THAT BARE WIRE FENCE

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT No doubt the
person who put up that barb wire fence
On the south side OF the street between
Broad and Cass streets, didn't know what
a danger and nuisance it would prove
to the public, or lie would not have done
so.
Already number OF dresses have been
torn by it. On windy day the side
walk is very dangerous for lady, for
tile walk is narrow and flanked by a
ditch which makes the danger double,
for, in trying to keep away from the
barbs she may tumble into the ditcIr.
There is no sidewalk on the opposite
side Of the street, so that If lady doesn't
care to face the barbed wires she has
"IIobson's choice of walking in the mud
III the road or on the other side of the
street. The little boys and girls who use it
with their bikes do so at risk Of their ewes
and limbs.
At night, this walk, being poorly light
ed, is very dangerous for an old person
or for anybody with poor eyesight.
The barb wire fence is highly ohjec-
tionabe, needless menace to persons and
property and should not be allowed in a
town or city, and we feel sure after atten-
ton is called to tie fact, this one will be
removed without needing the action of
the Town Commissioners who, we are
informed caused to be removed former
fence OF this kind set up within town
limits. We are informed on the author
ity OF former town commissioner that it
is against the town law.
PICKET FENCE.

WATER AND LIGHT RATES INCREASED

another column will be found
the advertisement of the Lighf
and Water Commission announc
ing a decided advance in the
rates charged for Light and
Water. This, while it is matter
entirely within its power and
discretion will be received with
much kicking by the consumers.
We do not think the Commission
gives a reasonable excuse for its
action, nor can it be defended by
saying that our rates have been
much lower than is charged in
other towns The.town, through
the Commission, is engaged in
the business of selling light and
water. Like any other business
enterprise, the selling price
should be the cost of production
plus such profit as is deemed
necessary or right, how much it
costs some other person in the
same line of business but not a
competitor to manufacture and
sell his product has no bearing
on the question.
Had the Commission announc-
ed its new rates with the state
ment that the plants were not
self sustaining or that they
were not paying profit enough,
there would then only remain the
question of discretion, as there is
no appeal from its decision.
The consumers must pay the
price or go without. But the
first claim could not be truth
fully urged, as the reports issued
from year to year have shown
that the plants are practically
self supporting, the light plant
showing profit each year that
has more than made good the
loss on water. 1t is true that no
money has been paid to the
town as net earnings, because
the profits have been used in
extension. The Light plant
has been duplicated, and the
many thousands Of dollars have
been expended in improving the
water supply, all Of which it has
been confidently stated and be-
lieved were at an end.
When the present rates were
established, coal and all other
items of operation Except labor)
were much higher than at pres
ert, while the gross income was
less than half Of that Of today.
With larger business, and less
ened cost, no good reason ap-
pears for an increase in price.
With Q tax rate of S1.40, we fear
that the advance at this time is
unwise and will result in de-
creased use Of both Light and
Water, as the only excuse left is
the desire for more profit, and
people generally will not pay
high prices for luxuries.

BEER IN POLITICS

The Morning NeaCs and EUerg
EUening are just now engaged in
a discussion of the use Of Stree
beer" at political meetings, the
latter particularly trying to
create the impression that it is
purely a Republican custom,
while the former admits that
both parties are equally guilty.
Unfortunately, there is too much
Of "free beer, &c" in politics, but
we are sure that there is much
less Of it to-day than there was
twenty years ago. The writer
knows, as does everyone who has
observed political events, that it
was formerly the custom for can
didates to attend ward, hundred
and district meetings which were
almost invariably held in a hotel,
and were expected to stand treats
for all in attendance. o-day,
such meetings are held in club
houses or public halls and the
presence of liquor is the excep-
ton and not the rule. The fact
that the press discusses the mat
ter is evidence Of the truth of
this statement. Twenty years
ago it was too much a matter Of
course to be mentioned. In less
than twenty years more, none
will be used. Then politics will
be better. As an illustration Of
the old method, a prominent poll
tician, since deceased, frequently
explained the method formerly in
vogue of handling the doubtful
vote. The day before the gen.
e-al or primary election they
were corralled in a barn or
other convenient place, whiskey,
beer, cigars and cards furnished
and when thoroughly under con-
troll, were taken to the polls in
punches and voted 1t was some
times necessary to start work
three or four days before the
election The present system
with all its vices is immeasur-
ally superior
