TO THE HARBOR COMMISSIONERS
WHO WILL FOOT THE
BILLS BY AND BY?

1t is matter OF. say. ten years or so
Mt the outside. until the demands OF
the commerce OF this port will necessj-
tate the condemnation and removal of
part of the present coal piers OF the
Norfolk and Western Railway at Lam
bert's Point. Either that will have to
ne done or the port will see trade that
logically belongs to 1t go elsewhere.
The concession for the building of
these piers to deep water was a free
GIT to the Norfolk and Western by n
lorner Board of Harbor Commission
ers. When 1t becomes necessary 10
reclaim that part of the ports water
way now INSTRUCTED by these piers.
who will foot the bills? The Norfolk
and Western Railway? Not much:
the port will pay the Norfolk and
Western about 100000 10 reclaim what
1t gave to the railway in 1883, and
what the railway has had the free use
of since that time.
Does the present Board of Harbor
Commissioners. with these facts before
1t. propose to repeat a business trans
action of this sort? Does the Board
of Harbor Commissioners need 10 be
told that 1t is question of n few
years only until the necessities OF our
rapidly developing commerce will com
pei the condemnation of part of this
proposed new pier. and the cities on
this harbor and Norfolk county will
then be mulcted for hundreds of thou
sands of dollars by way OF recomrens-
Ing the Norfolk and Western Railway?
Ihe most rudimentary business fore
sight should enable the Commissioners
TO see that II will be expensive folly
to permit the construction of n pier
that will have to be paid for by the
city and removed in the course of 81
few years. 1t would be n great deal
cheaper for this port to authorize the
construction of n couple of short piers
for the Norfolk and Western and then
pay the expense OF dredging for water
deep enough TO permit large ships 10
coal at them.
The Norfolk and Western should. of
course, have facilities for handling its
increasing traffic in coal The plain
proposition is. whether the Harbor
commissioners Snail permit 1T TO build
piers out to deep water in Elizabeth
river, thereby obstructing navigation.
or keep the river open ana let the rail-
way drcdge for deep water alongside
its piers. 1t Is an easy matter for our
obiiging Harbor Commissioners TO per-
nit the placing of Instructions in the
river now: by and by the removal of
these distractions will he less simple
and easy. Every device known TO the
law will be employed to prevent the
shortening of these piers when our
commerce shall demand that this be
undertaken. Why the city should bor-
row trouble and contract for expense
only the Harbor Commissioners seem
to understand.
The present piers are in the way. and
the port will soon have to pay for haV-
ing them shortened. That is the sit
uation. Every additional long pier
built merely increases the trouble and
expense we shall have when we come
to rectify the original blunder of 1888
This is the Virginian-P Pilots view OF
the matter. II 1t be In error, however;

Smallpox ~ Butte.

Butte, Mont, Jan. S.-The smallpox
suitation here remains unchanged and
there are plenty of sufferers to testify
that the disease has not spent itself. In
all, it is calculated that there are about
rs men, women and children now down
with the disease, and Of this number
about 40 are at the smallpox hospital
The balance are in private dwelling hous-
es, which are under quarantine. In all,
about 100 people have been victims OF
the disease, but only three deaths have oc.
CURED. There have been only four VI
five cases of genuine smallpox and all the
rest has been q very mild type, which il
generally called varioloid. With the ex.
ception Of the four or five cases men.
toned the people who have been attacked
have, as a rule, been in bed with fever
for one day and have been able to be uT
and about after that. Immediately fol
lowing the fever slight eruption ap

week it disappears.
