Fell from His Balloon.

Prof. Philips, the aeronaut, who was
to make the ascension here July and
4, fell from his balloon at Culver
Sunday, breaking his leg and throw
ing his wrists out of joint. 1t seems
that as the balloon started to ascend, he
was thrown toward the Colorado hotel
and coming in contact with the caves
of the hotel he was knocked from the
trapese, falling distance of fully
forty feet. The excitement of the crowd
was intense, as all thought the accident
would necessarily be fatal. The pro-
fessor was taken to the South Bend
hospital for treatment.

No Field For 1t

In speaking of the failure OF the
North Manchester Leader, publica-
ton that was started at that place two
years ago aid has had a hard struggle
for an existence ever since, the Journal
comments as follows:
There are always people who Will
urge somebody else to go into business,
but experience has shown that these
people very often have no patronage to
give to sustain the enterprise. The dry
goods man may not care how many
printing offices there are, but he does
not vast any more dry goods stores.
The groceryman is satisfied to see more
dry goods houses started, but he does
not want any more groceries. The
printer may be pleased to see every
other kind of business multiplied, but
he does not want any more printing
offices, and so it goes all through the
list. 1t is just as sensible proposition
to start two or three more stores here
In any line of business as it is TO start
another newspaper, and 1t is fact that
a man can "bust up" in the newspaper
business just as well as in anything
else. We do not mean to infer that Mr..
Mckee has busted up" for such is not
the case. He has simply recognized the
inevitable fact that there is no field for
the paper here and has had the good
sense to cease its publication rather
than to hang on to losing business un-
til such a condition might arise"

CITY and Rural Press.

The city daiies often poke fun OF the
country press for the trivial matters
that often appear in the local columns
bat if the country editor printed one
half the bosh that appears in the city
papers he would be run out of town on
a rail. No matters 80 sacred but are
ridiculed, no family so secluded but that
their private matters are brought out
before the public and dIlsted upon, no
man so honorable but what if it suits
the idea of the publisher his name is
made by word, and no man so indecent
but that he is made paragon of virtue
if the best good of the papers demands
it. Let the city press reform and then
it will be proper for them to criticlse

Taxpayer on Electric Lights


To the Editor: Under the PROPOSE
ton now before the city council it will
cost the city $1,000 year to light the
streets, all night, being SO lamps at $75
each, which is as low as any city of this
class is paying so far as l know. The
proposed rates for commercial lighting
are also very low compared with the
rates prevailing elsewhere. This would
indicate that the profits in the business
are not inordinate. Private owners of
such plants, to be successful, must make
a profit out of the public contracts as
well as out Of the private lighting or else
increase the rates to private consumers.
And there would be no object in taking
public contract without profit. If
the city buys the plant and Undertakes
to do its own lighting it must do so up
on the theory that the private cOnsum
ers will pay all the expenses of the bust
ness and enough more to save the $1,000
now paid yearly or the quarter part of
it, else the city ownership would be in
vain.
The city would have to make an in
vestment of $4,000 to $4,000 paying
interest thereon, and it is constant
heavy drain to keep such plant from
running down so as to lessen the quail
ity of the light furnished. The private
consumers would have to pay enough
to cover the salaries of skilled men, the
fuel, the supplies constantly required,
the improvements on the plant from
year to year, the interest on the
Indebtedness, an annual payment on
the principal, and the $500 now paid
by the city for public lighting, which by
the way is for lightiig only until mid
night. The expense for running such
a plant is always greater under city
ownership than to private owners. In
addition to this, the city would have to
assume all risks by fire, accident, mis-
management, and possibly loss of pri-
vate consumers due to the introduction
of improved or cheaper lights. Is it
good business to undertake all this !?
The writer is one who thinks not. He
does not believe that the tax payers are
ready to assume the risk of an increased
tax, or that the consumers of electric
lights can be relied upon to pay an in
creased rate, and one or the other would
be inevitable. Nor does he believe that
the public can afford for so small pos
sibe saving to assume all risks incl
dent to so large business.

SHOULD CITY BUY ELECTRIC PLA nj :?

The Independent, always in the
lead, has given the people the benefit
of its usual sagacity in discussing
city affairs and it has with its usual
courage taken up the question of
municipal ownership of the electric
light plant, now of such great inter
est, and given it fair and full consid-
Grafton. The editorial printed in
our columns yesterday has attracted
wide attention among our citizens
and has served to bring out many
expressions as to the desiraoility and
feasibility of the city doing its own
public and commercial lighting. The
general view is as we stated yester-
day that if the city can acquire the
present plant at sufficiently low
figure and can then operate it so as
to give a frst-class light at a less
cost than can be contracted for with
private owner, the plan is a good
one, but if this cannot be done with
a reasonable degree of certainty,
then it is prudent to let the private
owners carry all the risk OF fire, &C
cidents and management. And in
this connection it was pointed out
by leading citizen that in this era
of invention and progress it is quite
possible that some system may be
installed whereby better lights than
are now given by the electric system
may be had at much less cost than
the present rates for electric lights,
and the plant thus lose its CONNER
cial business and incur heavy loss
which the city would have to suffer
if it should be the owner.
We have made some inquiry as
to the financial aspect of the matter.
The appraised value for taxation in
Plymouth is slightly less than ST.
100000, and thus the constitutional
limit of Indebtedness is less than
$4,000, being per cent. The pres
ent Indebtedness is about S., 200 or
little over that, leaving a magin
of about $4,000 that can vet be as
sumed. Less than $4,000 cash is
on hand and the money is practically
all in until taxes fall due next spring.
And out of this, maturing bonds and
interest, about $4,000, must be paid,
leaving less than 5000 for ali ex-
penses for the fiscal year ending next
April which is not enough. Money
will have to be borrowed, in all like
ihood before the end of the wear
and common business prudence sug-
gests that there may be some emer-
gency such as an accident to the
water works, judgment for DANA
ges, etc., and with this in view the
city should retain a margin of safety
of al least $4,000 for possible ext
gencies. Taking this out of SIo,-
900 that might now be borrowed
only 10000 is left for the purchase
of the lighting plant, and if that
amount Is exhausted for the purpose
