there should be errors in these pub
lished reports, or the figures should not
pc based on recent experience. the
board wrote to many cities asking the
cost per arc, including all operating
expenses and fixed charges, and from
their replies they got figures Justify
Ing the average Of s75 per arc
Are you also satisfied as to your
estimate Of the investment per arc Of
s1VV Tor installing a public plant?"
The members Of the board are not
experts In such matters; but 1t should
De borne In mind that L. W. Rundlett,
the city engineer, together with the
board, constituted the committee ap-
pointed by the common council to re-
port on the matter of lighting the
city. Mr.. Rundlett made the estimate
which appears in the committees re-
port. Before doing this he correspond
ed with and visited engineers in 9TH
er cities and gave much time and la
Dor to secure accurate information on
which to base his estimate. Then the
committee secured estimates from two
practical electricians, with experience
IN installing electric plants, and their
estlInates closely appropriated each
other and that Of Mr.. Rundlett, and
all these very nearly conceded with
the average the board had found from
comparing the reports of various cit
les. In view Of this the board still
thinks its estimate of 5000 per arc is
the fair measure of the cost of a
plant.
1--WE will add that the committee
recommended that the bid should cover
the cost of lighting the lamps, as the
payment of one-half the cost of light
ing by the city causes much complaint,
and because the city has no means of
ascertaining the cost, and because if
the bid for gas covers the entire cost
per lamp, it is more easy to make
comparison with the bids for electric
lighting. Whether or not the con-
tractor could receive his pay if 10 per
cent of additional lights were ordered
would depend on the price bid The
probability is, however, that in one
year not over 1 per cent would be add
ed, and even if there were a deficiency
at the end of the year it could be pro-
vided for in next years budget"

Just after starting this sale or about
five weeks ago, l selected and took to
our rooms at the hotel, a choice New
Scale Kimball upright piano
in beautifully figured, quarter
sawed English oak case, for
here, but we have been 50 busy in this
sale that we have not had time to even
put our fingers on the instrument ex-
cept Sunday. This piano was selected
out Of nearly hundred for its light
repeating action and beautiful singing
tone, and is perfect gem"
This instrument is worth and regu-
larly retails for $3.50. 1t cost our house
to build, 1925
1t will be rolled on the wareroom
floor this morning at 10 o'clock, and
will be offered for sale for $220-$8 less
than 1T cost to build-and as this piano
has been five weeks at our rooms,
though never used, 1 will make the
buyer a present of the finest stool and
silk plush scarf in the house, and which
will cost just as much as the return
freight would be to the factory.
This Is the only instance in the en-
tire sale that stool and cover is
included with the piano at cost of the
instrument. VIII make terms of $25
down and $40 a month. The great sale
is now at an end, and with this instru-
ment ends possibly forever your last
and only chance to secure that which
hundreds have done during this sale
(and hundreds of others should have
done)-a choice piano without pay
ing tribute to any man. Though last,
but not least, this is the greatest
bargain of the entire sale, and a per-
feet gem.
There will be dozens after this in
strument so If you want it, be on hand
promptly at 10 a. m. today, in ware
room, 140 and 142 East Sixth street.
