have representative here gathering
doto for an extensive volume devoted
to the representative citizens of this
has examined the plan on which these
works are gotten up, and it is impressed
with the conviction that theirs is the
only true method by which work of
genuine merit can be produced. In
former works none but persons who
We're willing to pay were given a place
IN them. But the plan upon which
the Chapmans work gives the people
what they are entitled to without max
ing any charge for the matter publish
ed. They produce works of merit and
depend solely on the sale of them for
their remuneration. When citizens
are called upon they should give all the
information possible 50 that the town
may have Il complete and valuable
representation Of its current personnel
to hand down to the next generation.
How Comparisons Work Sometimes.
Among the marvellous notions of
electric lighting prodigality abroad
outside as we'll as in Frostburg, the
latest comes from Oakland, where the
people have voted for an issue of bonds
whose proceeds will build four plants
like that in Frostburg.
And the vote shows that these four
plants are wanted to furnish light for
about $40 people.
Now, then, if it is an Oakland au-
thorlty who is furnishing some Frost
burg literature on "Street Lighting"
let us try the 'Rule of Three" on what
Frostburg should have, according to
the Oakland schedule
$40 1855 : {: S25, 900 $ll5,S24
That means that if Oakland requires
a plant costing $4,000 Frostburg
needs one rating at 81 l5,S24
This will probably clarity the reason
why the Oakland idealist compared
Frostburg with New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia.
But as things are as they are, it was
mistake for our company, while at
it, to be content with 5-year contract,
for at the current rate of profit it will
take Is years to clear $ll5,000
Indeed, it will be all that Is MAYORS
and 81 Councilmen can do to hold the
company down to the $1l5 200 figure.
The vote in Oakland for bonds was
no: against is, and it is believed all
over that town as far out as Switton's
Hutch that the no ayes We're unjugged
and the is nays "unjuggled.'
