The Municipal Light Plant Business and professional men will meet Friday to determine the course they wish council to adopt relative to the municipal light plant. The committee of seven has gathered data on the financial condition of the institution and the report of its findings probably will be the basi3 shaping the policy adopted by the men who attend the meeting. The light plant has been forced into the foreground of municipal discussion by the long contest waged between the city council and the board of works on the question of appropriating $275,000 for the purchase of new machinery. It may be well for citizens to recall the history of that struggle. The board of works made no recommendation to the city council until it had called in competent engineers to make a survey of the plant and report its needs. The board of works felt that experts were required to de

cide if the plant was working to its capacity, if

the demands for current by domestic consumers and power users necessitated expansion, if new machinery was required, what its capacity should be, and scores of other details of a technical and semi-technical nature.

After this report had gone before council, it' agreed that expansion of some kind was necessary in the plant. Then arose the squabble over the extent of the improvement. Competent engineers informed city officials that the jnachinery which the board of works recommended was the most efficient for the purpose for which it was required.

The board of works throughout the controversy was not. acting without competent counsel

and advice, but depended upon practical and technical men for recommendations and suggestions a perfectly sound and business-like course to pursue. Council, however, persisted in its policy of obstruction, not because it denied the necessity of the improvement, but because it was feeding fat a grudge against the board. In the meantime the financial affairs of the plant showed a temporary inability to meet current obligations, owing to neglect on the part of the board to ask for increased rates soon enough. But the deficit wras small, and, according to City

Controller Bescher, the plant will be able to meet all bills and the payroll by the end of the month. The plant is perfectly solvent. Any effort to deny this fact is foolishness. The plant's earning capacity under the new rate schedule will be sufficient, barring unforeseen contingencies, not only to meet obligations, but also to show a profit. The necessity of buying new equipment needs no proof. If citizens want the assurance of continuous service in their homes and industries auxiliary machinery to supply current when accidents occur must be installed. If citizens want the plant, now working to full capacity, to be able to take on new customers, domestic and power, additional units are required.

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

v , ) EVENING Evening is the rounding up time. The buzz of the day lessens, the tired horses are put into their barns, the wheels of the factories stop running, lights sparklo from windows clear around the world. How we all look forward to Evening! For Evening is play time it's rest time. All the memories of the day are wrapped around the thought and talk of Evening. And it's at Evening, after the hurly-burly of the day is over, that we aro able to got our3elve3 together in compact style and And out how far we've gone, wherein we have failed, and the manner in which we have achieved something worth while. L.et'3 not just accept Evening as something that comes around in the natural order of thinss. But let us make it something that meets us like the pleasant chap at the door of an Inn when we arrive for the night. And let's always be happy and cheerful at the Evening-time. Evening is the hour of laughter, of good cheer, of reading, of reflection. Morning has its sunrise, its inspiring freshness and promise. Noon haa its fulfillments. But Evening, with Its opalled sunsets, its darkening shadows soft as velvet, and its vapory touch of quiet, happy repose what moment of life is quite like that of Evening! Let us love our Evenings.

It is a well-known scientific fact that there is a great propulsive power in wind. Every man who has ever operated a windmill can prove this assertion. All the wind in the country would operate many street car lines and factories, yet how profligate we are with it. Do you realize what could be done with all the wind that is annually wasted by being blown through musical instruments? The waste by amateurs and beginners and those taking lessons is beyond comprehension . Of course some used by members of professional orcheetras is cot always a waste, but frequently, even in this case, more is used than 13 necessary. The amount that is wasted by orators during a presidential year like this staggers the imagination. A BRIDGE OF WIVES.

you seen the announcement of my death in the paper?" "Yes," replied Smith. "Where are you speaking from?" Dlbbins was dining with some people who were proud of the recent elevation of a member of the family to the house of lords. "This," said the hostess, "makes the second of my husband's family in the peerage. Have you any relation in the house of lords?" "Xo," said Dibbins, "but I've two maiden aunts in the kingdom of heaven."

REVERSE THE SITUATION Look back to the year 1918, supposing it had been a German victory and the exiled kaiser with his following of kind-hearted generals held the whip First, would have been the drawing up of a set of peace terms which would have made the ones of today seem very, very mild. Next the allies would have ToVarry them out, not two or three years later, but at once. If they could not and would ask for time and .ignore them altogether as Germany is doing today, then we would be shown some more of that German culture which was so prominent In the world war. Our sons fought and fell that we might have peace,that the wrongs of Europe and the tragic death of those innocent souls on that ill-fated Luisitania might be righted, so this at least shows that we have not so 60on forgotten. It mayie that Germany cannot meet all the demhads of the peace treaty at the present time but that does not mean she shall ignore them altogether

as it seems she is figuring on doing if she can keep putting the allies off. She prepared her own medicine; now let her partake of it. She cast a civilized world into a firey hell because of a greed of world's dominion which had been burning within her breast

for the past fifty years. Her military lords said the time was ripe to strike. We will have Europe on her knees in
