To The People
OF MartinSburg


Association heard the report of a committee
that had been appointed some time ago to
investigate electrical matters in connection
with the application Of the Northern Vir-
ginia Power Company for a franchise to
serve the people of MartinSburg with COM
petitiVe light and power.
While the report was, to great extent,
technical there was no member Of the com
mittee who is able TO verify technical re-
ports and in these matters, the committee
told the Association, it depended to large
extent upon Mr. O. 7. Collins, Local CON
tractor who has a Joint office with the Po-
tOnlac company which IS endeaVOring to
keep QUE competition. The same Mr.. Col
Inns whose letter in an advertisement of the
Potomac company, stated that he was OPP
posed to competition from the Northern
Virginia company because that company
would underbid him i'm wiring your house
and office
The Northern Virginia Power Company is
not asking for franchise to help the Potomac
company nor 70 help Mr. Collins charge YOU
more for your WorL--lc IS only asking for this
franchise - sell IS product IN IFS natural field
and to give the people Of MartinSburg the
great benefits that come rom competition in
rates and service in every line 81 business.
With reference to the report we wish - bring
one point T. your attention. Ghc only diff
CuItieS that the committee found from the
service standpoint we're based on thc use Of
one set Of wires between MlllWIIo and Martins

report, and submitted 1t to the governor
of Virginia; and after it went the
rounds Of the House of Burgesses and
the Council of Plantation Affairs, twas
submitted to the King, and he, on April
18th, 174J, approved and signed the
same, thereby confirming the boundaries
of the Northern Neck.
The King then ordered the governor
of Virginia to appoint a commission
(similar to the first one) to run out
mark the line from the source Of the
Rappahannock River to the source Of
the Potomac. The governor appointed
Joshua Fry, Lunsford LormaX and
Peter Hedgemsn to act on the part Of
the crown, and Lord Fairfax appointed
the same men who had acted for him in
exploring the Potomac. The surveyors
appointed by his commission, are not
named in the record, but we find in their
report where the same surveyors that
had acted on the Potomac, submitted
the plat and map of the whole estate.
This commission made its prepare
tons, and on the eighteenth of Sept
ember, 1746, commenced its journey.
On the seventeenth of October, in the
same year, the commission planted the
Fairfax Stone.
The commissioners made their report;
and after it had gone the rounds, it was
ratified by the King.
So, after over ten years time and
big sight of red tape, the Northern
Neck of Virginia was established.
For over seventy years, | have been
told that George Washington ran these
lines and planted the Fairfax Stone.
Now, it will be seen from these dates
that he was just four years old when
the Potomac was explored, and four
teen years old when the western line
was lun. So. you see, this story is like
many others we hear of Uncle George
such as the little Ratchet and cherry
tree incident, and many other things
told of him-all myth.
A few words about Lord Fairfax. In
the year 1745, he made a trip to this
country; and was so well pleased with
his estate that he returned to England
and arranged his business there. Then
in 1747, at the age of fifty-seven years,
he came IN VIRGINIA To make If his
home He lived awhile at Belvoir,
Fairfax County. He then moved to
Greeneway Court. Clarke County,
twelve miles from Winchester, where
he spent the remainder of his days He
died in 1881, in the ninety-second year
of his age. His remains were buried in
Winchester, Virginia, under the altar
in the old Episcopal church.

In helping others, also help ourselves. A
beautiful story is told of two brothers travelling in
Lapland, which illustrates this truth more than a
whole volume of aphorisms
1t was bitter, freezing day, and they were
travelling in sledge, wrapped in furs from head to
foot but notwithstanding this. they were almost
frozen in the fearful cold.
By the wayside they discovered poor traveller
benumbed and perishing in the snow.
Let us stop and help him." said one of the bro
theirs, we may save his life"
Yes and lose our own, '~replied the other.
Are we not ourselves freezing in the cold2 None
but fool would think OF stopping such day as
this l would not throw off my cloak of fur to save
a hundred travellers"
Il am freezing as we'll you." said his brother,
but cannot see this stranger perish, must go to
help him."
He was as good as his word. He went to the
freezing mans relief, The effort that he made
brought warmth to his own limbs, and he took the
traveller on his back and bore him to the sedge.
Brother he said, Look! 1 have saved this
strangers life-and also, verify believe, my
am quite warm from the effort have made"
But the other brother did not answer. He
