Former Governor Montague and

Realizing the commercial possibili-
ties and the benefits that will acrue
from the opening of a new railway
line into the territory between West
Point and Urbanna, a number OF rep
resentatives business men, members
OF the Chamber OF Commerce and
other local business organizations, will
accompany local bankers and promot-
ers to West Point and Urbanna next

Former Governor Montague and

business out of the section the pro-
posed West Point-Urbanna road 10 to

NEW BRIDGE PLANNED
ACROSS PAMUNKEY

West Point. July is.--The O. d. I.
Corporation has driven line of test
piles across the Pamunkey River
from the foot of Fourteenth Street to
the New Kent side.
The length of bridge at this point
will be about the same as that OF the
Gresham Bridge across the Mattaponi,
but the depth to hard bottom will
necess.tate longer piles,
Crosby Thompson, president of the
company, states that, in his opinion.
the cost would not be excessive and
that he expected to ask for a govern
ment permit for the erection of this
bridge within very short time.
A number OF citizens were inter-
viewed on the subject of the Manhat-
tan Bridge and all were frank In ex-
preston of the opinion that 1t will do
more for West Point than the Ores
ham Bridge did. but that It will great
ly increase the value of the Gresham
Bridge. both as dividend payer and
as an asset to the town. In fact the
building of the second bridge assures
the success of both.
Mr.. Thompson said that the new
bridge would be built by public sub
scription and the type of construction
would not be decided on until the
company had been formed and stock
subscribed.
To make the bridge available for
railway service will cost at least s25.-
900 more than simple highway
bridge. but II Is well worth the dir
ference and it Is hoped that SUFFICIENT
money can be raised TO make II pos
sible to run line of railway across
this a,ridge TO Toafo. sGEsf 80

DECLARES FOR
ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION


Petersburg. Va, Jn4y 1s.-sAt-
torney General John Garland Pollard.
passing through Petersburg yesterday
made the following statement in re-
gard to future prohibition Iegisla-
ton:
4 want the liquor question taken
out OF politics absolutely. A. long
as It Is kept in politics 1t il bound %
obscure other important issues ard
the interests Of the State will suffer.,.
The Attorney General. continuing
his conversation on the subject Il
whiskey in politics. declared that he
believed that the only way In which
1t could be got out would be to enact
legislation guaranteeing genuine pro-
hibition 80 far as the Legislators
could do 20. and electing oficials
which would enforce the law.
II believe IL would be wise for the
Legislature to place at the disposal o.
the Governor q fund TO permit him TO
take charge In 4 locality in which the
law IS not enforced and see that en-
forcement Ii secured. The Constitu-
ton lays upon him the duty to sec
that the laws are enforced, but he
has no fund to pay the cost OF en-
forcement through such action as he
might be disposed to take.
To Enj0in Liquor Sellers.
II believe. too" continued Mr.. Pol
lard. that II would be well to pro-
vide that men known to be violating
the law In selling liquor may be en-
joined. and then punished for con-
tempt OF court If they repeated the
violation.
And / am inclined to think" Mr..
Pollard said. that 1t would be well to
give to the Supreme Court of Appeals
of Virginia the power to remove or.
ficials of any county or city who
should fail to enforce the law. I be-
lieve this would prove highly effective
in securing law enforcement"
Regarding the form of prohibition
az provided in the Enabling Act. Mr.
Pollard holds a view that r. little
short OF startling coming as IL does
from such an ardent proh.bitsonist
Il have reached the deliberate COM
clusion,' said Mr.. Pollard. that It
would be better for the people of Viz
ginia not to have any form OF oro1
hibition than TO have only that which
Is provided for in the Enabling Act.
For instance. that act has nothing 20
say concerning locker clubs III there
be no legislation against these 1t Is
going to be impossible to have any.
thing like genuine prohibition in the
State. could mention a number of
particulars in which the system III
provided for by the En-
abling Act Is woefully defective. We
shall have to enact legislation this
winter which will put teeth in the
law. otherwise we shall
not be any better off than we would
be were there no law on the subject
at all.
The only way in the world we are
to get the liquor question out OF poll
ties is by enacsing legislation which
will assure absolute prohibition"

1t is believed the matter of con-

Many have changed their residences

Accordingly, It behooyes every man

AIOR& tHIS MAJOE ~
Cheatwood, OF the once of the COM
missioner Of revenue whose many
years of observation has placed him
in the position of knowing what
should be done at the proper time,
suggests that an ofYicial be named to
look after this work continuously
man who can devote several hours a
day all the year around to the work
OF directing the voter toward the goal
As II stands now. there are many
men who have to go to the ONCE OF
the mmissioner OF the revenue, and
then to the treasurer's once, and then
to the ONCE of the clerk of the Hust-
ings Court. Then even II may be that
some hitch may occur. and his vote
may be lost.
The idea % suggested by Major
Cheatwood liz that man be on hand
in City Hall every day, at hours con-
yenient to the citizen. who may look
after all the details and see that
every man who has paid his taxes IL
correctly registered and placed on the
voting list. so time may be saved on
the part of the registrar and the
voter. This proposition may be pre-
scented at an early meeting of Coun-
Gil
