MUNICIPAL HOSPITALITY.

IT. HE definite announcement that the Hotel Fairmont
will be ready for the entertainment OF guests by
the middle Of next summer ought to give a fresh
start to the movement, once well begun. to secure con.
Yentions and other large gatherings for next year.
We have without a doubt the most attractive city In
Northern West Virginia, and there is no municipality in
the state with which we may not claim equality in that
particular. This in itself is an asset OF great value IL It
is used properly. And one of the best ways in which
to use 1t is to get people to come here for visits Of long
enough duration to enable them to acquire a knowledge
OF the charms Of Fairmont as a place in which to live.
In the past we have been ~hospitable enough and have
fttingly entertained people who have come to Fairmont
to hold meetings. But that is not enough. We should do
what other cities have done and make a systematic effort
to bring people here.

FEDERAL ROAD AID.

w JEST V1RGlNlASs share Of the $4,000, 900 which the
w Federal Government will distribute during the
present fiscal year among the states for road con-
struction is 3,270. In order to get this money the state
must spend an equal amount upon road construction that
the Secretary Of Agriculture approves. Doubtless State
Road Engineer Williams knows how this sum may best
be spent. Here's hoping that he will be able to make the
Legislature see it in the same light. Federal aid for road
construction under the present plan is we'll worth going
after. The terms imposed by Congress upon the states
are by no means onerous and the sums that will be dis.
bursed are large enough to make possible carrying out a
definite road scheme of some magnitude. Next year the
sum available will be s1o,ooo,0Oo and 1T will continue to
increase from year to year until it is s25, 100000 when
the present program will come to an end. 1t is safe to
assume, however, that II the scheme is a success the in.
terest Of the Federal government in the matter of better
roads will not end with the year 1920.
