ing of the Board Yesterday at
Which n Plan for Iron ReceptacIes
Was Approved.

The employees of the new Board OF
Public Works were paid for their SER
vices yesterday. thursday was the reg
ular pay day for the Board, but Clerk
O'Brien declined to honor any warrants
from Clerk Paul. of the Board Mr..
CfBrien's position is generally under
stood by this time, and has been in
expressed in a series of letters to Clerk
Paul, in reply to communications from
the Board.
The trouble is the outgrowtn Of the
political muddle at the City Hall,
which has placed the clerk in rather
embarrassing position. As consistent
Republican, Mr.. O'Brien would natur-
ally favor the old Board OF Public
Works, but independent OF any politi-
cal feeling, he considered it necessary
to consult his attorney in order to
guard against making his bondsmen
actionaDie. He has taken the position
that he cannot recognize the new
Board and Clerk until their bonds are
approved by both branches of Council.

OF the middle will not be made until

company claim that the line will be
built, and that they will build a bridge
over the back river connecting with the
Island and enter Wheeling by way of the
suspension bridge. The promoters also
say that they have no connection in any
way with the Wheeling Traction Co.,
and that they will build their line.
From reasonable standpoint the citi-
zens of Martins Ferry fully realize that
new road to Wheeling will be far
from exchanging the value of real es-
tate in the city, and a detriment to
every business house. What Martin s
Ferry needs is roads from the differ
ent points outside of the city to ter
inmate here. While the last action of
Council was so hasty and gave away
the valuable franchise without investi-
CATION, it is thought if they would show
such disposition to bring roads into
the city from contiguous territory, their
action would be more commendahle, as
two lines are waiting at the gates of
the city, with their source at Steuben-
vile and the terminus here. Let Coun-
Gil legislate for the building up of their
city, and not to take away what ii has
gained from natural resources.

Greater Martins Ferry.

In all the history of this city the
present seems to be its greatest era of
advancement. While in the past it has
produced the largest amount OF nails
OF any factory in the world. and has
seen that industry go by the wayside
on account of the small demand; it has
also seen its manufacturing plants
idle: sor1e bave burned to The ground,
but the city all the time has been In the
position that which nature gave
it, the ideal city for manufacture
ing. on account of its shipping facilities
and excellent sites for large plants
While it has seen its adversely the time
has now come when all is bright for
it to become the greatest manufacture
ing city between Pittsburg and CinciR-
natl, as it now has seventeen plants
From reliable source it is learned
that new industry will soon be es-
taibiished here; that it win employ
several hundred workmen; and be Of
great benefit TO the city This means
an increase in the value of real estate
and larger development of the city.
The people Of Martins Ferry should be
mere fully awake and take more pride
in their city.

OH Notes.

A. Bruner & Co, who hold the lease
on the Bruner farm in the Rogerson
field, will abandon the lease and pull
the casing from the wells as soon as
the work can be done, At one time
this lease produced considerable Gil. but
the production has gone down until the
lease is no longer profitable.
The Higgins well in The Narrows has
been cleaned out and is said to be good
for Is or 20 barrels AS soon as a tank
is erected the well will be pumped. All
the land in the vicinity OF the lease
has been taken up by the South Penn
Oil Company and the Benedums, and
the territory is sure to BIZ thoroughly
tested.
The Frohnople well, located near st.
Joseph, in Meade district, came in a

people to be good for from 40 to 100

The Committee Arranging for n
Grand Celebration of the Day.
One hundred years ago the citizens in
every town, village and hamlet, the few
cities all over the thirteen original
States that made up the United States
of America, were preparing to celebrate
the quarter century birthday of the
nation and the first glorious Fourth in
the new century which promised so
much to the struggling lutte land of
liberty, will be such Fourth of July as
1t was. Cannon doomed from every
hill top. Public meetings were held. at
which the sacred declaration OF the free
dom of the people was read and enjoy
Gu. was the greatest day in the his
tory of the States up to that time.
1t is eminently proper, therefore. that
the coming Fourth should be celebrat-
ed IN manner in keeping with the one
hundred years ago-except of course
on more elaborate scale That Wheel
Ing is to have such a celebration is an
assured fact. The committee appoint-
ed by Mayor Sweeney has already met
and laiu plains for a day of general
amusement and merry making.
1t was at first thought that owing to
the closeness of the Carnival that one
celebration would interfere with the
other, but such will not be the case
The committee has adopted plan,
which II successful, will obviate the ne
cessity Of calling on merchants and CID
gems for contributions to help the ceIe-
ef1taon along, so instead OF one eyexk
