Hood ROADS CONVENTION WELL attended MEETING WAS FINE

a steam roller weighing from 8 to
1S tons should be used. Here a TO-
ton steam roller is the thing. Road
working here should be from May
to November. Next he discussed
culverts and how to place them,
watersheds, grades, etc, being things
to take into consideration. 1t is
NOT how much material is used, but
how it is used. Less material and
better placed is the idea, The first
thre inches of the roadbed should be
of material 2 1-2 inches in diameter: !:
two inches of other material should
be placed on this and rolled and then
put the roof on so as to make the
road impervious.
In conclusion he said, wood, iron
and steel bridges have served their
day and re-enforced concrete is TAX
ing their places.
Col. 7. P. Rixey followed with

CLASS Factory Z
WANTS LOCATION.

There is good reason to believe
that Bridgeport will soon have
large glass factory, the result of the
indueement over in cheap gas, the
rate being only thre and one-half
cents a thousand feet. The last
three days j. G. Todd and f. i.
Rcigglae, two practical window glass
men from Smithport, Pa, and w. II.
Weld, Of similar industry at Salem,
this county, have been in conference
with residents Of both Salem and
Bridgeport regarding the matter and
held conferences at the Waldo hotel
in Clarksburg.
The gentlemen want a free site of
about thre and one-half acres and
three ond one-half cent gas has been
offered them.
The establishment Of this industry
means the employment Of from $50
to 200 men and a monthly payroll of
about fifteen thousand dollars, and
it means an increase in population
of from three to five hundred people.
From a business point of view, the
people of either place can not afford
TO let this opportunity go by default.
The scarcity and high price Of fuel
in other states is becoming a serious
problem to the glass industries, and
our abundance Of four cent gas is d
great inducement for capitalists to
abandon their,old locations and move
their plants to West yirginia. The
people Of the Mountain State should
be wise in securing large industries
and build up manufacturing inter-
ests in our own state and not allow
all Of our natural resources carried
away to boom enterprises in other
states and let our own opportunities
20 logging.
So far as can be learned nothing
definite or final has been done at
either place, but Salem has raised
about $4,000 in pledges for a sicbt.
