<br />
<br />Gentlemen:-- - ~ - -
<br />
<br /> We-wish to ma~e application for relocating a belt-line side tr~ck which is serving
<br />our factory at Port Norfolk.
<br />
<br /> When our factory was rebuilt five yea~s ago we could n~ get a right of way from
<br />W. G. Maupi~; therefore,_we wer~ forced to build our factory on a curve which has caused us
<br />a great deal of '~nconvenien¢e. ~? have recently purchased the ro err f
<br />which enables us to chau~e our id ~?~w ~ -~ ....... ? P Y rom W. G. Mauplu
<br /> track it enables u~ to ~actiea~e~Jz~JT -~JJ-~ -~ ~.~ z~c~ory_~arger. By ~his change in side
<br /> ~ ~ ~m~ ~u~- capacity a~ ottr Fort Norfolk ~actory. We would,
<br />therefore, thank you to give us permit to relocate our track.on 0hatauqua Ave. At present
<br />there are three.tracks crossing 0hatauqua Ave. tn making this change there will still be
<br />three tracks crossi~ 0hatauqu~Ave., bul one of our tracks will be forty or fifty feet north
<br />of its present location. ~e are having the foundations laid for our extension of our mill
<br />building at present, and are also grading out on our property for this ex~usion.
<br />
<br /> ~We would certainlymappreciate your prompt actio~ as it is necessary for us to
<br />relocate this side track before we can go a~y l~rther with cur buildings~or to cha~ge our 8"
<br />~ter pipe lines which feed the automatic sprinkler in our factory. We are trying to get
<br />this work completed before cold wwather. We have most of the materials on hand te go ahead
<br />with the work.
