Owing to the proba bility that prospective pur-
chasers viii require a Judicial determination OF
the validity of the bonds to be issued some
delay will in any event intervene, and it would
seem the part of wisdom. as well as OF duty,
to proceed at once with the prehminaries neces-
sary to the issue thereof in order that their
proceeds may within some reasonable period
become available for the purposes to which
they to be devoted. respectfully suggest
that we assume all proceedings thus far had to
be valid and order the immediate issue of the
bonds
Mayor Schmitz explained that he did
not desire to reflect on the board by
suggesting that action be taken, but he
thought the matter should be hurried
a little
In the expectation that there will
be demand for the bonds said the
Mayor, II feel that something should
be done to hasten their issuance"
Braunhart produced a copy of reso-
luton asking the City Attorney to
bring the bond issue before the Su-
preme Court to determine its validity
and thought no further action should
be taken until the City Attorney had
been heard from.
SUGGESTS FRIENDLY SUIT.
That was a month ago." replied the
Mayor, "and nothing has been done
yet l think this board should take
immediate action, as l am having pre-
pared the necessary papers for the
bringing of proceedings to have de-.
cision on the legality of the bonds, in
order that their sale may be consum-
mated at an early date"
The Mayors communication was
then referred to the Committee on Pub
lie Utilities.
ut is my intention" said Mayor
Schmitz, after the meeting, ito have
friendly suit instituted by some tax
payer yet to be selected to restrain the
Board Of Supervisors from taking any
action looking TO the issuance of the
bonds This taxpayer viii assume that
action will be taken by the board upon
my recommendation. A demurrer will
be interposed on the part of the city,
which will probably be denied, and an
appeal will be Immediately taken to
the Supreme Court for an early decis-
ion. do not wish to criticize the City
Attorney, who was my late opponent,
but more than a. month has passed
since the board requested his. opinion
as to the steps necessary to be taken
to determine the validity of the bond
issue, and nothing. has yet been done in
the matter.

To the Editor of The New DOMINION:
| wish to correct a statement made
in your paper OF yesterday with regard
to my church services for Good Friday
evening. tits true Stainers Crucitix-
ion is to be sung in the church but
not by chorus Of forty voices as stat
ed. There will not be an Abbreviated
portion as the evening" service but /
shall use a special service for that
day. The Crucifixion being one of
the church services and given in the
Church is to be sung by the choir OF
Trinity Church assisted by some men,
bers of the otherchurch choirs and Miss
Thomas, Dean Wrightson, Prof. Chol-
let and Mr.. VIM. A. Page all of whom
have kindly consented to assist me in
the service. 1t is most beautiful
and impressive service and certainly
a most sacred one, being the story OF
the Crucitixion of Christ and has been
made one OF the services of the Church
and not concert. Admission is by
card because the seating capacity Of
the church is very small and attend
ance must be by invitation. 1t is
not my custom TO advertise my SER
vices as this was advertised for me
entirely without my knowledge or
council Most respectfully
JOHN Triton MARLEY,
Rector of Trinity Church.

Dreyfus Affair BEING Affiliated.

Paris, April 9.-The Dreyfus affair
continues to fiercely agitate the news
papers, but there is no indication that
the government will further pursue
the matter, owing to the chambers
adverse vote. The war office gave
out a denial of the published report
that War Minister Andre had actually
begun the formation of an investigat-
ing committee. This denial is taken
to strengthen the view that the gov.
eminent is not ready to proceed, but
the Enforcement newspapers as.
sert that plans are on foot for the re-
Mobilization Of Dreyfus to the point of
his restoration to the army.

Second Edition of Text Book
by Walter Lor;ng Webb.


Issued by John Wiley and Sons-A
Text Book on Railroad Construction
Adopted by all the Lead ng col-
leges and Universities Result OF
Years work and Study.
Messrs John Wiley and Sons OF
New York have just brought out the
second edition of comprehensive
text book Oh railroad construction,
by Webb, that is ofpeeuliar interest
to Morgantown people.
The Webb" whose name appears
in gilt letters on the truck OF this
leather bound work of slA hundred
and seventy tive pages is the same
Walter Loring Webb, who has been
for several months in charge OF sur
vey and construction of the Morgan.
town Electric Street Railway and
power house. He also did some
work at this place nearly fourteen
years ago, when he was employed
on geological survey of part this
state. He was then sent here by
the government to make maps and
drawings for report by DIR. r. G.
White on the Appalachian coal
fields. He spent about FIVE months
in Morgantown at that time. 1t
was soon after his graduation from
Corell University. Since that time
Mr.. Webb was for ten years assist
ant professor of Civil Engineering
in the University of Pennsylvania
at Philadelphia.
The text book on railroad con-
struction is the result of more than
eight years work by the author, and
is comprehensive, but compact
work. 1t has been adopted az the
text book on railroad construction
in the principal colleges and Univer-
sites a. well as being handy and
popular as field book for railroad
surveyors.
IT, first edition of this work was
gotten out by John Wiley and Sons
IN 1900. 1t was a book of much
larger page, and not suitable for a
pocket field book In this edition,
the page has been much reduced in
size and at the same time seme new
and original matter has been added.
It is really the only text book in
existence practically covering the
whole field of railroad construction
in one handy volume.
Tho thOpannh 1pouvlalno - &kn
author has enabled him TO select
the vital part of all work done ty
others, and after adding to this some
very valuable and original work of
his own, he has produced book
that has called forth the most favor
alb lie criticism, critics of engineering
subjects and text books. The sec
ton on switches and crossings con
tains formula never before worked
out correctly by any author on rail-
road construction.
1t is a matter of congratnlatiou
for the people of Morgantown to
learn that the Electric and Traction
Co. has such recognized authority
on railway construction in charge
of the building of street railway
for this city. Mr.. Webb has made
the surveys for the road. the plans
and specifications for the power
house, and is personally over seeing
the work of construction, So Morgan
town people ought have no fears
about our electric railroad being the
best and most modern, that can be
built.
