OFFICIALS AND COMMITTEE I INSPECT CITY LIGHT PLANT

Not one cent of the taxpayers money had been used for the upkeep maintenance of the municipal light plant, investigation by the citizens committee and the board of works Bhowed Wednesday. The Income from the plant has taken care of all expenditures, despite the bad conditions at the plant, E. M. Campfield stated Wednesday. It was found that the proposed Improvements to put the light plant in a condition to render efficient service and continuous power, could be paid for in approximately five years from the income from the plant. The committee, meeting with the board of works, investigated reports of various engineers that have recommended improvements to the plant. Contracts already made were scrutinized and the proposal for bids on a 5,000 kilowatt turbine were gone over. An estimate is sought of the amount above the $175,000 for the turbine necessary to put the plant In tip-top condition. Need Coal Conveyors. It was found that one of the urgent needs of the plant was the need for a coal conveyor to carry the coal direct from the cars to the boilers, feeding the coal under the boilers and at the same time carrying the ashes away. It was found that this conveyor would pay for itself in one year, at the present cost of coal and labor. Further examination of the plant

showed that the power end of the plant is topsy turvy, the electrical end of the plant is in fine condition, as is the financial status. It was found also .that the plant reeds a revolving screen to sift the silt from the water as it is taken from the river. Failure to remove the dirt causes much damage to the boilers, it is said. A feed water heater is needed by the plant, the Investigation showed. It was found that some cold water and some hot water is being fed into the boilers. By means of a feed water heater, it is said, warm water would be sent into the boilers at all times. Stnce the feed water heater is operated by the exhaust steam, its operation would be economical. New stokers are recommended also as the stokers now in use were found to be dilapidated. The citizens' committee contemplates an Investigation of the transactions relative to securing bonds to cover the proposed improvements and the commission's action on the request of the city. Mr. Campfield stated that the tour of the plant Wednesday morning showed that a shortage of labor at the plant handicapped the work, and leaks existed that had not been repaired for years due to the fact that the attention of the employes had been directed entirely to the upkeep of a plant that was going to pieces constantly.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

KIWANIS CLUB HEARS DISCUSSION OF HOME RULE FOR THIS CITY Civic clubs and organizations must get together and decide just what it is they want the next Indiana legislature to do in regard to home rule and city government and then send a 6trong representation to the legislature's meetings to show that public opinion really desires changes, Guild A. Copeland, representative of the Kiwanis club at the National Municipal League meetings held in Indianapolis last week, said was the advice of the national meeting. Tremendous power in politics can. be exerted by civic clubs if they are determined to help form clean governments in their cities. "In some progressive cities civic clubs hand out books telling who is running for office, what he has done and what bis record is. These are non-partisan and are free from libel but absolutely reliable. The result has been remarkable in many cities," he said. Prefer This Form The commission-manager form of city government seems to be the most successful of any form of government tried in this country, having several advantages over the plain commission form. An effort will be made to bring Professor Charles Hatton, field secretary for the National Municipal League, to come to Richmond and address an open meeting some evening in the near future. The public affairs committee submitted a report that was unanimously accepted by the club, and the requests therein granted. The committee had previously met on Nov. 22 and discussed the home rule plan. Adopt Resolutions The resolution follows: "Be it resolyed that, we the undersigned committee, hating met and discussed the possible results by virtue of home rule, sincerely believe that home rule for the city of Richmond, Ind., will be a splendid solution that will take care of some of the present conditions in Richmond, which exist by virtue of the fact that men who are now in public office, some incompetent and others reluctant to do and perform their duties, which has resulted in great damage and dissatisfaction to the taxpayers of Richmond, to the end that it seems to be the desire of the people of the city of Richmond to change the status of government of the city and place competent men inmen in charge of the business affairs and to do so it will be necessary to have legaslation. "Be it resolved that, in view of the multitude of work that this committee has in connection with the question relating to home rule and the legal status of the same, as well as the theoretical and practical parts of the law and its administration, that said committee have additional time to investigate and acquaint themselves with the facts so that within a short time said committee can more ably present in a more efficient and educa tional way to said club, bo that before said club takes final action said club will be familiar and in possession of all data necessary in reference to Briefs Turkey Dinner at the Arlington, Thursday. NOTICE All Master Masons will please meet at Temple, Cor. 9th & N. A Sts., at 1 p. m. Friday, Nov. 26, to attend funeral of Bro. Henry C. Fox. D. D. Minnick, W. M. WHITEWATER LODGE" I. 0. 0.
