Kleinknecht Reports a Re- . markable growth in Business Since January. Since January 5, up to today, the Richmond municipal plant has added 412 new patrons to its extensive list, Superintendent Kleinknecht announced today, and before the close of the month expects to add more patrons, t "In January we made 112 connections, 68 in February, 104 in March and so far this month, 128," the plant nianager'stated. , "The number of connections made so far this month has broken all records for the plant and I do not expect it will be equaled again. At the present time we have ninety per cent of the Main street business, last year we had less than sixty per cent of this business." Mr. Kleinknecht states that the plant "receipts for April will be about $9,500, or an increase of $2,000 over April, 1913. "Of course the city is now paying for its street and public building lighting, but at the same time the commercial xate is 16 2-3 per cent lower than it wan in April last year, so it can be seen Vihat a thriving business the planfTTs now doing," he stated. Kleinknecht resents the assertion made by some of the representatives

of. the Light, Heat and Power company that the reports of increased business made by municipal plant employes are founded on fiction, and he fiays he can prove beyond a question of a doubt that the city plant has added 412 consumers to its list this year, practically all of them former patrons of the Light, Heat and Power company.

Numerous offers of ships have been made to .the department. Very Cruz U quiet, the admiral reported. "Sniping" has ceased since tne house top search by the American sailors and marines.

ijasi evening anotner meeting was held and the new schedule was tested and in the opinion of most of the city officials and Commercial club members worked satisfactorily. However, another meeting will be held again tonight and further tests will be made. The $700,000 valuation placed on the plant is slightly higher than the valuation given by the city at the recent hearing before the state public service commission, and considerably lower than the plant valuation claimed by the company. Opinions Differ. One or two Commercial club men who attended the meetings, asserted that while the schedule drafted on a basis of $700,000 valuation might be perfect, it would be of no value in the event a higher or lower valuation

was fixed by the commission.

TO MAKE CONDUITS

Edwin M. Campfield. the local architect, has secured a patent on a new air cell conduit that will afford underground protection for hot or cold water pipes. The patent is called the thermos conduit and works on the principle of the thermos vacuum bottle, retaining heat or cold as the case may be. Mr. Campfield has received many tnrmtrta hnut his new conduit and

facture the product himself. Owing to the fact that the clay necessary for the manufacture of the conduit cannot be secured around here, the conduits will be manufactured at Brazil, Ind., where the clay Is abundant.
