JUSTICE GIVEN.
To the Editor of The Times? In'your
Issue of the Gth inst,in .-?pcakln? of build?
ing interests of the city, you refer1 to the
foundation of Helronlmus & Brugh's
building on cornei of Campoell ??d
Henry streets ns being a good solid piece
of masonry built by Mr. Harris, ttho
stone mason ot Vinton. In justice to
ourselves ^will say thnt the foundation
was not built by Mr. Harris Individually,
but by Harris, Coffman & Abbett.
Please make this correction, so that all
may have equal justice who were oon
cerned in the matter. Very respectfully,
COFFMAN & ;ABBETT.
FIX THE BRIDGE.
There^is a bridge between the river and
Norwich on the Boulevard road which
has been for some months pa9t In a very
dangerous condition. The expenditure
of only -\ small sum of money would
put this bridge in a splendid condition
and it should be done at once. Within a
few days Roanoke may have nearly 2,000
visitors and suppose they should propose
a drive to Norwich, how would they get
therp? What kind of an Impression of
Roanoke would a sight at that bridge
leave?
