ROANOKE DOCK
Proposal to Fill the Slip For
Various Reasons.
Iso to Lny Railway Tracks 10 the
River Front Would Help to
Relieve the Congestion on water
street.

While passing along Water street yes
terday afternoon the attention of a
Virginian- Pilot reporter WAS called to
the condition of Roanoke Dock at the
head of the old slip that exists there,
and is believed by many to have long
out-lived its usefulness.
prominent business man who is To-
Gated near Roanoke Dock stated that
this slip is foul and unhealthy, and
nearly always in an unsanitary condi-
ton. This is especially noticeable. he
stated. at low tide, when the receding
water lays bare Il mass of purifying
vegetable and animal matter.
When the reporter visited the place
yesterday the approach to the slip was
Uttered with watermelon rinds and re-
fuse, much of which fall or are Knocked
over into slip.
1t is, of course. against the law to
throw refuse into the slip, but our in
formant states that they get there just
the same. and the condition of the
place can be readily seen at any time
when the tide is out.
He advanced the suggestion that this
slip be filled in and the street extended
to the river front; also that the Nor
folk and Western Railway Company be
requested TO lay double switch track
along the street TO the river front. with
the permission of the Councils.
This, ii is believed. will be OF imme-
date benefit, not only by an abolition
of unsan;ary conditions. but also re-
suit in an enhancement of property
values along that portion of the street

ties for loading and unloading from
