show the cash cost of the lights to be
$S9.S4 per lamp per year. Adding the
interest on the bond issue brings the
cost up to $51. The Edison company
in their report to the city council, con-
corning their examination of the city
lines. said: Our investigation further
discloses that few. If any, of the joints
were SOldered. the connections being
purely mechanical. Approximately
IL or Is per cent of the joints in To-
peka proper were at one time soldered,
but in North Topeka we were unable
to find a single soldered joint" Now
in spite of this wretched condition of
the lines as reported by the Edison
company, after a thorough investiga-
ton, the records show that the lights
cost in cash only 1854. If the lines
were put into good shape by soldering
the connections, as could be done
without a very great expenditure, the
same expenditure for operating ex-
penses would give a much greater ca
pacity for the plant. thus decreasing
the coast per light very materially.
Councilman Samuel T. Howe of the
Fifth ward, is in favor of letting the
contract to the company. He says: Il
am in favor of letting the contract to
the company. 1t is an economic prin-
ciple that a company that IS in the
business can do a thing better than
the city can. We cannot compete with
job better than we can hope to be. We
have figures given us by the city clerk
showing that our lights have cost US
over $50 a year each"
1t is strange that the now famous
Squires report on city lighting should
ever be referred to in discussing the
lighting proposition but nevertheless
the people who want to discard the
city plant are using it without of course
referring to its details. The report it
self was an insult to any intelligent
person and the city council did not
consider it seriously at that time. Its
apparent purpose was to diScredtt the
city light plant but it went so far in
this direction that it was not consider
ed seriously.
For instance this report placed the
total running expenses of the plant at
$4,000 and then charged $10,S31.5S as
interest on the running expenses. The
report charged up as a loss by taxes
for seven years S1O.5O0 which of
course was beyond all reason but not
content with that the author then
charged up $2,205 as interest on the
taxes Then added to this was a dep
recitation charge of $4,000 for the sew
en- years covered by the report. Here
are the Squires figures in detail:

Daughter of Hon. H. G. Mcmillan
Thwarts Plans Of Parents and Be-

City-Creates Sensation in Home
Town.

1t Is a terrible thing to be a wealthy
papa and get the merry ha ha from an
only daughter. Hon. H. G. Mcmillan.
of Cedar Rapids, will doubtless consid-
er himself in this class when he hears
of the sudden and unexpected marriage
Of his daughter Florence in this city
Wednesday evening. Miss Mcmillan
became Mrs. Floyd B. O'Brien. and
will hereafter write Ames as her post
in the implement business in the state
college town, associated with his ia
ther, George w. O'Brien.
Miss Mcmillan Is pretty and %.
Naturally she thought 1t high time
she was saying skidoo to the paternal
home. Friends here say there vas an
objection on the part Of her parents
to her marriage to Mr.. O'Brien, pre-
sumably on account OF her age. AT any
rate, objections or not, Miss Mcmillan
determined to wed the man Of her
choice, and made all arrangements to
that effect Tuesday afternoon, when
Mr.. O'Brien visited her in Cedar Rap
ids.
Meet in This City.
Marshalltown was chosen as the
Gretna Green. Mr.. O'Brien reached
the city from the west at 1885 We'd
nesday afternoon. His bride arrived at
5 o'clock from the east. Mr.. O'Brien
had made all arrangements. He knew
Dwight Denmead. who is a student at
Samaritan act and piloted him to the
places. A license was in
waiting. Also a carriage. Rev. C.. w.
McCord was in readiness, and at $3.50
performed the ceremony. 1t was a
strenuous life. At $50 the couple
took a train out of the city, for Des
Moines, via Ames. From De- Moines
they seek the sunny south, after a
short stop at st. Louis. The honey
moon of a few weeks will be spent far
away from the maddening throng.
Witnesses to the ceremony, aside from
Mr.. Dwight Denmead, were his
brother, Mr.. Harry Denmead, and Miss
Josephine Gabelman.
A Sensation at Cedar Rapids.
The news of the elopement, when
conveyed to Cedar Rapids papers,
caused nothing short of a sensation.
