THE CONTRACT LET.
Street paving will be done by
July first.

Sweeney and Houston oi pittsburg get
the contract-They will begin work
as early as practicable and will finish
before July first-C0st as low as
Berry's job-Responsible people are
at the helm nOW-The curbing con-
tract will be given in few days
John Samsel re. elected engineer.
The council met last night and
awarded the contract for the street
paving to be done here this summer.
That part contracted for must be
done by the first Of July and if there
is any money LETT after this is com
pleted the amount will be put into
more pavements. That there will be
some left is certain but just how
much is the uncertain quantity.
Pleasants, Spruce and Front in
the order named are to be taken up
and before very long they will be
added to those already covered with
brick. The cost will not be greater
than that OF the pavement already
down placed there BY Berry. This
was very cheap and the town will
have nothing to growl at on the
score of expense
Sweeney and Houston, of Pitts
burg, are the people who will 90 the
paving. They have the contract for
ten thousand square yards When
asked If they could finish it by the
first Of July the answer was, If we
can't we will have to starve"
The first work will be done as
soon as the weather opens up. The
contract for curbing will be let in a
few days when Mr.. R. P. Houston,
of the firm will return to Morgan
town for that purpose. The firm
will put in the curling bought from
Berry and charge just what it takes
to dress and set it thus making it
cost the town nothing for their over
sight of the matter.
The new firm comes we'll recon-
mended and will no doubt prove to
be all right. They have done lots
of work and everywhere they have
been they are highly spoken of.
The price to be paid them is two
cents yard less than the bid they
made last year when they were the
next lowest bidders to Berry. The
cost will be reduced by the fall in
the price of brick which will cost
one twenty-five less on the thousand
than last year SO that the cost will
not be any more than that paid Ber-
ry and it may be less.

chinery value in dispute OF
this 1t is alleged can be used again
School authorities say that they cam
not use it Mt all and that all the In
surance is wanted as it is a total
loss to them.
The matter of insurance on the
building, Mechanical Hall. which was
recently destroyed at the University
by fire has been adjusted on the basis
OF giving the University all the money
carried on the building. This is eight
thousand dollars and the adjusters
who were here stated that there was
no question but that the building was
totally ruined. Tn the machinery
however they would not venture
They said that they were not experts
in that realm and asked to be allowed
to have board pass on it.
This was satisfactory TO the Uni
versity people and the hoard has been
fixed upon. 1t is hoped to have them
here on Wednesday and the whole
matter may soon be fixed up. There
will be two members on this boar
and they will pass on the value of the
machinery destroyed and the amount
OF insurance to be paid.
They can hardly reach any other
confusion than to pay over all the
money as there can be no doubt that
the value of the machinery was far in
advance of the insurance carried and
the further fact that it has all been
ruined is not necessary to argue.
Plans for the new building are going
steadily on and by the time the board
of regents gets here on the fifteenth
of next month things will be in shape
for them to take steps toward the inn
mediate erection of new building to
take the place of the old one.
The two members selected are ex-
pected to reach Morgantown on the
noon train on Wednesday. They will
as soon as they get here decide as to
whether or not they want an umpire
to decide any and all disputes that
may arise between them. In case
they want one he will at once be chos-
en-. If not they will get down to the
work themselves Immediately and
finish it as soon as they can.
The insurance people think that
some of the machinery can be used
over again but since the value of the
instruction to be given in the depart
ment depends on the condition of the
machinery in large measure only the
very best is of any use to them and
this must be i'll first class condi-
ton. They can't use junk.
However the outcome may be that
all concerned will be satisfied and
that there will be no serious clash be-
tween the two parties to the settle
ment.

GOUGE In INSURANCE.
Some State Buildings are Plas-
tered with Policies.

!
Not One Twentieth OF the Premiums
have come back in Payments Some
Buildings are Insured for far more
than they Cost Rings Favor Insur-
anee Agents Investigation now be-
ing Made-Sepator Fast Proposes a
Remedy.
1t is proposed that the state put an
end to practice that has been IA
vorite one with insurance agents and
the various rings at the different
points in the state where there are
state buildings. This is that Of in
surfing the buildings for far more than
their value. 1t has cost the state inn
mensc sums of money and has not re-
suited in any good except to the ras-
Gals who have engineered the deals.
AS an instance Of this the fact that
the state house has more than two
hundred Thousand dollars insurance
on IL when the whole thing did not
cost any more than when It was built
at first. Should it burn down there
is no one who thinks that the state
would get the money by long odds.
However it has been paying the pre-
miums all right and the companies
will continue to take them until the
end OF the chapter.
So serious has this become that the
board Of public works is now in session
at Charleston to take up the matter
and to see what can be done to reduce
the insurance. They will take up the
capital especially for there is the great
est swiudle.
Other places in the state are in the
same fix. The condition is one that
cries for remedy. The state has
been mulced of thousands of dollars
and has not received one twentieth of
the money invested. With all this
going OF every where there is not one
word said against the University. No
one claims that there has any thing OF
the kind been done here. 1t is only
where there is ring as there Is at
Charleston and lot of hungry insur-
ance agents to be taken care of that
this Is done.
The remedy proposed to fix this was
proposed by Senator Fast at the last
session of the legislature He thinks
that he has plan that will make it
all right and that will be cheaper to
the state in the long run.
1t is to stop all insurance premiums
on every building owned by the state.
Have fund set aside for the payment
of fire losses. Then in case build
ing is destroyed by fire replace it from
this fund. He thinks that all the ex-
pense that has been incurred by Excess
sive insurance will then be avoided.
The past shows that 1t is eminently
safe and that it will be vastly cheaper.
Some oppose it as there is no GER
tainty as to what fire will do and how
soon an immense loss may be incurred.
However If some thing Is not done to
stop the robbery Of the state that has
been going on this or some similar
plan will be adopted by the legislature
