town, part Of which will be brick and
part concrete.
The town officials have asked the
Monongahela Valley Traction company
10 extend their present car line SO
TINT 1t will reach the center OF the
town. This would require less than
half mile OF additional track con-
struction as the line now extends from
the Clarksburg and Fatrmont inter

Are Getting the Colfax
Road in Shape For the
Summer.
ONE OF Them INJURED
County Engineer Wilfong
Will Go After the Worst
Places First.

Work of filling up the worst mud
holes OH the dirt roads OF the county
was begun today and is well under
way with nearly so men employed At
various places in the county. Sixteen
prisoners from the county jail were
working yesterday and today on the
bad place on the ColfaX road near
Kingmont. The prisoners are working
under the supervision OF Officers Bam-
bridge and Harris, and seem glad to
be allowed to get out OF the jail each
day for a breath OF air and bit OF
sunshine.
The prisoners are taken out each
morning to the place where theS are
most needed and at evening return
to Jail.
One of the men. Andrew Kratchik,
was injured by the falling of large
stone which struck him on the ankle
rs he was at work. He was brought
back to Fairmont and his injury dress
ed BY County Physician l.. \. fost.
1t is thought that Andrew Will be
able to 20 back TO work again III a
few days.
County Engineer Wilfong hopes to
fix as many Of the worst places IN
the county as is possible BY draining
the water from the mudholes and fill:
ing them with dirt and stone. The rfv'
er roud to Ktngmont is in extremely
bad condition at this time and about
20 men with teams and road scrapers
are at work trying TO st II in shape
before the heavy traffic of summer be-
gins. Work is also being done OIL the
Riresville road and the Fairvicw road
in Paw Paw district.
All Of the dirt roads i'll the county
are at present still muddy and rough
SO that nothing but horses and light
wagons can pass over them. but If
the road machines can be used soon
enough before the mud has thoroughly
dried. the roads will be passahle until
the next heavy railfall.
1t is estimated by the good roads
workers that enough money has been
spent in repairing and patching up
dirt roads in the past 90 years TO pave
al the main thoroughfares in the
county with wide concrete or hard
surfaced mecadam pavement.

Great Change in Public At
titude Since Last
Year.
COOPERATE WILLINGLY
Clean Up Work Progressing
Rapidly in All Sections
of the City.

The first day OF the third annual
Cleanup Week IN Fafrmont resulted
in the entire section from the railroad
10 Fuirmont avenue on the South Side
being covered on horseback by the
Bayor and sanitary officer.
The Mayor reports that upon no oc'
casion did he meet with any trouble
and states that the people are with
him and quite willing to assist in max
irS Fairmont the cleanest city III the
state.
In tic section mentioned there ara
many day laborers foreigners. etc.
living near the railroad back of the
Caclories. Even this part of the city
showed great enthusiasm in helping
tne Siayor in the fight against disease
and dirt
The change in tile attitude OF the
people. according to the Mayor, Is re-
markable. Last year and the year pre-
vfous he had more or less difficulty
In convincing the residents of the city
that Clean.Up Week was thing of ne
cessity, and also had trouble With
many property owners who felt 1t Il
constitutional right to refuse TO re-
move debris from their property. But
this petty animosity had passed over
he says. and every place the Mayor
visited he found the people in accord
with the movement.
Tho south end Of. the South Side
will be looked~after today. scout
trip over that section few days
ago proved conclusively to the Mayor
that there would he no extra efforts
required to mako the residents real
ize the good which the movement will
do.
The Civic committee OF the wo'
mans club, which consists of Mrs,
B. l.. Butcher. Mrs. +. +. Nichols and
Mrs. Charles Powell is working as
diligently as the Mayor and has been
on the lookout for conditions which
may require the attention of the san
itary oricer. The town is simply cover
ed with observers and as soon as one
OF these undesirable conditions Is
found the telephone Is resorted to and
the whole thing laid before the po'
lice, who in turn look into the mat
ter.
The city street Ausher will be put

ing down dust and dirt as much as
possible. It will he used i'll the bust.

summer and the other sections about

Housecleaning Time
at the Court House

The pungcnt aromatic odor OF ere.
sol and other disinfectants fills the
court house today and the place smells
moro like norgue than usual. Spring
housoclcaning at the local institution
has begun and in addition to the win
dows being washed the janitors have
rubbed all the floors with some evil
smelling dope that Is supposed pre-.
serve and bcautify tho finish of the
wood.
The county officials that have to re.
main in the building a portion of their
time say that the smell will soon leave
but even so they are glad that spring
comes but once year.
The strong brceze that has blown all
day Is doing much to drive away the
unpleasant OdOr and it Is thought that
by Thursday or Friday the place will
be habltable.
