AL UNUSUALLY lulSASohAAF
Ing Of the city council was held
last night. Quite an amount OF
business had accumulated because
of the failure of council to meet on
the first Monday of the month. and
the session last night was consider
ably protracted.
The following councilmen were
present: Bell and Ryan of the first
ward; Noll of the second; Krug OF
the third and Brown of the fourth,
just a quorum, with Mayor Meek
| In the chair Clerk Birmingham at
the desk.
Under the report of the street
committee several matters that had
been up before were discussed.
The matter of the board walk on
upper Diamond street was brough,
up by Mr.. Krug, who reported that
the street commissioner had COM
menced tearing up the walk, but
had been prevented by the residents
along the same. On motion, the
city clerk was instructed to notify
the owners of the properties ada
cent to have the walk put in proper
condition.
Mr.. Ryan brought up the mat
ter of the bridge on lower Wells
street, the repair for which had
been left with the street commits
sioner, and stated that nothing had
been done to 1t, and that the bridge
was In a dangerous condition
Street Commissioner, Rice, was
called on and stated that the bridge
would be repaired this morning.
Mr.. Bell spoke forclbly about the
condition of the paving along the
line of the street car track on
Wells street and brought out the
fact that the same should be lifted
and put In proper condition.
Mr.. Ryan again called attention
to the fact that the street cleaner
had scarcaly ever seen the lower
ends of Brown Betty and Wells, and
and any portion of Catherine and
Water streets, that they had moi
been cleaned but once or twice
year, whereas the residents were
entitled to have them put In prop
er condition at least once a month
The water committee reported
that the water line on George street
had been completed.
Under the same head later In the
evening, Mr.. Krug brought up the
matter of duplicating the plant.
Considerable discussion was had
on the matter, 1t being evidently
the consensus of opinion among
the councilman that there should
be a duplicate plant ready for any
accident that might happen. The
matter was left with the proper
icommittee with the request that
they investigate the situation, the
best form to duplicate the plant
and report at the next meeting.
Messers. Noll and Ryan were ap'
pointed members of the finance
committee pro tenn to act In the ab'
seuce of Messrs. Templeton and

Der of the residents on the Stock.
Ing avenue addition praying for
some gas lights along the new
board walk recently constructed to
their homes. The petition was
referred to the proper committee
with power to act.
In the same connection, the mat.
ter of a new form of light was
brought up by the mayor and dis.
cussed by council. The clerk was
instructed to communicate with
the manufactures regarding the
same, securing one on trial If pos.
sible.

people thcre ARE ready to give their old
time Republican majority for any can.
didates that the party chooses to nomi-
mite.
Doddridge county Is a great place for
luickcrs. but the kicking always stop.
there when the nominations are made.
A State Journal reported asked Mr..
Stuck Il st were true taiat he was a
candidate for attorney general. He re-
paied franioly that he had given the mat
ter some thought at the suggestion of
some of his dricnds. who had urged him
TO rum for thut Office, but had not reach
ed my conclusion. It i not improbable,
however, that he win make this race.
He would make good officer, as well
as popular candidate. One thing that
can be said to his credit now Is that he il
an excellent politician. He craps the
meaning of complex situation as quick
W a. any man in the state, and he al
ways knows just whore bis work will be

paigns and would seem to be entitled to
such recognition as he may desire. Be-
sides that he Is a good lawyer and n

al things into consideration, Mr.. Stuck
would make a first-class candidate for
the office, and hrst-class officer when
