T h e gasoline engine is so reliable, so siihple, so safe, and so economical to operate that you can not afford to over* look i t Of all the gasoline engines on th e market, the I.

In an exhaustive tvpcrt to tho city coumll thu huard of public w-mfee cf Belftfontaiuc, it., iiKommeudeil the celUca of the municipal gas plant on the following grounds: to jmfl decs nut furnish auy public florvlce, "Xha mains „iu tho principal streets are very old end will require iu the future expensive repairs. "The plant is in an good condition to­ day as it is possible to put the present system, and to change the system will require another head issue. "The average price received from tho sale of gas is very little if any lower than a private corporation would give to our people, but is as low ns tiny gov­ erning board the people may elect can make and keep the plant In its present condition and meet all" the require­ ments and pay bonds and interest, as has been the policy of tbe present management. "Four years ago it was necessary to Issue $13,000 of bonds to build a new holder and install coal gas bench and necessary machinery, and another is­ sue of bonds to the extent of 513,000 to pay overdrafts in the banks, and $5,000 more to put new mains In San­ dusky street before It was payed, These bond issues should have been unnecessary if the plant had been op­ erated with n view of self support, but gas was being furnished part of our citizens for innrli less ,than cost, tihd the remaining citizens, even if they did not use gas, were compelled to stand a bond Issue for which each tax­ payer became equally responsible to get the .plant on its feet. And, as his­ tory repeats Itself, you wilt find a re­ quest in-the future, as in .the-past, tor bonds to keep the plant In condition if the price of gas is lowered, and we wish to say hr this connection that with the elecltorfov'nicmbers Tjf this board almost a year In advance there are candidates who nre grooming themselves today with a view of catch­ ing popular favor and'riding into office on the promise of cheaper gnu, and If elected on that issue and tiifelf prom­ ises and pledges are'carried out you may expect a request tor a bond' issue, and when we realize that wd are now bonded to out legal limit, how wifi the money be furnished? And if he plant Is permitted to' get In the condition It was in four years ago, what would it bo worth if compelled to Sell It? • “Is it right or just to tax those peo­ ple who do not use gas to keep up this plant, cither by taxes or bond Is­ sues, when they derive no service, ei­ ther personally or as citizens from pub­ lic service, from the plant? Is it right to tax any citizen to keep up some­ thing that gives him no return as a taxpayer? And, on the other hand, la tt right to compel the gps consumer to build up a plant from revenues de­ rived from tho salt* of gas for the pen* pie? AS the people own tips plK§ti? would It. not be move equitable to all the people to dispose of the plant gad with the proceed* nwalafi' * neewWty Thin, to our opinion, *ftenld find favor from 'both factious, both of whom at present have just cause forBoomplalttf?* IMin;; u.-'i;- »;.< FJOl»*1 tins rath of v,:c v > ilia *1.t-.it IhltnSa declined to mah ;m ■iu .jt t.'Ut at the eijd of that pr-sh-il v .t,;xK v.cro getting $■!>ra u .jvv . k than in 2000, The titol 1r;i hi Rrv.-t the five years compared 'vi'ji th.' wag ncale of 1000 wap i;u> tli.fi i.-kv.),c;i).ii0fi.

The burning flown of th6 municipal; electric" light plant of Boat Grand Forks* Minn., liaq probably settled tho question of Its abandonment, which was under discussion, prior to the fire. A well Informed correspondent writes 'that “tlie'plant has furnished a some­ what Indifferent service am did hot earn enough to pay the fuel and labor accounts, to say nothing about inter* cat on investment, depreciation, etc./’ in spito of Its charging private custom­ ers $120 a year for 1,200 d p. ares on moonlight schedule* , As East Grand Fdrks is a border town imd rlgfiY across tho line in North Dakota (a prohibition state) is the city of Grand Forks, about 00 per cent of the business houses In East Grand- Forks nre saloons. Many of these got their electric fights from a private company in Grand Forlca, be­ cause the service was better and- the price lower, until the council passed a resolution to tho effect that no saloon would he licensed unless It patronized the municipal plant. There Is a curious discrepancy be­ tween the various reporta as to the value .of the plant. In January the city authorities'reported that the plant had cost $32,00!);—Three months later they estimated the fire loss at $10,000, although we Understand ibat tbe plant is entirely destroyed, and adjusted tho loss nt $5,000, the plant having been in­ sured for $8,400. AS it was Installed In 1902, Jt looks as though the depreda­ tion amounted to 81 per cent in five years, or 1? per cent a year. The plant will probably not be rebuilt, Medford's Plant dot of Date. F. H. Xtorrar, superintendent of the city electric light plant, states that the plant is out of date and prnctlcally useless, According to bis statement, the plant is worth about $10,000, and it would require an expenditure of $15,000 to make It serviceable, while a tlew plant would dost about $20,000. The majority of the council favor the employment of an electrical expert to make a thorough examination of tlic plant and report on the same.—Elec­ trical World. !§rM ■Tlie men .wlio transfer huge blacks of granite . ... into beautiful monuments arid headstones iu our workshop are the most skillful that money can procure.
