TOWN RUNS ITSELF.
Citizens Have Paid No Taxes for
More Than a Dozen Years.

Silverton, Colo, June 25.-(Special.)-
This village of 1000 people is popularity
konwn throughout the country as the
town that runs itself" Its citizens have
paid no city taxes for more than a dozen
years, yet the town is one of the most
prosperous in Colorado, and last year
had an income of more than $4,000 above
all running expenses.
It's entire revenues come from liquor
licenses and water and light rentals.
and the success of municipal ownership
here is such that the citizens would not
go back to the era of private public SER
vice corporations under any circumstan-
ces Two years ago the lca21 lighting
plant was purchased from the corporation
which owned 1t.
Last year it showed a gross income of
A7965.4o. including $500 which the town
charged itself for street lighting Its op-
Grating expenses were $14, SSS. IS. The
towns income for water rentals during
the same period was $l0.OO947, and from
saloon licenses S14122. The total receipts
from all sources We're 1853. 40, an actual
surplus over the towns running expenses

plus was expended in additions to the
towns water system, which is valued at
approximately $4,000. The lighting plant
is appraised at $4,000. The later is now
furnishing four times the amount of
current produced at the time of it's pur-
chase by the city two years ago, the
abnormal increase being due to the excep-
tionally low price of current Light rem

any other city in the west, the minimum
charges being S1.50 per month. with me-
ter service. subject TO a discount of 25
per cent if paid when due. The discount
on water rentals is 10 per cent.
Under the charter the mayor and the
aldermen act as board of managers for
both the water and lighting plants Not
breath of scandal has ever tainted their
efforts in this direction, though it is re-
cosnized here that a change in the sta
tutes which would take the management
entirely out of politics would be an i'm
provement on the present system.

BELIEVE PEACE Is PROBABLE
That the War Will End During the
Present Month.

Berlin, April 5.-Peace at an early
date is regarded as probable by the
German embassy at st. Petersburg. the
Associated Press is informed, and in
consequence of dispatches received
from there by the government during
the last three days this opinion cifcl-
lates in official circles for the first time
since the war began.
The Russian Emperor it is true, mas
not yet decided for peace, but the grant
dukes and all or practically all of the
members of the court who have access
to the Emperor for peace. His males-
esty is described in the gossip that
goes about here as standing alone reso-
lutely The considerations that still de-
| lay his decision are personal ones, ne
feeling that his reign is failure IL
Russia does not wni the war and that
| his prestige as a sovereign will be lest
at home and in foreign countries, but he
cannot vet bring himself to speak tie
word that will set the peace negotia-
tions in motion. Much good will aud
sympathy are felt for the Russian EIn'
| peror in higher official life here, bn
| it is regarded as a certainty that ne
must yield to his family and minister
| and that the month will not end with
out peace In the meantime the pros
pect of peace and the incerutude O
the Emperor weakens the military ad
ministration and delays the execution
of plans for fresh armies and the ga-h
ering of new supplies.
