Old Monument Well Known As Landmark The old monument at Church and Sixth street, SE, which avenue Council has been asked to City move, is a granite shaft that once was used as an inducement for land buyers during a prospective boom period in Roanoke. NOW IT'S almost forgotten, or until Council was asked to was it to a more 1 prominent spot move in the city. But at one time it was a wellknown landmark in Roanoke. Raymond P.

Barnes, Roanoke who is writing a history lawyer of the Star City, gives this story behind erection of monument: In 1881, when James, Roanoke, Schick made the first map 60-acre tract was laid out and a named Woodland Park. The area was offered to the park, if the city would city as a it in. Although the city fence did fence it, the tract was never used as a park for years. About 1891 or 1892, S. W.

Jamihis brother-in-law, P. L. son and and several associates Terry, the 60 acres and laid it off bought in subdivisions. In the prospectus, a place was marked on the maps for the monument. This monument was one of the big inducements to prospective customers, who came here by the trainloads amid much -ho and bought lots.

Lots were sold like the proverbial hot cakes, the monument was erected--and the crash came. Many folks who invested in Woodland Park lost their money. Later, however, when Roanoke recovered somewhat from the crash, land became desirable. The city engineer, however, would not issue building permits for residences in the Woodland development, since he contended the land was designated as a park. THIS QUESTION was finally settled in court and houses were soon built in the area.

The request that Council move the monument to Roanoke's past has been referred to the City Planning Commission. One site previously men for the monument is plaza between the Federal Building and the School Administration Building.

Robertson also apparently carried Montgomery County, where Poff was born. There the Roanoke County legislator had a 50 majority vote over Glass-256 to 206 with two small precincts not reporting. Robertson also ran ahead of Glass in Clifton Forge. Covington. Alleghany County, Craig County and Floyd County.

In Covington, where there is normally a heavy labor vote, Robertson led Glass 233 to 71 and in Floyd County, where there is practically, no Glass union 274 vote, RobThe turnout of less than 12,000 votes surprised most politicians who had anticipated a small vote. But they did not expect it that small. Nearly 39,000 votes were cast in the 1952 congressional primary in which ex-Rep. Clarence G. Burton of Lynchburg easily won renomination over Moss A.

Plunkett, Roanoke, only to lose to Poff in the general election that November. It was a second try yesterday for Robertson in a congressional primary. Although never beaten in a General Assembly race in his own county, Robertson ran third in 1948 in a three-way primary which was captured by Burton. ROBERTSON TOLD newsmen after Glass conceded that he plans to start campaigning after a few days' rest. Congressman Poff has said he will not start until Congress adjourns, which, it appears, will be sometime in August.

The primary winner said the continuous radio programs he put on in Lynchburg and Roanoke last week were an important factor in yesterday's victory at the polls. "It enabled me to reach voters off the beaten path, voters who you do not normally see in campaign," Robertson said of his 10- hour radio program in Lynchburg and his 14-hour program in Roanoke. Dr. Poindexter said he was "not the least disappointed or surprised" at the outcome of the primary, since he lacked the necessary funds to carry on a really vigorous campaign. From the size of the vote, he said, it could be concluded that the "hard core of voters" who have always favored Del.

Robertson "came out and voted." THE LOYALTY of these supporters of Del. Robertson is to be commended, he said. Dr. Poindexter said Del. Robertson will have his complete support in the general election.

He thanked the voters who gave their support to and said: "It's not altogether numbers in my book that adds up to success."
