CITIZENS FEAR FIRE DANGER Trouble Attributed To Neglect In The Statement Issued By Burgess Garnett. Parkesburg, Sept. borough is again confronted by the serious problem of in its mains for several hours each day, and householders complain of no supplying until 10 o'clock in the In a statement from Burgess S. Golden Garnett the shortage is not attributed to an insufficient supply, as the flow is good and is considered adequate for all needs if properly conserved and distributed. The trouble is alleged to be due to neglect on the part of the Parkesburg Water Company.

The Burgess is actively engaged in fighting for the rights of the borough, and has taken the matter up with the borough solicitor, Mr. Windle, with the result that an injunction will be sought against the water company, to show cause why it should not provide the town with proper water service for general use and protection against fire. Parkesburg's water supply has constituted one of the vital problems of the borough for several years. During the influenza epidemic, two years ago, pitiful conditions existed here. ing their last hours the dying cried for water, and there was none to be had.

Feeling ran so high that the president of the Parkesburg Water Company, which is owned by a Millersburg corporation, was summoned before council. The matter was then taken before the Public Service Commission and for the interviewing period the service has been much improved. Sometime ago a leak in a reservoir caused a serious shortage. which was corrected. The conditions, however constitute a serious menace in case of fire it is alleged.

Council believes that the only satisfactory solution lies in municipal ownership, but at this time Parkesburg is not able to finance such a plan. Farmer Injured. M. Filmore Chalfant had a narrow escape from mortal injury in a serious runaway accident at his home at Lenover, Friday evening. Mr.
