TO RECORD WILL OF CHARLES
WASHINGTON.

The County Court of jefferson
county has entered an order to have
copy of the will of Charles Wash
ington, brother of George Washing
ton, first President of the United
States, recorded in the county clerk
office of jefferson County. Jeffer-
son county was taken from Berkeley
county, more than 100 years ago by
an act of the Virginia legislature.
and at the time of Mr. Washington
death he was citizen of Berkeley
county, then in Virginia.
The local chapter of the ID. A. X.
was instrumental in the move to have
Mr.. Washington's will recorded in
Jefferson county. He is buried at
his old home "Mordingtonn which is
in the suburbs of Charles Town.
Mr.. Washington gave the four cor
ners on Washington and George
streets, where the Y. S. postoffiee,
the court house. the Charles Wash
ington Hall, and the Farmers and
Merchants bank now stand.
An order was also entered by the
court giving authority to the local
chapter of d. A. r. to erect bronze
tablet, to be placed on the front of
the court house in memory of Mr..
Washington.

WEST VIRGINfA'S APRIL FIRE
LOSS.

Charleston, May 19.-Thirty-
counties shared in West Virginia's
April fire loss of $523,700, loss
greater by $43,878, or nine per
cent, than in the corresponding
month of 1924, it is shown by a re-
port of the State Fire Marshal de-
partment.
Seven counties are charged with
70 per cent of the April fire waste.
Ohio county led this group with a
loss of $98,021, and, following in
order, were Mingo, Fayette, Kama
wha, Taylor, Cabell and Raleigh
counties.
For the 10 months of the fiscal
year ending April 30, the loss in
West Virginia from 827 fires was
S5,514,726, an increase of $1,I67,-
ST., or 81 per cent, over this period
the year before. For the IL months
ending same date the loss from 933
fires was $6,529 PAP, an increase of
$7SS,731, or Ia per cent, over the
same twelvemonth preceding.
Sound value of property attacked
by the fire demon in April was
$1,214,321 and the insurance $685.
381. The fire list for the month in
CluQtu ~ QWciliH&S, Il DdIHS,
stores, garages, manufactures,
sheds, 2 hotels, 2 club and lodge
rooms, 2 warehouses, 2 shops, school
house and office.
Fifty-two of the April fires were
of unknown origin, five are attribut-
ed to incendiarism and suspicion at
taches to three others. Defective
flues caused II of the fires, electric
wires six more, while five were due
each to lightning, sparks from Chin
neys and ignition of woodwork from
stoves. Burning rubbish was respons-
ible for four fires and spontaneous
for two. The ever pres
ent smokers carelessness" caused
one fire and the "child with match
es" another. Seven of the fires
caught from adjoining premises.
Seven deaths and three ac-
cidents from fire were re-
ported during the month, the fatali-
ties occurring singly in Cabell. Har-
rison,A Kanawha, Mingo, Mason.
Monongalia and Ohio counties. The
State Fire Marshal department made
Al inspections in April, investigated
three suspicious fires-in Jefferson,
Richie, and Wood counties; secur-
ed six indictments for arson-three |
in Kanawha and three in Jefferson.

HOTEL COMPANY TO MAKE
IMPROVEMENTS.

The directors of the Charles Town
Hotel Co. were in conference the
past week with a prominent hotel
man and may probably make con-
tract this week or next. They will
also probably enter into a contract
with a local firm for extensive inn
provements to the interior of the
building, which will include small
addition in the rear. The proposed
plans, if carried out, will make the
hotel one of the best and most COM
plete small hotels in the Valley of Vir-
GINA. The board of directors does
not anticipate they will be open I'M
til after September 18th, owing to
the fact that the contractor requires
four months to do the work.
Preparations will also be made to
take care of the sewerage with a
private plant, owing to the fact that
voters of the town rejected the prop
osition to put in sewerage system
for the town at the election held in
March.

AN OPEN LETTER
Lashon News Record:

Vashon News-Record:
Would he pleased to use your
columns to answer the many in
quiries | receive every week from
passengers asking me how much
longer we can operate the Str,
Virginia V on the West Coast
Pass.
With the clamor for increased
Ferry service from every section
on the island we are sometimes
inclined to think that the West
Pass service is not wanted, or al
most forgotten the same way as
The MacDowell Steamship Co. was
when the Ferry boat began opera
ton. The only answer we can
give to the boat problem is entire
ly up to the people and the sup
port they give it will be the ans
wer to the continued service.Tbe
local stores at Cove and Vashon
have been loyal in that respect.
Yours Truly,
West Pass Transportation ca.
Per, N. G. Christensen, MGR
