WANT E.& Y. TRACKS IN
LIMITS OF H0PEWtLL
Change In Charter Provision of Wizard
City VIII Cause Slight Delay In
Final Passage of Measure.

There Is a slight hitch In the Hope
well charter bill due to the fact that
a movement is on foot to include the
property of the Norfolk and Western,
including their trackage and sidings
in the corporate limits. This may
have the effect of delaying the passage
of the bill until Monday or Tuesday
as 1t is understood that the original
bills OF Incorporation have been re-
ported out of the Senate committee,
already having passed the House.
Representative David A. Harrison
in charge of the Hopewell bills is 60
ing to stand by an amendment to the
effect that that the properties of the
Norfolk and Western in the prescribed
amendment be included. il it comes
up from the Senate.
The Senate Committee on Counties.
Cities and Towns agreed yesterday
afternoon to report the bills favora bly,.
As they now stand there is no doubt
about their passing the General AS
sembly In fact the charter bills have
already been favorably acted on by
the House and the Senate.
The proposed amendment If adopted
by the Senate will be submitted to the
House for a vote. II It, develops that
there 10 any pronounced opposition
such as to delaying the measures
providing for an adequate charter for
Hopewell, the amendment will be
withdrawn and the original bills as re-
ported from the committee will be al
lowed to taxa their regular course.
On account OF the adoption of the
bill providing for a statewide prohibit
ton law and the time required for
its discussion there has been some de-
lay In putting through the Hopewell
measures
From what could be learned this
afternoon II lie understood that there
will be no serious objection on the
part OF the Norfolk and Western to be
incorporated In the city of HopeweIl.
It In argued that Hopeweil has been
instrumental in making a nonpaying
branch line OF the railway. one of the
best revenue producers Of the whole
system, and for this reason. II Is be-
lieved, that the railway company with
be glad to cooperate with HopewelI in
every way with the upbuilding OF the
Wixard City.
