Look for the Little Colored Boy "Citizen" seems to take a good deal of satisfaction in repeating to the public what the writer said to him in an pert letter, viz., that we paid a flat rate of 2 cents per kilowat for whatever power was used by the Wayne Works. The writer had no idea that there tvas any secret about this price. Presume the Board of Public Works had i reason for making this price; possibly competition may have forced them io do so. However, If that price is too low, this concern has no contract nor agreement, in any way, either written Dr verbal, and the Board of Public Works has a perfect right to change the rate, and for that matter, if there ts any particular class of individuals R-ho are taking power current from the Municipal light plant, who are buying it for less money than they are entitlfd to purchase it, we see no reason why this condition should not be remedied and the rate properly advanced. The writer thinks he understands the reason why "Citizen" wants to aiake a noise about this rate, and in Drder that there may be nothing secret about it, wants to make the small tax-payer dissatisfied with the situation, and probably desires to get him sufficiently disgusted with municipal ownership, that he will want to dispose of the Municipal light plant. "Citizen" stated in his first communication that he wanted Mr. Witherby to investigate the plant, and if there was anything found wrong with It, he would vote to sell it. Now, the writer has invited Mr. Citizen to come out and make public his Identity, in order that the public may1 know wherein his interests lie in this proposition. The writer has information from a source that he believes to be authentic, that these communications come from the office of the Light, Heat & Power Co. are typewritten and are given to the newspapers, and if Mr. Citizen has the public benefit at heart, we see no reason why he should not, in a manly way, step out in public and disclose his identity, in other words, there is no reason why there should be any "gum shoe" practice in discussing the merits and demerits of municipal ownership. As an illustration of this quiet way of doing things: One Mr. Glenn Mars'.on of Beacon St., New York, expressed a desire to speak before the Com-

merclal club of this city and.-announced the snbject of his speech to be

"Public Control of Public Utilities," stating In his communication that a member of the Commercial club had invited him to come here and give this talk and that the said member of the Commercial club would pay his expenses tor so doing, j ne commercial club today, don't know who that memljer was who paid the expenses of Mr. Matston here. Now, Mr. Citi zen, are you not n member of the Commercial club, and do you not know who paid this gentleman's expenses here? Now, Mr. Citizen, we want to ask you another question: Why is it that you fail to say a word about the value of the franchise? We have asked you if you would sell it? '- have asked you if you would Rive it away, and now we a-;k you, would you advocate giving it. away, and would you want to take care of (lie tax-payers, interests to UK- ext..' ;. of lvii'.i; away $100,000 of actual valu? Conu- our in public and answer the:e questions. Don't let's talk about some favored few who may have bought power for IV2 cents per kilowat. That is a mat ter that can be remedied without trouble, if an abuse has crept in, in the management of the nlant, the Board of Public Works is in position to remedy it; but the Board of Public Works would not be in position to remedy the condition of 20,000 people who had given away their franchise and sold their plant, when they awakened some fine mornine and found a corporation knocking at the door, ask- j ing and demanding an increased rate j for light and power service. In your first communication, Mr. ; Citizen, you asked tis to name the i public utility that had its maximum ! rate raised after a franchise was j granted and that question was answered by calling your attention to ihe. Home Telephone Co., in this city. You ! have not said anything about that, j 'If we are going to discuss this mar-1 ter, let us take up the facts as they j exist, and if there is a wrong being j committed here, let us correct that wrong. .If this Is a case of one citizen, who is an employe of the Light, Heat & Power Co. writing these communications, let the public know who he is. Then if the public thinks best to consider a proposition looking to the sale of its plant, to the opposition it will take this step with its eyes wide open. Now, don't muddy the water. Turn on that flood of light. We may be able a little later on, to discover this colored boy for whom we are looking. w. w. s. TOWNSHIP SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION Be Held at Greensfork Sunday Afternoon.

Housewives who buy seven or eight bars of yellow laundry soap for a quarter doubtless think they are getting a big twenty-five cents' worth. They are in rosin, which is not a cleanser at all. A five cent cake of such a pure white soap as Easy Task with its soft, creamy lather, will outlast, two bars of smeary rosin soap, because it is good all through. CONCRETE BRIDGE IN JACKSON TOWNSHIP Commissioners Award Contract. the At the meeting Friday afternoon the Wayne county board of commissioners awarded the contract for the erection of a concrete bridge known as the Burkett arch in Jackson township to the National Concrete Company of Indianapolis. This company bid $1,0S5. Isaac Smith entered a bid. The bids were opened last Saturday and the delay has resulted from the desire of the commissioners to investigate. Smith's bid was for a structure having a crown fourteen inches thick. The bid of the successful firm was in a structure with a nine-inch crown The commissioners questioned the strength of the latter but were given a guarantee, so selected the bid.
