LOCAL PLANTS MAY

1t All Depends Upon Construc-

The local power company has talk

ties the order promulgated relative
to the release of power In other
cities much apprehension was felt
because of the order. which praeti.

morning, unless the order was modi

Power plants were instructed that

As power in this section is pro.
duced by both hydro,electric sta
tons as we'll as coal on n fifty.
fifty basis-it yet remains to be seen
how the order will affect Martins
burg. Hydro electric plauts are ex
eepted from the provisions of the
order. Should the department. or
der a corresponding curtailment of
power here It will necessitate the
local mills closing down for an in
definite period.
II is a serious situation for the
Martinsburg employees and brings
home the strike of the miners with
disconcerting reality.

NON POLITICAL
CITY OFFICIALS

Several Martinsburg business
men were recently discussing the
marked failure OF past city officials
To accomplish any real results for
the city. The administration of
both political parties were censur-
ed equally and considerably. The
blame was placed, in great part, to
party politics and it developed
that there is strong undercurrent
In Martlnsburg fayoring a non-po-
litical city ticket ut the Spring cleo.
ton.
One gentleman. much interested
in politics but broad minded enough
to have the city's interests at
heart, strongly favored the selec-
ton of city ticket on real merit
and removing the election from po-
litical influence. He offered this
suggestion:
The Chamber Of Commerce * our
largest non.politieal, representative
organization. Let It take UP the
matter and find a way to accomplish
the result.
If the Chamber of Commerce
would undertake such action-and
it shouId-it will meet with the MP
prevail Of the people who want to
see progress, efficiency and results,
1t would be entirely practical to
invite the Democratic and Republi-
can city committees to meet with
It to consider the matter. 1t would
be possible, we believe, to secure
an agreement whereby one party
would select the candidates for
mayor and two councilmen and the
other party select the three other
councIlmen. The mayors appoint
ments could be made up in the
same manner as there would be no
political debts to pay
As there would be no party oppo-
sition to such ticket, men Of ex-
perience, eminently qualified TO run
the city along right lines. would be
willing to be placed on the ticket
men who would NOT enter a politi.
cal campaign.
