Greed VS.. Progress.

To Editor of Virginian-Pilot
The people of Norfolk. after long,
patient striving after some substantial
recognition of her commercial, social
and climatic advantages, have during
the last decade hailed with peculiar
satisfaction the gradual raising of the
curtain that so long obscured the vision
of capitalists and manufacturers of this
and other sections. Through organized
efforts of the Business Mems Associa-
ton, Chamber of Commerce. the press
of our own and other cities, the at
tention of people all over the country
has been directed to this locality. and
it has become comparatively easy to
secure the financial cooperation of
investors in any attractive and pre-
scented enterprise. Perhaps nothing
has tended more to the growth of Nor
folk and establishment of various in
dustries than the trolley lines giving
quick and easy access to outlying dis
tricts. Witness the growth of that
section between Atlantic City and
Lambert's Point since the extension of
our street car lines in that direction;
but that is only the beginning of our
city's development westward.
Some months ago a number of Nor
folks most enterprising citizens, i'm
pressed with the trend of population
towards the shores of Hampton Roads.

and equipped first-class trolley line

tracts of the land through which the
road passes, has projected extensive
improvements at Sewells Point, in all
of which number of capitalists in
other cities have invested largely. The
road has been practically finished in
