mission, and if possible, arrive at
some amicable settlement in ac-
cordance with the terms of the deci-
sion handed down by the UNI Led
States Supreme Court. That COM
mission is now ready to take up its
work. AMI letter from Governor
Hathfeld to Chairman John B. Moon,
of Virginia commission, requests that
July 29th be fixed as the date for
the conference and Richmond as the
place. Governor Hatfield also adj
dllssed similar letter to Governor
Mann, and Governor Hatfield has
tccn informed that both the time
and place will be satisfactory to The
Virginia Commission.
There are eleven men named on the
commission, as follows: Henry Lilll-
ken. of Wellsburg; John W Mason,
of Fairmount; J. A. Lenhart, of King
wood; VIM. r. Ice, of Phillip; U. &.
Young. of Buchannon; Joseph f..
Chiffon, OF Charles.owh; j. "A. Boz
reman, of parkerhburg; John M.Ham-
ilton. of Grantsville; William D.
Ord, Of Larigraff; Joseph S. Miller,
of Kenova, and w. T. Wells, of New
ell.
According to the decision of the
Supreme Court. West Virginia, owes
he state of Virginia the sum of ST.
fS2,6O7 AZ. end the court suggested
that the matter of interest OF this
debt which will amount to sum OF
nearly as great as the principal, be
agreed upon at a conference between
the TWO states in an effort to ar
rive at some amicable settlement.
The Commonwealth Of Virginia has
made repeated efforts to adjust the
debt. which viii amount 10 sum
until suit was brought in the Su-
preme Court, that court decided that
West Virginia owes the mother state
this money with the interest. The ap-
poinl ment Of the commission. and
the request for conference is the
first definite step West Virginia has
taken looking toward settlement ol
the obligation.
