A slight decrease in production was
noticed ait the mines in the region
yesterday.! due to the beginning of

carious to know how. much coal (in

acompasled their first car to the
scales to see it weighed.
While it is believed that pactically
all of the mines have their scales or

There are a total of 3.475 cars in j

The White Sulphur Meeting.
The first of a series of meetings
planned for the various bituminous
coal fields wnth a view of increasing
production was held at WhTie Sulphur

managers and .general superintendents
attended as well as prominent
railroad men and important heads of
departments of the Fuel administration.

President Wilson addressed a letter
of regret that he could no attend

in such a gathering at White Sulphur

High Cost of Production
Warrants the
f
I FetiJag that the high cost,-of ju
production -warrants a reasonable increase
in industrial' and domestic
( rates, the directors of the Fairmont
Chamber of Commerce -went on record
f this, afternoon as believing the inj
creases proposed were fair. The new
I gas rate for Fairmont is 25 cents per
| 1000 cubic feet for industries and 27
cents for domestic u;e, the
two cents being made on the domestic
consumers because they hare the
preference of its use when the supply
! is short.
| James 0 Js Watson addressed the
j board this afternoon and told them
two additional plants were coming to
Fairmont. They win both manufacture-for
government orders, and this
afternoon a committee was here and
was favorably impressed with conditions.
Both really-came on their own
volition because of the volume of
power that this-city win soon have
after the completion of the Rivesviile
plant.
Mr. Watson's remarks dealt with
the-natural gas .situation in detail, and
he Statsd that- formal notices were
being sent -cut today announcing the
increase in natural gas rates for industrial
uses which was approved
this - morning by the Public Service
Commission at -Charleston.
Mr. Watsor told how in one year
the Moncngahela Valley Traction
Company-received $48.00 in gas receipts.
bat expended $150,000 over the
same period of time to develop the j
field. Extensive operations are now:
K?ine made in the Logan sport district
to take care of Fairmont's gas needs.
This is at a cost of $58,000. He stated
that the Lymn gas production plant
was expected to be completed at a
cost of $600,000 by November 1, and
this would assist in a degree in taking
.care of industrial consumption.
Recently the manufacturers of the
city agreed to the raise in rates.
