF the
size of Newport News must have spent
his life in a village where the only
municipal business to be disposed Oh
oertained to the painting of the town
pump or white washing the caiaboose
once every year or so.
