HASTEN TOAPPEAL
Supreme Court Grants Writ to
One, and Will Consider Case
on Merits.

Both sides to n suit in the Circuit
of Norfolk city were SO COM
plctcly dissatisfied with It's judgment
that they instituted a race TO see which
could appeal the quickest. Petitions
from each litigant were hurried TO the
Supreme Court. That tribunal has
solved the problem BY granting an
appeal to one and by not acting on
the other, giving tho latter, however,
The right of having its petition printed
In the record of tho case.
The suit was brought by the Lam
bcrtfs Point Company against the Nor
folk and western Railway Company.
These concerns are owners OF con-
0tiguous land on the eastern shore Of
the Elizabeth River at Lambcrt's Point.
1t appeared that the port warden's line
(ihc line of n~avigahility) at that Mace
was of greater extent than the com
bined shore lines of theNtwo owners.
I'll plaintiff therefore asked thatth
line he npportioncd and That a division
line between them. over the flats from
low water to the port wardcn's line, be
defined and established by decree Of
court. iMt H Ht "
a commissioner was appointed. and
in his report he recommended that the
entire shore line be not considered. but
that there be excluded a large section
Of the Norfolk and Westerns shore
line south OF Lemhert's Point. and OF
the PLAINTIFFS shore north of that
point. A second report was later filed,
and the parties were dissatisfied with
The DEGREES rendered by the court. Tho
Iambcrt's Point Company gets the APP
peal in the Supreme Court. but the
Norfolk and Western may come in n
iilc such papers ms IL wishes.

The Council Committee on Light will

which says that sixty days notice 10
vacatc must he given by either party.
1t has been stated on the floor OF the
Council that The city can buy the fix
lures for less than the rental cost, but

belief that such articles are patented.
and that n rental contract is better

request to the people OF virginia
that May 4. the birthday of John
James Audubon, should be observed
especially in the public schools. This
is done at the especial solicitation ot
Miss Katherine IL. Stuart. field agent
of the Audubon Society In rirginin. Y
The day mentioned has already been
set apart By the State Bourd OF Edu-
cation as Bird Day In tho schools.
Many efforts have been made OF re-
cent years to secure the Interest of
teachers and pupils i'll study and pre-
~servation OF bird life. such being par
ticularly the ease ut the annual state
conferences on education.
Public schooi teachers are furnished
with material regarding birds, their
habits. their value and tho loss in
volvcd In their destruction. with tho
request that it be Impaired to those
under their charge. III this way II is
hoped that the next generation Will
be imbued with the desire to protect

sters. The birthday of the naturalist
Audubon is regarded as a suitable
time for public exercises in the schools.
