The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1894-02-20

SEVERAL years ago prominent Balti-
MORGAN of wealth, who had travelled
throughout great part Of the world
came home from some years spent in
Europe and during q trip to Virginia
became SO infatuated with the attrac-
tions of what was then known as
Liberty, now as Bedford City, on &C
count OF its charming climate, winter
and summer, and the purity of its water
and the many advantages as q home
and health resort, that he determined
to invest large part Of his means in
building up Bedford City as one of he
home and resort cities of the South.
The writer often had the pleasure of
hearing him tell OF its charms OF
climate and beauty of scenery and
healthfulness and of what he expected
to see in the way of progress during the
next few years. Unfortunately for the
completion of his projects, just when
they were we'll under way he died.
Partly under the stimulus which his
work gave to the town company was
organized TO build a fine hotel and the
result was the construction OF Hotel
Bedford 1t cost OF $4,000 No pains
nor exnense was spared to make this
one OF the most beautiful and COMPLETE
hotels in the South. IG is elegant in
design and modern and complete in all
OF its appointments and admirably
suited for winter ana summer resort,
or for large school or sanitarium. 1t

ANNOUNCEMENT.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
The demand for the Worlds Fair port
folios, Tho Magic City" have been SO
great that new supplies OF Nos. l, Q and
8 nave been ordered and will be here in
day or SO ready for those who wish to
complete their file with the first mum
bers.
No 4, an exquisite part, is now ready.
1t can be had at THE TINES office.
beginning with to day we will require
but ono coupon and ten cents for any
one part Of this great work. Coupons
will DO issued as usual each day, but
instead of waiting for six, as formerly,
one, with dime, for each part will be
accepted.
NO FURTHER MONOPOLY Is WANTED
Council has acted promptly and in this
instance in thorough accord with the
sentim hts Of the community in placing
the stamp OF condemnation upon sec
ton in the charter asked for by the
Gas and Water Company at the hands of
the general assembly. The section re-
ferred to would, if passed, give the com
pany right to acquire, by condemnation
proceedings, any Glands or springs or
other sources of water supply needed for
the purposes of said company" in cases
where the owners cannot agree upon the
terms OF purchase.
The granting of that ono section
would confer upon that company a com
plete monopoly of the entire situation.
1t would make them from now hence
forth, one company solely empowered to
furnish the water supply. possibly, too,
the light supply for this city and its
people. The provision allows of no re-
stric tions whatsoever, and the abuse
possible under it is appalling to contem
plate.
1t becomes shrewd business transac-
ton, and usually legitimate, for any cor
poration or company to buy out all'of
its competitors If it can make the proper
arrangements with them, but when
1t comes to giving them the right to
secure under condemnation proceedings
any and every thing which they need
or anything that gives Indications of
becoming menacing TO their interests
then the people have right to object.
This section Of the charter would con-
fer rights higher than even the city AT
the State under ordinary circumstances
possesses. 1t gives to ono company a
veritable lead pipe cinch" for one of
the most important public works.
Just at this time when the city is de-
string to free itself from any and evory-
thing that savors of monopoly that it
may throw out Inducements to outside
capital and outside parties to como to
Roanoke to live or TO invest their money,
1t is seemingly an unwise move upon
the part of such q corporation backed
by men who have other interests at
stake to think of subiectine anv now
Corners to any such monopoly as thew
would be were this charter in it's en-
tirety to be granted
The assurance has been given than
the objec tionable feature will be
stricken out and not be asked for by the
company. We trust that this will be
done without further consideration, but
IT not done, then the people have a
right to arise in their might and de-
mand that the general assembly allow
no such measure to pass.
