SUSPENSION BRIDGE IS BEING ERECTED AT GLASS FACTORY
The Doddridge County Glass company is erecting a bridge across Middle Island Creek from the factory over to the pike, so that the employees may go to and from their work without having to cross the railroad bridge. The most of the timber is on the ground and part of the heavy timbers have been put in place.

MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF BOARD WALK JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN ON BLOCK HOUSE HILL
During the last few muddy days, many complaints have been heard from people living up the pike beyond Block House Hill, of the bad condition of the board walks, or lack of board walks just outside the corporation limits on Block House hill. There is a space for about 100 feet, where the boards are few and far between.
It has been stated that as soon as the Doddridge Window Glass company's bridge is completed, the glass company will see that the board walk is repaired. There are a number of school children who have to come in over this place every day, and last week for several days the mud was almost impassable.
Local news item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, Jan 6 1916, in its entirety:
"J. P. Davisson has just completed a big foot bridge for the Doddridge Window Glass factory, that is quite a convenience to many of the employees, rendering it possible for them to reach town without crossing the railroad bridges as heretofore."

Local news item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, July 20 1916, in its entirety:
"Contractor James P. Davisson is getting along very nicely with the big J. B. Dotson business house joining the Doddridge County Bank. The excavation is completed and the brick work of the basement is nearing completion."
Local news item, "West Union Herald," Thursday, Aug 17 1916, in its entirety:
"The J. B. Dotson brick building is being put in shape for the brick work for the second story. The studding of the main floor is laid and covered with the rough floor and steam engine and elevator installed to hoist the material. The lumber for the frames, etc., is on the ground and several car loads of brick are on hand ready to be laid. The brick for the front of the building is a handsome yellow brick. This building will no doubt be one of the nicest in our city when completed."
