Municipal Ownership.

Another important question is that
of municipal ownership, which, while as
vet limited generally to the constTuc-
ton and operation by municipalities of
plants for public lighting is more than
likely to result in the general attempt
to engage in private commercial light
ing. in aid of the public lighting
BY way of seIf-prOtectiOn the cen
trail station should more than live up
to- the obligation of its franchises;
should furnish public lighting at rea-
sonabIe rates and serve the public SO
well that any agitation started for pO-
IiticaI OF. personal ends will not receive
the support of a justly indignant pub
lie.
LAS the basis of the argument in ia
vor of municipal ownership is largely
that of reduction i'm the cost of public
lighting to the taxpayer, we should be
prepared to answer this cIaim-aS can
be done-by the concrete results of the
operations of existing municipality OPP
Grated plants.
while not strictly within the OBJ
iects of the association, il would be well
for our. members to consider the advis-
ability of consolidating the street rail-
ways gas and electric companies in
any locality. as not only would the
puhIic be better served. but the total
investment would be more stable and
the results equally satisfactory
President Davis announced that the
total membership Of the association IS
now So4. ds compared with 5S3 one year
ago.
A number Of papers on technical sub
ieCts were read at the sessions today.

PLANS FOR MORE PAVING.

Be Improved.
Fourth South street is to be paved
from West Temple to Second East
street State street is also to be
paved from Fourth to Fifth South

made by Mayor Richard 2. Morris on
his return from New York The city
and county control the situation Sd
far as this paving is concerned The
frontage on the two sides Of the city
and county building IS one-third OF the
entire frontage involved. OF course.
many Of the regular property owners
are strongly in favor OF the improve
ment, and the understanding IS that
there viii be little OF no opposition
from any quarter
The significance OF this improve
meut lies largely in the great attTaC-
tiveneSs it viii add to the city and
county building. With this paving on
the north and west sides Of the build
ing. with all the walks in the ground
paved with asphalt, and with gener-
Gus sidewalks Of cement around the
entire block outside the box hedge It
is thought the beauty Of the public
square will be enhanced many per
cent
The city fs expected to take the in
itiative in this paving project Before
his departure for the east Mayor Nor
ris had a conference with the county
authorities and found them ready to
join in the work It is expected that
the city and county viii publish its
intention to pave, and following this

ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT Err
NEST n. DAVIS.

NEWER. Colo. June 6--PTesident
Ernest H. Davis of the National
Light association, in his address
at the opening of the associations
twenty-eighth annual convention in this
city today. urged the managers of the
lighting companies to be reasonable in
their charges and faithful in observing
the terms of their franchises. He said,
in part.
The one great and constant menace
to the industry is unwise, bUrdensome
and restrictive legislation by the mu-
nicipality and the state The right to
tax is the power to destroy. The pow
er to regulate contains the germ of the
danger of confiscation, in whole or in
part. The regulation of the industry
by a commission with powers such as
are invested in the gas and electric
commission of the state of Massac hU-
sets may be proper and satisfactory
as safeguarding both the right of the
public and of the investor. But regula-
ton by "A commission brought into be
ing by a manufactured public senti-
ment and having its inception in poll
tics. and not primarily or honestly in
tended to remedy any admitted public
oppression. or to properly regulate the
use Of public franchises. cannot be fair
either to the public or to the investor,
and must result in gross injustice to the
industry

the request of the Russian admiral for

the matter is not entirely determined,

said:
When the battle commenced was
far in advance of the main fleet. en-
gagged in scouting with the Oleg. Au-

boats appeared in numbers, supported
by a few cruisers. A heavy engage
ment followed Ny ships were mainly
painted black and white. and stood out
large targets against the japanese
ships, which were painted an olive
green color, and which could hardly be
seen. Owing to the incessant fire which
the japanese concentrated on my flag
ship, the Oleg. I transferred my flag TO
the Aurora. From her bridge I could
not see our main fleet, and believing it
had been defeated and had been scat
tered, I decided for the sake Of human
fly to retire"

more have been sent to the northeast
