ON DOUBLE TRACK
FOR FOURTEENTH STREET
Anderson Says Improvement Depends
on Amount Company Must
Spend on Church Hill.
CAN SPEND $4,000 a MONTH
Limited Allowance for improvements,
Company's Vice-Prcsiicnt Reports,
VIII Prevent Meeting Subcommit-
tees Request Just Now.

Vice-Prcsident Henry w. Anderson
Of the Virginia hallway and Power
Company, reported TO the subcommit-
tee from the Committee on Streets an
pointed to consider the proposed Four
teenth Street double trucking. yester-
day, that the company, while disposed
to look favorably on this improvement
can not. under the conditions that OBJ
tain at present. undertake to carry II
out.
The directors OF tho company, said
Mr.. Anderson, have made an appropri-
alton OF $4,000 a month for improve
nents. This, he said. represents the
limit OF the company's resources for
improvements at present. and can not
be enlarged Pressing demands for re-
construction on Southside and subur-
ban lines, he said, and the impending
reconstruction OF undetermined extent
on Church Hill. leave no margin out
OF which to finance the Fourteenth
Street double tracking.
IMPROVEMENT DEPENDS ON
AMOUNT SPENT ELSEWHERE
In view OF the circumstances Mr.
Anderson asked that this matter be
allowed to lie on tho table pending a
final agreement on the Church Hill re-
construction. He made Il clear that
the promptncss with which the Four
teenth Street situation will receive at
tcn;ion. Will depend largely upon the
amount OF money the company will he
called upon to expcnd In meeting the
Councils demands on Church Hill
Chairman Jones, OF the subcommittee
was inclined to look upon the proce cd
ing as an effort on the part Of the COM
pany to hold the Fourteenth Street I'm
proVcmcnt as whip over the members
interested In this matter. TO induce n
favorable adjustment OF the Church
Hill controversy AS q member from
\, nfI 81 ~
interested In the Fourteenth street i'm
provement. he said he did not like to
be placed in the position OF being
forced to meet the company's views In
other sections of the city In order to
secure favorable action on the Four
tecnth Street project
DISCLAIMS ANY INTENTION
TO TAKE UNDUE ADVANTAGE
Mr.. Anderson clnphaticaly dis
claimed any intention on the part Of
tho company TO take advantage OF the
situation. pointing out that the Coun-
ell had unQuestioned authority to
compel II to execute rcconstructions
on Church IIIll which may cost any
where from $4,000 to $4,000 With
the limited amount at the company's
disposal for improvements in the next
six months, he said. the cost of tho
Church Hill work would necessarily
determine the company's ability TO un-
dertakc improvements elsewhere In tho
city.
Councilman English. the other mem
Der OF the subcommittee in attendance.
favored laying the matter on the table
Upon the assurance OF Mr.. Anderson
that the company looks favorably on
the Fourteenth Street Misunderstanding
and that it will endeavor to carry IL
out on n perhaps modified plan as soon
as the financial end IS adjusted, Mr..
Jones consented TO the tabling.
