N recent week, Faimont people have been doing a lot
Of thinking about Coal run rayine. They think about

thinking. for they haze been told by experts in such rnasts
that the rayne potential to the city Of great posi-

municipal eye sore.
And during the past ten days or 50 while Fairmont men
and women have looking at the ravne with new in

Something might be said about the quality Of the citizen
ship of man who for the sake Of little rent will permit
property to be used in this way but the party to this trans
action most worthy Of attention is the company interested
in outdoor advertising which the prime mover in this
outrage against good taste The public has not yet been
permitted 10 know who that company is and The West
Vrgnian does not know anything more about it than the
public does In due time the ownership and The respon-

these outdoor advertising people who thrust their
hdeous signs under the eyes of the public and scar up
of the beautiful views this state Of noble scenery
boast think they are of reach Of public wrath as
long they lease the land upon which their monsrosites
stand The saloon keepers Of the nation thought they were
playing safe too but they found out eventually that the
people rule in this country when heyreally wantto The
people Of West Virginia tax signboards off their hill
