Project TO
DAM TYGAR1'SS
Valley RIVER
AN IMMENSE DAM TO BE BUILT
ACROSS TY6ARTs svALEENs Vi
RIVER ABOVE BELiN6ToN
TO STORE WATER
FOR CITY USE. y
May Be A B. AND o. SCHEME.
THE CITIES OF cALRksBURa AND
GRAFTON MAY GETiA + p RE n
WATER SUPPLY. FIR ON 4
THIS SouRcE

There Is rumor that has been go-
ing the rounds for seevral days and 3
as time goes on it seems to get strong
er. 1t is to the effect that some big
concern is making Arrangements to
dam the Tygarts Valley river at q
point near Belington for the purpose
of storing water for the cities that
may want It. tits said that the water
above Belington Is absolutely pure for
here Is nothing in the stream to con.
taminate 1t. All of the z pollution
and 1t Is very, little In the Valley river
Is below that point. II IFS also said
that from this source! the city Of
Clarksburg is to get Its supply Of
water. Grafton, too, is TO have part
of the supply. that Is to be stored In
the immense dams. 1t Is also stated
that even Fairmont may get water for
domestic purposes from that source.
No one seems to know who is behind
the project but there Is q feeling that
the men behind the, project are get.
ting the support OF the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company
There Is not much foundation for
the rumor that Fairmont will get her
water supply from thee Valley river
at n point above Belington for 1t has
only been q few weeks ago that the
city sold bonds for thee purpose Of
the Valley river about "a mile above
the confluence Of the West Fork river.
There, is more foundations for the
Clarksburg end of the story for that
city has no water supply to speak Of
and to have good water would mean
much for that city. Some years ago
when Clarksbnrg was passing through
a dreadful water famine there was
much talk about bringing water from
the Great Lakes, Ora toit sand Fair:
mont have both had d good water
supply and there would be no reason
for these cities to want water carried
so great distance. 81
