FL Presidente anuncia que el
unico objeto de la convocatoria de
aquel acto es el informe que ha pre-
sentado el Comite dc Franquicias
sobre tarifas de ferrocarriles. So
mete el asunto q discussion.
FL seiior Acufia: Recomienda
el dictamen presentado por el Co.
mite de Franquicias, como I'm ira
baje excelente y habil, pero a1n
asi, sc We en- Ia necesidad de i'm
pugnarlo. Considera que el Conf
te de Franquicias ha estado muy
acertado al considerar y estudiar el
asunto bajo el punto de vista de la
convenience de la compahia de los
ferrocarriles, porque considera que
81 esa compafila ha gastado grandes
sumas en- Ia isla, justo es que tell
ga su recompensa; pero eS necesa-
rio tambien-dice-considerar los
perjuicios que Sc ocasiona al publ
CO con esa conducta, no 6jandose al
emitir dicho informe, mas que en-
los gastos que tiene y en- los benef.
clos que recibe. El primer punto
en- toda elnpresa, es 10 que puede
gastar y despues 10 que deb- pro
ducir, porque sin 10 prineru no pue
de prosperar 10 segundo.
Este es el punto -agrega-qu'
cree ha debido tomarse en- cuenta
La compaiiia puede gastar y gasta,
| alo que Sc sehala en- este dictamen
cree que gasta mas, pero hay Out
yer 81 los medios contributivos de
pals pueden dar alcance & los gas
tos de Ia compaiiia.
Is inegable que la isla Sc halls
en- Situaci6n bastante desahogad,
hoy, comparada con tres amos atras
pero esta prosperidad no depend
hoy de un capital propio; esta pros
peridad es hija en- mayor parte de
credito de las irdustrias; yo n
tengo Inconvenience en- declarar gu
la mayor parte de esos ingenios es
tan sostenidos en- gran parte por c
credito; en- una palabra; que debel
dinero y que estau pagando el inte
res de ese capital.
Igualmente los cultivadores d
cana deben cantidades q esos inge
MOS, que tienen que satisfacer co
el azucar. De modo que 81 Sc quic
re atender { la necesidad del pal
hay que tener en- cuenta que esa
cantidades que aparecen hoy com
Importation, no son cantidades gu
Sc ganan sino cantidades que s
adeudan y que deben pagarse co
el fruto de la industria.
Todas estas razones las DEB
tener en- cuenta el Consejo Ejecut
vo; este es, no solo 6jandose en-
situaci6n de la companfa del Ferr'
carril, sino tambien en- la de K
grandes ingenios.
Ademas que, la expresada Con
panfa ha recibido de las Camar'
insulares grandes bene6cios, CON
es la suspension de cotribucicnes
la cesi6u de terrenos y otras vent
jas, por cuya raz6n es de esper'
que la Compatifa pueda tener uni
tarifas mas equitativas para Puer'
Rico.

en- los hogares puertorriquehos.
Y este ha empezado 4 suceder va
en- muchos pueblos de la isla y es
justo que el Consejo tome estas ra-
zones en- cuenta antes de aprobar
las referidas tarifas. Que ese au-
mento no debe ser tan rapido, sino
gradual de seis en- seis meses de
rnanera que las clases trabajadoras
aceptaran el aumento insensible-
mente.
Porque aunque Sc dice que la
Compahia tiene necesidad de un
aumento de tarifas por un exceso
de gastos de 70. 900 dollars dentro
de sus tarifas normales, deoe au.
mentar su capital y no recurrlr al
aumento de tarifas para cubrir esa
cantidad, pues es este 10 mismo que
ciertos comerciantes que por querer
ganar mucho venden caro- creyendo
hacer un negocio, cuando es ESQ I'm
error, pues 10 l6gico es aumentar
el capital va en- efectivo, va en- Gre
ditto, para hacer mas extensa la
esfera de su acclon y asi seran ma

para que los intereses de esa Com

FL Attorney general:-Ha pa
sado va mas de. un aiio de haberse
presentado este asunto al Consejo
Executive. Desde que Sc paso al
Comite de Franquicias, sus MEM
bros han tratado de llegar q una
conclusion defnitiva. Tan pronto
lego este asunto nuestro poder
tratamos de investigar las condicio-
mes tkcnicas y materiales del ferro-
carril.
La idea que sc tiene sobre el
ferro- carril es Ia mislna que Sc tiene
de un camino pdblico va que favo-
rece q todos por igual, pero ss JUS
to que 81 la Compafiia emplea ST. ca
pital tenga una buenalrenumeraci6n

sino cuenta con suhcientes recur-
SOS para cumplir sus compromises.
Y cuando este llega & nuestra
consideration y 10 atendemos, al
presentar I'm dictamen como el que
Sc discute creemos que hemos he
cho benefcios al pdblico porque en-
$ cualquier pals, a1u en- aquellos me-
} nos desarrollados, no Sc obtienen
a estos adelantos 81 no Sc recompen-
a san debidamente.
Y esta idea, este cs, el b:ne6.
: clio pdblico, es el que nos ha in u-
e cido q presentar esa resolucion.
: Considera que cualquier dafio que
Sc haga al ferrocarril, habra de re-
E dunbar en- perjuicio del p1biico, por
cuya .raz6n hay que estar q favor
: de ese ferrocarril.
}. Sc ha visto que dicha compa-
r MIA estaba Ell I'm estado casi auar-
Z quico, al extreme, que tanto en- su

a que nos vimos obligados a pedir Al

10 cuanto Sc pueda decir en- contra de

The combina ton OF Old Home week and
the centennial of the Peru church was
fortunate in every way. \ touch of SOL
emnlty was given to what would other
wise have been merely social intercourse
ana the impression was thereby deepened
The little church was full on sunday
morning when DR.. Seymour preached n
historical sermon. Early times of hard
snip were pictured, but mostly the speak
er dwelt upon the faith OF the settlers
and its fruits. The evening was given
10 the young people the history of the
EhoeaVor society and its relation to the
church. II was good 10 hear the senior
deacon expand on thektrength and cour-
age shown by the young folks in sustain
ing and giving life to the old organiza-
ton.
On Thursday evening which was devoted
to Renaissance, Mrs. Mark b. Lyon read
a paper on the twenty ministers Of the
century. Mrs. Abbie Batchelder on the

the influence Of strong men and women of
the past Judge Clark Batcnelder and
others We're listened to with rapt attention
as special features Of the earlier life OF
the earlier life of the church were por-
trayed.
On the morning of the great dav-Fri-
day-a prayer service of rededication was
held at the village church. and at II a
m, general meeting at the old centre
a mile north. There the ruin Of a
Methodist church still stands which renew
ed its youth in n tasty ornamentation of
greens and again echoed those expressions
of loyal sentiment which charmed a
houscful Of Peruvians and their friends
Hon. d. X. Simonds spoke with truth and
FEELING of the pioneer fathers and
mothers Hon. j. X. Batchelder was at
his best in reminiscent vein which cap
tured the audience. Hon. NJ ]. Hapgood
dwelt upon the inherent strength of con-
Viction and purpose OF the elders eviden-
ced by the fruits Of their living fea-
ture Of the morning was the excellent
singing of Miss Revi, born and educate
in Rome Italy. Dinner was served on
the wide lawn, under the naples, and at
three o'clock began the exercises of mark
ing the site of the old church. The pre-
sentation was made by Edward b. Bat
chelder of Townshend, and the speech
OF acceptance by Deacon Mark B. Lyon
There was a prayer, congregational sing
ing, and a pleasant service, then came
as pleasant surprise, a poem written by
NJ. j. Hapgood and read by one Of his
daughters, Mrs. b. F. Milington. The
evening was given to a reception when
again, Mrs. Aiillington recited, also Mr.
Neasey. There We're other speeches, more
music. and the serving of refreshments
better than ala church full of grateful
hearts. During the week fair was held
by the ladies of the church in the library,
and in the church a loan collection of
Peruvian antiques proved most popular.
Very much of the success of this affair
was due to the care and services of the
Rev. DIT, Seymour who happily presided
| over the services

Policies That Insure Success
In Savings Banks

Every good banking institution has
certain policies which it follows in
variably and which make for the sue
cess of failure of the bank. The
Enosburg Falls Standard evidently
believes the Hyde Park Savings Bank
is following the right kind of policies.
1t says:
Ex-Gov. c. S. Page has every reason for
pride and satisfaction over the record made
by the Lamoille County Savings Bank, which
July ] 1, passed the million dollar mark in
assets. This is distinctively a Vermont in
stiiutiou for it has been the policy Of the
bank since its establishment that none OF its
loans should be made out Of the state. 1t
has never lost a dollar by a poor note. Its
depositors are to be found in practically
every town in the state. Its policies have
commanded patronage and made for its sue
cess
This bank pays per cent. COM

AUDITORIUM NOTES.
Guy Brothers Ministries the Attraction
Tomorrow Nlght-Bennett Moulton
Company All Next Week.

The Guy Brothers big Ministries will be
the attraction at the Auditorium, Satur-
day evening, Aug. "a. The Guy Brothers
have been identified with the minstrel
business over 80 years and through the
entire length and breadth of the country
their names on a show bill mean a first
class entertainment. They come this sea-
son with everything new from start to
finish and all new people in new acts.
The press in all the cities that they have
visited say this is the best minstrel or
ganization on the road.
The Binghamton, n. Y, Herald says:
Guy Brothers minstrels made their an
uuJl appearance at the opera house last
evening and presented a show that was
greatly above the average. The crowd
was an unusually large one and the pro-
gram was very pleasing, the artists being
applauded at every turn. The first part
was a decided novelty and the program
consisted of excellent solo work. The
singers which this company carry are
probably among the foremost on the stage
today The speciality features were far
above the standard. Guy Brothers min
suels will appear at the Auditorium to-
morrow, Saturday, evening, Aug. 4.
one of this seasons new plays in the
repertoire of the Bennett-Moulton com
pauy is The Governors Wife" This
play sets forth in a striking manner the
evils Of our times where vast political IN
t,rests are concerned. The scene is laid
In one Of the British possessions of the far
east and the chances for scenic embellish-
Weut and atmosphere are fully taken ad-
vantage Of There are five comedy parts
so there will be something doing in
the line Of laughter.
