PETERSBURG, VA., April 1 - The
Council met this morning to discuss certain sections of the new
license-tax ordinance, and especially to
the proposed merchants' tax proposed to
import a duty on purchases, instead of on capital as heretofore. This has caused much opposition among the merchants in the city.
At the meeting of the council last
night it was decided that all differences should be
preferred to a committee of
Judiciary for adjustment. This committee
was instructed to hold open meetings
and give all persons interested opportunity.  It is of school. St. Joseph's new school will be dedicated at 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon by I. C. Irvine, the contractor.
