Governor Signs Measure Pro
viding for a Bond Issue of
One Million Dollars.
ACTION MAKES NEW
STATE HOUSE CERTAINTY
Work on the Building Will Be
Pressed as Rapidly as
Is Possible.

The state capitol bill is now a law.
The measure was signed Monday af-
ternoon by Governor William Spry
and filed with the secretary of state.
The bill contained an emergency
clause. and became law the moment
il was signed by the governor.
Under this law the state board of
Joan commissioners is authorized to
issue Immediately state bonds to the
amount of $l,000.000. to be spent un-
tol commission and with the approval
Of the state board of examiners for
the erection of new state capitol
The measure passed both houses of
the legislature more than a week ago,
and il has been held up by the gov
ernor in order that he might obtain
the best legal advice possible relative
TO the constitutiopalitv of the bill.
Some questions as to the validity Of
the measure were raised. and in order
to make them clear the governor
called into consultation with him sew
eral of the most prominent legal
authorities Of the state. The attorneys
agreed that the bill was constitutional
in every way. and on their advice the
governor signed the bill.
The signing of the measure closes a
campaign of two years for new state
capitol. Two years ago Governor Spry
sent u special message 10 the state
legislature, urging the enactment OF
legislation providing for the building
of new state capitol Several
measures were passed by tho legisa-
ture OF 1907 looking 10 the erection
of new capitol. One of these pro,

UNITED CHARITIES
Ministerial Association Acts Favorabt,
on proposition to Organize Board
of Associated Charities.

At the ministerial meeting Monday,
Mrs. Guy Hetzel, the active and e.
f,cient leader in the charitable work OF
the stone Settlement Home, presented
III person a request that the Minister
ial Association consider the advisable
ity of organizing local Board OF AS
ISOLATED Charities. To this end she
suggested that all CT the churches and
charitable and philanthropic organza-
items be invited to form an organic
union and work together for a COM
mon purpose. 1t was pointed out THAI
such an organization could accom-
a1lish far more in the way of judicious
ard effective work along charitable
lines than when the churches and 9th
er organizations act separately.
Then, too. under such condition
there is less liability for persons to
imposs on any single church by a
fraudulent appeal for charity. because
such case would be at once referred
10 tbs board for investigation and by
this means the impostor would be
found out and exposed,
The proposition was received faycr
ably on the part of the Ministerial AS
ISOLATION and a step forward was TAX
er at once. A committee, consisting
If Rev. DR.. F. NJ. Woods, Rev. w. d
McCnrdy and Miss Elizabeth Hon
drick. was appointed to draft Goa
stitution and bylaws and TO invite the
various churches and charitable aGt
philanthropic organizations 10 ioir
the Associated Charities. The com
mittee will report at the next minis
terial meeting
This idea is new in Martinsburg blu
has been in vogue in, the larger cities
FOR years. The need for such an or
gsnization, as described, has been fel
here for some time, and it is note
orthy that the Stcne Home is thu
first to take the initiative in thi'
Icoyement.
