The freeing of the Prince bridge across New River is unlikely before the February term of circuit court begins February 18 due to condemnation actions against the Chelyan bridge. Ernest K. James, special assistant to the attorney general, said hearings may wait until the Chelyan suit ends. A five member commission, chaired by John R. Hornbrook, will appraise the Prince structure after receiving instructions from the attorneys Scherer, Bowers and File. The panel plans to visit the span and hear the owners' evidence first, with a possible special court session if needed to speed action before the new Prince railroad station opens.
