MAYOR AND ALDERMEN
ACCEPT THE new FIRE
ENGINE AND TRUCK
FRANCHISE ORDER TO cARPEN
TER AND ASSOCIATES PASS.
ED ON THIRD READING.
SPECIAL CALLED MEETING HELD
Also Decided to Purchase 500 Feet Of
Hose and Fire Truck, as Present
Equipment Is Too F'rail for LARGE
Engine of Hundred Horse Power.

The board of mayor and aldermen
met in special session Friday evening
at the city hall. The meeting was
short one, and the business was trans
acted in short time.
The franchise ordinance of ]. H.
Carpenter and associates was passed
upon third and final reading. This
ordinance grants to Mr.. Carpenter the
privilege of erecting a light plant In
the city and doing a general lighting
business.
The new fire truck was accepted. 1t
was decided best to buy five hundred
feet of new hose to 60 with the en-
CINE. The hose that has been used
with the old truck is too small and
rotten to stand the pressure from the
hundred horse power engine of the
new truck The board was unanimous
in the opinion that it was best to pur-
chase the new hose. The fire truck
was cordially commended and the
city fathers approved the expenditure
of the money for it. 1t has proven in
the tests that have been made that
it is much more efficient than the old
horse truck.

the NEXT BATTLE

constant attack by the parties out

much and so we'll along the lines of
legislation demanded by the people
THAT it all commends itself to them
>and mere attack can make but lit

Another thing that is favorable
80 the Democratic party is the fact
chat the Republican party has just
been so strongly discredited by the
people that it will naturally take
considerable time for it to restore
itself to their favor again. 1t
must, in short, do works meet for
repentance before the people will
put their faith in it again.
The so-called third party is real.

Messrs. Perkins and Roosevelt and

In an exhaustive opinion announced
last week in Martinsburg by the federal
tribunal, composed of Judge pritchard
and Judge Wood, of the Federal Circuit
Court of Appeals, and Judge Dayton, OF
the Federal District Court for Northern
West Virginia. the West Virginia Public
Service Commission won a sweeping
victory in the suit of the Pittsburgh Light
and Heat Company to enjoin the COM
mission from enforcing radical reduction
in its rates TO consumers in this State.
The decision OF the court denied the ap-
plication of the gas company for an in
junction and upheld the Public Service
Commission in every phase of the famous
case. The finding Of the commission in
revising the rates for gas to consumers in
West Virginia, which made a reduction
amounting to $12l 600 annually, was ap-
proved by the court. The court also set
at rest the question OF the validity of the
act of the legislature creating the Public
Service Commission, holding that this
law is constitutional and above attack.
Notice of an appeal from this decision to
the United States Supreme Court was
Immediately filed by counsel for the gas
company. 49,.

Shepherdstown-By A Westerner

A first impression of Shepherdstown is
one OF tranquillty-a second impression
is one OF appreciation OF the industry, the
patient endeavor and Self-Sacrifice that
have builded here in this valley town OF
beauty. A home town, a substantial,
peaceful, lovable old town is Shepherds
town in the eye of the stranger. loo
many complimentary words could not be
said of a place such as this. The stranger,
especially the Westerner, fresh from the
gaudy incompleteness ofhiS own country,
finds here a contented yet hopeful spirit
such as no city or town in the West can
claim. The Westerner cannot, or ought
not, fail in appreciation OF these things.
The citizens of Jefferson county, man,
woman or child, should share this APP
probation should, in fact, live here with
complete understanding OF the good
thiEgs that abound in this valley OF peace
and plenty.
Shepherdstown, with its beautiful shaded
streets, comfortable homes, schools and
churches, is a town worth knowing init
mately. The hoSpitable and companion
able people OF Shepherdstown are the
salt OF the earth. If TO those who live
here there can come fuller realization OF
this fact, there will be here in this town
and vicinity an even greater degree OF
happiness-if that were attainable here
below. WESTERNER.

Progressives nominated ]. w. Ward for
Congress, and he will divide the vote
with Adam Littlepage, the Democratic
nominee, and Capt. S. B. Avis. the Re-

was made by some OF the imitation Pro-
gressives, led by the redoubtable Jim
Rucker, to endorse Captain Avis and
prevent opposition TO him, but those OF
the genuine brand promptly threw out
the kickers and went ahead with their
announced business. II must be said for

handled this year. Governor Hatfield

The Interstate Commerce Commission
made public last Saturday its decision in
regard TO the application OF the railroads
for five per cent increase in freight rates.
The petition for flat increase is denied,
although certain increases on various
commodities are granted TO some of the
railroads. In refusing general advance
in freight rates the commission expresses
the opinion that there is no justification
for the proposition to place additional
burdens on shippers. and suggests that
the railroads exercise economy in opera
ton and show more ability in manage
ment, stopping the leaks and using pru-
dence in their methods. Ii is pointed out
that many millions may be saved each
year by correcting abuses and extrava-
gances that are connected with the man.
agement of the railroad business, and un-
til these reforms are instituted there
should not be further imposition upon the
people.

gestlons OF the commission are eminently
sound and sensible.
