CITY Council is to hold its regular

The ordinance which was drawn up by
a special committee Of >the committees
on general laws and finance was read

taken. At the last meeting vote
was prevented by a resolution OF
Councilman Williams who wants $500
to be spent by committee to visit
several Virginia cities and make an
investigation OF the result OF annexa-

board have expressed themselves as
being opposed TO the expenditure OF
money Tor this purpose.
The sentiment for annexation is
growing rapidly and the great majority
OF the citizens Of Alexandria hope that
Council will pass the ordinance tonight.
