DANGER IN LOSS
OF DOCK TO CITY
Business Men Generally Aroused,
and Steps to Secure Prompt
Action Are Discussed.
WHAT CHANGE WOULD MEAN
MI. Bcnniss Declares Property Is
i'll Market and Offer Has
Been Made.

Citizens generally were aroused yes
terday to the danger to the CONNER
cial interest of Richmond in the pas
sage of tho remainder of the TriSs
Shipyard property, including the dock.
into the hands OF private concerns. Il
development that now appears immi-
nent.
AS a result of water competition
Richmond to-day enjoys freight rates
much lower than those prevailing in
other cities less fortunate in natural
resources for holding the railroads in
check. Should the dock be secured by
individuals, who might desire to drain
off the water and fill in the enclosure
for building purposes, or by corpora :
tons that might find it TO their ad-
vantage to prevent public use of the
dock.
Neighboring manufacturing plants
would suffer a disastrous blow and
the city itself would find its shipping
facilities seriously crippled. and it's
hicf assurance of q continuance of
favorable freight rates practically re-
moved The only resource then would
would be the outlay of great sum
for the construction of a new dock in
another place.
This. in view of the fact that tho
present property can be secured for
about s125,oOo is sufficient to cause /,
general demand that the proper au-
thoritics take prompt and effective &C
ton before the opportunity Is lost.
What Mr.. Bemiss Says.
Mr. T.. l.. Bemiss. member of the
bondhoiders' committee of the Trgg Com
pany, has Just distributed the proceeds
of the sale of that portion of the prop
crty which was recently disposed OF to
the Southern Railway Comany,; and he
and his colleagues are now negotiating
for tbs sale of the rest of II to private
parties. Meanwhile various business .or.
garizotions have taken the matter up, anC
have by resolution and otherwise earn
estly urged that the City Council purchase
the property not only to prevent the
damage which would result from its be
ing filled up. but to provide ample dock
facilities for the shipping public.
When Mr.. Berniss was seen last night
and asked concerning the matter he
declared that it was true that his com.
nittee had a proposition for the pur-
chase of tbs property under advise
nient. He aiHl is..tollcagues would be
glad to scd tie city buy it. but the!
felt that their plain duty was TO, ths
creditors they represent, and would
therefore, make the sale as speedily a.
might be feasible, and at the sam,
time, on the best possible terms.
He does not know that the PROPOSE
tion referred 10 win be accepted bu
the property is on the market and j
+ the city wishes IL. the Council mus
take prompt action.
