Crom that point the road is to be ex?
tended for trunk line connection, ??ither

President T. M. Carrlngton. of th*i
Cnamber of Commerce; President T. P.
bryan. of the Bunineea Men's Club, and'
Gene-al Freight Agent E. P. Hotchkisa
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway,
after an inspection of the prospectus,
yesterday declared '.i to be their opin?
ion that from Richmond's standpoint,
Gordons^ille ?as the more desirable
terminal for the new rcaad. Thus routed.
Lai > thought, t-afflr over the proponed
line would tend to be deflected to?
wards Richmond, because of the short?
er i!.-,ixl and a corresponding lower
freight rate that would be possible.
I hanbser Reedy to Help.
"In the absence of more definite data
to work upon." said Mr. Carrlngton. "It
would appear that Gordonsvllle is the
more oeeirable terminus from a Rich?
mond standpoint and the chamber will
l>e glad, as aoon as the matter Is pre
e nted to it In more detail, to suppovt
It as the point of Junction I w'!l
brine the matter to the attention of
th. Inland Trades Committee, which
passes upon this class of business for
the chamber."
"Gordonsvllle. without a doubt, seems
SB he the logical terminus, as far as
Richmond s advantage Is concerned."
said President T P. Bryan of the Bual
??>> Men's Club, after an inspection
of the plans. "F-om that point traffic
naturally moves to this city, while from
Orange most of It would be deflected
to Washington and Baltimore, where
the trad* of that section Is now going.
The Pi.s'.nees Men's Club stands ready
to co-operate with the other commer?
cial bod.es of the city in securing the
routing of the road through Gordons
vine.
"The fact that Gordonsv'lle Is nine
miles nearer Richmond than Orange,
and in a direct line south, would un?
doubtedly deflect traffic this way. ' said
F.. p. H-tchktes gene-al freight agent
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company. |
On the* other hand. If the road goes
to Orange, the distance to Richmond
