"Summers CoUnty Doesn't Have Much of Anything" Livestock Markets Honorable Charles Miller Road Commission of West Vir- ginia I am writing in regard to a letter published in the Hinton Daily News, Feb. 1, by Pat- ricia O'Bryan which I am en- closing. Now Mr. Miller, I don't live in Kanawha County, I live in Summers County, and I say the things this lady stated in her letter is every word a lie. I've lived at Hix 16 years, and have had family living at Elk Knob all of my life. I can never remember the road service being any better than it is, since Dean Lowry has been at the State Road garage. In fact when Mr. Lowry took over at the state road garage in Summers County, the roads up Taylors .Ridge, Hix, and Hinton Mount-. ain were so had you couldn't even pass a car, without side swiping your vehicle. Brush was growing over the road, and meeting each other. It has took !Dean Lowry all of the time he has been there to straighten ;things out. Last winter when my imother was sick, I don't know 'what we would have done if it ,b'. Fire dtroyed the residence of the Lewis Adkins family at 712 Summers Street early Saturday morning. The Hinton Fire Dep- artment was called at 5:19 a.m. and was advised by. the Hinton Police Department to go down Fourth Avenue and out Summers Street because of the exteremely hazardous road conditions. A sheet of ice cov- ered everything in the Summers. County area as a result of a storm that began Friday after- noon. When firemen arrived the second story of the frame dwell- ing was ablaze and the flames threatened houses on both sides of the Adkins residence. It took .firefighters nearly an hour to bring the flames under control, and they remained on the scene for a total of three hours. Policemen controlling traffic in the area summoned city street crews to cinder the streets and alleys in a four- block area'so the vehicles could be rerouted safely. As of Monday morning no cause for the fire had been determined. The dwelling belonged to H.F. Sweeny. Controversy Continues didn't meet fire regulations. Mr. McKinney clarified the sit- uation, saying that it had al- ready been approved to which Mr. Akers replied, "What if the Fire Department stopped get- ting their lunches?"

It took .firefighters nearly an hour to bring the flames under control, and they remained on the scene for a total of three hours. Policemen controlling traffic in the area summoned city street crews to cinder the streets and alleys in a four- block area'so the vehicles could be rerouted safely. As of Monday morning no cause for the fire had been determined. The dwelling belonged to H.F. Sweeny. Controversy Continues didn't meet fire regulations. Mr. McKinney clarified the sit- uation, saying that it had al- ready been approved to which Mr. Akers replied, "What if the Fire Department stopped get- ting their lunches?"

All said that the arguing goifig on was pointless and un- necessary and that the best solution was to appoint a com- mittee to study the matter. The committee would be responsible for obtaining the Fire Marshall, Health Inspector, and a con- tractor to evaluate the build- ing and prepare cost estimates so there would be something solid to go on. Most of the members agreed, which was ject of moving the center to the "Y".
