his company two years ago for . line

w. Kirk Matthews and General Mana
ger Sims Bailey appeared for the Rich
mond and Henrico Company. Mr.. Nell
son. Of the committee. said that the
objections met with In the West End
from property owners would not be
found In Fulton. a. the people OF Full
ton Hill and the SAtional Cemetery
section were ciamOring for relief.
The committee took no action beyond
requesting the engineers for the two
companies to prepare drawings and
maps showing exactly what II pro-
posed to be constructed, together with
the existing lines. These are to be
submitted to the City Engineer, who
will recommend to the committee any
changes in plan or routes he may see
ut. Captain Guigon asked that the
new company furnish his company
10
the tracks Of the old company it was
proposed to use In making extensions.
which was agreed to.
May Contest Joint Use Of Track.
Il is believed that there will be
strong objections from property owners
to some OF the routes proposed in the
West End and that the Virginia Rail-
way and Power Company viii contest
so large use Of its Broad Street
trackase as is proposed in the plans
outlined. For the present the com
mittee will not undertake public hear
ings until il knows more definitely
gust what is proposed. and what are
the relative needs Of the sections at
fected.
In regard to the application OF the
Virginia Railway and Power Com
pany, Captain Mills expressed himself
as opposed to franchises for single
track lines within the city limits, or
to the granting OF any franchise that
did not have a definite time liniil for
CONNIE neing and completing construc-
ton and beginning of actual opera
tion.
The subcommittee before whom the
various petitions are pending consists
of Ordway Fuller. chairman. and
