IS STREET CAR DIRECTORS
INSPECT EXTENSION
From Adamston to Wolf Summit.
With a View to Beginning the
Construction of the Line
at Once
Later it Will Likely be Extended to Salem. New
Ownership Decides to Make Extensive I'm
provements. Line May Not Touch
Shfnnston

The new ownership of the street car
line. composed of clarksburg and Fair
mont business men, already shows eyi-
dcnec Of enterprise and the decision to
extend and equip the system.
Some OF the directors went out the
northwestern turnpike today Tor thepur-
pose of viewing the route Of the pro-
posed extension to Wolf Summit. It
has been decided to build that extcn-
sion the coming summer. Later the line
viii likely be extended to Salem.
The visit Of the directors in the neigh
borhood of wilsonburg created much in
terest as the citizens Of that section have
been very anxious a long time to have
the street car come there. In the party
was Pennsylyanian or two who are in
terestcd in the development of coal and
other Industries in West Virginia and es-
pccially in this section They were much
impressed with the advisability Of the
extension of the street car system in
several directions.
The cars in use here have become con-
siderably worn and the present service Is
not what the new management desires it
to be. Steps have already been taken
to improve it. but some delay will be
experienced on account of the difficulty
in getting supplies at this busy season
Of the year. However, the orders will
be filed as speedily as possible and in
a few weeks there viii be wonderful i'm
proyemcut in the service. The tracks
win all be repaired and put in first class
condition and improvements will also bc
installed at the power house at Adams
ton a. well as at Fairmont.
1t is reported that the west side Of
the river win be followed in building the
line from Nonongah to Clarksburg, but
this is not verified. It is doubtful wheth-
er there is any truth in the report, as
that would cut Shinnston out, very
desirable point, through which the cars
should 90.

estimate for the tile roof was $4,000,

with the third floor when he lost his
