NEW CITY OFFICIALS

Now that M%artinsburg has a brand
new City Council under the new char
ter, and no holdovers as heretofore
under the old. and a new mayor to di-
rect its deliberations. a word about
them individually might not be con.
sidered out OF place.
Mayor Caskey.
Mr., w. Rufus Caskey, tha new
mayor of Martinsburg. is one of the
best known business men in the city,
Born at Bunker Hill, the son of Mr..
w. p. Caskey, he has spent almost his
entire life in Martinsburg. Ten years
ago he went into the baking business
for himself. having thoroughly learn.
ed the trade beforehand, and now be
has a large and prosperous business.
He has served a term in the City
Council and his experience in munich.
pal affairs then will stand him in good
stead now. He is personally popular
and will doubtless employ the same
energy, intelligence and judgment IN
his administrative duties that be has
in his private affairs.
Councilman Smith.
Mr.. Harry Smith, councilman from
the First Ward, Is an old hand at the
business, so to sepak. as he Is now be
ginning his second term in the City
Council. Coming from Middleway
Jefferson county, where he was born
and reared, he has been a Martins
burger for the past ten years. He Is
perhaps best known in this conmun-
ity as a ~irstclass photographer. but
al the same time he has a taste for
affairs and is bound to be a valued
member OF Council.
Councilman Trammeii.
Councilman Frank J. Trammeii from
the Second Ward Is the pushing young
insurance agent, and as such he IL
known the county over. He is the son
OF the late Jacob S. Trammell, this
city. This is his first experience IN
practical city affairs. but everybody
thinks he will be one of the ltvest
men in the counciInanic body, and
that confidence in him is very com
plimentary.
Councilman Bert.

Ward. Mr.. w. S. Bert, halls from

noyance to citizens and the pub
lie. I believe that n of the most i'm.
portant problems that will come be
fore the Council will be to furnish
some convenient, adequate and safe
way of travel to and from these two
sections of the city. While not de-
string to anticipate any action of the
Council In this matter, I would recon-
mend a bridge over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad at East Martin street
and a subway under the railroad at
Queen street. / believe that this Is
the most practical and at the same
time the only solution to the question,
Other towns and cities, much smaller
than ours, have these conveniences
and u people have a right to expect
us to make an effort in that direction,

ommend that suitable cans or vessels
of some kind be placed at convenient
intervals along the streets for the de-
post of refuse of all kinds, and shall
use my best endeavors for the strict
enforcement of the present ordinances
relative to the practice OF throwing
refuse on the street. / would recon-
mend that the Council provide for the
regular sweeping of the macadam
streets and that the crossings be kept
free from mud and dust at all times
I desire to recommend the contin'

ing the paved streets. This seems to
give the best results of any method
heretofore tried. l recommend that
the man employed in this work be
suitably uniformed as in other towns
and cities. This can be done with the

of the great limestone deposits OF
Berkeley county. should not have the
best streets in the country. The prac-
tice heretofore has been to repair the
macadam streets by filing up the
holes and the result is an uneven sur
face without any direct benefit TO the
streets and a positive detriment to
traffic. Experiments in modern road
and street building are now being
made in nearly all the larger towns
and cities of the country. Numerous
preparations are now being used for
binding the surfaces and laying dust
on macadan roads and streets. 1t
should be our purpose to investigate
these different methods OF street inn
provement and from the experiments
made in other cities, secure the best
results possible. The displacement of
the surface of the streets by the lay
ing of the new pipe lines and the abb
solute necessity of improved streets
will require a much larger a%ppropria-
ton for this purpose. ] therefore de-
sire to recommend that the a%ppropria-
iton for streets for the coming fiscal
year be made sufficiently large to en-
able the city engineer to re-surface
the .naeadam streets in every part Of
the city and make whatever street
improvements the council may deem
wise.
/ would recommend that the present
paving be extended and continued on
West King street to the Cumberland
Valley Railroad and that On East Mar
tin street to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
Bridge Over q. & o.
I desire particularly to call the at
tention of the Council to the situa-
ton of those of our citizens living
north and east of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. The means provided
for these people to get from their own
section to the main part of the city
are exceedingly poor and often very
dangerous. The delays to traffic and
pedestrians caused by the often un-
necessary blocking of the Queen street
crossing are a continual source of an

II has been over twelve years since
the ordinances OF the city have been
codiied. Numerous ordinances have
been passed since that time and are
scattered through the records OF the
Council. These ordinances are not
available to the public. l would rec

be properly codifed.

in reference to the equipment and
maintenance OF this department. un-
derstand that the present income from

ance and I believe with the laying Of
new pipe lines and the replacing OF
the cement mains with iron pipe will
decrease the cost of maintenance and
increase the With proper
management this department should
show a profit in the near future.
Market and Market Laws.
I would recommend that the Coun-
ell revise the present market laws.
Frequent complaints have been made
about short weights and short meas

Council pass stringent laws to regu-

In conclusion | wish to assure the
members of the Council that they will
have my support for every easur
that has for its purpose better MUM

NEW YORK, Nov 12-Collector

seizure OF a necklace Of pearls valued
at many thousands Of dollars from

which is now in the hands of the Gus
toms authorities
The necklace was Struggled into
this country four years ago, and mys-
terious information conveyed to the
collector by a relative Of Mrs. Hansen
some four months ago started an In
vestigation (which resulted in the
seizure. Mrs. Hansen is the wife Of
Carl Fischer-H Hansen, the lawyer who
was disbarred and served a term of
one year on Blackwell's Island for
subornation Of perjury.
Mrs. Hansen is the daughter of
Isaac " Brokaw, a clothing million

After the customs officials had COM
pleted their case, they called on
Brokaw and demanded that he pro-
duce the necklace. He cabled his
daughter, who was travelling in
Europe at the time. and she returned
to America and turned the necklace
over to Collector Loeb. The latter
is now investigating whether criminal
prosecution shall be undertaken.
