No FREE TRAFFIC
YET OVER V|AOUCT
Commissioner Hirschberg Would Re-
ytve Action On Viaduct Over
Broad Street.

The perennial request of the Ad-
ministrative Board that the Virginia
Railway and Power Company grant
free traffic for vehicles across the
Marshall Street viaduct, received It's
perenn NAL reply from President Wheel
wright again yesterday.
There appears to be nothing doing
in this. and then another perennial
resolution was introduced by Commits
sioner Hirschberg asking City Coun-
Gil to provide $4,000 for the con-
structton OF a steel and concrete bridge
over Shockoe Valley, from Eleventh
and Broad Streets to Twenty-third and
Broad.
This proposed bridge. 1t Is suggest
ed. will be sixty-ive feet wide. and
will be for pedestrians. vehicles and
municipal owned street cars.
Such movements have been going
on from time to time for many years.
Before the erection OF the Marshall
Street viaduct, the subject was moot
ed, and at various periods since that
time, intermittant effort has been
made to induce Council to take the
step.
Even less than g. year ago the pro-
ject was discussed and plans drawn
for a bridge across the valley. from
Grace Street at Taylors Hill, to a
point adjacent to Memorial Hospital
This proposition lies buried in the
archives OF the Street and Finance
Committees. and may be revived when
the City Council Is reorganized In
September.
The Virginia Railway and Power
Company officials object to free We
hicular use of the viaduct on the
grounds that II would open up free
traffic for jitneys from Church Hill to
nd that ~
cumstances the street cars themselves
ght as well be thrown open for free
traffic over the viaduct.
Commissioner Hirschherg's resolu-
ton will be forwarded to the City
Council in September by Mayor
Ainslie. through whose Office 1t must
go.

In Occupation.

J. Fl. Binford, of the State Departs
from Madison County. where he Wis
tied two very interesting mountain
schools established by the State In its
fight against illiteracy. To reach one
of these schools, held in a tent in
Nicholson Hollow. the country school
inspector had to walk three miles up
a mountain trail too rough for travel
IN a buggy. To show how thoroughly
the State is being covered by the pub
lie school system. at the point men-
toned above Mr.. Binford received q
message from the teacher of a SINH
lar school I'VE miles distant, on the
Page slope of the Blue Ridge.
Nicholson Hollow had a regular
winter school" about ten years ago,
but the teacher quit teaching for $40
month, SO the reports go, to engage
in the more lucrative business of ped
ding wildcat whiskey." For years
the community had no school and the
hollow abounded in illteracy. At the
present time an experienced teacher,
State normal graduate. walks three
miles each day over the mountain
trail to teach thirty-fve mountain
children how to read and write, while
a young ministerial student teaches
the adults on work days and holds
Sunday school and breaches on SUM-
days.
Twenty OF these schools are being
maintained by the State this summer
in eleven mountain counties, and the
reports show that a thousand nouns
tain children and several hundred
adults are receiving instruction.

ASKS MORE JUST RATE
TO SOUTHERN POINTS
State Corporation Commission Asks
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion TO Take Action.
HURTFUL TO VIRGINIA
Complaining Cities Show That New
Tariff Favors Baltimore and East
ern Ports Discriminating Against
Our Cities.

The State Corporation Commission
yesterday issued request directed to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to rectify the alleged injustice and
discrimination of the rates charged by
the companies participating in the
Virginia Lines Tariff Bureau, effective
January ]. 1915. on classes and COM
modities from Virginia cities to local
and junction points in the South and
Southwest. The order was issued as
the result of complaint filed with
the Corporation Commission by the
Chambers of Commerce of Richmond,
Norfolk, Petersburg. Roanoke, Dam
Vile and Newport News
1t is claimed by the complaining
cities that the rates put into effect by
the tariff work to the favor of Balti-
moro and other Eastern port cities
against Virginia points, which has re-
suited in unjust discrimination. Not
only do the rates work unjustly
against the cities petitioning the Cor
poration Commission. but practically
every other Virginia city Is affected
by the tariff
In their complaint to the Corpora
ton Commission the six Virginia cities
declared that the rates provided by
the tariff had resulted in unjust dis
elimination in carrying freight, which
originated not only in those cites, but
in every other shipping point in Viz
gtnia and those beyond the boundaries
Of the State, and that the rates were
unjust and unreasonable, since they
worked in favor of Baltimore and
other Eastern port cities.
The order signed by Judge J. r.
wingfield, as commissioner. calls upon
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to correct the discriminating rates.
and appoints Attorney General John
Garland Pollard to appear before that
body in the interest of the petition
of the Virginia cities.
