 Pledges Support
 To Mayor AtWater

William Clifford. 1eader ,n the First district, said today: I nm among ! those who want to support Mayor At water in his hard task of cutting down the cost of running Bridgeport. My position is just what it has been during ten years. I stood out during all this period for sound methods of carrying on city business. although I had repeated opportunity to join with the administration in power, and might have exchanged my opinions
 F'Mayor Atwater is confronted with a great mass of detail, all relating to things that have been done. Much of the expense which has been laid upon thee ity cannot be pared away. The most sincere attempts to decrease taxation will be defeated in points
 "I believe that Mayor Atwater has made first class appointments. One of the most important posts in the city is that of director of public works. George M. Coughlin, who fills the post, is certainly well qualified, not only to give an efficient admins tration of the duties, but to cut corners and save money for the peo- pie.
 Mayor Atwater ought at this time to have the undivided support of all citizens, regardless of party. He needs every bit of help he can get, if he is to do all that the voters expect him to dO.''

ACCIDENTS TO TIRES REDUCED.
 Accidents to automobile tires have been reduced to minimum in recent years. This is due to two causes, inn provement in tire construction and better roads. In an investigation cov- ering 5000 tires, conducted by one of its large consumers, says the United States Tire Company, the cost of tire repairs was found to average. slightly under one per cent. of the cost of the tires.

ing the needs of the city as loyal citizens but they have
another object in building this theatre and that is to

increases.
With this idea in view they are planning for the flu
ture in making this building large enough for future as
we'll as present needs. They propose 10 give Fairmont,
without doubt, the finest and best equipped theater in
West Virginia and they are embodying the experience of
an architect who has built over fifty theatres in their
