HIGHWAY MUST
Be REPAIRED
County Court Intends TO Have Dam.
ages or Compel Repairs
of the Roads.

! Resulting from the county courts
inspection OF the county highways
at Swlger's mill on the Short Line
railroad and the road at the Pooz
coal mine below Lumberport, the
court intends to institute actions
against the railroad company and the
operators OF the coal mine. The
court and the county surveyor, C. G.
Fittro, made the inspection Wednes-
day afternoon.
At swiger's mill the court found
that the railroad company had taken
about 400 feet OF the old Shinnston
and Middlebourne pike, and made a
road below along the creek bank.
Half Of this for 100 feet had slip
ped three feet below the other half
and the road is very narrow and so
close the creek bank that there is
danger from high waters.
At the Poor mine the operators
took the old shinnston and Lumber
port pike and built a new road up
against hill. This road is also
very narrow and dangerous.
The court is determined to either
collect damages or force the corpor-
,ations to make good roads and keep
them in repair.
The street car company is already
engaged in repairing the highway
along the Interurban line between
this city and Fairmont, not desiring
to have any trouble or litigation
with the county court.

gineers in the employ of the Gould

road will be built within the next
few years. The survey runs from
Hickory. Pa, on the Wabash Pitts
burg terminal road through Wash
ington and Waynesburg toward Fair
mont and Belington, w. va.
According to statements the Gould
officials have given up the plans Of
extending the road beyond Waynes-
burg. where connection is planned
with the Uniontown and Wheeling
short line purchased some time ago
by the Gould interests.
