there Is perfectly good understand

manager. city council and city attor-
ney in regard to municipal ownership.
AS the proposition now stands It is
planned:
Either to buy out the Virginia Rail-
way and Power company properties
lat fair price. to be established by
an expert. or to proceed at once to
the building of a municipal gas and
electric plant.
City Manager Ashburner made no
secret today OF the fact that he would
be more than willing to take up the
purchase of the Virginia Railway and
Power company's properties. provided
they could be obtained at n fair ad-
vance on the assessed value. with a
proper regard Of the value Of their
franchise rights.

MAY REDUCE IMPORTS

President Considers Army
Supply Transportation.

Washington, Feb. President Will
son took up personally the shipping
problem tonight at q conference with
Chairman Hurley of the shipping board
went into the great problem of procur-
Ing tonnage for the movement of
American troops and supplies overseas.
Every phase of the question was dis
eussed, including the progress of the
government building programs. Plans
for obtaining allied ships for transport
ing soldiers and negotiations with the
European neutrals for tonnage to re-
lease American vessels for transatlantic
service.
I The president was particularly inter-
ested in the proposal TO obtain addi-
tional ships by reducing imports one
half. A full realization Of the extent TO
which Americas troop movement to
France depends on tonnage has come
not only to this government, hut the al
lies as well. A big American army is
ready 70 60. but before il
is sent the war department wants to
be assured 1t can be supplied. Ships
are available to transport tho men; the
problem is keeping them furnished with
materials with which to fight.

will require. according to best estimates
available, from four TO seven million
tons of shipping in continuous service
across the 1900 miles OF water between
America and Europe.
