THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 8, 1913

A DEFICIT OF $65,000 SHOWS AS SURPLM $40,000 (Continued rrom Page One) the expense of the patrons of the municipal light plant. It is easy to figure how this is true, to-wit: Had -the plant received payment for public lighting it would not hav been necessary to postpone the 25 per cent reduction in rates until the first of next year. So y making public improvements out of the money due the light plant, instead of the tax funds, each patron of the municipal plant has for at least two years been paying each month, 25 per cent more for the current he uses than he Bhould have paid. It is also clear that the patrons of the Light, Heat and Power company have been contributing nothing toward public lighting. How All Cftizens Affected. Failure of the Zimmerman administration to pay the municipal light plant for public lighting has also directly affected the pocketbooks of the patrons of the Light, Heat and Power company. The municipal plant rates for electric lighting and power have been and are now excessive and, by maintaining Buch rates, has permitted its competitor to uphold its rates to a figure quite profitable to its stockholders, for the Light, Heat and Power company asserts it can meet the rate reduction of the city plant and still make the required six per cent profit. The municipal plant, however, has been compelled to maintain such a schedule of rates because of the policy of the city government refusing to pay for the current used, a policy unfair to the plant and to all its and the Light, Heat and Power company's patrons. It will be recalled that the announcement of the city plant's rate reduction followed on the heels of the city government's action in making" an appropriation to pay the public lighting bill next year. Other things entered into the big reduction of municipal plant rates, but the principal one, city officials admit, was the assurance that the plant would receive a square deal from the city after this year. MAY BUILD LADDER FOR FISH AT LAKE A fish ladder may be constructed in the dam at Morton lake, as the structure in its present condition does not meet the requirements of the state game laws. The law specifies that waterways can not be blockaded so that fish cannot travel. The water in the lake is fourteen feet deep at the dam, thought the complete basin will not be filled until some time next week. President Sedgwick of the Morton Park and Lake association had several lots in the northeast end of the park surveyed, which the association cad Blot planned t- market. So great will be the demand for cheap lots that all available property of the company along the lake will be sold except a portion near the Hawkins springs. Gorno Concert tonight. First Presbyterian church. Lay Fiahermen. Some of the fishermen of the Mexican gulf shoreo have a method of angling for tarpon that at first sight appears to be the height of laziness. A stontish line with a wire trace at the end is baited and then swung round the head and thrown right out in the sea. The other end is made fast to a post driven in the sand, the slack being coiled up beside it. Then, lying on their backs, the fishermen hitch the line over their toe, the leg resting on the other knee. Lying thus apparently asleep, with their hats tilted over their faces, they wait until a twitching of the line announces that a tarpon has taken their bait. Glancing . round to see that all is clear, the men then check the line until the fish, feeling the hook, makes off at lightning speed. The rest is easy. Stray Stories. SENATOR F. A. CLARKE DUPED BY CROOKS That Senator Clarke's $8,000,000 Fifth avenue mansion was used as a blind i by the swindlers who were indicted for selling bogus masterpieces and fake rare editions to innocent rich folk of Eastern cities, is the opinion of Mr. Sinclair, Senator Clarke's assistant secretary. The scheme was worked in this way: A number of bogus paintings would be sent to the Clarke home, ostensibly for the purpose of having the Senator inspect and buy them. Of course one glance was sufficient for Conotnr Clarke, but the swindlers would request the caretaker of the mansion to store the paintings away for a few days in the mansion and ask that a receipt be made out "to avoid any possible misunderstanding." The receipt showing that the paintings were at the Clarke home was very

The public endorsement of a local citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be had. When a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow-citizens, addresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced or he would not do so. Telling one's experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be appreciated. The following statement given by a resident of Richmond adds one more to the many cases of Home Endorsement which are being published about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it Mrs. John Conolly, 512 N. Sixteenth St., Richmond, Ind., says: "While I have never had occasion to take a kidney medicine myself, I know what Doan's Kidney Pills will do. They were used for backache and weak kidneys and they brought relief." The above statement must carry conviction to the mind of every reader. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Conolly had the remedy backed by home testimony. 50c all stores.
