The great increase in the cost OF
building material is plainly demon
strated by the experience of the trus-
tees of the Grant county asylum, who
in 1918 were authorized to construct
a. modern barn on the county farm
for which the county board appropria
ted $4,000. The appropriation did
little further than complete the base
ment of the structure planned and
last year the board increased the
amount at the disposal of. the trus-
tees to $4,000. The trustees adver-
tised for bids on building and the low
est proposal. received was $22,755. And
now the. matter goes over to the fall
of 1920 when the county board will
be asked to- make disposition of the
matter.

QUESTION OF CAaFARE
N NORFOLK CASE

Declaring that since it was impos-
sible to take care Of the interests
of all parties concerned, the case
would be decided on the basis Of the
greatest good to the greatest number,
the state corporation commission yes
terday entered an order denying the
petition OF the city of Norfolk, which
asked for a change in the zone point
on the Norfolk and Atlantic Terminal
Division, from Lochaven, station in
Norfolk county, to F'orty-ninth street,
at the Norfolk city limits. While
the defendant in the case was the
Virginia Railway and Power Company
that company took no part in the
proceedings. in which II declared il
had no Interest. being merely by
stander.
The opinion, written by Commits
sioner Forward states that the change
is desired by men living at Lamberts
Point. in theycity, who work at the
Naval Base, and who now pay two
street car fares and who if the petit
ton were granted could reach their
work by paying one fare. 1t was OPP
posed by residents OF the suburbs.
who If the change were made would
have to pay two fares instead of one
to reach their work in the city.
1t is stated in the opinion that the
commissions engineer has made sew
eral Inspections counting personally
the number of passengers affected on
urbs were mainly built in good faith
not more than $50 men would be
saved the additional fare by making
the change, while more than 1000
would have their carfare doubled II
the petition were granted, in addition
to members of the Country Club, who
would also have to pay two fares.
The Commission" the opinion
states, has further taken into con-
sideration the fact that these sub
urbs were mainly built in godd faith
by people who established their homes
there with the assurance of single
carfare to the business and manufac-
turing establishments, the shops, the
churches, the schools and the theatcrs
