company.
The court discusses the different phases
OF the suit at considerable length and
quotes a number OF decisions and author
tiles He says the unlawful substitution
OF Modox for Moxie is sufficiently proved
Judge Brown says, There is force in the
argument that extraordinary claims and
statements OF marvellous recoveries, and
secrecy as 20 ingredients are such badgers
OF frauds as TO warrant a court OF equity
I'm refusing to extend a presumption OF
good faith TO a complainant and refusing

expert evidence is admissible ia proving

fense has failed 10 prove misrepresenta-

1T Is "A somewhat novel and curious
question" this opinion says whether the
representation as to the curative power
can be regarded as representation
whose truth can be inquired into. IL Is
quite improbable a court OF equity would
allow fraudulent imitators TO raise de-
fence OF false opinion as distinguished
from Misrepresentation OF fact.

MUNICIPAL
LIGHTING
PROBLEM

mo matter what way you figure or
which way you look at IT, Providence
gets it's electric lights cheaper than Chi
plant" said Mayor Reynolds today. as he
was explaining why he Is in favor OF
making a new three years contract for
city lighting with the Narragansett tlec-
trio Lighting company.
He quoted figures TO show that for the
past 13 years Providence has averaged
about J25 light and Chicago has paid
$165 62 for like period.
Chicago Is apparently getting lights for
S62 .0S, when I'm reality with the items
for insurance, interest and depreciation
are added the city pays S99.sO. IL costs
Providence really but S76 light accord
ing to the mayors figures. for when the
proportion OF the franchise tax, the com
pany's water bill and other items are de-
ducted from the $l0950 charged light,
that is all that Is left.
He referred 20 the exposure. OF the err
roneous figures given by the city offi-
cials at Chicago. and said that Mayor
Dunne must have known the hgures he
quoted here last summer did not give the
actual cost Of the lights In Chicago. "A
man who knowingly utters misstatements
does so with purpose" said Mayor
Reynolds.
MANY CONTRACTS NOW.
The city has at present u or Ia different
contracts with the Electric Lighting com
pany for street lights and IT has been the
custom TO make new one every time
additional lights were required.
The mayor does not favor making
new contract for 100 incandescent lights.
but thinks that n blanket contract TO
cover the whole OF the lighting by elec-
triclty should be made. The reason for
the taking the matter up at this time
Lies In the recent resolution passed by the
city council directing the committee on
lamps 20 investigate and report at tho
council meeting next Monday night, he
explained although he disclaimed re-
sponsibility for the resolution.
IF there is any politics I'm the resolu-
tion, ] do not know or IT, for do not
know why Roswell Smith introduced 1t.
/ am in favor OF the contract, how
ever"
The mayor has explained the complca-
tions 10 President Marsden j. Perry OF
the Narragansett Electric Lighting COM
pany, and Mr. Perry was willing TO en-
ter into new contract dating from Jan.
instead OF waiting until June l5.
The mayor was informed that Improve
ments which had made it possible to sell
current at lower prices would be taken
into account and that the new rates would
be lower The proposed arrangement, the
mayor said. will give the taxpayers cheap
er lighting now instead OF next summer
and the saving Is worth considering.
THE cltys representatives" the mayor
continued, will see that the citys rights
are fully protected Whenever II is prac-
ticab1e to sell current at lower prices
than those named In the contract the city
is 10 have cheaper lights.
For some time Mayor Reynolds has
been looking up the municipal owner
ship problem, and he can hardly be said
TO be n convert to II. The city is much
better of without the obligations and
drags OF n municipal lighting plant was
his summing up.
