Gus suggestions the mayor had made
as to the expense of publication being
more than the cost Of paving; how a
wheelbarrow full OF brick would be all
that Tvac necessary m complete the
JOB, and numerous other remarks ex-
pressing his opinion of the foolishness
of letting 50 small a contract. there
was hardly nan on the council who
expected 70 find six votes-all but one
member-for tca resolution. The roll
call, however. showed all but Psenicka
in favor Of laying the paving this year.
Says Will Never Be Laid.
After the vote on the resolution the
mayor declared that the public would
consider it a joke 10 advertise for four
or five blocks Of paving that would
never be laid. After the meeting the
mayor was asked by the Times Repub-
lican whether or not he expected to
veto the resolution. The mayor re-
piled that he did not care to express
himself, but added You can imagine
what l Will do 10 such a resolution"

B. & 0. WILL LAY A THIRD TRACK
Now Locating Grade from Rodamer
to Terra Alta.

The B. & 0. X. R. Co. has a large
force of its engineering corps at Terra
Alta for the purpose Of establishing a
grade for its third track from Rodamer
to Terra A lta, which move was previous
ly recommended by President Willard
while making his first inspection tour
over the entire system owned, operated
and controlled by the B. & O. and its
subsidiaries. The proposed new third
track which is to be built will parallel
the present main line to a point about
300 yards east of Rodamer's tunnel,
where the three tracks will vary to the
north and run due northwest through a
ravine known to hunters and old set
tiers as ''foX cut" and strike the old
line at point near Rodamer tower, do
ing away with the tunnel altogether.
The third track will be a great bene-
fit to the company in the way of dis
patching its eastbound trains over the
part of the Allegheny mountains where
traffic is the heaviest, and which will
be the means of preventing many delays
to passenger and freight traffic which
occurs daily between Rodamer, the ex-
IRENE point of the third track between
Cheat river and that place and the top
of the mountain at Terra Alta.
