Ridgeley, W Va May 7
Agitation for the incorporation of the town of Ridgeley was a subject talk this morning, on account of the miserable streets that had to be traversed. "Ridgeley is the tail end of Mineral County," remarked one exasperated resident as he ploughed his way through the mud. What many of the resident desire is to have Ridgeley become a part of Cumberland. This is a topic that has been discussed pro and con for some time, but the employment of so many Cumberland men in the village just across the river has made it one of more than paramount interest. The annexation of a portion of another State appears to be an impossibility, but those in favor of it are plugging away in the hope that it can be brought about. Living within a stone's throw of the city of Cumberland, many of the residents declare that it is an absurdity to have such horrible streets, no water supply, and no government. The fact that water could be easily extended to Ridgeley, police protection afforded and the many benefits of a municipality enjoyed with but little cost is one of the arguments for the annexation, but how it is to be brought about is a question that does not seem to have been figured out.
