In the preliminary annual report of
President Kimball to tho shareholders
OF the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company he refers to the road as having
completed it's policy of extension and
having for the future to consider only
double tracking, extending terminal
facilities and otherwise improving
existing lines. This has led some to
think that the Norfolk and Western
had abandoned its efforts to secure an
entrance into Washington. A TINES
representative interviewed Vics Presi.
dent Bullitt yesterday in regard TO the
matter referred to-
cit is not correct to suppose that the
Norfolk and Western has abandoned it's
efforts to secure an entrance into Wash
ington or to complete its Cripple Creek
branch" said he. Both will be car
ried out in time. The former is pro.

cant. gold bonds, o, which $4,000, 900

building of the extension into Washing
ton and for terminal facilities and $780,.

that the company has extended as far

ROANOKE. VA, APRIL 90, 1898.
OUR WATER SUPPLY.


The synopsis OF the report OF the
special com mit:ee of Council relative to
the Moomaw spring will be read with
interest by all citizens. Water is
one OF the prime elements as necessary
TO life as earth and air, and it's monopoly
is as contrary to the natural rights OF
mankind as the monopoly of either OF
the others. 1t is undoubtedly the
sincere wish Of 90 per cent of the people
Of Roanoke that some time the city may
own its own water supply and give it to
the citizens at cost.
Tho Moomaw spring presents many
advantages as a source Of water supply,
but the public will require an exhaus.
tive examination of the subject in all
it's bearings before it will be prepared
to act intelligently thereon. In connec
lion Herewith it should be borne in
mind that the shrewd managers Of the
Gas and Water Company have carefully
investigated every spring within a i've
mile radius of Roanoke, and already
own several of them, but for engineer.
ing reasons rejected the Moomaw
spring, though they have had several
opportunities to purchase it. The
public will want to know:
First. All the engineering features
connected with the spring, its elevation
drainage basin, winter and summer
flow, and it's analysis.
Second. The cost OF constructing a
suitable supply reservoir and laying a
system of mains and pipes.
Third. The nature of the contract
with the Gas and Water Company for the
present water supply.
Fourth. II another aud better plan
may not obtain at lower price. In
connection herewith one of the lead ing
geologists in America and the president
Of the Government artesian wells com
mission, told the editor of THE TIMES
nearly two years ago, after an examina-
alton of the topography OF Roanoke val.
ley that an unlimited supply of water
could be obtained without difficulty by
sinking artesian wells, and that such
wells could be sunk with reasonable
certainty and at moderate expense.
THE TINES is convinced that the spe-
cial committee OF Council is acting with
the best interests of the city at heart,
and il urges the com mittee to continue
It's labors exhaustively and with the
clear understanding that the results of
its work are to be not for year but for
oil time.
Ono channel for its investigation
might with propriety be to ascertain
what power the Council has to regulate
the rates which the Gas and Water
Company may charge for the use of water.
If Council can regulate the rates charged
by the present orporation what would
be the sense of buying the Moomaw
spring, spending several hundred
thousand dollars and several years OF
time to attain a result which Council
might reach in less than sixty DAYS?
