The representatives of the, various Interests of the city of Raleigh ; all finally agreed to an amendment to the bouse bill extending Ihe city limits without any vote one mils In every di rection from the capltol, making the fity four square miles, two and a half as laige as It now ts. ' This was the original proposition that wag submitted , in the, beginning of the present agita tion by Mr. I. 8, Wynne. But no agree ment could be reached on H then. ' Senator Drewry stated to the commit : tee yesterday afternoon that while he would not alt with the committee or vote on the matter, but would accept -anything the committee would do, he personally thought this four mile pro position the best solution of the whole . matter. Then Mr, JM. H. Pour 're commended a similar proposition. : Tne committee then began to ssk each one of the representatives ot the different forces if ha would agree to the four mile idea, without a vote. All . answered yes, and when finally Mr. A. .' A. Thompson In the interest of peace. . also agreed to It, there was almost tumultuous applause. 1 ' ' ,Jr - J Col F. B. . Arendetl, representing the Chamber of Commerce: Merchants' As- . sooiatton and Toung Men's Industrial -Association, said that the bill aa passed ; by the house had tn some sort met ana tney at any rate aesirea tne bill itapass the senate. It let the people ' vote sji to whetherthe oltv he extended - a quarter or a halt mile to the north, east arid west. Aa they understood it. -.. that was agreed upon before thehoue , : conMnlttee. ' t Representative Douglass said he on leretood the matter had been settled . before the committee of the house as Col. Arendell stated. " . ' Pont 9 A l.h. AffaMil, ,.n bhimi. - ment provided in that there should also -be to the vote whether or not there should be any extension at all. His will was not willing to surrender the ad vantages of Its situation simply upon the opinion of any one set of men. It was possible that the people of Raleigh -might say again that they did not desire any extension. ' Mr.' u. B.,' Broughton, representing the Merchants' Association of Raleigh, said that at a meeting yesterday morn- ing a communication had been ordered lent to Senator Drewry saying that 11 was the sense Of the association that-, the house bill be passed by the senate. ; As to Capt. Ashe's proposition, it was the same as the former one, vot- Ing against the registration books, which contained a number of nemos- of persons not legally voters. Senator Drewry said he now advo ated the extension ot the limits of the city of Raleigh, as he had always stood for the advancement of Raleigh . m every way. He -oeiieyea in a lair reasonable extension, and would not op- pose the house bin if he thought It was . fair. But it (started out with -the sup-. position that the eity was to be ex tended. The .people within the quarter mile would vote to tak in the others, c or else vote against any extension. The bill of the board of aldermen be agreed to because it took in A quarter of a mile any way without any vote whatsoever save as to the extension. . '" .-.. i The bill as It stands eliminates the ' man altogether who is opposed to any . .-xtensjon at all. W, Mr. Drewry was applauded when he" said he should (not serve on the commit- '. tee, but leave It to the other members ' as a jury. - He had, he said, been perhaps too progressive at times for his own op ponents had kone co tar as to say he v as opposed to city extension and bad made pledges against it. He had mad,-' " aa pledge' tor- or MaiMK. 8t Ms ob-' ponents had spread that idea and many " persons had gone to him and skd him about tt on on -aide' or the other. . Mr. Drewry aid that in order, to ' do away with dlsoord lie had finally said he would consent to go a mile In each direction without any election, Hf all parties would agree to it, hut they would fiot The trouble wttll Raleigh -always was that there were fautloas on every question that cams up.
