Walter Reed Hospital.

With a blood clot or tumor on his
brain, Sergeant Bob Martin, of Terra
Alta, heavyweight boxing champion
of the A. E. F. during the World
War, lies on a cot at Walter Reed
Hospital in Washington waiting for
a medical discharge from the army,
having reenlisted three years ago and
until his illness was stationed at an
army post in Georgia. There is moth
ing that can be done to relieve his con-
dition, according to surgeons in the
hospital.
Frequent dizzy spells now beset the
fighting sergeant who nine years ago
fought his way through the ranks of
the A. E. F. fighters and knocked out
Captain Gordon Coghill, of Australia,
in the final bout of the allied armies
tournament. His present plight bears
out reports of two years ago that ne
was unable to stay in the ring because
of dizziness.
He is a former resident of Preston
county, West Va, and son of Mr..
and Mrs. Chauncey Martin, of Terra
Alta, where the former champion
lived for many years. He is a brother
of Alvey R. Martin, furniture dealer,
of Oakland. Another brother, Vestus,
of Fairmont, w. Va, has been i'll in a
Baltimore hospital, but was discharg-
ed from the institution Tuesday and
came to Oakland.

TO OIL AND RESURFACE
CITY MACADAM STREETS
Town Council Reaches This De-
cisiOn at Meeting Monday.

That all the macadam streets of
Oakland will be oiled and resurfacei
became an assured fact at the month
ly meeting of the Mayor and Town
Council at the City Hall on Monday
evening, according to Mayor L. M.
Fraley.
Final arrangements have been made
between the town representatives and
the State Roads Commission to have
the streets resurfaced and oiled when
the Commission repairs the Gortner
I'd this spring. The decision to re-
.ir the town streets was the out
come of letter written to John n
Mackall, State Roads Commissioner,
by the local officials, when it was de-
termined that to have the Commits
sion do the work would be much more
economical than to have some private
contractor take it over.
Financial Statement Presented.
The annual financial statement for
the year 1921 was presented by CLERK
Ross and was passed by Council and
approved by kIayor Fraley as will be
seen by referring to another column
in today's Republican wherein the
statement is printed.
The passing of the monthly bills
and other routine business occupied
the remainder of the session on Mon
day night.
Monday evenings session was the
final meeting of the present Council
as the annual election for members
of the body will be held on Monday
next. The new Council will organize
on April 2.
