City urges dam project and board of trade for Clarksborg
Months ago a movement sought funds to build a dam below Elk creek but winter halted progress. Summer returns and the Telegram calls for accounting of subscriptions and a business plan to finish the effort. The piece also argues for a Clarksborg board of trade to assist municipal issues and convention hosting, plus grand jury focus on river pollution and dam protection. It notes Buckhannon Wesleyan University’s ongoing program, praises its growth, and criticizes the county courthouse interior as needing cosmetic upgrades to aid public business.
