At a meeting of the citizens OF
Forest Hill and vicinity. held yester-
day afternoon at o'clock in the Of
flee of Mayor Anslie, protest was
made against an order OF the health
department, to the closing of the
springs at Forest Fill park, which is
now owned by the Virginia Railway
and Power company. For many
years these springs have been largely
patronized by the people, in that
vicinity and in many instances it is a
fact known that persons have moved
to that. locality. for the benefit de-
rived from useing the waters from
these famous springs. However with
the constantly increasing population,
in the locality, the health authori-
ties believe they should be closed.
The neighborhood is without sewers
and permits have been given to many
near by residences for cess pools.
The citizens claim they were promised
sewers, five years after an annexa-
ton of Manchester.
