The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1895-11-01

One of the most important matters
for the future welfare of the city that
has been made public for long time
came tothe surfaces Saturday, although
the projectors have long had it under
consideration. Messrs. c. L. Allie
man and S. r. Snow will ask the
council for franchise to operate an
electric street railway system to cover
the city and suburbs, to operate a
plant to do commercial and city light
ing and to furnish power, and to oper-
ate steam or hot water heating
plant for commercial purposes. At
the same time, the city will be asked
| to grant the new company contract
to light the city.
Messrs. Alleman and Snow stated to
the FREE PRESS this afternoon that
they have all the backing of capital
that will be needed, and that if the
franchise is granted, it will be
followed by the expenditure Of an i'm
mense amount of money in Mankato
in the immediate future. They are
willing that time limit should be
placed upon the carrying out of all
that they ask, but they will not con-
sent to division of the privileges
granted in the franchise. They hold
that neither of the plants conten-
plated would pay alone, and that they
are figuring on the growth of business
in the future. They do not propose
to make any fight to secure the fran
chise, but will submit the proposition
to the council for its approval simply
as matter of business. They are
prepared to furnish any kind of bond
for any reasonable sum of money
named. They stated futher that they
would put in the finest incandescent
light system known.
Messrs Alleman and Snow have to-
day interviewed all of the aldermen in
regard to the matter and all have e.
pressed desire to hold a special
meeting to consider the matter
Monday night. Mayor Weaver
will not arrive in the city
until 900 p. m., and will not
know of the matter until then. 1t
will devolve upon him to call the
special meeting. None of the alder
men knew anything about the matter
until today.
The projectors of the enterprise
say that they mean business. This
seems to be very good solution OF
the Vexed lighting question and will
bring about great and needed i'm
provement. The details Of price for
the city lights, etc, would be arrang-
ed between the council and the petit
tionerS on the basis of fairness.

APubltc Library for johnson ,Yi,.

Mr.. Editor: The ladies OF Johnson
City, ever ready to advance the best
interests of their town, have under
taken to celebrate Tennessees centen.
NAL year by the establishment of
public library in Johnson City. The
members of the monday Club" have
taken the matter in charge, aud in
vite our public-spirited people to lend
helping hand in the matter.
Their plan, briefly, is this; To ask
a subscription ofone dollar from every
willing person towards library fund.
This fund is to be used wholly in the
purchase of new magazines and new
books. These are to be placed in
suitable and convenient room, within
the town, and to be loaned to these
individual subscribers, and by them
to be returned punctualIy every tuo
aoeeks to the library. The magazines
are to be returned weekly, in order that
they may be distributed four times
each month, Both magazines and
books are to be selected by a commit
tee, and referred to the entire body of
subscribers for their approval, before
they are purchased. 1t is proposed to
begin with twelve magazines and fifty
new books. This will require proba.
bly, $50 to be made W. in the manner
Indicated.
In order to give an additional oppor.
tunity to any one who feels DESTROYS to
give new pleasure and attraction to
the town, and to aid in the intellectual
and moral upbuilding of the commu,
nifty, a Book Reception" will be held
to which the intelligent reader Of
books is cordially invited, and who
will be expected to bring or send do
nation, in the shape OF some standard
book of literature, in fiction, poetry,
travels, history or biography, tor the
use OF the library and its readers. In
this way, bright, working library,
without burdening any one, can easily
be formed. The yearly growth of
magazines and books, it is believed,
will soon equal the wants of the town !;
and it is intended that this collection
shall be a permanent and not tenn
porary affair. The books are to be
owned by the people who purchase,
use or donate them. A librarian and
assistant committees have already
been selected, and the whole ma
cbinery for carrying the new enter
prise into working operation prepared.
Cash subscribers and donations Of
books are solicited from all who would
increase the intelligence. and culture
of our little city.
The library will be open half day
in each week for the exchange of books
and magazines.

PLANE FOR EQUIPMENT.

With $4,000 expended, the factory
complete and all paid for Except ma
chinery) it is fonnd an easy matter to
equip it, as the shareholders have
demonstrated their intention and
ability to keep up their payments, and
that they are really in earnest in their
movement.
The plans for equipping vary. The
cost of power is usually alb ut $4,000.
and for the rest of the machinery, for
factory the size stated, about
$4,000. These figures are for a yarn
mill. If looms are to be added the
cost is more and the capital stock
rather too small yet close estimate
can be made aud enough looms in
cluded for little more to weave the
yarns spun, and it is said that this is
the batter plan to pursue, for at times
the yarn market is dull and it is more
profitable to weave than to sell the
output, so that advantage can be taken
of the market and when the sale of the
yarn is not on profitable basis it can
be converted into sheeting, which has
always ready sale. The orders for
the machinery must be placed some

Heavy Indigent Charges.

The supervisors yesterday accepted the resignation of F. Pattison as con- stable of Gila Ben1 precinct and spent the balance of the day auditing the regular accounts. One of the heaviest charges now against the county is the care of the indigent. ''We do all we ean," asserted Su uoervisor George, ''to keep down the expense under this head and occasionally feel really ashamed of myself for turning away many appli- cants that are to degree needy. yet we never. in spite of our care, audit less than $4, 300 quarter for the cars of in- digents. Of course, this includes the cost of the county hospital, but it's high and the trouble is the charges are increasing" Then the captain sighed as he remarked: "Perhaps that's one of the necessary evils Ishat accompany a higher civilization"

Harry Hibben of Babbitt Bros., and J. NJ. Francis of the Flagstaff Mercantile company are now in the city and have secured orders for fully eight carloads of potatoes for de-. livery within the next thirty days. MT. Francis is something of an en- thusiast over the commercial possibili- ties of @ com mbination of the business interests of Northern and Southern Arizona, and declares that by the cul- tiyation of trade between these sections thousands of dollars month can be retained at home that now go to Cali fornia. "As for us," said he, i've are bound to get our products into the Phoenix market and will take the Phe. nix products even if they cost us more than those from abroad"
