President Scott, OF Hancock, made the
News a very pleasant call yesterday
afternoon, during the conversation the
subject of his hobby, Hancock owning
aR electric light plant, naturally came to
the surface; he said some people wished
him TO let the matter drop, this he could
not now do without stultifying himself,
which, OF course, he had no intention OF
dung, the issue upon which he was
elected by such rousing majority being
that an investigation should take
pace.
Mr.. Scott pointed out the necessary
procedure under the village law OF 1895
which says that the village council shall
first declare the expediency OF purchasing
or erecting an electric light plant, the
council arc then to procure an estimate
OF the expense thereof and the question
OF raising the amount necessary for such
purpose must then be submitted to the
people and shall be determined as two
thirds Of the electors voting at such cleo
ton by ballot may decide.
Under the above guards the question
cannot be decided in moment OF excite
Enent, as even at the last it will require
a two-third vote. II such vote is OBJ
tanned it will show most conclusively
that the people. although very many oil
them will not really be interested in a
pecuniary way in the matter, as they
may neither pay taxes or use the light,
stand behind Mr.. Scott.
As the mattercan be rushed through
in hurry there will be plenty of time for
the Iightites and anti.lghtites to explain
To the voters their respective views.
The News thinks the people should have
some respect for the present company
which has considerable capital invested
in it's plants. On the other hand the
comDany should respect the rights OF the
people, by Crying them light at iair
profit only, but, under any circumstance,
let the fight, il there is to be one, take
place in all harness and have no squelch-
ing attachment to it.
