ASH EXTENSION Of
FOREST HILL LINE
PROPERTY OWNERS IN CITY WEST
OF FOREST HILL HAVE
PETITION.

Strong argument is presented by
the citizens and property owners in
the territory west of Forest Hill Park,
in their petition to the Virginia Rail-
way and Power Company for extern
sion Of the Forest Hill car line to and
including the village Of Granite. The
petition, presented by committee
headed by George f. Wise, is signed
by some hundred and thirty citizens.
The petition has been received by
the Virginia Railway and Power Com
pany and 1t Is being given thoughtful
consideration.
The extension asked is from the
present terminus of the Forest Hill
line in Forest Hill Park. Ito point
on the Westham, or River, Road, in
Chesterfield County. where said River
Road intersects the Bon Air Road,
just east OF where the Belt Line Rail-
road crosses the River Road.
Have Grown Together.
THE growth and prosperity OF the
city Of Richmond and OF the Virginia
Railway and Power Company have
gone hand in hand during past years
says the petition. The extension OF
street railway lines in many directions.
far beyond the city's corporate limits
in years past. may not have been i'm
mediately profitable, but the present
largely Increased area of the city. and
the present prosperity OF the railway
system have. in large measure, been
direct Results of these extensions"
The petition points out that while
many of the extensions are yet be-
yond the city limits the present ter
minus of the Forest Hill line is now
we'll within the city limits. The facts
that the city Is now installing electric
street lights and that within a short
time the city will extend sewers. wa
ter mains and other city conveniences
and that the Virginia Railway and
Power Company Is now serving cleo
trio light for residences In the terri
tory through which the extension Is
asked, are presented.
Deserve Better Service.
That a large number OF people, now
patronizing the Forest Hill line, live
considerable distances west of the
present terminus and are compelled
to walk is set forth.
THE railway company has" says
the petition. during all these years
derived revenue from all these patrons
who have patiently waited until now
for an extension of service"
The company's petition to the CITY
Council for a thirty-year franchise Is
quoted to show the proposed surren-
der Of Forest Hin Park to the city
to be used as public park, and the
petition for extension continues that
the building of a bridge from Reser-
vor Park across the river to Forest
Hill Park Is essential to the unity OF
the two parks.
NOW" continue dthe petition. "the
union of the two parks. you so warm

the city, would be a tremendous ad-
