merce has taken part in all good

eral meeting of representative men
and special good road committees
Of different organizations of the
county, was held August 10, 1921,
and approximately two hundred
were present. The purpose Of this
meeting was to have a better I'M
derstandingEof the plans and in
t%entions of the State Road Com
mission. This was explained in a
very thorough manner by w. S.
Downs, division engineer of the
northerntdiyision of West Virginia.
1t was at this meeting that the
Commission advised us that M of
the first roads to be constructed
and taken over would be the road
from the Pennsylvania state line
to CIarksburg. On three differen,
occasions, Fairmont Chamber of
Commerce sent representatives to
Charleston to take care of Fair
mont's road interests.
1.-THE question ofZuniform road
signs has been taken up repeated,
1y with the Commission and under
date Of February 16, the State
Road Commission advised us that
the commission will mark state
roads, and will submit to the coun-
ty courts a system for marking
county roads, consistent Herewith
as provided for in section &c Of this
Good Road Law. The commission
also expressed their appreciation
of the interest manifested by Fair
mont Chamber ofsCommerce in this
important matter. Our Chamber of

Freight Rate Adjustment
The freight rate adjustment as
submitted by the Baltimore 6 Ohio
Railroad is in the opinion Of your
committee. fair; and that the rails
road should proceed at once to
check rates in as proposed. It is
thoroughly understood that rates
to the Ohio River: via. Wheeling,
Parkersburg, Marietta and Pitts
burgh will be continued on the pres
ent basis temporarily, until trunk
line scale is worked out at which
time those rates will be checked
and placed on a proper basis.
1T is also recommended blythe
committee that where commodity
rates arc now in effect on a lower
basis that the B.. 60. proposal
will not mean an advance.
your organization is very much
indebted to George T. Watson,
president of the Fairmont Chamber
