We. the undersigned, having at heart
the interest of our port. welcome all
improvements to our harbor. We favor
granting the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company permission to build
as many additional shorter piers at
l.ambertS Point as its business re-
quires. or may hereafter require. pro-
We'd said additional piers be not ex-
tended beyond the Port Wardens line.
recommended by the Advisory Board
VI tHc tIlIltQ NtdltS, WHICH line Is
| about 500 feet nearer the shore than
the present line. which was extended
out by the Groner Board in 1883 for the
benefit of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company.
The present long piers of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad Company, being
an obstruction to navigation and an
| injury to our harbor. we. therefore.
petition that the Groner Board line be
moved back. so as to conform to the
| line recommended by the United States
Advisory Board in 1883. and that the
ends of the present long piers to be
cut off about 500 feet.
| We protest against the proposed new
| piers being built out to the Groner
Board line. or beyond the Port War
| denis line recommended by the United
States Advisory Board as aforesaid.
| IT. however. after careful considera-
| ton. YOU should determine to disregard
| our request. and solemn protest, and
decide TO allow the proposed new pier
| TO he built ont into our harbor to the
present Groncr Board line. we ask that
in granting this valuable privilege that
| YOU require n bond with ample Sc
curity from the Norfolk and Western
| Railroad Company to cut off its pres
cnt piers and the proposed new pier
about 500 feet nj it's own expense, 50
| as to conform with the Port Warden s
line recommended by the United States
| Advisory Board. whenever the proper
authorities decide that ii is necessary
for the requirements of our harbor that
the proposed new pier and the present
piers should be cut off back to the
aforesaid line recommended by the
United States Advisory Board:
