Boat line To Norfolk Be Maintained The Steamer Greensborough, som months ago put on the Cllssbetb. City-Norfolk run via the Albemarla and Chesapeake Canal, is for. sale and unless the steamer is bought ani the line operated by local Interests, Elizabeth City will again be reduced to complete dependence on the Nor folk Southern for freight service. The Greensborough has been ply ing between Elizabeth City and Nor folk for only a comparatively short time; but the vessel has been carry ing capacity loads on almost every trip and those having the most, inti mate knowledge of the business that lias been handled by the Virginia Carolina Navigation Company since the boat was put on say that the line can be made tp pay liberal dividends. The business Interests which have acquirea the Virginia-Carolina Navi gation Company, however, have de cided to sell all of their boats snd go out of i the transportation business entirely. The Greensborough will be ?old along with the reBt but Elisa beth City business Interests are gi" ,C:i the first chance to purchase, j. I Secretary Case of the Chamber! Of Commerce cnlled a conference ot ti iiuinb3f of business mon Thursday morning in the Chamber of Com merce offices in the Hlnton building and the matter was put before them. It was the sense of the meeting that the boat l.ne ought to be main ta'ned and that the boat be pur chased if practicable. It was votel to ask for an option on the boSt ex piring May 1st and also to request that the Hue continue operations un til that time. Mr. C. W. Stevens was chosen to solicit subscriptions ,th stock. a new company te operate the l ne nnd if the' option can. be se cured and the sale of the boat stayed unt,l iy lbt he will begin a' can vass for this stock at once. It 1., believed that there will be, little difficulty !n gett'nj stock to the amount of s'r.teen thousand dol lers Hiibscr.bed here and at points along :'ie n.n between here and Not. oil.. Hi r t mount will give the new col: par. y sufficient funds to pur chase the Oreensborough Outright and to have a fa'r margin ot capital upon which to begin operations. The Elizabeth City Shipyard has under construction another boat for the Virg'n'.a-Carollna transportation Company and if the bost line proves s success under locsl tnsnagetnent the boat now under construction her can be purchased also.
