PADENS CITY
Continued from Est Page

other predictions that the town Will
be built and that imme, lately, and
that when built 1t will be mag
nifcent suburb of this city and a
great advantage to our business
people of all classes.
The representative of the Review
today saw a glimpse of the plan of
lots. 1t was latge blue print, sew
eral feet in proportions, calling tol
a city containing some fourteen
hundred lots. In addition to this
number there Is still large amount
of vacant land laying along the
river, which If not used for manu-
featuring establishments will be
come the scene Of homes tor the
people. All this land was bought
and paid for by the Paden's Valley
company. This afternoon, Mr..
Miller and Mr.. Watkins went to the
valley to arrange for the transfer
ring of the lines from the blue map
TO the ground. This will take but
little while when the lots will be
on the market. As yet, the figures
for which lots will be sold have not
been settled, but they assured the
Review that they would be reason.
able and on terms satisfactory to
the purchaser.
The large street through the
plan from north to south will be
known as Third avenue. On 1t
the cars will enter the town. The
street from the river to the hill will
be known as Main street. The
con tract has already been let for
the paving of these two streets, and
as we'll portion OF Third avenue,
one block nearer the river than
Fourth.
Not only has the contract been
let for the paving of these streets,
but for a complete system OF sew
erage and for a complete water
system. Work will be commenced
at once, just as soon as the plat is
made on the ground
An electric light plant will be
conducted in connection with the
power house for the car line, the
construction of which will be begun
at once.
The question now Is, who will
b,,.- .Lese lots Gr| Nya II this
town. Already the contracts have
been closed for the erection of en-
lion mill to make puddle Iron In
the town. This will employ $50
men, enough to make quite town
In itself. Shortly after 1t IS In op
Grafton 1t will be extended to make
bar iron and such articles as horse
shoes. The projectors of this plant
will commence work In very few
days, and 1t Is given out that by the
time the cars are running, which Is
given as three months, iron will be
produced.
A glass bottle factory Is also to
be constructed shortly to employ
one hundred and twenty. FIVE men.
Other manufacturing establish
ments are under way, but Mr.. Miller
desires to do In the future as he
has done Ia the past-promises
nothing until he knows 1t Is GER
tainty.
These people have promised
nothing In the past that has not
come true just as represented. The
Review believes that they will con-
tinue this course, and that Paden's
Valley Is a certainty, just as much
so as the railroad.
And the Review will 60 further
and say, as 1t always has said, that
the line to Middlebourne will be
constructed and that very shortly
after the other line Is under way.
1t must be remembered that the
people at the head of this matter
have quite few difficulties Of their
own right now, and 1t Is not more
than reasonable to imagine that
they need a little time to get things
In shape on the Martinsviile line
before taxing up the actual con =
struction of the other.
But In little while, the Review
can say about 1.-THE road to Middle
bourne. as 1t Is now about to say
about the one to New Martinsville
