At meeting OF Henr1co property
holders held Tuesday evening ii Gifford's
Hall in the county, steps We're taken
looking to the establishment of a new
branch electric line to run from Harr1-
tional Cemetery, along the route Of VIII
Harrisburg Avenue. Practically all OF
those present enthusiastically pledged
themselves to do their part in securing
the railway and a committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon Mr.. Fritz Sitter,
ding, president of the Virginia Passenger
and Power Company, and ascertain il
the company would not meet them half
way.
The meeting was held at 8 O'Clock and
was quite largely attended. Mr.. r. T.
Moncure was made chairman, and Mr..
l.. H. Kemp secretary. Short speeches
on the matter In hand were delivered
by Mr.. Samuel P. Waddill, DR.. Harrison,
DR.. John Wilde, Mr.. Jacob Clifford, Mr..
W. Smoot. Mr.. Carleton, and Mr.. Ed
ridge These gentlemen were unanimous
in commencing the scheme and thought
the project an eminently practical and
feasible one. A general belief that the
railway company will look at the matter
in the same light was manifested.
With a view to getting the matter
properly fefore the authorities of the
company a committee of representative
residents and property holders was ap-
pointed to wait upon Mr. Sitterding and
lay the proposition before him with the
assurance that the Henc1,o folks mean
business and will do their part. This
committee is composed OF Messrs. C.. L.
Denoon. S. P. Waddill and Farrand and
DR.. R. l.. Harrison, and DR.. Wilde.
The proposed line, as indicated above.
will run from Harrison's drug store to
the cemetery 1T will serve to develop
property along its route and will also
open up to Richmonders an interesting
territory which is not at this time COW
cred by an electric service.

County Court of Henrico, Is evidently
bent on breaking up the sale of whiskey

may lead to a revocation Of the licenses
of the offenders. and he appears deter

ments of a similar character.
