WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN. 80. 1901

gucg HAS been the success OF the
Trigg ship yard 10 Richmond, that &C.
cording to some of the newspapers OF
that city, another one Is to be establish
ed there by company, the stock OF
which will be subscribed for by the
moneyed men, the railroad people, the
bankers, manufacturers, real estate and
other enterprising men OF that city, all OF
whom, having common sense, know
that what will benefit the city, must OF
necessity benefit themselves also.
Property is high 10 Richmond, and the
barbor there is so INSTRUCTED that for
years the city has been trying 1t have
Congress improve it. and the river there
is so shallow and 20 narrow that vessels
built there have to be launched side
ways, and no little inconvenience ia ex-
perieuced in obtaining ship building
material there. The property for o
ship yard here could be bought for o
song, the water is deep enough and
wide enough to launch and float the
largest seized ships. and iron and coal
and all other material for building yes
sells can be obtained here without the
slightest difficulty by both water and
railroad transportation, and landed di'
rectly where required. Then, too, naval
people and congressman who make ap'
preparations for naval vessels can come
here 10 thirty minutes and see how the
money is being expended. A ship ysrd
here in active operation would be Of
more advantage to the city than all the
asphalt streets and sewers that could
be made, and it would not increase the
tax rate farthing.
