WAS NOT A BLUFF

Reflections on Attitude of Property
owners.
The statement contained in these
columns yesterday to the effect that
the Union Utility company would
discontinue all works on the West
Side trolley line to Granville was
not a bluff The company meant
just what they said and the orders
have been issued. The foremen were
notified to discharge the men this
evening. All orders for material have
been cancelled and the poles, ties,
rails, and other supplies on the
ground will either be moved to the
Walnut street extension to the ear
barn, to be used or stored for fu-
ture use on the Sabraton line
Dean and Hoffman, the contrac-
tors, will send some of their men to
Elkins, Others will work at Manning
ton and some will be added to the
Walnut street force The West
Side gang is employd today in put
ting the cuts and grades in shape SO
that they viii not be spoiled BY the
elements
This will change the plans of the
company to great extent. 1t may
be years before the West Side i'm
provements are resumed. The Sab
ration line will be the next extension
and the efforts that were being made
on the West Side will probably be
turned in that direction The rights
Of way on the porposed Sabraton
line have been offered free of all
costs.
AS stated yesterday, the company
has spent 5000, 1000 on the West Side
and the matter of $4,000 was not al
together the cause of stopping work.
1t was partly due to the principle
involved. the objections of the com
pany to being held up. One OF the
directors states that proposition
after proposition was made to the
owners, and all failed and that it
was some satisfaction to be able to
quit, in the face of.sueh ssstand and
deliver tactics. It is simply a case
of killing the goose before the golden
egg was laid.
The same spirit was manifested
towards the Black Bottle railroad,
in 1887. Exhorbitant prices asked
by land owners made it necessary to
condemn the rights of way, causing
a delay of months in getting down
TO work The panic followed and
the work was not resumed for 10
years.
The Wabash is meeting with the
same sort OF opposition in this coun-
ty. They have offered 5000 and more
an acre for land that otherwise
would not be worth $50, and have
been confronted with foolish demans
400 to 1000 per cent more than a
just price.
The Wabash quit in the Little
Kanawha valley after spending over
half million, ON account OF the ex-
horbitant demands of land owners.
Even the Gould millions could not
stand the demands, and all the con
tracts were transferred to the route
from Pittsburg through to the Ty
CARTS valley.

FLOUR OF BRIDGE
Needs ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to Deeker's
Creek Structure Have not been Prop
erIV Made.

The bridge across Decker's creek to
South Morgantown is in bad shape,
and arouses the ire OF all who cross it
in vehicles of any sort. Instead of re-
moving the old boards, and putting
down new ones, when hole appeared
ia the floor, the holes have been patch
ed by mailing two-lnch planks on top
Of the others. This, OF course, makes
the floor very rough, and not without
danger to horses and vehicles. The
floor should be put into proper condi-
tion by those whose duty il is to look
after such matters.
