THE QUESTION IS
 BEING DISCUSSED Mayors Recommendations on
 Municipal Ownership. EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION Business Men and Citizens Generally Talk Freely-Mayor Baar ot Grand
 Haven, Mich, Tells What
 His Town Has Done
EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION

Apropos of the question of municipal water and light plants, as recommended by Mayor Drennen in his annual message to the city council on last Wednesday night, many citizens have expressed themselves.
 Many leading citizens have personally called upon the mayor to commend the position he has taken, and to give him as- surances of their hearty approval and CO., operation in the matter.
 The question has been the principal topic of conversation among business men and citizens generally. and a large majority is favorable to the carrying out of the mayor s recommendations under feasible condi- tions.
 Mayor Jacob Baar, of Grand Haven, Mich, who is in the city. and who is g strong advocate of municipal ownership, has the following to say of his own town, where the principle has been put into prac- tfce:
 About three years ago the cdty of Grand Haven, Mich, which has 1000 population, decided by a vote of the people to discon- tinue lighting the city under a contract with a private corporation and put in a plant ito be operated under the board of public works, consisting of five members, as au- thorlZed by our city charter.
 ''The city prior to this time was paying s60 Der light moonlight schedule, for arc lights on our streets. The city plant was built and its success and benefits to the people have been remarkable.
 '"The total cost of the plant was s20, ,000 allowing per cent. upon the investment and allowing ' per cent. for annual depre- citation.
 After the first years operation the ac- tual cost under municipal ownership, the cost of arc lights on our streets re- duced from $60 to a little over s32 per an- mum, all night system; at the same time this was done by giving to the people, private consumers, electric lights in their homes at the low price of 4-10 cents per lamp per month, sixteen candle power, one hundred voltage.
 ''The above cost of electric light is &C., tually only a trifle more than by lighting with kerosine oil.
 ''The price of gas supplied by private corporation since then has been reduced from $2 to $1.25. The people of Grand Haven today are unanimously in favor of municipal ownership, and they now enjoy

 Some Expressions
 A number of citizens were seen yester- day by reporters of the Age-Herald re- garding the mayors recommendations, and expressed themselves as follows;
 NAIlEFAN L. MILLER, Au.orney-I am in favor of municipal ownership of water works and Tight plants. l am in favor or the city purchasing the plants now in op- eration M they can be bought for talr price; if that cannot be done, then the clty should build plants of its own and oper- ate them on strictly business prlncipies The faol that the city is not flush finan- caally is no good reason for not owning its own plants. Poverty frequently makes the making of a good trade a necessity.
 HUGH MORROW, Attorney-I have al ways been in favor of the city owning Its water and lighting plants.
 J. MORGAN SMITH President Birming- ham Lumber Company-1 would certainty be opposed to the city purchasing gas ana water works in its present state or finances, and I don't know that 1 would favor N if the city had plenty of money, because 1t would create more offices and offer more chances for corruption. l think prdvate corporations who have their own money invested pay more attention to uae busi- ness than would city officials The thing for the city to do is to have good con tracts with these corporations and hold them strictly up to the agreements. think the charges we have to pay for gas and water now are too much. Still, Uhink this matter can be remedied in a business manner without city ownership of these properties.
 K. N. CULLOM, President Alabama Trust and Savings Company-I see no reason why municipal owners ship of water and gas companies should not be made profitable to the city as well as to private corpora tlons, and see no reason why they could not be run free of politics.
 SOL HAAS, President Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron HCompany-I think municipal ownership of water and gas companies all Tight if the city is able to pay for the property. These necessities the people ought ito have at the lowest possible price.
 SAMUEL ULLMAN, Life Insurance Agent-I am heartily in sympathy with the movement to bring about municipal ownership of the wa ter and lighting plants. 1 have for a long time considered the sub ject and am sure they could be as cheaply operated by the city as by private corpora tions and they need not become agencies of corruption.

The morning after the Whitetield-Carresle

MANY HOMES.
Soon Mrs. Carnegie found herself at
the head of a London house; and when
a little daughter came three years ago
to bless this family of wealth, there
was some uncertainty as TO where she
should be raised.
Mrs Carnegie had always retained
love of her native land. and when Mr.
Carnegie decided to build home In
New York, she was overtoyed- About a
wear ago the tlantsomest building site
in Gotham was selected and plans were
drawn up for house which. should
cover thirty city lots and which, stand
