Supreme Court Tha long drawn-out fight of tha etty of Bristol and the Norfolk and Western Railway Company In rogard to construction of an overhead bridge will bo reviewed by the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia A writ of error was granted yesterday front an order of thn Corporation Court of the city of Bristol entered October Z3 1013 directing the Issuance of a peremptory mandamus sgainst tho railroad company compelling It to repair eertaln steps and to maintain a flagman at a certain point on tho line where It la claimed Edmond Htreet and the tracks of tha railway Intersect In its petition for an appeal the railroad exhibits maps of the city of Bristol do aupport Its contention that this street was nevsr projected across the tracks The road At this' point Is operated In a rut tho bank where Edmond Street ends being on one aid three or four feet and on tbe other eight or ten feet high The real purpose according to the contention of tho railroad of an ordinance adopted by tho City Council of Bristol on May 11 nil is "not to much to establish a permanent pathway across tho tracks of tho railway company at Edmond Street aa tomake the conditions of operation at that point so expensive to the railway company that In order to relieve lteelf of such expense It will construct an overhead bridge under different terms and conditions than those provided by law" The petition states that this has been tbe subject of a long its tiding controversy and that the company has declined to consider the construction of such a bridged both because it would bo impracticable on account pf tho grades and unnecessary because of tho existence of a bridge at Mary Htreet ISO yards east of Edmond Street in tho cost of the construction of which the railroad participated The writ

sent out only a few days ago already more than 000 firms and Individuals have replied The opinions range from tax reform to the covering of Khockoe Creek from the widening of Fourteenth Htreet to the raising of railway ratea Not a few of the memhura urge a reform In the eynlem of city government and many are clamoring for a nubile library Tha anywerx will be tabulated ae they are received anil the result announced at the annual meeting of the chamber on January 29 The object of the correspondence Is to determine the views of the rank and file of tha chamber In order that the energies of the organisation may bo concentrated on the popular movements The outcome will settio the pulley of the chamber in 1914 This scheme will serve to have the entire membership rather than the board of directors volco Its opinion on public questlona Msyor Alaslle Replies Among the most Interesting ef the replies rcestveil Is that of Mayor Alns-11 As the Mayor sees the situation to-day thk city most needs tha following reforms: the covering of Bhockoe Creek the renovation of the Free Bridge the rehabilitation of tho water and gas distribution system a publlo library and a municipal clubhouse In Byrd Park It Is interesting to note that the Mayor has touched the popular chords as shown In the SOU unsworn already received The tax problem comes In for general remark by the members many asking for revision and reform of tho Hiate tax system while others plead for the removal of tho tax on bank deposits One firm urges tlio raising of railway rates an the most Important need of tho hour

Fourteenth Street Among tho replies is an entirely new solution of the Fourteenth 8 treat problem Beveridge? of the firm of Harvey Blair Co advances a scheme which he says will cost the city very little and will relieve tho expected congestion of foot and vehicle traffic He proposes the removal of the present sidewalks on both sides of Fourteenth Htreet and the building of one walk down the centre of the street As this plan would run the street cars off of Fourteenth be proposes that they be routed down Fifteenth Street Not a few of the correspondents emphasise the need of better housing facilities for factory labor Tbe canvass so far shows that the chamber Is solidly behind the proposal to build cheap and sanitary homes for men In moderate circumstances With aome-thlnk Uge unanimity ths writers cry for street paving and dosens ask for a campaign for better street and alley lighting 80 pronounced has been the success of the referendum plan that it seems probable that a series of
