There are also three railroad

have a passenger station on Seventh
street southwest, and the river land
ing boats have two wharves, while
the Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company has large investment
on the river front in their passenger
and freight station.
Population About 10000.
The population Of the southwest
section is between $4,000 and 10000.
of which a. 900 are coiored. ACCORDING
to the police census.
This population furnishes an in
centive for the big banks OF the city
to establish branch institutions In
the southwest, and two have already
located there, and one has deposits on
nearly 100000. Other big banks
are endeayoring to find suitable loca'

The property values compare very
favorably with that OF other sections
of the city. 1t is claimed. and while
the property has not jumped as high
as have some sections. II has had
steady. healthy rise.
Proud OF War Record.
The southwest section is particu-
larly proud of the record 1t made
during the world war. In addition
to sending a great many Of it's boys
to the front. the women OF that
section Of the city made more ma
terirl fer the Red Cross than any
other chapter IN the city.
There We're 130 women In tho chap
ter, and most Of the work was done
at the homes OF Mrs. Willard +.
Thompson. Mrs. Thomas, p. Brown,
and Mrs. George Fraser. Mrs.
Thompson was major of the chapter.
In all the Liberty loan drives and
war stamp campaigns, the south
west section oversubscribed its quota
and In the Victory loan the section
went 46 per cent over its quota.
Martin Wiegand, the sage OF the
southwest" although born IN Ger
many, was one of the most energetic
workers In all the loans. and when
the United States first went into the
war and materials were needed by
the army. Mr.. Wiegand jumped
into the front and did efficient work.
A high officer in the medical corps
of the army. in speaking of Mr..
Wiegand. said that when the United
States was badly In need OF hospital
and ambulance boxes. and Congress
had not given the authority to spend
money for them, Mr.. Wiegand was
one Of the few lumber men in the
country who began work on them.
and had them delivered before the
