LIGHTING FRANCHISE
IS TO BE CONSIDERED
Attempt Will Be Made to Get Com
mittee to Act on 1t Monday
Evenino

Another attempt will be made Mon
Ehay by the assembly committee on
streets to consider the request of the
Imperial Manufacturing company for
D. heating and an electric light fran
chise. At all previous meetings the
matter has been continued, but now
some of the members want to take it
hp and dispose of it without delay.
ISimilarly situated is the application
of the Cushing and Cabot syndicate,
which desires permission to cross a
humber of streets with conduits for
the purpose of heating and lighting the
numerous business houses and blocks
that it controls.
The Imperial Manufacturing COM
ipany, which,is bidding for the city at
large, and promises in the event that
1t is given a franchise, to furnish light
and heat at reasonable cost, does not
Jake kindly to the Gushing request, as
it means the removal from competition
Of a valuable portion of the business
district. The st. Paul Gas Company
While so far showing no active part, is
also undoubtedly opposed, as it sees in
the granting of the Cushing applica-
ton a private enterprise that may
eventually grow into a public service
affair This, however, the Cushing
representatives deny, claiming that
they ask for a privilege simply for the
purpose of heating and lighting their
own properties.
The Imperial Manufacturing people
say that ifythe council will give them a
franchise there will be dollar gas in
less than year and that the city will
have it's street lighting done at third
less than it is now paying. 1t proposes
to bid for the street lighting.

Becuse a swamp once existed along

that thoroughfare has sunk between

So marked has been this gradual
9rop in the surface that the street car
company has been compelled to remove

This is being done by excavating the
street to'a depth of over three feet and
Eliing in the space with crushed stone
md Portland cement. AT the same time
The old rails will be torn out and the
new heavy rails substituted.
The street car companys portion of
the street has really suffered more
Ramage than the balance of the thor
Dughfare, because of the heavy and
continued traffic over its rails. In some
pieces the rails have sunk considera-
bly, below the surface Of the street and
this was responsible in a measure for
the bad condition of the asphalt.
oId-Timers Remember It.
The swamp that existed before Fifth
street was built is well known to the
Did timers. Doubt was often expressed
as to whether it could be ever used for
building purposes, but this was finlly
accomplished by the aid of much tim
Der piling and the construction of ex-
trs heavy foundation.
How the ground has settled is evil

EXPECT TO MAKE JOHN w. LUX
PRESIDENT OF STATE GRocERS
Head of ST. Paul Association Is Prom
inent for Office.

Association work is gaining in pop
ularity among tradesmen, and the st.
Paul Retail Grocers' association is its
prophet. That is largely the reason
why a movement has been started and
is becoming very popular to make John
w. Lux president of the st. Paul asso-
citation, president of the state asso-
citation at the next annual meeting.
This suggestion at the special meet
ing Thursday night of the st. Paul Re-
tail Grocers' association was applauded
to the echo.
Another officer of that organization
seems likely to be called up higher.
Fred Mason, secretary of the st. Paul
and also the state association, seems
likely to be chosen secretary Of the
national organization. Both Messrs.
Lux and Mason have been effective as
ISOLATION workers, and their coming
promotion is natural.

johannesburg, Aug. 3.-One might
almost imagine here that we are the
center of the Promised Land and h
4 new Canaan had been born within
the borders of the new century. The
long promised boom has come and t
would seem that railroads and every
thing in the way of development could
rot be provided fast enough for nsw
requirements.
Every steamship, from whatever
quarter of the globe it halls, brings

lieve that since peace has been declar.
ed there is wonderful future ahead

That they are not deluded seems
probable as the activity which is APP
rarent at the mines indicates an m
pr ecedented era of prosperity for the
Transvaal
In spite of a little feeling in regard
to the settlement of the question, which
may merely be considered as an under
current now, the beers are returning
to their homes and are delighted to do
so
They are not feeling bit as badly
about things as some people would
imagine, for they consider that having
acquitted themselves bravely that they
have done the best they possibly coulu

il gs are shared largely by the Dutch
element at the Cape and it is probable
IL at they will be gratified at the earli-
est moment possible by the formation
cf constitution here very much on the
same basis as that of Canada.
OF course the uitlander element is
destined to play large part il the
new formation of things, the incoming
element being very little interested in
Dutch ideals, merely seeming to be
seeking new outlets for enterprise such
as are looked for generally in new
countries.
The policy of the government seems
to meet favor on all sides and it looks
extremely doubtful If the few ''kickers
would be able to maintain their ground
in face of a general prosperity
The most disgruntled people of all

the tax should be leVleu
not on gross returns, but upon net
profits. The proposition is that steps
be taken to benefit mine owners and
mine workers in such a way that they
shall be financially benefited. Import
ant features of the new regulations
are: The abolition of transit dues up
on goods brought through the southern
colonies, an equitable adjustment of
colonial railway rates, reduction OF
the excessive freight charges made by
the Netherlands railway, which is the
short cut to Delagoa Bay and the
sweeping aside of the dynamite mo-
nopoly which has existed for the inter-
ests of purely selfish corporation and
will mean clear saving to the colonies
of three million year.
In face, the economies to be brought
about by the changes in fiscal policy
here will amount collectively to not
less than $1.25 per ton of ore mined.
A prominent capitalist here assured
your correspondent the other day that
| the working cost at the mines will be
reduced practically 25 per cent.
amounting to S1.75 per ton and fiGan-
cial authority here asserts that we may
estimate for the coming year, on these
propositions, net gain (taking the
year 1899 as the most recent calculable
basis) after paying the new profit tax.
OF at least million and half sterling
per year.
Basing the calculations upon this ar
rangement and probable production it
is estimated that within three years
the net saving from the Rand mines
will amount to about three and a nalf
millions sterling. Beyond these net
gains in profits the miens will benefit
from the utilization of low grade ore
which will now be rendered available
for exploitation.
1t is evident from these figures thai
the new tax of ten per cent. upon net
profits can really be increased for the
general benefit if necessary and that
the Transvaal can bear the taxable
burden of the entire confederation if
necessary with profit to itself and
general amelioration OF conditions all
round.
In fact it seems impossible to sua-
gest that the new system will not bene-
mt the many and result in a largely in
creased sphere of prosperity for all
residentials in the colonies.
