VALUATION OF PLANT AT HAGERSTOWH TO BE REPORTED SOOH

Box Social At Carlos City

School Friday Evening CARLOS CITY, Ind, Oct. 24.

There will be a box social -held at

the school building next Friday eve-

(Special to The Palladium) HAGERSTOWN. Ind., Oct. 24. A report by the appraisers of the local

municipal electric plant, establishing

its valuation, is expected to be made

to the Wayne circuit court -within the

next day or two. It has been reported here that a valuation of approximately

$10,000 has been agreed upon. . It 1s understood that the appraisers

N. H. Johnson, William Bailey and Clarence Klelnknecht, all of Richmond,

would hare submitted their report

Monday had it not been for a disagree

ment over a technical question involv

ing the valuation, which Question, it is

said, has been referred to Judge Bond

for an opinion.

It is the general belief that as soon as a valuation for the plant has. been

established the town board will adver

tise for purchase offers for the property. And when this action is taken

it is probable that a petition will be

circulated for a special election to per

mit the taxpayers to determine what

disposition shall be made of the plant.

Not Profitable investment The plant has not been a profit

able investment for the town, and,

apparently, Its efficiency has been re

duced to considerably below standard

through mismanagement. For the past two years, as town officials explain it, the affairs of the plant

have been brought to the point of

demoralization.

Since Aug. 9 of this year, three

restraining orders involving the ad

.ministration of Hagers town's munic

ipal enterprise have been issued and

;two of these orders are still opera

tiva. Robert Ashe, president of the

1 Liberty Light & Power company, who i contends that he has acquired a conI tract to deliver current from Rich i mond to the corporation limits of ', Hagerstown, has secured a restrain- ' ing order to prevent the town author!, ties from Interferring in any way with rights he holds under contract And the town of Hagerstown holds a restraining order which prohibits Ashe from distributing his current within the town limits. , Bond Cancels Lease Last August the town board cancelled a lease given to Robert Cass, in November, 1920, and expiring, November, 1923. The board justified its action with the charge that Cass had violated various contract agreements. : Immediately the affairs of the plant weTe involved in litigation. The first court action was a temporary restraining order against the cancellation of the Cass contract. It is asserted by town officials that Ashe, not Cass, was the moving spirit behind the firwt injunction. In September a special Judge upheld the town's right to cancel the Cass contract by dissolving the temporary restraining order. However, during the life of the temporary injunction, Ashe had rushed through a service line from Richmond and was serving the town with current from the Richmond mu

nicipal plant. But when the temporary order e gainst the breaking of the Cass contract was set aside the town board secured a temporary order against the distribution of current within the town limits by Ashe's company. The town resumed operation of their plant. Later, Ashe made the announcement that in March of this year he had entered into an agreement with Cass whereby the Liberty Light and Power company was to deliver current to the corporation limits of Hagerstown for a period of ten years, and he followed

up this statement by securing a temporary injunction against interference with his rights under that contract. Never Been Notified Hagerstown officials assert that they had never before been notified of Ashe's contract with Cass and they also contend that inasmuch as Cass only held a three-year lease on the property he had no legal right to enter into any agreement concerning it for a period of 10 years. One of the town's legal representatives also has made the statement that last July, four months after Ashe asserts he con

tracted with Cass, he (Ashe) made a statement before town officials that

he never met Cass.

Representatives of the town govern

ment assert there is no hidden motive

behind their opposition to the Ashe

company bringing in an electric serv

ice without holding any contract for

the same with the town. Apparently they are frankly skeptical concerning the contract Ashe has said he entered

into with Cass last March. If, however, Ashe wants to. make a bid for

the purchase of . the plant, after Ha valuation has been established and MmimilltininnmttimitimiiHninmirMnnTfiHmntnmifnntnniitnnMllimiiiH I NEW FALL FABRICS !

PROHIBITION

(Continued from Page One)

sion would resulti in the sale of beer in pool rooms and the like, neverthe

less, it remains clear that this Ohio

proposal contemplates that no liquor

shall be sold, or manufactured for sale anywhere which contains more than 2 per cent of alcohol. Inasmuch as many persons believe that 2 per cent of alcohol is a resonable limitation

anyhow, and is not essentially intiox icating. "--J

It can be understood that this changa will have a considerable appeal. But

the next provision of the proposed

change refers . to all., intoxicating

liquors with any percentage of alcohol

whatever. As to these latter, the pro

posed Ohio statute makes the pos

session of them in homes or residences for the use of family and guests, when not intended for sale or other Illegal

purposes, entirely legal. Must Have Warrant.

The final provision is to the effect

that prohibition enforcement officers

shall not have the right to search the property or person suspected liquor

sellers without first securing a search

warrant. This latter provision is ob

jected to by the prohibition enforce

ment officers on the ground mat u

would make the prevention and pun

ishment of bootlegging very difficult.

The anti-saloon league is opposed to

these proposals la their entirety and a square fight, on this point consti

tutes one of the issues of the coming

Ohio election.

io a certain exieni me res ail 01 in us test of of wet vs. dry sentiment will be affected by the general issue of Re

publicanism vs. Democracy - on the same day. Also, '. it - is possible that many drys will not fight the proposal as hard as they otherwise .would because they know' that even if passed

it will have no effect whatever. The federal Volstead Act will continue to

be superior to it. Nevertheless, this

Ohio election will provide as clear a

test of popular sentiment on the bev

erage question as is possible to have

anywhere.

pneumonia. Funeral arrangements

have not yet been made.

OPPORTUNITY OVERLOOKED

(From the Birmingham Age-Herald.)

"It may be possible to communicate

with spirits." "I'm not denying that."

. men wny poKe tun at the me

diums?"

"They show such poor judgment A vtisitor from the spirit world who cared to make a speech could keep an audience of thousands spellbound in their seats for hours, but about all a spirit ever says is, 'I'm so happy

here',"

the formality of advertising for bids

has been complied with, he will en

joy the same standing as any other

bidders, it is said.

When the Cass contract was canceled the. town bpard charged that he had never givei the required bond of $5,000. that he failed to provide workmen's compensation, fire and windstorm insurance, that he provided for no service extensions, and that at the time he was relieved of his contract he was indebted to the local factory from which he was purchasing his current approximately $7,000, which still remains unpaid. Last July Ashe intimated that he might be interested if the plant was offered for sale. The Interstate company, which has a plant at Connersville, the Winchester electric service company, and Ralph Teetor, a local business man, -also are regarded as prospective bidders for the property. It is reported that the Interstate company suggested Borne weeks ago that if the property could be secured for about $5,000 it might be interested, a price which is about 50 per cent less than the valuation the appraisers are expected to establish for it

WEIGHT GAINS FOR BABIES The average gain of an infant who is doing well is six ounces a week during the first five months, and four

ounces a week during the next three or four months. Thus a baby whose birth-weight is seven and one-half g pounds would weigh about fifteen pounds, or double his birth-weight at five months, and would weigh about nineteen pounds at nine months.
