HISTORY OF MARIETTA AND WASHINGTON COUNTY,
ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.
All through the early "nineties" the city was busy with municipal improvements. Start- ing with the installation of an electric street lighting plant of small capacity, which was placed in operation July 10, 1889, the service has been enlarged to include incandescent lighting of the city building and to furnish 200 arc lamps for street purposes. The plant now occupies a fine new building at the corner of Front and Butler streets, completed in 1901.
STREET PAVING AND SANITARY SEWERS.
The initial work toward the paving of the streets, begun in 1892, was the improvement of Greene, Front and Putnam streets, from what is now the Norwood Hotel to the Court House. The transformation of these thoroughfares was so great that the work was pushed rapidly forward until now the main arteries of travel are all smothly paved with vitrified brick, and many cross streets as well.
Simultaneously with street paving arose a demand for sanitary sewers and this improve- ment also is now practically complete, covering every part of the city.
ELECTRIC STREET RAILWAY.
The spirit of progress and improvement. which had taken hold of official Marietta, at once had its effect on private interests and ex- pansion became the watchword in almost every line of business. One of the first and most im- portant public utilities to be established by private capital was the electric street railway. superseding the old horse cars, which struggled feebly for a few years and then gave way to the handsomer, swifter moving, profit-paying cars propelled by electricity, the motive power of the age in street transportation. A com- pany of local capitalists, imbued with faith in the future of Marietta, and under the lead- ership of Nelson Moore, secured from the City Council in April, 1896, a franchise for the use and occupation of the streets for an elec-
tric railway. The construction and equipment of the plant was undertaken without delay and. contrary to the predictions of many, the com- pany was a paying institution from the start. Extensions of the road have been continuously made until now it reaches every portion of the city and gives an excellent service. Early in 1902 a consolidation was effected with a com- pany owning and operating the electric line at Parkersburg, and the new inter-urban line connecting Parkersburg and Marietta, and an organization was accomplished under the name of the Parkersburg, Marietta & Inter-Urban Railway Company. This consolidation results in giving to the two cities local transportation facilities of great convenience and commer- cial value.
TELEPHONE COMPANIES.
The Bell Telephone, which was introduced into Marietta in 1886, now occupies its own fine brick building on Putnam street, with prac- tically all its wires in the more thickly settled parts of the city under ground. Its subscribers are supplied with fine long-distance instru- ments and the best service of which the com- pany is capable. In 1900 the Marietta Tele- phone Company was organized and it also has an excellent underground service, with long distance connections throughout the county and State.
RAILROADS.
In railroad facilities Marietta has not been as fortunate as many of her neighboring cities, being denied the advantages of location upon trunk lines, but her commercial importance has gradually compelled recognition from railroad corporations until now she has four lines running directly into the city, with an- other passing on the opposite side of the Ohio River.
In 1880 the Marietta & Cincinnati and the Cleveland & Marietta were the only lines en- tering the city. Subsequently the Zanesville & Ohio River road was built through the Mus- kingum Valley, and made its entrance into
541
AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS.
Marietta July 1, 1888. This road follows the west bank of the river for the entire distance of 75 miles from Marietta to Zanesville. It was built largely by the efforts of the people along the beautiful valley, who had tired of the slow- going steamboats for passenger transportation, and who assisted the promoters with large sub- scriptions of money and rights of way.
As an independent line the road had nu- merous vicissitudes, and was finally merged into the Ohio & Little Kanawha. Its troubles ended in 1902, however, when it was purchased outright by the Baltimore & Ohio and made a part of the Newark Division.
In 1884 the Toledo & Ohio Central Exten- sion road was conceived by local capitalists and carried to a conclusion so successful that it is now looked upon as perhaps the most valua- ble local line entering the city, operating 53 miles of track. It connects with the Toledo & Ohio Central at Palos and offers excellent con- nections north and west. It is now named the Marietta, Columbus & Cleveland and is under the most able management in its history.
Although no part of it is in Ohio, the completion of the Ohio River road from Wheeling to Kenova was of great value to Marietta, the road passing through Williams- town, a thriving village on the West Virginia side of the river, opposite this city.
In the railroad history of Marietta there is no more important undertaking than the movement for a union station, which was con- ceived by T. D. Dale, a local railroad man, in 1889, and by him pushed through to a suc- cessful termination, with the aid of outside capitalists. Up to the year mentioned the city was practically without depot accommodations, each road running into a little platform and frame building of its own, and the entire lack of conveniences for the traveling public was a familiar source of jest. Through the patient efforts of Mr. Dale, however, the Marietta Railway Company was organized and gave to the city the handsome union station which is a source of pride to the citizens, and the erec- tion of which resulted in filling a large area of low and valueless land and greatly improv-
ing the business section. More and more of this low ground, which originally was under water during every slight freshet, is being filled by the railroads as they need it for ex- tending their yards, and eventually it will all be brought to the general level of the main streets.
NATURAL GAS.
Since 1893 Marietta has been a "natural gas town," having been generously supplied with this valuable fluid for both fuel and lights. The River Gas Company's mains cover the entire city like a network and the use of gas is practically universal. This fact has added much to the desirability of the city for manu- facturing and also renders it a cleaner and more healthful residence locality.
INCREASED ACTIVITY IN THE OIL INDUSTRY.
The period from 1890 to 1895-the first half of the closing decade of the 19th century- was not marked by the unprecedented growth that came later, but was almost exclusively de- voted to general public improvements which attracted outside capital and gave to the people a spirit of enterprise that made certain the newer and greater Marietta of today. About the years 1805 and 1806 the oil 'business, which had been almost at a standstill, sudden- ly developed tremendous activity, chiefly due to a rising market, and brought about an un- paralleled era of "good times" in every line of trade and manufacture. Captial flowed in for the purpose of drilling the rich territory on every hand and farms that had hitherto been considered almost worthless speedily enriched the operators and farmers alike. This city, as the headquarters of the Buckeye and Eureka Pipe Line companies, the Joseph Seep Pur- chasing Agency, and kindred branches of the Standard Oil Company, became the real center of the development known as "The South- west." and enjoyed a season of prosperity that at last placed it in the very front rank of com- mercial and industrial affairs. The develop- ment of the oil fields brought directly the nec-

essary large depots of supplies for the work, the manufactories of drilling tools, engines, boilers and glycerine for liberating the greasy fluid from its stone-locked prison in the bowels of the earth, and the thousands of men ci- gaged in the business found in Marietta an ideal spot in which to live and educate their children. Other influences were also at work; in the growth of the city, but to the oil deve !- opment more than any other is undoubtedly due her continued prosperity at a time when other towns felt general depression in business affairs.
BUILDING OPERATIONS ENLIVENED.
Handsome residences sprang up like magic at the rate of three hundred or four hundred a year ; costly and elegant business blocks and office buildings replaced the most old-fashioned frame structures that for years had been land- marks along the business streets ; elegant new school houses arose as monuments to the spirit of progress and rapid increase of population. The prices of real estate advanced steadily. pride grew in the hearts of the people, and all at once, as it seemed, every avenue of trade and traffic becan e alive with the hustle and bustle of modern business life.
:
GROWTHI IN THE CITY'S BUSINESS.
To the solid old manufacturing establish- ments and business houses, every one of which had felt the impetus of the new conditions and expanded with the city, were added many oth- ers to swell the volume of business, supply work for the laboring man and trade for the merchant. Iron and glass industries were added to the diversity of lines of wood-working which had long been profitably followed and the manufacturing interests soon became pre- dominant. The financial institutions, the banks and building associations, grew at a phie- nomenal rate and in a few years the century- old town, once known principally because of its historie associations and its splendid col- lege, was heralded far and wide as one of the
most important business centers in the Middle West.
SUBURBS.
The rapid influx of new people caused a congestion of population to such an extent that additional room became necessary, and numer- ous beautiful suburban tracts were laid out into lots and homes erected upon them. Most prom- inent among these are Norwood, Fairview Heights, and the Rathbone Addition. The suburb of Norwood lies to the east of the city and already has more than 1,000 inhabi- tants, all occupying new and handsome resi- dences, where in 1896 were only pasture fields and farm lands. Here is located the new plant of the Marietta street railway, which was com- pelled by its growth to remove from; its origin- al quarters on Second street. Numerous new industries are located in Norwood, which is destined to become one of the principal sec- tions of the city.
Fairview Heights is located on the plain at the top of the high hill which rises abruptly from the west bank of the Muskingum River, and contains many elegant and costly homes. The scenic outlook from the brow of the hill, showing the beauties of the Ohio and Muskin- gum valleys, is one of the most magnificent in Ohio, and has been a powerful factor in the rapid development of Fairview Heights. Fine new public school buildings are already under way in both Norwood and Fairview Heights.
On the easterly side of the Muskingum, just above the city, are being built many fine houses for the occupancy of professional and business men and the locality, known as the Rathbone Addition, is one of the most delight- ful residence spots in the valley.
NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
In 1898 the Marietta Board of Trade, an organization which has had much to do with the progress of the city since its inception in 1887, decided to institute a movement for the erection of a new Court House, the old struc- ture having outlived its usefulness, and being

in constant danger. with its valuable records. of destruction by fire. A campaign of educa- tion was undertaken and after a vigorous and enthusiastic canvass the proposition carried by popular vote. The contract for the new building was let in August, 1900, and it was completed in 1902. This Court House is said to be one of the handsomest in Ohio, and its fourth story contains a modern sanitary jail, doing away with a separate building for keep- ing prisoners.
Other notable public buildings erected dur- ing this period were the High School building and Marion school, built in 1900-1901. In 1901 the old bridge across the Muskingum River at the foot of Putnam street was re- placed with a fine steel structure, provided with street railway tracks.
A significant feature of the general pros- perity since 1896 has been the interest in re- ligious affairs. Many fine new church edi- fices have been erected and others are pro- vided for and will be built in the near future.
BRIDGE ACROSS TIIE OINIO.
In 1901 the City Council granted a fran- chise for the erection of a bridge across the Ohio River, and at this date the substructure is completed and the contract for the super- structure let. The promoters of the enterprise comprise the Ohio River Bridge and Ferry Company. Upon the completion of the struc- ture, which will be noted for having the longest channel span of any truss bridge over the Ohio-650 feet-the electric lines will connect Marietta and Parkersburg under one manage- ment.
NEW PROJECTS.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE OHIO.
The stupendous scheme of improving the Ohio River from Pittsburg to Cairo, by a system of locks and movable dams, upon which the United States government is now engaged, will be of great advantage to Marietta. The location of Dam No. 18 about seven miles be- low the city, will give a splendid harbor, with navigable water in the Ohio at all seasons of the year. The appropriation has been made for this dam and the preliminary work done and it will be one of the first to be completed. With the Muskingum River, already improved under government control as far north as Zanesville, and the probability of a still further extension of this beautiful and useful water- way, the improvement of the Ohio will assure to the city for all time to come a perfect sys- tem of river transportation and a safe defense against railroad discrimination.
