EXPERT GIVES HIS ESTIMATE Would Cost $40,000 to Build Wire Conduit on Main r Street. THE PLAN AS PROPOSED ; THE CITY MAY OWN THE CONDUIT AND CHARGE RENTAL TO COMPANIES THAT USE IT. l For the city to build a conduit large fcnough for all the ' telephone, telegraph and electric light wires on Main street, from Fourth to Fourteenth treats, would mean an outlay of about $40,000, according to a conduit expert who waa in the city yesterday consulting City Engineer Charles and the telephone companies on the matter. , E. F. Kirkpatrick, representing the McRoy Clay. Works, of Chicago, builders of conduits for high and low tension wires, was here to asaist Engineer Charles in making his estimate and to give the different telephone and light companies a chance to see what the expenditure will be. It has been proposed to build iie conduit through the business section of the city, where the poles are most unsightly, and the cost, Mr. Kirkpatrick says, would not be less than about 14,000 a block. , Ih most cities, telephone companies .each bujld their own conduits and hate entire charge of them. Here, it Is proposed to have the city in charge, renting space in the conduits to the different companies that wish to use them. TRis w6uld mean that all companies with"; wires on the street would hatfe to use the conduits, or the effect weuld'beHost in not gettlng'all the wires "down. t There are 'many disadrantages to this system,".

FOR A NEW EASTER The material proposedTfoY lse in the building of the tunnel is tile, or burnt clay. It is inexpensive as compared with other materials a id is said to last longer. If the city were to cause the telephone companies to rem ve , their wires from Main street, it wc uld entail a graat loss to the comjmnjs, as each pole and its equipment, cost3 about $45. .

MUCH OPPOSED TO ; SSLEJF PLANT President Zeller of Board of Works Stands by Light . Plant.

NEW EQUIPMENT NEEDED HE CONTENDS THAT THERE IS EXCELLENT REASONS WHY THE IMPROVEMENT SHOULD CZ MADE. J. S. Zeller, president of the Board of Public Works, ts a staunch advocate cf municipal ownership anO is strongly opposed to selling the City Light Plant, but he is convinced that it will be necessary to expend between $30,000 and $40,000 In re-equipping the plant. According to Mr. Zeller the con stant wear and tear for the past four years on the two units, which are depended upon to supply lighting "and power at the Municipal Light Plant, have placed them in such a bad condition that their period of usefulness will be of short duration unless an other unit is added to the plant. Mr. Zeller states that on account of their being only two engines at the city plant, it has been impossible to stop them . long enough . during the past four years to make the necessa ry repairs. , , He . says that it would take at least a week to give them a thorough overhauling, but at the pres ent time this cannot be done t as they have to be kept going day and night. With anothr unit added to the . plant, according to Mr. Zeller, it could supply the lighting and power to the consumers while the other units were being repaired. His Opinion Differs. Mr. Zeller differs in opinion from. City. Attorney Gardner and Robert S. Ashe, who contend that the two units now used at the plant are capable of supplying the power now furnished by the plant and the additional capacity the plant will be called upon to supply in the near future. Mr. Zel ler contends that these units would have to work overloads if called upon to supply much more power than they now furnish. "It would be just the same as try ing to work the new press at the Pal ladium twice as fast as it is built to run. The press might stand the pressure for a time, and then, without notice, break completely down. This is, exactly what, will happen at the city plant if the two units are called upon to supply more power than they are capable of." Mr. Zeller states that the board will urge council to call a special election for the purpose of voting on the re equipment of the city plant and said that it had been suggested that this election ' be held In conjunction' with the one that will be held to consider the sale of the, plant. - 7 The president of the Board of Pub lie Works is of the opinion that it would be the greatest folly to sell the plant and estimates that it is worth ssuo.uuo to tue city u it is worth a cent. : ,. Estimates the Increase. Mr. Zeller estimates that from now on the increase In business at the city plant up to Christmas time will be on an average of from one to two con nections a day. ' He is also of the opinion that R. S." Ashe, whose statements havej " been ' appearing in the Palladium, has "too much to say. "Mr.- Ashe" constructed the municipal plant," said Mr. Zeller, "and his work was far from' being perfect." 'The ce ment work is a botch and the furnaces are no good.- Instead of lining them with fire clay, he lined them with mortar. The poles are also not up to standard. Mr. Ashe should have waited the outcome of the committee's investigation ' as to the condition of the plant, before he rushed Into print, as he is the man that is responsible if the plant is found to be faulty In construction. Won't Affirm or Deny. Last week's Preble County Democrat contains a sensational article in regard to an alleged find by work men on the. M. K. Hersel farm near that place last week. It is supposed that an iron kettle containing over three quarts oV old silver coins was unearthed. Tradition tells of an old distillery located on the HenseL farm and that part of its bank account was secreted. Mr. Hensel refuses to af firm or deny. New Paris Mirrow. Easter Market.
