FCRT NECESSITY, ON ROUTE
40, IS TOBE RECONSTRUCTED
Restored Historic Structure To
Stand AS A Memorial to Gen.
George Washington

Reconstruction of Fort Necessity,
near Uniontown, Pa, and AT miles
northwest of Oakland on Route 40,
the scene of General Washington's
only capitulation, will be one of the
features of the George Washington
Bieentennial Celebration, by the State
of Pennsylvania in 1882, according to
the United States George Washington
Bicentennial Commission.
A total of $4,000 has been appro.
priated for the rebuilding of the fort
and making it a national memorial.
The British Government has expressed
great interest in the project and is ,ex-
pected to send an official delegation
to the exercises dedicating the memoir
ial. Officers of the famous Coldstream
Guards, of which Braddock was once
commander, attended the dedication
of the Braddock monument near the
site of Fort Necessity some years ago.
1t was the capture of Fort Neces-
sity by the French on July 8, 1854,
which brought on the seven years.
war, our French and Indian War,
fought here and in Europe, and which
finally resulted in English domination.
Washington was only % years old
when he commanded this expedition
against the French On March Is,
1854, he had been commissioned lieu
tenant-colonel of the Virginia regi-
ment whose colonel, Joshua Fry, was
ordered to march to the fort of the
Ohio Company situated where the
Monongahela and Allegheny unite to
from the Ohio River.
Washington began his advance thru
the wilderness and at Great Meadows
fortified a position which he named
Fort Necessity. Presently he learned
that the French were advancing
against him. He did not wait for the
attack. Instead, he "set out in heavy
rain, and, in a night as dark as PITCH"
attacked a party of French and In
dams, killed ten, including the French
commander, Jumonville, and captured
21 prisoners.
He continued his advance until he
feared that large force was moving
against him. He returned to Great
Meadows and resumed work at Fort
Necessity. Meanwhile Colonel Fry
died at Willis Creek, and thus Wash.

regiment. The enemy appeared be.

Bloomington Getting Water
CHEAP

The city of Piedmont is furnishing
water to the people of Bloomington
for less than cost, it is said, and has
served notice on the Bloomington Wa
ter Works Co. that an increase in the
charges will be necessary, it was
brought out at meeting of the Pied
mont City Council Wednesday of last
week.
At the present time Piedmont is
supplying water to the Bloomington
Water Co. at rates established years
ago. The revenue received by the
Piedmont city government from the
Bloomington people now amounts to
from $58 to $61 per quarter. This is
sixty per cent of the amount collected
by the Bloomington Water Works Co.,
the forty per cent retained by the lat
ter company to cover billing and col.
Letting the water rent and other Incl
dental expenses.
The city officials have determined
that 10 cents per 1000 gallons would
be a fair charge to the Bloomington
Water Co. for water, and recent meter
tests show that Bloomington at this
rate consumes each month about $45
worth of water.
At the meeting of the Piedmont
council delegation from Blooming
ton appeared to discuss the matter Of
rates. In the; delegation were Carroll
Pattison, Grant Hershberger and j.
H. Miller. Mayor Campbell of Pied
mont, told the delegation that the
city of Piedmont did not want to work
a hardship upon the citizens of Bloom
ington but wanted to cooperate with
them and to serve them in so far as
possible.
Mr.. Pattison stated that the Bloom
ington Water Co. is at the mercy of
the city of Piedmont as they have no
written agreement.
Mr.. Hershberger asked for another
month in which to consider ways and
means to meet the conditions, which
was granted by the council.
