NEWPORT NEWS, March H-Special)
1t can be stated positively that the New
port News Abattoir Company has selected
its site for the sl.500,OOO abattoir to be es-
tablshed here shortly, and it will not be
the site of twenty-five acres offered by the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad on its main
line lust outside of the city. The Old
Dominion Land Company mas offered fifty
acres Of land 10 the new company, and
the offer has been accepted.
The land offered by the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad was found to be too low
and too moist for the purpose Of the com
pany, as cellars will be required in all of
the buildings. The Old Dominion Land
Company offered at first a large tract
near Morrlson's, but that was TOO remote
from the city. Now the company offers
fifty acres near the corporate limits. II
