COMPANY IS VERY SLOW IN WORK State Officials Tell Traction Company That They Will Have to Strengthen Several of Their Bridges and Cul? verts Immediately. (Special to the Daily Press). RICHMOND, VA., April 20.?Tho evidence in the case of the Norfolk & Portsmouth Traction Company be? fore the Corporation Commission was concluded lato this afternoon, the commission taking the case under ad? visement. Judge Beverly T. Crump, chairman of the Commission, stated tonight that it was impossible to state when a decision- will ho readied in the matter, but probably within tho next few days, as it is the inten? tion of the Commission, presumably, to have some action taken regarding the trestles about Norfolk and Ports? mouth over which the railway passes put In a safe condition before, or as soon as possible after the opening of tile Jamestown Exposition. The case grew out of a report of an engineer who viewed the bridges in question at the instigation of the Commission some time ago and who regarded them unsafe. The company was at that time instructed to make the necessary repairs to insure the safety of the patrons of the line. The failure of tho company to comply with this request in whole, caused it to be summoned before the Commis? sion to say why. It. was in evidence that the company has done and is doing all possible to relieve the situ? ation on tho line. Caustic. . ?
