City to Ask Second

Light Rate

Reduction

" Another reduction in electric lighting and power rates, averaging about twelve per cent.' will be petitioned for by the city in behalf of the municipal plant,-within a short time, was the announcement made today by Clarence Kleinknecht, superintendent of the municipal plant. Recently the city plant and .its competitor, the Light, Heat & Power company entered a jpint petition, calling for a rate reduction averaging about 16 2-3 per cent., but it is not anticipated the L. H. & P. will Join with the city In a request for another reduction, because of late the city is known to have greatly increased its business, mostly at the expense of its competitor. As a matter of fact the Light, Heat & Power company is more likely vigorously to oppose any effort on the part of the city to induce the Indiana Public Utilities Commission to authorize a further rate reduction.

'Superintendent " Kleinknecht also announced today that because of the big increase In the. business of the municipal plant he will ask the city to install a new unit at the plant, notwithstanding the fact that & unit doubling the capacity of the plant was installed last year. Kleinknecht will advise the installation of a 1,500 k. w. unit which will cost approximately $35,000. "There Is no reason why the state commission should not grant a petition for a further reduction in our electric," rates said Mr. Kleinknecht. "We will show a total receipts of about $120,000 at the close of this year against a. $92,000 business last year. I can also show that : last year the cost, delivered, of current was two cents, and that .it has now been - reduced to one cent and two mills. We now have" over 4,700 consumers against 4,275 a year ago."

Unthank; secretary, Emmett Gentry; treasurer, Addison Parker. B. Y. P. U. President, M. L. Rowe; vice president, Miss Glenna Collings; secretary. Miss Nettie Mullen; treasurer, Sylvester Caple.

COBB LECTURES.

An illustrated lecture was given the members of the high school agricultural classes of Cambridge City and the pupils of the Eighth grade by A. D. Cobb, agricultural agent, today.

ARRANGE MANUAL WORK IN GALLERY

Work of placing and arranging the exhibit of manual work of the city schools in the art gallery is well under way and everything will be in readiness for the opening tomorrow night. Miss Locke, supervisor of drawing in the city schools, has charge of the work. Two new branches of work, printing and forging, will attract attention. The work done in these departments is excellent considering the fact that all work done in these departments 1s excellent considering the fact that all work is done by students of the school, say instructors. All of the printed . matted necessary in the schools of the city is done on the high school or the Garfield presses. The work done by the children of the kindergarten will be another interesting feature. This line of work never fails to interest as the work done by the tots is unique in every sense of the word.

RELEASE AUTO flACER Police Warn Man Racing: Department Car. .

: "The police are going to stop reckless driving of automobiles and motorcycles in" this city, and if you are ever arrested here again on a charge of violating the speed limit, you will draw a heavy fine," Mayor Robblns informed C. Coffman, who lives near Cambridge City, when arraigned this morning! Coffman was not fined on the advice of the prosecutor. Coffman was arrested Sunday In West Richmond for racing with the police automobile. He did not know he was being pursued by the police machine and was not satisfied to let the car pass him. Mayor Robbins reminded him that one reckless driver ran over a small boy and badly injured him last year near the place where Coffman was "burning up the road." !

Artificial limbs are said to have been used in Egypt as early' as 700 B. C.

COIISTITUTIOIIALISTS TAKE TAMPICO ACCORDING TO REPORT AT VERA CRUZ

BY LEASED WIRE -VERA CRUZ, 'May 13.-Tanrpico is in the hands of the Constitutionalists, according to a dispatch received here at noon. The dispatch stated that fighting was still going on about the rairoad bridge and in Dona Cecelia, and the Sixteenth of September street, but it was only to cover the retreat of the Federal army under General Zaragcsa. While the rear guard fought the advancing Constitutionalists, the balance of. the federals entrained upon one hundred freight cars which had been held in readiness to transport the government forces to San Luis Potosi. Part of Tampico was reported to be on fire, and the military headquarters were badly damaged by shells from the Tebel artillery posted on Cofedria ridge.

During the morning General Zaragaso communicated with Admiral Mayo and asked if the Federals would be allowed to retreat on their gunboats. An Affirmative answer was given. . Throughout the morning the Federal gunboats Zaragosa, Bravo and Vera Cruz were able to do but little firing tiwing to shortage of ammunition. Tne, rebels took advantage of the tip and sent refugees into the city. Under cover of the fire from the rebel guns on Cofredia Ridge the Constitutionalists passed from the suburbs into the city proper. , . No report had been received here up to early afternoon of the destruction of foreign property in the oil fields at Tampico.
