PUBLIC DEMANDS SAFETY

Tomorrow, July oath, will be
four years since the Teter Build
ing burned, on the corner of
Bridge street and Grim avenue.
This building was owned by Floyd
Teter and when completed it was
said to have been one of the best
buildings of its kind and size in
the state, and was very attractive.
1t was used for department stores
and business offices, and spoke
well for the city 1t was thought
after the disastrous fire that the
building would be rebuilt within
a few months. Four years have
passed and a shell of lettering
walls remain where once stood a
magnificent building.
Why should not this building
have been rebuilt after reason
able time, is the question that is
being asked by many a passer-by.
The Court records show that Mr..
Teter gave the Insurance Com
panies ample time to pay the in
surance he had on his buildings.
The Insurance Companies have
refused to pay the face of the
policies and have allowed the
matter of adjustment to go into
the Courts. Delay after delay,
which cannot be understood, has
started the public to think it is
evident that the present shell of
a building which is likely to cave
and topple over at any time is a
detriment to the community, and
an eye-sore" to the city. The
city council have gone to the limit
in the way of condemning the
building, passing orders, remove
ing buildings and guarding the
salty of the public by placing
wires around it.
Who is to blame for all this de-
lay and neglect? 1t becomes al
most criminal.
Public salty now demands
prompt action. Here is an injury
on the city, an injury to the
property owner, adjacent prop
erty owners, and an injury to the
Insurance Companies.
Time has developed that the
Insurance Companies are to blame
for this delay. A prominent re-
preventative Of one of theselnsur-
asRce Companies said to Mr.. Teter
I'VE have it in for Belington and
are going to break you up. if you
don't take what we offer" Looks
malicious, doesn't it?
Fortunately Mr.. Teter is in a
position to be optimistic, and has
said different times that he ex-
poets to rebuild of course this
means when the insurance is
paid.
Had this building been rebuilt
two or three years ago, it would
have been used for a wholesale
and retail department store, or a
wholesale and retail furniture es-
tablishment, besides reveral bust
ness Offices, employing several
men and women. This is only a
part Of what Belington has miss
ed
How much more the community
shallmiss depends largely upon
the future delay in the payment
OF this insurance. The higher
courts have recently decided that
it is a jury question. Then why
not put it up to a jury for settle
ment without delay?

West Virginia has risen to first
place among all the States in the
production Of glass sand, accor-
ding to the recent report of the
United States Geological Survey.
The value of the glass sand pro-
duced is not as great as that pro-
duced in Pennsylvania, but the
quantity is greater, and the in
crease in the production Of 1913
is vastly greater than that Of 1912
The value OF the total production
Of sand and gravel in West Vir-
GINA for 1913 was 1898, 933, COM
pared viii $3.50, OPS in 1912. The
value of the glass sand produced
in West Virginia in 1912 was
S287, 038 while the value of the
glass sand produced in the state
in 1918 was 1868, ga an increase
in year of almost $500, 600. The
report Of the Geological Survey
says: The revisianS of the tariff
on glass seems to have had no
effect on the production of glass
sand, if we may judge by the
quantity reported soldD
