A QUEER EXPLANATION.

Col. Walter II. Taylor said before the
Board OF Harbor Commissioners. that
the Norfolk and Western withdrew it's
application to build out n long pier on
the north side of the present coal piers
at Lambert's Point. and asked for per-
mission to build a pier on the south
side. in order to save time. The more
this statement is considered the more
strange it must seem in view OF the
facts.
In the first place. the final hearing on
the old application before the Board of
Harbor Commissioners was to take
place at the very session at which the
old application was withdrawn and the
new submitted 1t was only reasonable
to suppose that the Commissioners
would take some time to inform them
selves before granting the new applica-
ton. How, then. was time to be saved
by the change in the application? AS
to the first proposition, the Harbor
Commissioners had all the facts before
them. They had given several hearings
on 1t already, and had abundant data
Mt hand for arriving at decision. one
way or the other How It could posi-
bly, save time and facilitate matters.
then. to submit an entirely now propo-
siton. is riddle that only Colonel Tay-
Tor can read. Even had the BOARD
acted on the new application Mt once no
time would have been saved. since it
was expected that they would act on
the first application at that same meet
ing.
TO be sure. II was subsequently ex-
planned that Colonel Taylor had in
mind the fact that the new application
would not have to be passed on by the
Federal authorities; yet n concession
north OF the present pier could have
been granted out to the Groner Board
Port Warden's line. and the Norfolk
and Western could then have used it's
own pleasure as to whether it would
ask the Secretary of War to be allowed
to go further
Certainly this explanation OF the Nor
folk and Westerns change of plan was
not so plain or ingenious as to war
rant Col w. II. Taylor in proceeding
from it to impugn the motives or ques-
ton the good faith of others in The mat
ter. as he did in alleging that time was
not wanted for investigating the new
proposition. but to make an attack ON
the Norfolk and Western.
The VirginianP Pilot has not made any
attack on the Norfolk and Western and
has not the slightest purpose TO do so.
IT opposed a plan of the Norfolk and
Western which appealed to it as en-
croachng on this harbor. 1t did so
with a full understanding of the facts
in the case, after n thorough investsa-
ton. and not from any "misapprchen-
sion of the facts" In tho regular
course of it's protest 1t cited some rather
unpleasant facts concerning the Nor
folk and Western for the information
of the public and as warning to the
Board of IIarbor Commissioners. Had
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-08-14
WHAT TO ALLOW THE NORFOLK
AND WESTERN.

The Iarbor Commissioners should
grant the Norfolk and Western Rail
way Terminal Company permission to
construct as many coal piers at Ldmjcus
Point us its business requires: provided
only that such piers shall not so be-
yond the line formerly recommended
by the United States Advisory Board.
which line lays about 500 feet in shore
from the Lambert's Point light. This
is as far as the Groncr Board OF Uar-
Dor Commissioners were empowered to
permit the Norfolk and Western to
build its piers. AS the Virginian- Pilot
has shown, the concession for the pres
ent long pier was granted on the sole
authority of General Groncr, who was
then Chairman of the Board of Harbor
Commissioners, and was subsequently
confirmed by the Board, without au-
thorty in the premises and under pro-
test
The present long coal pier of the
Norfolk and Western Railway at Lam
berts Point should be shortened by
cutting it off back eight hundred feet
TO the line recommended by the United
States Advisory Board, and beyond
which the railway was permitted to
build the pier only because it's plies
were already driven when the matter
came before the Board of Harbor Com
missoners, who did not wish to incur
the expense of having them removed.
If, however, after careful considera-
ton, the Board of Harbor Commission
erS shall decide to disregard the wishes
of the citizens of this port. and permit
the Norfolk and Western Railway
Company to so beyond the line recon-
mended by the United States Advisory
Board. then the granting Of this valua-
| bic concession should be conditioned on
an ample bond binding the railway
company to shorten the present piers
| and the proposed new pier. at it's own
expense, by cutting away eight hun
dred feet of them next to the channel
whenever they shall be hereafter adj
judged by the proper authorities TO be
an obstruction to navigation or an in
jury to this harbor.
In view of all the facts as they have
been developed by investigation, it IS
not certain that the Harbor Commits
sioners have authority TO do more than
this plan contemplates. while it is GER
tain that more cannot be done with due
regard for the interests OF this harbor
present and future. This would give
the Norfolk and Western Railway any
amount of facilities for handling its
greatly increased coal business, and it
would settle once for all the general
principle that all applicants for harbor
privileges will be given the best treat
ment consonant With the shipping in
terests of this port, but that none will
be allowed special or undue privileges
to the injury of our harbor. The COM
munities around this port would not
be satisfied with n settlement on any
other basis.
