Christmas travel became IN evidence
the latter part of the week and Mon
day and Tuesday was heavy through
Norfolk. The bulk of travel, however,
railroad men said, was not as heavy rs
in past years and fell considerably bq--
low the mark set by last Christmas.
While the travel is not as heavy az
usual 1T is as heavy as was expected
under the recent legislation which viz
tually retired holiday rates. While the
custom of holiday reunions viii OF
course survive the effects of the two
cent law the number of Christmas
homecomings has been considerably
cut down by the law. The Northwest
ern trains have been running close to-
schedule, such delays as exist being
due to the heavy run of baggage ana
express. Additional equipment has
been added to all trains.
The Norfolk citizen who is bending
his wits against the city council lis.
the matter of laying a walk in frous-
OF piece of local property he OWES
says that his act in deciding all but
ten inches of his property to his wife.
was entirely a defensive act. Mr.. CT
izen says that his property is mostly
in what ought to be the street, tIiar
when the street in question is given
its natural width the walk the city
wants him to lay would be out ia the.
road. When he suggested that the
other side of the street would be the
place for the walk, he wa told among
other things that only strip of ten
feet remained of the lot on the Other
side and that If the city ordered a walk
laid there it would have to take a
useless ten-foot strip Of land in re-
turn. Consequently impressed with
the idea of the strip barrier" Mr. Cit
izen got a ten-inch strip of his OWE
by deciding the rest of his lot to his
wife. Mr.. Citizen has a solution to-
the difficulty. 1t is to straighten the
street Mr.. Citizen proposes that the
city buy him the adjacent lot in ex--
change for his present lot and mUyes
his house and barn over to the new
location. He estimated the cost OF
moving at about 5000. Then he wopIGi
be glad to lay his walk.
