An we pointed out yesterday, it seemed to uk, at the city council meeting Tuesday night, that the city admin* iatration plana to throw every possible obstacle, without being too obvious, in the path of settling the light plant issue. This will be very bad for the city—farmers, industrialists, businessmen, and in fact every citizen who is tired of reading, listening, and talking about it, are anxious for a prompt, efficient settlement. Councilman Norbert Aumann hit the nail on the head when he asked if it didn’t look like "stalling" when the letter from Judge Parrish was read. It was quite obvious, from the seriousness with which the mayor and city attorney treated the letter, that they did not think it was strange. Now, to many of us present it seemed very strange that the circuit court, would, in effect, ask the city council for a legal opinion. Had the letter been directed to the attorney-general, or the supreme court, it may have been in order; actually, the questions propounded were ones which only a court could answer. What you or I, or the city council, think about the questions in no way affects the legality of any action taken. Judge Parrish, who in a few days appointed appraisers for Monroe, and then took months to appoint two separate ones for the city of Decatur, apparently feels that he used poor political judgment. • f He is now trying to throw back into the lap of the city council a hot potato, one which by law’ only he, or a higher court, can resolve. Judge Parrish in the past took an active part in helping set up the fees for the appraisers. If he feels that the city council should pay the $4,000 fees requested, he certainly has legal methods of doing it. If he feels it isn’t fair,, then he has legal ways of settling that, too. So anyone who takes the letter seriously is only being confused by a strategem conceived to get the judge off the spot with the rural voters, who are fed up with the legal maneuvers which are keeping them from receiving decent electric service at a fair price. Mayor Gage, during the course of the meeting, was asked by Dr. Spiegel if the vote on the electric question in November did not signify that the people wanted a sale. The mayor replied by saying that it was not a legal election. Now, if by Aiat he meant that it had no force, he ' was right. But if he actually meant that it was illegal to vote on the question, then he should certainly present his evidence to the Grand Jury, and attempt to prevent the payment of fees by the city for an illegal purpose. If ,on the other hand, he also meant that he wished the election had gone the other way, and w’ants to see a third election, then he is again slowing down the set- v tling of the question, and helping raise the anger between farmers and city, and between city factions. Another "problem” thrown out by the new mayor was this—should Decatur make*, any capital improvements in the city plant before the sale is decided ? He implied strongly that they should. Qneof which he mentioned specifically was an SII,OOO line to the new Central Soya experimental building. He asked the council to consider it. Now, he could have told the council that everything possible should be done to speed up the consideration of the sale, that the judge should be encouraged to stop beating around the bush and appoint three appraisers, and that his own citizens committee should be called together, and told that the election is over, and they can stop fighting progress now’. It appears, though, that if the mayor can delay the settlement of the light plant, he can force the council to build the line, which is of course needed. Then, since the sale contract with l&M cannot be changed without going through this whole business a fourth time, his citizens £ committee can campaign against the sale on the grounds that the capital improvements keep it from being a fair • price, or perhaps even the appraisers would make that decision. Central Soya wants the line by June, and superintendent Pettibone told the city council he could have it built in three weeks. So the issues should be decided by then —if this stalling is stopped by action of irate townspeople and farmers.

Just what is the proper way I for a salesperson in a store to address a customer? A. Male customers are called “Sir” in practically every store. Just what to call a woman customer is usually a matter of store policy—some stores instructing their salespeople to call women "Ma’am,” or "Madam.” Many more just advice avoiding the use of any title unless the customer’s name is known. In any case, it is really up to the store. Q. One of my friends always holds a “post-mortem” at the end of a hand after I have made a poor play at our bridge club. Is she justified in making this sort of critical review? A. Only if she is your bridge teacher. Otherwise, she is quilty of extremely bad manners. Q. Is a woman supposed to precede or to follow her male escort as thev walk alone and shake hands with the members of a reception line? A. The woman is always received first.

"He could get ■ them by a simple telephone call. A total of 13 policemen have i been arrested and freed on bonds up to $3,000. Eight are charged • with burglary, three with extorting money from a burglar and two with concealing evidence against him. 11 Girls In Row : At Linton Hospital LINTON, Ind.
