In many West Virginia towns,
when man can't pay his fine he is
turned over to the street com.
missioners and is compelled to work
it out on the streets. This is something
practicable and shows good sense in
municipal government. If Oakland
would do this it would be good thing
for the town. There would be less dis
order if the offenders were required
to work out their fines with pick anG
shovel.

doctors visit was not an agreeabl,
one, in some respects, as there was al
most continuous rain during his entir
stay and he was glad to get back tc
Oakland, which town, he says, has
more natural attractiveness than tn
far famed resort which he visited.
