At the risk of becoming tire
some and being called bore, the
Chronicle again calls attention
to something that is of interest
to every taxpayer in Grantsville.
It is the condition of the walk
leading from the foot of Main
street to the wharf. The season
Of the year has arrived when
practically all the travel and
traffic in and out of Grantsville
is by boats, and before the win
ter season is over nearly every
man, woman an child in town
will have to go to the wharfboat.
To get there 1t is necessary to
wade in mud over ones shoetops.
The darkness surrounding it is
Stygian. The cost of building a
walk to the wharf and putting in
couple lights would be nothing
compared with the benefit it
would be to the taxpayers, and
for the life of us we cannot un.
derstand why the work was not
done long ago.

Government Crop Report

Washington, D. c., Dec. 16 -
A summary of estimates of crop
production and price for the
State of West Virginia and for
the United States, compiled by
the Bureau of Crop Estimates
land transmitted through the
Weather Bureau, u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, is as fol-
lows:
Crop production in the State
this year aggregates about SO
per cent more than last year.
Prices on December | average 10
per cent lower than year ago.
making total value of crop pro-
ducuon, on this basis, about %
per cent more than last year.
The estimates are based upon
those crops whose values in the
last complete crop census repre-
scented SO per cent of the value
of all crops.
For the United States produc-
ton this year aggregates in
quantity about 8 per cent more
than LAST year. Prices Decem-
Der average l per cent lower
than a year ago, making total
value of crop production on this
basis about 8 per cent more than
last yeal; these estimates are
based upon crops whose value in
the last complete crop census
represented 50 per cent of the
value of all crops grown, and
may be regarded as representa-
tive of all crops.

Congressman Moss sends us a
copy of a bill which he has intro
duced in the House providing for
an appropriation of S13, 500, 900
by the United States for the pay
ment of the so-called Virginia
debt. When John M. Hamilton
was congressman from the
Fourth district of West Virginia
he introduced a resolution pro-
viding that in the event the Su-
preme Court Of the United States
decreed that the state of West
Virginia was liable for the pay
ment of any part of the so-called
Virginia debt that the govern
ment of the United States should
assume such liability. The SEN
tinel is not attempting to use
legal terms or phrases in discus
sing this matter, but is chiefly
recalling what has taken place.
Mr. Hamilton's resolution had
made notable progress in the
House and was receiving consid-
cradle attention from influential
members of Congress when con
gressional campaign time made
its appearance. Mr.. Moss made
his hardest fight against Mr.,
Hamilton on the fact that Mr..
Hamilton had introduced such a
measure, intimating that Mr..
Hamilton thus recognized the
Virginia debt as a rightful one.
Mr.. Hamilton was defeated by
Mr.. Moss, the Supreme Court of
the United States did recognize
the Virginia debt as rightful
one and now Mr.. Moss is appeal
ing to Congress to pay it. Had
Mr.. Hamilton been reelected, it
is not all improbable that his
measure would have become law
before the Supreme Court deeid-
ed against the state of West Vir-
ginia and the Flew Dominion
would have been relieved Of the
responsibility of paying the debt
AS it is now there is no more
probability Of the government

1t is very probable that the
ratification or rejection Of a bond
issue for waterworks for Grants
vile will have to be submitted to
the people again during the next
few months. The ordinance at
flied by the voters last February
provided for bonds in the demon
ination of 500 and it was found
impossible to sell bonds Of that
small denomination. Several
bids were submitted that called
for bonds in the denominations
Of $500 and 81, 200, but capital
lists were unwilling to take the
smaller ones. On account of
tnis and other irregularities in
the ordinance it will be uecessa-
ny to have a new election before
the bonds can be sold and the
system installed.
There can be little question
that people Of Grantsville are
heartily in favor of waterworks
system. This was proven con-
clusively at the last election and
there are many voters who OPP
posed the plan that have chang
ed their opinion since that tine.
The Chronicle calls attention
TO the matter now for the reason
that the town election is ap-
preaching and in order to get the
waterworks question before the
people council that will submit
tke question must be elected.

fight will be made to elect a ma

SUBSCRIPTION.

The Chronicle is informed that
an attempt will be made to show
that it mis-repreSented the con-
ditions of the various road funds
4 few weeks ago when it showed
the general road fund and the
Sheridan districc road fund to be
largely overdrawn and the funds
of the other districts. with the
exception of Sherman, to be
rather close up. The figures US
ed by the Chronicle that week
were obtained from the County
Clerks Office and until we are
shown better we will believe
them. The Chronicle also knows
that figures do not lie, but liars
sometimes figure.
Ii by sleight-oi-hand or magic
Juggling with figures it is posi-
be to make large balances Of
real money appear to the credit
of the various fueds, no one will
be more gratihed than the Cal
houn Chronicle. 1t realizes only
too we'll the sad need of such bal

overdrawn road funds the Chron-
icle is loaded with grape shot
and canister.
