OUR ELECTRIC PLANT.
ITS FUTURE OUTLOOK

The proposition to be decided at
Marshield this evening by the COM
mon council Of that city is one that
furnishes food for thought not only to
the people of Marshfield but to the
citizens of Grand Rapids as well. As
a business proposition it lies entirely
between the company to be organized
at MarShfield and the Consolidated
Water Power & Paper Company, of
this city, and is without doubt a good
deal for both parties concerned. If
Grand Rapids as city were securing
it's light by water power from the
Wisconsin river either through owner
ship or by contract with the Consoli-
dated Water Power s. Paper
Company then this deal with
Marshfield would attract but little
attention, but with our electric plant
running entirely by steam power and
with the fact looking us square in the
face that as the years go by and fuel
becomes more scarce the lights will
cost us more instead of less. Is it not
wise to make some provision for the
future?
1t means something to furnish
Marshfeld with 500 electric horse
power for ten years when it will leave
less than 300 horse power to induce
shops and manufacturing plants to
locate here.
If Marshfeld can afford to pay more
for this 500 horse power for ten years
than the same was offered to Grand
Rapids and if this city can afford to
furnish us light by steam power at a
cheaper rate than Marshfeld pays the
Consolidated Company, besides
expending $50. 900, for the line between
here and Marshtield and $4,000 for
storage battery to be located at
Marshfie1d. making s65, 1000 in all,
then there are facts on the inside of
this matter that it is not easy for an
outsider to comprehend.
There is, however, a proposition on
foot fer this city to secure 100 electric
horse power from the Consolidated
Company, but nothing definite has
been done as yet along this line. Yet,
it is quite plain that the Consolidated
Company prefer to have their entire
power utilized in this city.
There is doubtless one thing at
least on which we all agree and that
is that transportation and power are
the principal requirements for secur-
ing shops and manufacturing plants
to locate in our city.
The Consolidated Company has
installed this immense electric power
at great cost and it is but natural
that it should seek immediate and
permanent employment for it.
The REPORTER is not disposed to
offer undue criticism in regard to this
matter. We only regret that Grand
Rapids has taken no more interest in
securing manufacturers to utilize a
part at least of this immense power
and we are strong in the faith that a
reasonable amount of legitimate
advertising would go far towards
accomplishing this end.

The grounds which the court took in
making the decision was that the ques-
ton at issue was a political one and
that it involved no civil or property
rights, and therefore does not come
under the Jurisdiction of a court of
equity. With regard to the reappor-
tiOnment of the First district, by which
an attempt was made to throw Shaw
ness county out of the First district
the court stated that this is a question
for the state courts to settle and not
for federal tribunal. Upon these two
points he based his opinion entirely.
He quoted extensively from authorities
all over the United States, in both federal
and state courts, in defense of his con-
tention that court of chaneery had no
jurisdiction in cases where the issue was
political in its nature and did not involve
civil or property rights. From Justice
