TO INVESTIGATE WATHl. QUES? TION. The Board of Water Commissioners addressed a communication to the Councils calling: attention?-to the reck? less waste of water'that Is going- on over the alty. The Communication stated that It would soon be.impossi? ble for the 24-Inch main running to the water works to supply the city .with water at the present rate In increasing consumption. Accompanying the re? port, was Superintendent H. L. Shilth's report, and attention to* the Council wns called to bis observations on the meter system. This system, the com? munication stated, was the only way to stay the waste. CourtcilsVere re? quested to tnke some action In tegard to this matter, and on motion of Col. Hodges, It was referred to. a committee of five from the Councils for investi? gation. Prerxdeht ' East ? appointed Messrs. Hodges. Taylor, and Beaman as members of the committee from the Common Council. X On recommendation Of the Street Committee, the street donated to the city by John T.

FIGHT OVER HENRY STREET. The Street Committee reported that the Norfolk and Ocean View Railway Company has not Complied with the re? quest of Councils to place Henry street in good condition. A resolution was presented by the Street Committee pro? viding that tho railroad be compelled within 00 days to repair the street and piaco It In good condition by raising its grade to coniform with the road's grade. Captain Tazewell Taylor and Mr. East thought the time nllowod the road was too lengthy. Mr. Wast moved tl'at the resolution be amended by giv? ing the road 30 days. He said that the matter had boon up In the Councils for i-l.v months. Now that the railroad contemplated abandoning the present terminal it wanted ?0 days in which to rtfetj'de whether it woujd move its track otT the street. If It did, of course there would be no repairs. Colonel Hodges, chairman of the Street Committee, re? plied to Mr. East. He said if the road moved its terminal the street would not have to be paved, and the city would thus save its part of the expense. An aye and nay vote, was called for by Mr. East, and the amendment was lost by a vote of 0 to S. The resolution was then passed. LE KIES* PASTOR About to Leave Norfolk on Account of Wife's Illness.

The relationship between pastor and people of LeKles Memorial Church dining Brother Williams' pastorate have been of the most harmonious character. lie has gone In and out among us strengthening the weak, en? couraging the despondent, carrying messages of hope and good cheer to the sick, and inciting all 16 earnest en? deavor by hiis tireless activity. His ministry has been a benediction to our people. We hold our ^lear brother in highest esteem and greatly lament the necessity for this separation. We. had hoped for a continuance of this delight? ful association for years to come. His services will be especially missed at this time, when so many important Interests of the church projected by him are coming up to action. Our tenderest sympathies are extended to Brother Williams in his deep trouble,, and we earnestly pray our Heavenly Father to hear the petitions offered In hl? dear wife's behalf by a united church.
