COMM TIERS FAVOR
HI;ItMITAhE SITE:
The petition, which carried large
number Of signatures, WAS as follows:
we. the undersigned patrons of the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and 70
tomac Railroad Company, having been
advised that the management Of tho
company are considering tho abandon
mcnt of Elba and Byrd Street Stations.
aud the establishment Of a station on
the Belt Line AT the corner Of Broad
street and Roscncath Road. which. ir
built. VIII he tho only passenger sta
ton of the company in the city Of
Richmond. respectfully request that
the new station hc located on Broad
street no farther west than the Her
mitarc Golf club site.
w" give tho following reasons for
our request:
Il. The location on tho Belt Line
VIII probably compel the majority of
tho commuters and members of their
families living AT Ashland and inter-
mediate points t. use tho electric line,
whose station is at Broad and Laurel
Streets
-. The street car service on Broad
street as far west as Robinson street
Is convenient To all points in the city.
whereas the service at the Belt Line
would he every iEconvcnicnt for MANY
years, on account Of the transfer that
would lie required at Robinson street
and the additional time required be-
tween the station and tho business see
ton of the city.
y. The present service and rates
and privileges granted by the company
arc liberal. and tend TO build IN the
territory along tho line. The cstab-
lishmcnt OF tho new station on tho
Felt Line wonld cause so much add
tional expense and loss Of time to it's
patrons As 10 rctard. If. in fact I,

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.:
DIUECTORS MEET 'rO-nA,

The decision OF the two roads led
President Coleman Wortham Of the
Chamber Of Commerce. to issue \ call
for meeting OF tho board of dircc-
tors Of that body at 1880 o'clock this
morning to take appropriate action
Members OF the board were UNIV illinc
TO express themselves in advance OF
tho meeting. Among individual mem
bcrs of the chamber there was much
diversity OF opinion. While prominent
members were disposed to give their
approval To tho new turn of affairs
others equally as prominent persisted
in their opposition To a station at tho
hermitage Club chiefly on tho ground
that i, would necessarily have to be
of the back-in type
The latest dccis.ou OF the two roads
differs sharply from tho resolutions
they have adopted in tho past in the
fact that they purpose To proceed.
