AR. George IL. bciiile't, Guy auulor,
who is thoroughly acquainted with
the financial condition OF the city,
and being among the early RESI-
dents IS well acquainted by study
and observation WIN FER resources:
said he did not think one seventh of
the ireehoiaerS OF me city'ii lhc quG'-
tloil Was lair'v pu. pel"Ee tle peol'ic'
would vote against the PROPOSE
ZION The Roanoke ana Southern hai!-
road when completed would be worth
So 900, 600 to the city, from the fact
that, apart from the good tic road
itself would do, it would result in
bringing one or more other railroads
10 the city.
Commissioner OF the Revenue Z.
N. Turner said most cmphatically
that lie was il favor OF voting the
amount.
Councilman +. X. Woodward was
also in favor of building the road and
favored the additional appropriation.
The road he said, was needed for COM
mercial reasons. Danville had
just voted $4,000 for a road
reaching towards Bristol, and it was
very important for Roanoke 70 have
another outlet
Judge Samuel q. Williams thought
the road was so important that there
could be no question rs 10 whether
the additional Sl00.G09 should be
voted.
Nr. C. ". C. Woo!wiile believed the
cjty woull be greatly benefited by
rhc Roanoke and Southern Railroad
and thnuaht the additional; snDscrip-
ZION shonld be voted for.

City Cornell when asked by the re-
porter il he favored giving the add
jional $lo9,o0o, said, No sir, the city
has voted :;l0o,cO0 and can not afford
70 give any more. We need moneyfor
street improvements and for adding 10
the health and comfort of the people.
But" asked the reporter, would
not the completion OF the road add
greatly 10 the value o. city real estate,
and by increasing the population and
wealth OF the ci'y increase tle rev
enue 10 such an extent that this ad-
tionai appropriation cou!o pe e"sii!
