The controller estimated that with existing rates maintained the earnings of the combined plants next year would be $60,000, all of which could be applied to the loan. Must Repay Funds. "Of course, the money taken from the city plant's sinking fund, created for the purpose of retiring the building bonds when they mature in 1927, eleven years hence, will have to be repaid to that fund, but that is easily accomplished," the controller said. "This building bond issue amounts to $139,000. If $1,000 a month, beginning next year, is paid into the sinking

fund during the next eleven years, there will be more than enough available to retire the building bonds when they mature." . City Attorney Bond estimated that a temporary loan of approximately $76,000 could be secured from the local banks at a 4 per cent rate of interest. Such a loan he said, could be paid off in less than two years. Superintendent Kleinknecht mentioned the fact that a new 2,000 k. w. turbine engine is to be purchased this year by the city at a cost of approximately $30,000, but, he eaid this would be provided for by the money realized from the sale of equipment at the two local plants which the city will have no use for. Favors Temportry Loan. Before adjourning council went on record as favoring a temporary loan instead of a bond issue and by motion established 4 per cent as the maximum amount of interest to be pand upon such a loan.1 By a motion of Councilman Steinbrink, a committee composed of Mayor Robblns, President Bavis, City Attorney Bond and Superintendent Kleinknecht, was appointed to arrange for a publicity campaign. On motion Councilmen Carter, Burdeall, Howells, Stembmk 'ami Wkidele' were appointed to co-operate with the board, the mayor and the city attor

ney to arrange for financing the pur-j

chase project. 'A meeting will be held''

Thursday night and a report submitted to council at its next meeting, . January 3. City Attorney Bond said that it was important that arrangements to comply with the order of the state commission, that the city should make full payment to the Light, Heat & Power company within ninety days, be complied with, even though the company contemplates appealing the commission's purchase order to the courts. To Operate Separately. In reply to questions he said that following the purchase the two plants would have to be operated separately for a time, as much time would have to be taken in "cutting over" from the Light, Heat & Power plant to the city plant, preparatory to abandoning the former plant. He also stated that the city plant was plenty large enough to produce electric current for a city of 75,000 population. Several councilmen in referring to

public opinion on the purchase project said some people were afraid it would result in increased taxes; others expressed preference to a policy of cutting rates on the part of the city, and with the end in view of driving out the completing plant. Waltermann said some of his constituents opposed the purchase project, believing thiA competition , was essential, while others were fearful a municipal electric monopoly would soon become the haven of political incompetents. "My people want assurance that the plant will always be in the bands of a first-class man, who can not be replaced for political reasons, and they want a guarantee that the civil service will be exterfded to all other plant employes," Waltermann declared.

Bond Answers Critics. Mr. Bond answered all these criticisms. In the first place he said, the consummation of the purchase project would be a panacea for the lower-

He said that the plan of driving the Light, Heat & Power plant out of business through a rate slashing war was impossible because the state commission required the same schedule of rates for each plant in cities where two plants operated. "As far as the plant becoming a political football is concerned," the city attorney said, "the people themselves will be to blame if that misfortune ever comes' to pass. 1 stand for placing all plant employes under civil service, and this can be accomplished without difficulty by having a law passed to that effect by the legislature. "As far as competition being required, let me point out that so long as there is competition the city will never be able to offer the lowest possible lighting and power rates. Rates will under competition, be maintained to a point where the weakest of the two plants will be able to make a fair return upon the investment."

The old woman stood watching the IffHtf fltnd the illumination of tenderness transfigured her ugly old face into the very personification of kindness, of understanding, of the

fmofherTspirit'.

Mrs. Murtha stood looking at the closed door wistfully. She wanted to help, and yet she felt almost hopeless. Hildegarde Sanbury stood to the people of the model tenements as their adviser and guide. It was not for them to settle her problems or even to recognize that she had them. Rather it was for them gratefully to accept her help and humbly to appreciate the beauty of spirit that let them call her sister. Mrs. Murtha set about her work. That is the great irony of life tragedy and heartbreak and then the primal demands of existence we eat, or we go from the finality of death itself to washing dishes or paring potatoes. But suddenly the old Irish woman stared in affright and with a certain shrewd understanding as Hildegrade came into the room carrying a little black bag and an armful of traveling necessities.

"Ye ain't goin' away, are ye?" asked

Mrs. Murtha. There is no vast gulf of inequality between the poor and their servants. And so human intercourse is possible between them. "Yes yes," replied Hildegarde, jamming her possessions into the black bag with an air of abstraction that showed her mind was concentrating on tasks other than those her - body was performing. Mrs. Murtha searched her mind for an inspiration that should

Now she was going to meet her own desperate necessities. "The agent says he's goin' t throw him out," went on Murtha, clinging to her inspiration. "He deserves it."
