full. For purposes of light, fuel and
water, Point Comfort is bountifully
provided. Theae are two gas mains
In this part OF the city conducting gas
from the noted Mines gas well which
is only one mile 10 the west. These
gas mains run side by side conducting
gas at high pressure for manufactur-
ing purposes and the other having low
pressure for the purpose Of light and
fuel. There is also large water main
leading from the water works of the
city, which are situated 300 feet above
the city, thus affordine a pressure,
which. in case of fire, dispenses with
the necessity for the useoftire engines.
Streets are lighted by electricity fur
pished by the city. The recently char
tered electric street railway extends
the full length of Point Comfort and
passes Immediately in front of the few
lots vet unsold. On the opposite side
OF the West Fork river, which is cross
ed by free bridge, not more than 200
Yards distant, are situated the West
Virginia Central Agricultural EXPOSE
tion grounds, which affords means OF
innocent recreation during the greater
part of the year.
The educatiodal advantages OF Point
Comfort have not been overlooked. 1t
already has magnificentpublic school
building in which is taught a nine
months term of school each year.
Broaddus College is located only four
squares to the east, thss affording an
opportunity for higher education. AS
a residential section of the city 1t is
unequaled, and the great facilities az
forded by the inexhaustible supply OF
water from the West Fork River,
which gracefully skirts Its Western
border, makes it most AVAILABLE site
for manufacturing purposes, as is evil
denced by the factories which are al
ready established at Point Comfort.
At the junction of Elk Creek and the
West Fork River is located the Clarks-
burg Wooden Mills, and on the western
border of the unsold lots on the banks
OF the West Fork River is the Point
FIGURING Mill, probably the largest OF
its kind In the State.
Owing to the great increase of wealth
and the vast influx OF population into
this section Of the State, and the geo.
graphical location SO favorable and ac-
cessible, there is. every reason to be-
lieye that the effort now being made
to move the State Capitol from
Charleston to Clarksburg will be sue
cessful.
