ton Of the committee the fact that
ali stone paving and curbing is cost
ing the city about 10 or - per cent
moro this year than heretofore. So
idi as Hs Hdl Decn bDlc 10 ascertain,
this was due TO the fact that all quar-
ries furnishing this stone are under
one control, and make a uniform price,
ana boca USE excessive charges are be-
ing made by the railroads for deliver
ing stone from tho Quarrics. Mr.
Boiling said the city was giving the
railroads large concessions in tho use
OF streets without charge. allowing
sdings in many directions. and should
he given some consideration in return.
lie had been Informed that one road
would not take the cars of another,
and that contractors had been unable
10 get cars delivered on sidings con-
venicnt to the work TO be done, unless
the order Tor the stone were placed
through some private merchant for
whose use the sdings had been built.
The committee agreed that the con-
duet of he railroads. in view of the
many concessions made by tho Com
mittcc on Streets. was very high hand
ed. and the City Engineer was in
structed 10 write an emphatic letter of
protest on hchaif OF the committee, the
suggestion being made that further
switching and siding concessions be
held up in the committee until some
more reasonable attitude is adopted By
tile railroads toward the city and its
contractors engaged on public work.

BIG SANDY AGAIN.

I'm another column appears an
announcement for meeting of citi-
zens at Frederick Hotel, Huntington,
relative to the improvement of the
Big Sandy river. This may be i'm
portant to large number of people.
but we venture the opinion that If
the same amount of money were
spent on public roads in the COM
nunity as has already been spent
on Big Sandy. it would do ten times
~ many people still greater good.
But the government happens to be
in the river improvement business
and not in the road building bust
ness, so we might all join in getting
our share.
This is the light in which the Tri-
State Enterprise. Of Kenova, regards
the Improvement of one of the most
important waterways in the Middle
West-just a grab at the pork
barrel. !" The Enterprise is doubtless
ignorant of the fact that there is
IN the counties of Johnson, Floyd.
Pike and Letcher the largest area
Of coal in the known world. or the
amount of coal of various kinds
there is in this vast domain no adj
equate conception can be formed.
No finer bituminous coal, for steam.
heat and coke. is to be found any
where. This statement is not guess
work. Actual surveys and measure
ments attest its truth. Centuries
OF mining would not exhaust these
apparently limitless deposits Of fue'.
The Big Sandy river is the natural
outlet for this measureless minera
wealth. One railroad has penetrated
its present facilities and equipment |
it can move only about one-tenth OF
the output of the mines now OPEN !
ed, and the necessity for the con-
tinuation and completion of the pro-
jected locks and dams is most eyi
dent Comparatively, there is as
great necessity for this improve
ment as there is for the improve
ment of the Ohio. Coal mined in
the big coal field of the upper San
dy and shipped by water to points
along the Ohio river could be sold
for ,arv fni,oh Iay, 90 thnoa rnintc
than what it is sold for now Some
coal barons are robber barons no
less than the wheat and the sugar
and the oil barons are, and these
are they who would restrain the
Government through it's Congress
rom making any further appropria-
ions for the Improvement of the /
waterways which border or penetrat5 r
he coal fields of the land. They I
ost out in their effort to kill the
,roject of improving the Ohio, and f"
orthwith they leased every avail I
BILE acre along the river for coal I
ards, and with every drop of the n
aercury the price of their hoard 3
YES up.
