The Norfolk Landmark is a little
hard on us on the matter OF the States
going to expense in the West Virginia

the State through contributing the
services OF. its Attorney General and
perhaps additional Office expenses, was
already spending money in this litisa-
ton, we were neither complaining OF
this procedure nor pleading for the
passage of the $4,000 appropriation
We wanted only to suggest an answer
to those indignant ones who were shout

Somebody writes u letter to two OF
our afternoon contemporaries inquir-
ine. as to the cost Of the Mayos Fridge
site. The writer argues that since the
terms of consolidation. as proposed,
require that Richmond shall purchase
this property for the erection OF new
bridge, the price at which 1t can be
secured ought to be fixed and made
/ public. His point is sound, and we
| thin, that an option on the properly
with a knock-down price attached'
might well have been secured as part
of the preliminary proceedings ana

at all to hunt for deal or fear JOB

doubt that the Corporation Commits

site Will be secured under condemna
ton at no more than Its fair markc
