The Union Bridge Cement Plant.

"A visit to the Cement plant, at Union
Bridge, while it is in operation, is pref
ty interesting experience, especially if
accompanied by some one who under
stands the various processes, and can
follow them in proper order. A permit
is necessary before the round can be
made, and this is wise rule, for the
reason that at certain places in the plant
there might be danger to those careless
ly disposed, or not physically or mentally
alert.
''The process, from the quarry to the
finished product can be easily followed.
1t is essentially business requiring vast
expenditure of power-heavy machinery,
powerful engines, great heat, every part
operated skilfully, by direction, rather
than by hard physical labor. The Union
Bridge plant, to a novice, looks to be a
model one; one substantially constructed
and very complete.
aside from the dust and smoke, the
plant is one which might be desired by
any live town; but these objections are
decidedly in evidence, and under proper
conditions of wind and atmosphere repre-
sents frst-class nuisance, especially to
those who enjoy cleanliness and fresh
ness about their homes. Just what
amount of actual damage is done to veg
citation, is perhaps somewhat yet in the
debatable stage, but the effect of the
dust on property is too apparent to dis
count-and we are assured that the effect
is interior as we'll as exterior.
Naturally, there is division of sent
iment in the town, as to the enterprise.
To some, it is business producer, and
these appear willing to put up with some
discomfort. To others, who are not ben
eftted in any way by the plant, but who
suffer the discomforts just the same, it
is resented nuisance.
ultimately, unless the complained-of
dust is suppressed. we imagine that the
population of the town must undergo a
change. With the plant running regular
ly, it will naturally continue to benefit
the business interests of the place, and
there will no doubt always be demand
for the presenter greater number
of dwellings,; but just as naturally, those
who are not for any special reason COM
PEELED to live in the dust and smoke-laden
atmosphere, and will elect to go else
where for their greater comfort.
1.-THE State Board of Health is now
considering the question-th dust and
smoke conditions--as it comes within the
province of that Board, and considerable
interest is manifested in the outcome-ar
interest that has numerous possibilities.
To an outsider, the situation is only par
TALLY appreciated, but those who live
there have real opinions, and some ex.
press them very emphatically. "-Carrol

ing that the bill would prove an en-
tering wedge for the State to engage

Defended by Senator Gravatt.
Senator Gravatt relied chiefly upon
the experience of Illinois In the lime
stone grinding Industry, for iustiti-
cation OF the measure under discussion
II Illinois could grind tho product and
furnish it TO its farmers at cost OF
90 cents per ton in bulk, and 81 per tor
In sacks, he saw no reason why tbs
State OF Virginia could not do tho
same. He charged the opposition with
an attempt to kill tho 5i!l by binding
the eyes Of the Senate with limestone
and constitutional dust. When op-
ponents Of measure find out the
weakness Of their position, he obsery-
ed. they lose no time In invoking the
unconstitutional bugbear
TO the charge that It was class leg
isiation. Senator Gravatt replied tina,
any legislation having for its objec,
the enrichment OF the coll and the
development OF agriculture, must In
the end rebound TO the benent of the
entire population, since all wealth Is
derived from tho soil. He quoted from
the agricultural reports of the State
or Illinois to show the increased use
OF ground limestone In that State. In
1909 more than 1000 tons of the pro-
duct were produced. In 1910 the pro-
duction, he said. had Increased to A.
SIS tons; and in 1911 to 1921 tons
Theories Sometimes benefit
The objection of Senator Smith the
day before. that the bill was based on
an unsubstantiated theory, thought
senator Gravatt, was far from con
elusive evidence that At was not meri-
torious. He pointed to the scicntihc
revolutions which grew out of the the
cries of Sir-Isaac Newton, Calico, Rob
ert Fulton and Marconi. Every pro-
Irossive movement, he said, was in its
inception jccred BY the multitude as {.
theory.
The chair put the amendment offered
by Senator Tave.lncr the day before,
which directed that the board dcs!g-
mated by the Till shall. before enEag-
ing in the lime grinding business, make

Here and There
in the Legislature

y good many objections were urged
yesterday morning before the House
Committee on Finance against the
West bill requiring fee officers TO keen
RECORDS OF their receipts. The bill was
postponed from time to time in tho
Senate committee to allow It's oppo-
nents TO be heard. but they did not
Put IN an appearances. and its patron
thought the hearings were set nurely
for delays.
The committee reported the bill with
an amendment eliminating justices Of
the peace. This change makes il easier
OF nassagc In the House. but would be
likely TO give reason for its death
in the Senate on u vote to concur In
the amendments.
An effort win be made to get the
bill up In the House to-day out of its
order. Colonel r. l." Brewer, JT.. OF
suffolk, VIII urge its passage
