With the old Aetna glass plant re-
vlved and giving employment to three
or four hundred hands, the Bellaire bot
tie works increased to employ that
many more by reason of the improve
ments, Bellaire is indeed at the top
notch in the way of industries. The
three enamelIng plants here and the
larger and improved steel works now
place industries employing skilled and
unskllled labor here at higher mark
than ever before. There are no vacant
houses now, and the few that are build
ing are all engaged in advance, so that
the building trade is sure to be stimu-
lated when the demand for additional
labor in the new factories about TO start
bring in new people. They must be pro-
vided with some place to live.

cut down the plans OF the proposed new
city buildings to bring them within the
$4,000 limit, there is n growing feeling
that the plans as submitted and adopted
could probably be complied with when
there is settling down in the prices
OF building materials and since this Is

which there is no pressing necessity,
the policy of awaiting developments
without further action may be adopted.

OF which will probably be adjusted to-
morrow. Mr.. McGOugh has filled his
place to the satisfaction Of all the peo-
pie concerned, and had practically no
opposition for erappointment.

Not many Belmont county chaps have
