OF THE STATE DEBT TO BE

*ThoNlate Ncedn Credit"?Mr, George
TV. Coo, oT Ilia AdvUory Hoard on
the Annie AnbJ?ct?Cooper Not in l?.
Committee to Meet on Jnlj 131b.
Captain Hugh N. Garden, of the
Virginia bondholders' committee, in
au interview published in a Now York
paper, says: "No plan has yet been
formulated stating the figures on
which a settlement should be reached,
[ for the reason that the committee de?
sires to have the conservative opinion
and advice of those who have studied
the question from the Virginia stand?
point, the creditors' standpoint, and
the disinterested standpoint, before
we formulate any scheme for submis?
sion to the advisory board. We hope
that when our plan is finally submit?
ted to the State, tho Virginia people
will feel that it represents a consen?
sus of opinions, based on ttie highest
considerations of sound finance and
public policy, and that thus the State
will have to accept the plan. 1 be?
lieve that Virginia will gladly accept
it.
"There is an excellent prospect that,
the creditors will join in this plan ot
adjustment with practical unanimity.
The bondholders' committee an?
nounced their proposal at the first of
this week, and although creditors
were not asked to deposit the bonds
before July, large amounts of the Vir?
ginia obligations have already been
deposited both in London and at each
of the American depositaries. We an?
ticipate no opposition whatever to
the proposed plan of adjustment.
"The State needs credit at this mo?
ment in an especial degree. Virginia
is just starting on a tide of prosperity
after many years of commercial and
industrial stagnation. The mineral
and manufacturing opportunities of
the State are just being appreciated.
Almost every town has its improve?
ment company, with prospects of fur?
naces, factories, new buildings, etc.
The development of the iron and coal
deposits within the last year has been
phenomenal. There is, therefore,
every reason to urge the State and
the people of Virginia to lend assis?
tance to the present attempt to settle
the Virginia debt in a way that will
restore the credit of the State."
Mr. George S. Coe, of the advisory
board, also said on the same subject:
"This movement for the settlement ot
the Virginia debt is an effort to bring
public opinion to bear apon the State
in such a way as to induce the legis?
lature to accept an equitable plan,
devised by men of known ability and
fairness after tliey shall have consid
eredalltbe conflicting interests. Both
in London ami New York the belief is
general that the committee will sue
ceed in formulating a plan which will
be accepted alike by rhe State and
bondholders, thus terminating the
long and costly strugg'e between the
parties."
Mr. James P. Cooper, the financial
agent of the foreign bondholders'
committee, has gone to London to at
tend the meeting of the committee to
be held there on July l?. Mr. Cooper
is considered here a functns officio.
The committee have had no dealings
with him, but only with the prin?
cipals for whom he has acted as agent.
More than a majority of the bonds
have already been deposited, and all
the necessary consents to the carry?
ing out of the committee's plans ob?
tained. As they 6ay on the track,
"He is not in it."

The members of the new Council
met in the Council hall yesterday at
noon to elect a president.
Mr. Trout was elected temporary
chairman, and he announced that the
nomination of a president was in
order.
Mr. Scott nominated Mr. J. R. Han
thorne.
Mr. Woodward nominated Mr.
Buckner, and the vott- stood o to 0 in
favor of Mr. Hanthoru?, who, after a
brief address stating the appreciation
he felt in Icing elected CO tie position
am! promising to preside over their
deliberations iu as tail and importial
a manner as possible, took the chair.
He then stated that there was no
more business before the council thi
and a motion to adjourn until boe'look
p. m., was carried.
thk 8 o'clock -session.
When the roll was called every
councilman answered to his name
The retiring councilman were Messrs
Evans, mayor, and W. K. Andrews
Their successors, Messrs. W. P. Hufr
and J. K. Skinker, were on hand,and
did not seem as strangers in the hall
so far as any backwardness to regis
terakickor volunteer a suggestion
was concerned when their convictions
dictated.
The mayor's report was quite an
elaborate one, filled with sound rei
ommendations, and was acted upon
in sections. In the matter of assess
ments he urged that great diligence
should be exercised in their collection,
and that this is particularly impor?
tant while real estate is changin
hands so rapidly, to insure clear titles
to property. Referred to city solici
tor.
His suggestion that two extra
policemen be appointed to look after
the S0? or 900 untaxed dogs in the city,
and to ai tend to any other police
duties which may come under obser
vation, was argued from various
standpoints, and eventually referred
to the police commissioners. That
more adequate arrangements for im?
pounding livo stock be provided was
referred to the public property com?
mittee.
His sucrgestion that cellars on Salem
avenue and other flat localities, which
become filled with water every time
it rained, be filled at expense of the
owners, was objected to by Mr. Wood?
ward, who argued that this was in a
large degree clue to inadequate drain?
age, and parties should not be sub?
mitted to t he expense of digging and
filling up cellars under these circum?
stances. Thematter was referred to
sewer committee with instructions

ABOUT THE HOTELS.
Just at this t ime the hotels of Roan?

hotel, is getting its fair share of pat- j

Baltimore laying in supplies. He will

tractor of this city, has returned from
a visit to Baltimore, and says he was

Ennmeratoro' Work Finished.
The work of the enumerators for
Roanoke has been completed, and in
due time the result will be summed uj
and promptly announced. The count
will be no easy job, and will consume
considerable time. When asked by a
Times reporter yesterday what "he
thought the result would" be, Mr. J
E. Tennyson, one of the enumerator
said : "Really I wouldn't like to esti?
mate, in fact couldn't with any de
gree of authenticity. Of this much,
however, I feel assurtd, and that is
that the population of the city ac?
cording to the count won't amount to

pate."

sion of future plans of operation.
This is one of the heaviest purchases
of hind ever known in the two States.
A Petersburg gentleman interested in
the purchase says that it promises
magnificent possibilities if not-indeed
probabilities. He said that he would
not now fake 100 per cent, advance on
his interest in the svn Jicate.

A gentleman in the audience whose

the council of tho fact that the city

A CARD.
As there seems to be an impression
that we have pledged ourselves to
build an Opera House on the lots on
Jefferson street, in which we hold a
controlling intend, we desire to state
that we have never directly or indi?
rectly agreed to build said Opera
House, having merely expressed our
intention of doing everything consis?
tent with our interests to promote the
enterprise. We would further state
that we were offered stock of the
Opera House Company upon condi?
tions that we would agree to build
said Opera House, and we declined
to purchase on any such basis. We
are, however, ready to entertain any
any propositions looking to the build?
ing of an Opera House, and shall be
clad to co-operate with the citizens of
Roanoke in securing this much needed
fice i^as postponed until the next j addition to our city,
