The suggestion of Charles Finley Smith,
chief owner of the Martinsville Electric
road that his company may generate cleo
tricity at the coal mines and transmit it
over the company's wires to Indianapolis,
puts in new form a proposition that has re-
ceived not little attention from some of
the larger manufacturers of the city. Last
winter. when the shortage of coal. due to
lack Of transportation facilities, was keep
ing them on the ragged edge of a shutdown
day after day, a number of local manufac-
turers began to study the proposition of
owning their own coal supply, they were.
of course confronted with the problem of
them to the subject of electrical transmits
sion of power.
Electrical transmission for even longer
distances than from the Indiana coal fields
to Indianapolis has been proven feasible in
water-power development. both in the United
States and abroad, but it has as yet been
little in the matter of develop
ment of the power to be trans
mitted by steam. 1t is not this.
however, that has deferred local manufac-
turers from generating their own electricity
with coal and steam at the mines, but
rather the first cost of the transmission
plant. This would involve obtaining
right of way. erecting a line of poles and
stringing them with wire. and the constant
employment of linemen for repair work and
some kind of patrol along the line Despite
this very expensive obstacle, however, it is
still an open question with some of the In
dianapolis corporations that have bought
coal mines for their own use. An electric
road running to the mines must have all
this for its ordinary purpose. 1t would have
to use high voltage to deliver current for
manufacturing purposes here, and might
have to string additional wires, but it al
ready has the right of way, the poles and
the organization for keeping the line in re-
pair. A proposition that might not pay at
all for single manufacturing plant might
pay handsomely for corporation that could
thus work Ii in with its other business and
sell power to many consumers.

persistent in seeking to create the impress
sion that the Council committee charged
With investigating the affairs of the office
Of City Clerk Elliott does not mean to dis
charge its duty in good faith. and insinu-
atoms and innuendocs are freely employed
IN efforts to make the public be-
11eve that the committee is inclined to do
something less than its duty. Whether
there is any basis for this prejudgment re-
mains to be seen. Mr.. Elliott is himself
entitled TO full and explicit report. for If
no fault Is found he will be benefited there
by. while anything less than a complete re-
port may create the impression that some

viduaI. are entitled to a full report from
this committee. so they may know all the
facts connected with Mr. Elliott's manage
ment OF the financial affairs OF the office.
