HAS NO MATERIAL FOR
ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
National Cemetery Road Cannot BE
boiled Up Unless Uncle Sam
Says SO.

Travellers who use the National
Cemetery road leading out of the city
in the East End to some of the most
attractive parts of Henrico county,
are complaining of the delay in max
ing necessary repairs and improve
ments to that road They have writ
ten letters OF complaint to the admin
istrative board, and have appeared in
person before that body to enter pro-
test.
II was explained by the board yes
terday that the cause of the DELAY
was the fact that the government had
commandeered all material which had
been secured for the work. and that
until the government came to the
rescue the persons who use that
thoroughfare would have to simply
grin and bear it
The numerous government build
ings and manufacturing plants being
now constructed in that section of
the community have added to the i'm
portance of the road as a means of
reaching much of the territory now
being rapidly built UP by the govern
ment

tive board TO speed up the work, was
notified yesterday that the board could
not make a move until the govern
ment had come across with material
and he was asked to use his influence
in helping the matter along

roads. On the contrary, they support
and uphold it because they believe
that under the conditions suddenly
created by the entrance of our nation
into the war nothing else could be
done than just what the government
did in taking over the lines. More
over, we are convinced that thus far
the problem has been handled in a
remarkably wise and mastery man
ner- Nevertheless what we have is
not public ownership and we do not
troll with public ownership. And we
do not want any one to charge the
weaknesses and disadvantages of pub
lie control against public ownership.
Must Keep to Save Debts
Everything depends, therefore, upon
the outcome If the present process
thru which we are passing results
ultimately in public ownership of the
railroads, then the government will
meet all obligations and solve the
problem. But if, on the other hand,
after pouring 5000, 100000 and more
into the rehabilitation of the roads,
$500, 100000 more every year into in
creased wages to labor and s1,029,-
100000 every year to the holders of
stocks and bonds-and all of that in
addition to paying the costs of op-
Grating and maintaining the system
if after all of that the government
hands these utilities back to the pri-
vate owners to go on their old-time
methods of plunder and profteering,
then, indeed, will this period of fed
eral control" turn out to be the most
colossal injustice the government
could inf1ict upon a long suffering and
unhapDy DeOplR
And let no one deceive himself into
thinking that this may not happen.
1t is exactly what the railroad inter
ests are intending to put over if they
can. They have long been working
to that end. They are strongly in
trenched in Congress and out
Nothing but well organized, sus-
tanned and effective movement on the
part of the people thruout the nation
nsthing but a thoroly aroused and eff
fectively expressed public sentiment
can prevent it.
