COMPETITION is COMING.
The Tests Of Motor Cars on the Rich
mond Division Promises Interest
ing Developments.

The fact that the Pennsylvania rail-
road company intends to make a
thorough test of the motor car system
on the Richmond division, indicates
that the time is near at hands when
the interurban lines in many parts of
the country will find active competit-
ion from the bigger railroad lines. AS
now mapped out Richmond will not get
chance to experience the trial re-
suits Of the motor car service, it be-
ing the intention to confine the ex-
periments between Hamilton and Gin
cinnau and New Castle and Elwood.
If the tests prove that the service is
both practicable and profitable, there
is reason TO believe that before a year
passes the motor car service will be
extended to various other parts of the
division and also to other divisions on
the southwest SYSTEM.

Columbus, o., April 16.-According
to an announcement made by w. Yves.
ley Schoepf, of Cincinnati, the Indiana,
Columbus G Eastern Traction Com
pany recently incorporated, will build
a line from Dayton, Ohio, to Rich
mond, Ind, which will parallel the
Dayton & Western. Negotiations for
the purchase of the Dayton & West
ern have been dropped, and arrange
ments for the immediate building o.
parallel line along the National
road are now being made.
The Indiana, Columbus & Eastern
was incorporated at Columbus las
week for the purpose of taking Over
the Tucker-Anthony and Appleyart
lines, recently acquired by the Schoepl
syndicate. These roads extend from
GAINESVILLE, o., westward through Co
lumbus, Springfield and Dayton tt
Richmond, where they connect with
the Indiana properties of the Schoepf
McGowan-D olan syndicate, thus max
ing a through traction line between
Zane sville, O., and Terre Haute. This
will make the longest operating trac
ton company in the country. t.
By building it's own line between
Dayton and Richmond, the corporation
will not have to depend on the Day

DESIRE A WATER
WORKS FRANCHISE
Mayor Tells Council City Can
Get Another Water Works
Company.
LIGHT PLANT OFFERS
THE MAYOR SAYS HE HAS BEEN
APPROACHED WITH PROPOSE
TIoNS FROM SEVERAL SOURCES
STATES HIS POSITION.

Last night at council meeting May
or Zimmerman stated that he had been
the recipient of many inquiries con-
corning the proposed sale of the Mu-
nicipal Light Plant. He also stated
that he had been continually misquot-
ed in the local papers concerning his
attitude on the sale, saying that he
was a municipal ownership man and
would not favor the sale of the plant
unless thorough investigation show
ed that it would be the wisest policy
to dispose of it. His utteIanceS did
not elicit the slightest interest or COM
ment and when he had finished max
ing his statement council at once
turned it's attention to other matters
under discussion.
The mayor said that yesterday he
had been in consultation with a man
outside the city, who represented a
large and wealthy corporation. This
man asked concerning the sale of the
city plant, and Mayor Zimmerman
told him that it was not on the mar
ket, but that an offer had been receiv'
ed, and that an investigation was be-
ing made as to the desirability OF
disposing of the property. According
to the Mayor, this representative stat
ed that his company would like to
make bid for the plant if it was de-
cided to place it on the market.

Asked About Water Works.

DIR. Zimmerman also said that this
same representative asked what
chances his concern would have in
obtaining a water works franchise in
Richmond. The Mayor said he did
not know but that he was of the opin-
ion that another water works COM
pany would be welcomed in this city
if it guaranteed to furnish clean,
, healthful water. Mayor Zimmerman
said that he had received three other
offers for the Municipal Light Plant,
one was from President Winters of
the Dayton & Western Traction COM
pany, enc from a Pittsburg, Pa, con-
Germ and one from a concern in Ala
bama. Speaking on the subject Of
granting a franchise to another water
works company. Mayor Zimmerman
stated that he was a municipal own
ership man, but if the city could not
secure the Richmond City Water
Works Company property, he would
favor the granting of a franchise to
another water works company.
