PROPERTY OWNERS.
PROTEST AGAINST GRANTING C.
AND y. PETITION.

At meeting of the Street Committee
OF Council Wednesday night several
property owners Oh lower Boush street
and that vicinity were present to pro-
test against the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company being allowed TO
build It's tracks across the foot of that
street and extend them up to within
| 100 feet OF CRANKY street as the COM
pany has asked permission of Council
To do. These property owners say that
| If the tracks are extended as proposed
| the value of the property in that sec
ton OF the city will be greatly depre-
ciated and the main thoroughfare con-
Meeting that portion of Norfolk west Of

The plan OF the c. {; O. is 10 extend
two Of its tracks across the foot OF
Boush street and run them up along
by the side OF Brooke avenue. on the

the road. The reason given by the road
| Tor Wishing to extend its track Is that
the switching of freight cars in conncc-
tion with loading the bargcs at tho
WharVes VIII be made more convenient
by reason OF greater trackagc facilities
The road has five tracks running I'M 10
Boush street, crossing the lower end OF
Duke street. This latter street was
sometime aSo closed for the convcn-
fence OF the c. ~ O.'s shining. and
'oush street was thus made the more
important rs thoroughfare, and the
citizens say If IL is crossed bv Inc
Tracks there Will be continual switch
