No doubt the B.. & O., like many
railroads today, Is facing a car
shortage due to the fact that the
cars are widespread on various for.

the L. & N. says. In many cases
foreign roads hold the cars, the

sound out sentiment regarding a
bond issue for a filtration plans.
The two directors stated that their
first request when the matter came
up for consideration was that a
mass meeting be held or that a
straw vote be taken In order to get
at public sentiment regarding the
question.
Directors Davis and Arnett said
that public opinion, for and against,
aired in an open mass meeting duly
called for the purpose, will more
truly express the real attitude OF
the people OF Fairmont toward u
band issue than representative del
egations from clubs that perhaps
do not reflect the opinion of the
average citizen OF the community.
Both of these directors declared
that they personally recognize the
great need of the city for a flltra-
ton plant and tnat personally they
are for 1t, have always been per-
sonally for It, and that II the PEG.
pie of Fairmont give sufficient
proof OF their desire to have an
election, they will gladly re.submlt
the issue and will both vote for the
issue and do all In their power to
put It across. What they desire,
and what they will have, however,
is the knowledge that the public
wants bond election held, before
they change their present attitude,
1t was indicated.
Both Davis and Aruett said that
they have approached man after
man IN the past week, irrespective
of party utilization, and have talked
with voters from all walks OF life,
and that the majority is greatly
against submitting a bond issue
to vote, prophesylng its failure, un,
der conditions prevailing at pres.
ent. Davis, as city treasurer, will
not put the city to the expense OF
an election unless he Is convinced
1t Is the plain will Of the people
and not simply an expression Of
clubs, he indicated in defending
his action.
The mass meeting held this eve.
