President William II. White. OF The

by Judge w. l.. Rhca, OF the State Cor
porition Commission. that the com
pany's application to make t.lhn sta
ton the terminus OF local trains Nos.

train No. 26 had hccn granted. This
concession will relieve the company
of the requirement to run these trains
through to the Byrd street Station.
thus doing away i'm some degree with
the congestion ut that point and with
the danger Of grade crossings on Bel
vidcrc Street.
Al tho request of 7. c. ComminS. Of
King William County, representing the
patrons Of the Virginia Steamship Com
pany, the commission postponed to De-
cember IL the hearing Of the appli
cation made by that company for an
increase in rates from Richmond to
landings on the Mattaponi River. Mr..
ComminS advanced the argument that
the patrons of the line had not had
sufficient notice OF the company'S eff
forts for Increased rates.
The commission to-day will hear the
application of the Norfolk and West
rates on gravel from MaSSapon3N to
Norfolk. and tomorrow il will con-
slider changes in schedule asked for
by the Richmond and Chesapeake Bay
hallway Company.
