palladium SpeciaL1
Losansport, Ind, April 3.-The
Cass county orphans home was al
most completely destroyed by fire
this morning. 1t was a large fine brick
building, valued at $4,000. The in
surance is $5.400, in the National,
Ohio Farmers and the Traders in
surance companies.
Fire was discovered in the roof at
9 a. m, while the children. nineteen
in number. were on the playground.
The building was located on high
bluff north of the city, and on account
of the elevation the fire department
had difficulty in reaching the place.
The water pressure was also low, and
only one line available with which
to fight the flames, otherwise the loss
could have been greatly reduced.
Most of the contents of the building
were saved. The fire is presumed to
have started from a defective flue or
else from electric wires in the attic.
The institution was owned and oper-
ated by the county, with a board of
women managers. The children have
been placed in temporary homes.

LIGHT PLANT SALE.

The proposition which eastern cap
italists have at last submitted in
writing to council In regard to the
sale of the Municipal Light Plant, APP
pears very enticing on it's face. But
casting aside the glamour produced by
the proposals to pay the City for ev-
cry cent of indebtedness entailed by
the plant, together with the promise
not to raise the price of electricity,
but on the other hand holding out
hopes of reduction at the end of ten
years, one cannot but believe that the
corporation offering to take over the
plant, is either going 70 an extreme in
order to show how phiianthropical a
corporation may be, or else there is a
"nigger in the woodpile." And the lat
ter is probably the truth of the case.
The proposition submitted by the
Fasteners implies that the City's
plant is losing money, and states that
the present situation cannot last in
definitely. 1t is safe to assume there
fore that the Light, Heat and Power
Company is losing money and that
1t cannot last indefinitely. II such is
the case, and the corporation now in
control of the Light. Heat and Power
Company sees way to better its con-
dition by purchasing the City's plant
1t would perhaps be wise act on the
part of the City to purchase the
property of the corporation. combin-
ing the two plants under one munich.
pal head. In this event IL the asser.
ton that the City's plant is
losing money is true, the City
would be in position to charge a
rate commensurate with the expense
OF operation, yet cheaper than could
a corporation having to pay interest
on its bonds and dividends to its
stockholders. A special bill would be
required from the state legislature
in order for the City to purchase the
property of the Light, Heat & Pow
er Company, and would probably
meet with no opposition from the
corporation controlling the plant, II
as claimed money is being lost in its
operation.
