PETERSBURG. VA. April s.-(specinl)
Mr.. Robert l.. Watson, one OF our most
nrominent tobacconists and most re-

cash when the Virginia and Carolina
road is completed. the city mean while
TO hold a vendors lien on the property.
What action the Council will take In
the premises Is not known. and probably
IT Will not be In a hurry to act on the
proposition.
