Virginian Lease Action Deferred at Chamber Luncheon
At a Princeton Chamber of Commerce luncheon the Virginian railroad lease debate was postponed again by adjournment after Hartley Sanders urged forming a committee with other groups to oppose the Norfolk and Western plan. DeJarnette argued the lease would boost trade and rail facilities. A letter from H. Spiller outlined water system improvements and a doubled supply with fourteen extensions, while Sanders warned a reservoir is needed for upper city areas and rate increases hinge on doubling the water supply approved by the public service commission.
