pany IS still forg n, ahead. They are
working as large a force of hands as
ever before, and are busy with various
orders. In some departments there has
been general rush of work in the last
few weeks which still continues.
The new blacksmith shop, which has
been in use for two weeks, is nearly
complete. Workmen are now putting
the windows in the ventilator frames
and the bricklayers are building wall
from tho foundation about four feet
high, which joins the iron sidinr.
Wnen this work is complete, the shop
Will be done. a second floor has been
put in a portion of this building which
will be used as n pattern shop Sow
oral pieces of new machinery have bee N
placed in the blacksmith shop, which
will greatly improve the facilities of
that department.
Perhaps one of the largest machines
in tho city is q now piece which has
been put in in the last few DAYS. 1t is
known as 1.-The boring MILL" but almost
any kind of general milling work can
be done on it. 1t is capable of BORN q
or turning large furnace bell which is
from eight TO ten feet in diameter.
j. E. Hough, the foreman of this
department, is busy getting his ma
chinery and FORCES in position and good
working order.
A large crane will also be put up in
this department to be used in raising or
moving heavy castings or forged pieces.
The foundry is crowded with orders.
and moro men are employee in that de-
partment than ever before.
Nearly all the mining companies in
Roanoke and Southwest Virginia have
orders in at this time, which are being
filled as rapidly as possible. Several
large castings, weighing anywhere from
5000 to 1000 pounds, are being made
for the Roanoke Iron Company.
The now bridge which is to span Roa-
noke river for the Development Com
pany is about half done. The Park
street overhead bridge is nearing com
pletion, and some work has been done
on the Henry street bridge. Two large
iron bridges for the Norfolk and West

the machine shop, is working quite a
largo force of hands. p. j. Keene,
foreman of the boiler shop, has not as
much work on hand rs several months
ago, but is finding employment for all
his men on the large quantity of job
work which is continually coming in.
Mr.. j. Il. Harting. the general fore
man, is kept busy. He is fine mo-
chanic and keeps each department. in
perfect order and system.
This splendid industry has main
tanned q position in the material devel-
opment of the city, which has won for
itself the greatest confidence, both on
the part of the business public and tho
workmen who are employed there. The
emf loyes arc paid good wages and are
never laid off for the lack of something
to do.
These works are now figuring on sew
eral large orders.

Traffic on tho Norfolk and Western is
on the increase and the company finds
it is short Of cars. Wheat is moving
with rush, large quantity coming
by way of Norton over the Clinch Val

MUNICIPAL TAXATION
The Subject of Discussion at the
Commercial Association.

The public discussion at the Com
mercial Club last night was Municipal
Taxation. a paper was read by Mr.. Ii.
j. Browne and lengthy. discussion fol-
lowed, participated in by Mr.. Browne,
Mr.. j. S. Simmons, Mr.. J. C. Rawn,
Col. Lewis, DR.. E. A. Parsons and
others.
Mr.. Browne held, in his address,
that the system of license, under which
Roanoke collects some $4,000 of her
money, was unwise, injudicious and
injurious in many respects. He claimed
that license taxes fell with unequal
weight upon the poor, while the rich
escaped them.
The entire amount of revenue needed
for the support of tho city, Mr.. Browne
claimed, could be raised by tax of
one dollar per hundred from the ground
alone, provided the assessment of the
ground value was honestly conducted.
The subject proved to BIO of such gen-
eral interest that, on motion of Mr..
Rawn, it was continued to noxt Satur-
day night, when more elaborate paper
Will be presented and tho discussion
followed up at length. On motion of
Mr.. Rawn general invitation was ex-
tended to the public, and special invi-
tatlon to the City Council, to be present
MIR. Jas. S. Simmons made o brief
but meaty address on the value of a
commercial association to n growing
city like Roanoke, and expressed him
sell hrmly in favor of more concerted
action, in Roanoke, in support of that
organization.
