.GINTER PARK IS
To MAKE PROTEST

Showing bitter opposition TO the
plan of the Virginia Railway and
Power company TO abandon their
tracks from Ginter Park to Lake
side, the citizens of Ginter Park at
IL mass meeting last night In the school
house decided to wage a fight against
the proposed plan They declared
that If need he they would take the
case to the Supreme Court of Nir-
ginia 10 test the right of the street
car company to abandon the line be-
tween these two points.
A committee from the Virginia
Railway and Power company will APP
pear before a meeting of the Henrico
board of supervisors today in the
courthouse and ask for the right to
run the. tracks out the Hermitage
road to Bryan park instead of Lake
side park. A committee comprising
DIR. F. w. Stiff. Frank T. Sutton, Sr,,
Chris Garnett, John W. Williams and
L. Ruffin was appointed at the mass
meeting to appear at the same time
before the board and explain the at
titude OF the Ginter park people in
regard TO the street car company's
proposed plan.
Among those who took an active
part In the mass meeting were
number of women of the suburb,
number of them expressed their views
on the question.
by a vote which was practically
unanimous the citizens recommended
that the Henrico Gas company be
given the franchise TO install gas
mains in the town. Only one resident
of the community showed any OPP
position whatever to the granting of
the franchise. A short while prior
to the meeting last night the council
met committee from the gas com
pany and discussed the matter. The
plans submitted to the council by the
committee was agreeable and was &C
copied The councilmen's action was
heartily sanctioned by the residents
of the town

posal all the food and clothing neces-
sary to meet the loss of the sufferers

serious disease, and to rehahilitate the
thousands, many of whom have lost
their homes entirely. and all of whom
have lost their household and person
al effects"
