WILL COST $4,000
TO CLEAN RESERVOIR
Work Will be Started Soon
If New Rates are APP
proved.

Work on repairing the reservoir
doubtless will begin the last of this
month provided the Public Service
Commission approves the new rates
which will give the city sufficient
money to pay for the repairing. 1t is
estimated that the repairing will cost
somewhere around $4,000 though a
lower and again perhaps a slightly
higher figure may be necessary Tie
work will be done by the city unuer
City Engineer Shrewsbury Miller
whcih will lessen the cost. Could Fair
mont visit the reservoir in its pictur-
esque location and watch for an hour
or so the slow seeping out from the
hillside OF the water which is precious
to this city. they would be Convinced
OF the necessity for intelligent repair
work at once. The new administers
ton is very naxious to do what is best
for Fairmont and has planned num-
be rof improvements with the biggest
and first repair work, that on the res
ervoir.
Last summer the old administration
started a trench about the hill on
which is located the reservoir for the
purpose of catching all mud and waste
which it is expected will pour down
when the flush gate in the reservoir
is opened The trench will prevent
this mud emptying on the farms all
about Log Cabin Hill, the reservoir
location. This trench will be further
reinforced at once and the city lead
lines will be changed so that the filter
bed. which never has worked very
we'll, will be requisitioned to hold the
citys water supply.
1t has been II years since the reser-
voir was drained and it is expected
that an accumulation of several feet OF
mud will lie at the bottom and this
will be cleaned out with hose, 1t all
passing out through the flushgate.
When the bottom of the reservoir, Is
reached no one knows exactly what
damage will be found though rumc> >
are to the effect that the stone bottom
upon which the reservoir is laid will
be filled with cracks through which
the water is escaping When the nat
ural stone bottom was first walled into
a reservoir, wit hstone side walls, ce'
mented in place, 1t was felt the bottom
wasn't deep enough and some blasting
was done which is thought may be re-
sponsible for the cracking. Whether
it will be necessary 70 repair with ce.
ment these small breaks or whether
cracks extending clear across the bot

of course not known nor will be until

cost as low as $4,000 while again II

!tions, depending on what must be done
With cement kerry expensive and other
materials likewise the exact figure is
difficult to estimate. 1t might be nee
essary to replace the entire bottom
OF the reservoir in' which event the
cost would be still greater.

SUFFRAGE LOSES|N
MISSISSIPPI HOUSE
Pleas of Democratic Lead.
ers Fell On Deaf Ears
Yesterday.

JACKSON, Miss, April with
only one state lacking to make the ma;
tional suffrage amendment effective,
the Mississippi house of representa-.
tives declined yesterday, more tnan
four to one, to reverse its previous ac-
ton and join the senate in adopting a
ratification resolution. The action was
final. Under the rules the question
can not be Eeopened ut this session.
which ends, Saturday.
Voting on motion to disagree with
the senate's resolution approving the
amendment, the house Overwhelming
1y refuseS to sanction the. Gpgtanchise-
ment of women although a BIZ a1l1ady
has teen enacted making provisions
for wpmen to vote II theN amendment
becordtL effective
The vote on disagreement was "a to
20, as compared with previous I'D
verse vote in the mouse OF 10s to 70.
! There was no doubt from the first
that the house would express decisive
ly its opposition to woman suffrage de-
spite the appeals of Democratic: lead
ers OF nationa; prominence thtt a
Democratic and not Republican state
should be the one te make the amend
ment effective. Hoots, cat,calls and
ieers drowned the words of speakers
favoring ratification while cheers
greeted those opposing. The members
yelled for nearly minute when r. ii.
Watts, of Pisgah, arose and shouted,
'I would rather die and go to hades
than vote for woman suffrage"
When Speaker Conner announced
he would instruct the clerk to read
kilograms from national Democratic
leaders urging ratification, there was
a thunder OF objections and put to a
vote, 1t was decided almost unani-
mously not to listen to the, message.

POINT is ARGUED
Suit Over Fifteen Telegraph
Poles on Trial in
Court. ..

An interesting. question at law was
raised in the Circuit court this after
noon when Attorney A. j. Colburn
appeared for the Monongahela Valley
Traction company and entered plea
to have the court quash the case
against his client brought up from
the court of Justice A. G.. Bunner.
Attorney Colburn stated that the case
was originally tried before Justice
Bunner in 1919, when the justice had
no jurisdiction, having been appoint
ed to the office in 1916 to serve until
the election Of 1918. At that cleo
tion, he said, there was no one chosen
for the office, which he caliemd
would make the action of the justice
in deciding for the plaintiff illegal.
Attorney FIank Raymond, for Guy
l.. Carter, quoted section 2 of the
code to show that the law provides
for such an incumbent to hold over
until the appointment or election of a
successor, and moved the court to
deny the, plea. Judge Raymond sus-
tanned the motion.
The suit was brought by Guy L..
Carter to recover the sum of $500 for
fifteen telegraph poles furnished to
the traction company in 1918, and
which, it is claimed, they refused to
accept
After an argument by Attorneys
Trevey Nutter and Harry Shaw, the

Wright against the Fleming Creme

a jury at half-past one this afternoon.

COSTLY FIRE AT
Mt. LAKE PARK
None of the Cottages De-
stroyed Was Owned by
Fairmont People.


Members of the Fairmont colony
who yearly spend weeks and months
at Mt. Lake, Nd, were much alarmed
yesterday when it became known here
that a section OF that resort was afire
and that difficulty was being expert
enced in getting the fire under con-
troll On the five o'clock train last
evening several of the frequenters
from this city Of that resort left for
the Park but arrived there 10 late to
render any assistance Those whU
went to the park were Attorney and
Mrs. e. g. Frame and son James, Mrs.
Margaret Berghaus, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Morgan, Mrs. R. L. Cunning
Fam, Fred Fleming, James Deveny,
o. J. Fleming and John o. Morgan
left for the park in an automobile
earlier in the day.
No property owned locally was
burned though the cottage which was
owned by the late Mrs. Rose Fleming
was on fire several times and was
with difficulty saved from burning.
The fire was the result of careless
ness on the part OF several laborers
who were raking and burning dry
leaves about the Assembly house. High
wind famed the flames and set fire
to the Assembly house which was to-
tally destroyed as well as several cot
tages in close proximity and the VIII
liam Bailey cottage some distance
away which was fired from flying
embers. Among the valuable pieces
Of property damaged was that Of R.
g. Richardson of Piedmont. Other
properties were damaged to some, ex-
tent but not destroyed.
