He also suggested that the fine springs
of water in Kelker park should be
tested and then walled for drinking
purposes.
Work in Kell<eF Park
As closing suggestion Professor
Davis suggested that the Municipal
League request council to place a
number of men in Kelker park this
Fall to remove briars and vines so that
the park will be in good shape next
Spring.
Referring to councils action in
adopting Warren H. Mannings plan
for park development and the plan for
making formal entrance to Kelker
park, Chairman Davis praised the pro-
gressive spirit shown by the council
men and expressed the sincere appre-
citation of the borough for the gem
erosity of Brightbill d Wright for their
donation of land for the proposed en-
trance. 1t is such ublic-spiritedness,
he declared, that results in a progress
sive, well-developed municipality.
All of the leagues old officers were
reelected, as follows: President, II.

LICENSES TO HUNT AND FISH

| Belington, w. Va, June 16-Tc
the fify-fve County Clerks and the
many thousands Of sportsmen who
are making complaint because Ii
censes to hunt and fish have not been
obtainable since the law became eff
fective on May n, / desire to make
a brief statement go that all may
know that my department is not to
blame for this delay
A requisition for these blanks was
sent to the Printing and Stationery
Clerk at Charleston on the goth day
of April, last, just ten days after the
adjourning Of the first extraordinary
session Of the Legislature, which was
as soon as data for same could be
prepared.
Fearing that these licenses might
not reach me in time to distribute To
the several Clerks before the law be-
came effective on May n, made a
special trip to Charleston for the pur-
pose Of mailing these blanks direct to
the County Clerks, reaching there on
the morning Of May 81, and was told
by both the Printing Clerk and rep
resentative Of the Tribune Printing
Company that these blanks were just
about finished and that if / would
stay in Charleston until Monday, May
"a, that they would have same ready
for shipment. Although ! stayed
there nearly week and insisted that
it was very important that these Ii
censes be distributed / failed to get
them, but was promised that they
would be shipped to me by express
within three or four days.
The first shipment Of these licenses
was received only a few days ago, and
additional shipments are arriving al
most every day, which are being for
warded to the County Clerks the same
day that they are received. | have
sent several kilograms to the Public
Printers and to the Printing Clerk in
quiring as to the progress of this
work, and am doing all possible to
hurry up same.
The several kinds of licenses may
be procured by making application to
the county clerks of your county.
