A Larger Richmond

The Richmond City Council passes an ordinance to expand the city limits.

The City Council has at last passed an ordinance slightly increasing the boundary limits of Richmond and the Mayor has signed the compromise measure which has been adopted. He does not hesitate to say that it is faulty, but hopes to have some of the defects remedied by amendments. The fight was very bitter and it is a surprising thing that any agreement was reached in the matter.
