ccaled. The motive suggested for the

ADVERSE TO THE TIDEwATER.
The State Corporation Commission has
given decision adverse 10 the Tide
water Railway in the question between
the Tidewater and the Belt Line as to
which shall maintain the crossing at the
point where the Underwater tracks are to
cross the Belt Line tracks back OF
Berkeley. The contention was made by
the Tidewater that Its acquisition OF the
charter of tho Elizabeth River Land and
Railroad Company made 1T an older cor
poration than the Belt Line, and that
the latter should therefore have to put
in the crossing and maintain the same,
the law being that crossings where
placed must be maintained by the older
railroad corporation. The decision of
the commission Is that the Belt Line is
the older corporation. and that the Tide
water Railway must maintain the cross
ing. The Underwater has the right of

ration Commission to the Supreme Court
