Two Plans for Rebuilding City
Plant.
ONE is FOR NEW OUTFIT
Other Provides for an Entire
Reconstruction.
This Would Cost SlO2, 500, the
Other $4,000.

1t will cost $67.08 per lamp per year
for an all night service every night in
the year under an estimate furnished
by w K. Brill, electrical consulting en-
gtneer, engaged by the city to furnish
estimates for the reconstruction of the
present plant.
The report has been filed with Mayor
W. H. Davis and it will be presented to
the council Monday evening. The re-
port covers two different phases of re-
construction, one partial and the
other a complete reconstruction both
OF the plant and the lines.
The first named calls for an ex-
penditure of SIS, 1850, the last $1O2, 500.
The recommendation which the re-
port makes IS for the last named Mr..
Brill states that the only method which
would prove satisfactory for the city

the present plant. which he character

good value for the money invested in It.

GET FOOTBALL MONEY.
WasIlbuIn's share Of Oklahoma Re
ceipts Attached

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. 30
Just before the football game between
Washburn and the University of Okla
homa started on Thursday afternoon,
garnishment proceedings on the gate
receipts. The complaining witness
was Ralph Moore, Manager Of the
Hall Book and Stationery company, of
Topeka. The writ was issued on an
old note which was given by the old
Washburn Athletic association before
1t was Incorporated under the state of
Kansas. The present Wash burn man
agement had agreed to pay the note
but on account of the poor attendance
at the games this year has not as yet
been able to do so. w. S. McClintOck
of Topeka is acting as the attorney for
the Hall company and Washburn Is
represented by J. S. Twyford, a Wash
burn graduate. who Is now practicing
law in Oklahoma City. The writ upon
which the garnishment was made ex-
pired yesterday and on this fact the
Washhurn team hopes to get money
enough to come home on.
w. s McClintock, the Topeka at
torney for Ralph Moore, said today in
explaining the action taken against
the Washburn football management:
about three years ago. the Hall
Stationery company extended credit to
the Washburn Athletic association In
the sum of $500 for the purchase Of
football equipment That debt has
never been paid. About a year ago,
the hill was converted into a promis
sorry note, and Mr.. Moore purchased
this note from the Hall company. He
has been trying to collect his money
during the present season At the time
of the K. U.-Washburn game, the re-
ceipts were about $1,000. and he tried
to get at least q partial payment on
our note The Washburn mana cement
refused to pay anything. claiming that
the salary Of the coach, the training ta-
Bile expenses and other items should
first be paid out of the receipts. Fail
ing to get any settlement. we sent our
note to w. c. Hughes, an attorney al
Oklahoma City. instructing him to take
such action to collect as he deemed
best. I suppose from what I have
heard that he attached the receipts, but
1 have heard nothing wha from
Oklahoma City since We sent the note
there to Mr.. Hughes"
w. s. McClintock is an old Washburn
student, and ]. s. Twyford, who is rep
resenting the other side Of the case, is
also a former Washburn man.

The cost of $67.0S for operating as fig
ured on the basis of the above recon
struction plan takes in the these items
along with the above expenditure and
the interest on the investment is hgur-
ed on a base assuming an investment

Five per cent on an investment, with
s per cent figured as the annual depre-
citation of the plant and running ex-
pense for labor, fueE and the other an

The removal from etlle alresent Ioca-
ton is not advisable says Brill. He
considers the present site as central as
could =be desired and does not think
that any advantage would be derived in
shifting the location to the old water
works plant at the foot of Harrison
street and condemns a plan for moving
says a new building would have to be
built and where it would not be cen
trally located.
The use of gas engines to generate
electricity is not endorsed in the re-
port The life of natural gas is guess
and it would probably be necessary to
use. artificial gas or resort to the manu-
facture of gas from coal at the plant
in case of the exhaustion of the nat
ural product These two factors would
make it Improbable. Gas at ten cents
would be cheaper than coal, says Brill
but in view of the fact that it is I'M
certain and that but 23 per cent of the
cost of operation is chargeable to the
fuel bills he recommends coal.
An estimate covering a smaller. scope
and intended to take care of the needs
of the city for a few years only was
submitted upon special request.
This would make. use of the present
dynamos and would other ways practi-
cally make use of the conditions sur
rounding the plant at present to as far
an extent as possible.
The open arc lamps would have to
be used under this plan even though
the city is now using about so enclosed
lamps The enclosed is considered
cheaper to operate and is the modern
type but Brill claims that the city
could not Use many more of the en-
closed on the present dynamos with
coed results in connection with the last
estimate Of reconstruction which would
leave the dynamos now In use in ser
The smaller estimate follows:
1T is our opinion that using the old
engine dynamo outfit and adding to it
necessary capacity to take care of 200
additional lamps will not prove salts

STUDY OF MISSION FIELDS.
Meeting at Trinity M. E. Church
Discussion of Various Tonnes

Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, 9Th
and Pennsylvania avenue southeast, was
the scene yesterday of four religious meet
ings for a, study of Mission Fields" con-
Quoted by Mrs. Bouts. The topic for the
first hour was Uganda, in East Africa,
which was the scene OF Stanley's travels
and for whose people he appealed after his
return for the sending of missionaries for
their Characterization. Madagascar and
Zanzibar were also spoken of at length by
the leader. The former was referred to as
the paradise of botanists and the latter as
the country where the place of the old slave
market and the whipping post are now
marked by beautiful cathedral, where the
reading of the Bible is eagerly listened to
and where people learn of the true God and
the Christ which the Bible reveals.
The second hour of the meeting was de-
voted to Home Missions" the subject be-
ing discussed by Miss Mary A Malone.
who is one of the home mission organizers
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Miss
Malone during the course of her remarks
gave most interesting story of the work
and its needs in the west and south where
some of the best ministers are working for
little or nothing. An appeal for the co.ored
children of the south was also made Hun
dreds of these children, it was stated, are
being turned away from the schools on ac-
count of the fact that they are unable to
pay for the tuition.
Luncheon was served, after which the
members of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union discussed ways and means
for advancing the work of charity in this
city. 1t was decided to give dinner on
Easter Sunday to the girls of the Ciitten-
ton Home.
The last hour was in the interest OF
foreign missions. Nineteen new members
were reported and a letter from little or
phan in China, who is being supported by
the society was also read. Contributions of
dolls toys. handkerchiefs and other gifts
were solicited for the Christmas boxes
which will be shipped in May to the little
folk on the other side of the ocean.
