Necessity For Addition to

Two matters Of Importance that will
continue to occupy the time OF mayor
Kelly and the city council are the bud
get and the proposed addition OF
compressor to the Mesa wells. During
all last week the city offices were liter
aIlv cup to their ears in work getting
the reports ready for the years bud
get This now has been turned in to
the mayor for inspection and approval
and will occupy his time for the next
few days
1t has been seen for some time that
to give efficient service a compressor
would have to be put in at the Mesa
wells, and the water committee has
been working along this end for some
time.
The matter has been again taken up
by the committee and the first bids
were opened Monday. All are not in
vet and the award will be held over
for several days more for the tardy
bids probably not being opened before
Thursday or Friday. At that time the
matter will be turned over to the city
engineer for his inspection and the
compressor will be installed as soon as
possible.

MACADAM
Thoroughfare from Fairmont
to Clarksburg is Being
Discussed.

A macadam thoroughfare from
Fairmont to Clarksburg is the bee
that is buzzing in the minds of sew
eral good roads enthusiasts 81
Marion and Harrison counties. In
fact the affair has reached the stage
where 1t has been discussed by the
county commissioners of Harrison
county and possibly by the members
of the Marion county court.
Over the road, 1t is % miles from
Clarksburg to Fa'rmont. 1t is es-
timated that a standard macadam
road will cost in the neighborhood
of three hundred thousand dollars.
The scheme as discussed is for
eacn county to expend one hundred
thousand dollars and for the re-
naming one hundred thousand to
be raised by popular subscription.
One prominent TaiTmont man said
he would undertake to raise fifty
thousand dollars in that city and
would promise 1t just as soon as the
other money was forthcoming.
Among Fairmont people who have
been consulted 1t Is said that at
least three $4,000 subscriptions have
been proffered.
