The plan is to put Newport News III
the First District, represented by ". a..
Jones, ana leave Norfolk in the Second,
represented by Mr.. Maynard. Norfolk,
as a seaport and as n naval shipbuildlng
port, demands that she be given congress
sional representation separate and apart
from the city OF Newport News, which Is
not only her commercial rival. but which
Is working all the time In the interest
OF the building OF wnrships by private
contract, while Norfolk Is at the same
time working in the interest of tho
building OF warships BY the government
1t Its own navy yards.
