The semi-monthly meeting Of the di-
rectorS OF the Board of Trade. was held
at the private dining rooms OF the
Desch hotel yesterday at noon. with
practically all OF the directors. officers
and chairmcn OF committees present.
TWO OF IN" prominent citizens OF
Bridgeport. W. W. Scott and James
Morrow. were present to discuss the
matter of the proposed new water con-
trac: between their town and Martins
Ferry Both spoke Interestingly on the
fact that Bridgeport needs the water
supply which can be furnished by Mar
tins Ferry. and that Martins FERRY
needs the revenue TO be derived from
the sale OF water 10 Bridgeport. Mr.
Spence. Of the Board OF Trade gave
his trip TO Lima. o.. where he investi-
gated the water supply system. and the
costs OF supply as we'll as the selling
prices 81 water. He stated that all or
the members of the Board OF Trade are
agreed that Martins Ferry should con-
tinue 10 supply bridgeport with water
and that he was Of the opinion that
some agreement could be reached Yhere-
by a new contract could be negotiated
that would be satisfactory 10 both
towns. He suggested TO the visitors
tina; action consolidating the three
towns. bridgeport. Martins Ferry and
Rrookside would simplify the water
question for AL of the towns. as this
method would result IN all being sup
piled wiki water under the same condl-
lions.
Consolidation
Practically every member present as
vel as the visitors seemed impressed
with the soundness OF the suggestion.
which would create a city OF better than
10000 inhabitants. Owing 70 the Late
ness OF the hour. 1t was arranged TO
take up the question OF consolidation
and have i thoroughly discussed at the
mex, meeting of the directors. This
matter will be made the special matter
of business for tho next meeting 10 be
held on Monday June 6th. and It is like
Is that committees will be appointed in
The meantime from the Board OF Trade.
and the Representatives Of the other
towns concerned. to investigate the feas-
ibility OF the matter. and make report
1T a meeting to be hold later. Sentiment
in Erookside is reported in favor Of the
consolidation with Martins Ferry. but
that village will not consider consohda-
ton with Bridgeport alone.
