The Turnpike.

Editor Statesman: win your Coui
tesy / desire to express my expert
ence in an endeavor to get the County
Court to take up the individual in-
terests ofths Martinsburg and VIM
chester Turnpike Company aud throw
open the gates and keep the pike IN
repair as the statute provides, ac;s OF
1908 page 1928.
NY first proposition was that the
country buy the individual stock at
$40 per share which proposition was
not accepted by the court, and my
inse tig ation OF the case brought to
my attention the fact that the late
Mrs. Virginia Stewart's 81 shares OF
the stock is appraised at S2-75 per
shae recorded in book page 10 in
clerk S office also the fact that the
late Robert Lannon's stock was APP
praised al 81 per share and recorded
in book II, appraised and sod pfi-
yately b, his administrator at that
price. These facts coming to my
knowledge in the investigation in
duced me as the representative OF 81
citizens, signers to said petition to re-
quest of the court that they direct the
policy the Turnpike Co., requiring
the receipts OF the gates used in
placing the roadbed in proper coudt-
ton less current expenses. On the Sth
of June the matter was under consid-
Grafton. The court cont. olling 3 S OF
the stock we based our claim on that
fact
l now desire to call your attention
to the character of the answer given
back to the petitioners. I'm the matter
OF the petition of John T. Ianney ct
al effecting the Winchester end Mar
tinshurg turnpike. TIE court took up
the matter on June 9th and invest-
gated same. 1t appearing that there
is no surplus in the treasury of the
said Turnpike company and that there
has been no dividend declared by the
company since 1903 therefore there
was no action takel Now Mr. Edi-
tor appeal 10 you and l appeal to
the people of Berkeley county if this
is satisfactory answer to the re-
quest Of those petitioners to the man
ner in which the affairs of the turn
pike have been conducted.
1t seemed for while an easy mat
ter to apply the receipts OF the gates
to dividends and let the road bed wear
out and value OF turnpike stock en-
nance by paying DIVIDENDS. There
have some other things come to my |
knowledge voluntarily since the Pc
titeon was written ! have been in
formed that that the franchise of the |
Telephone Co. has never realized any |
revenue to the county. 1t seems that
the town of Ma;tinsburg has been
benefited to the prejudice of the
country which is suffering on Il e
same plan of iniquity as the owners
of bank stock who live in the county
districts who | am creditably infoi M
ed own So of Martinsburg banking
capital all taxed there and the couniy
districts losing shat revenue.

with what unanimity the desire for an
increase of the salary of the President
is felt. Almost without exception the
Senators aud Representatives declare
themselves to be in favor not alone of
an increase but of II permanent income
