best. place to look for what he want

The hotel was several miles from
the village. It's gables and chimneys

sour reasons for this request are
that the bulk of the rolling stock OF

of the Commonwealth and is daily
brought in for the benefit, more es-
reciallv. of fire and police protec-
ton. and investigation in the city
Of Richmond will prove that the
citv of Richmond has spent more
money for the laying of water mains
to protect the rolling stock OF the
| railroads than all of the counties OF
the State combined; that the pres
ent law is now pending in the su-
premc Court and that the prospects
Of special session of the Leglsla'
tire for tax reform might make the
rolling stock tax an object for It's
consideration. Certainly the pres
ont law should not be disturbed al
this time.

visable to sign said measure, VIC
