Importance to clarksburg. II is be-

be taken to move the Institute to

Thus, is the meeting Important.
'Broaddus has been a Clarlsburg edu-
cational Institution many years and
its removal to another place is not
looked upon with favor of the many
residents here who appreciate it
most.
The Bridgeport proposal is not
bad one and there is but slight OBJ
lection to It's going to that place,
whore site is offered but two or
three miles from the corporate limits
of this city. Located there it would
virtually still be at Clarksburg so
far as the state is concerned.
There is said to be a move to re-
move the school to Philippi. That,
is too far away from clarksburg to
suit this city and leading business
men should make 1t a point to have
conferences with the board looking
to the schools removal to Bridgeport,
II it is' to- be moved, and urge the
board not to take It miles away
from this city.
