PURDUE HOLDS INSTITUTE FOR ECONOMY MEN

ECONOMY, Ind., Feb. 10. The Tamers' institute under the auspices of Purdue university opened here for a one-day session this morning with an attendance of 150 persons which was expected to be augmented by the presence of others this afternoon and evening. The principal speaker at the morning session was Mr. Crane of Logansport, who spoke on the "Utility of the Farm" pointing out bow different the scientific methods employed by farmers now were in comparison with the crude methods of twenty years ago. Science, he said is giving the farmer opportunity to produce twice as much as he did some years ago off the same land. The speaker recommended that more fertilizer be sown including clover which he said was the greatest of all fertilizers, artificial fertilizer and limestone. Uev. Polhemus opened the meeting with invocation, Vernon Marshall presided. Lectures and music will be given this evening.

GERMAN BANK, Continued From Page One. as the purchase of the company's "good will" was involved. City Attorney Bond In the written opinion he has submitted to the mayor says that the city, in is proceedings for the purchase of the privately owned' electric plant has acted under the provisions of the Shiveley-Spencer Utility Commission act, passed in 1913. One of the sections of the act cited by him reads: " 'Any municipality shall have the power," subject to the provisions of this act, to acquire by condemnation, the property of any public utility actually used and useful for the convenience of the public, etc' " Bond Makes Comment. . Commenting on this the city attorney says: "The city in this case has proceeded under this subdivision of the statute As no election is provided for in this act, to hold that

an election is necessary in order fbr the city to acquire the property of another-utility would mean to say that something additional must be done than as this act provides, and yet the act itself sets forth a full and complete method to be followed, and says in plain and unequivocal language that by following Its provisions the city can acquire the property of a private utility." He then points out that no other statutes provide a method for the city to acquire the property of a privately owned utility through condemnation proceedings, hence there is no conflict in laws. "At the session of our common council, held on January 3," the opinion continues, "it adopted a resolution accepting the finding and order of the commission in this case (for the purchase of the L. H. & P. plant) and by this action, it is my opinion, the city became legally bound for the payment of the compensation fixed and stated therein, and that it cannot become any more obligated if an election were held and a majority of the votes cast In favor of the city acquiring this property." Passes Over Legality. In his opinion the city attorney does not touch upon the question raised by

the bank attorneys that the procedure followed by the city in financing the proposed purchase project is illegal. Mr. Bond states that as soon as the loan is advanced to the city by the German-American bank the fund will be placed in the designated depository, the Second National bank, preparatory to closing the deal upon the order of the commission. ' President Bavis of the board today gave out the following statement: "We are given to understand that Mr. Alex Gormon is circulating a petition ascertaining the sentiments of these merchants along Main street as to how they feel on the city's intention of buying the electrical property of the Light, Heat & Power company. We have not been advised as to whether Mr. Gormon Is in possession of two petitions, one in favor of and the other against the project, and knowing Mr. Gormen's antipathy to performing any any kint. of labor without com

pensation it would be Illuminating to the public to know what Mr. Gorman's compensation is and from what source it comes. "Is Mr. Gormon looking for anyone favoring the project? And Is be making an accurate record of the same? It not 'what purpose Inspires, outside his salary, his activities? No one will charge him with being sufficiently interested in the general welfare of the city to devote his time and valuable services unless it has some financial or political baring advantageous to Mr. Gormon."
