The present Code of Virginia was

the statutes.
On the first Of July, 1885, the late
John 3. Smcot, after having taken
the oath as Mayor, delivered an inau-
rural address. Among other things
he called the attention of the joint
meeting of the City Council to the
fact that the laws Of the city should
be collated and printed in one volume.
At times during the past thirty
years the matter has been brought up
in Council, but, so far. no definite
steps have been taken to carry out
the former Mayors recommendation
