Lincoln,s birthday.

There was no celebration of Lin
coins Birthday outside of the exer-
cises in the schools on Tuesday. Most
OF the business places remained open
only half day, the railroad ran on
holiday schedule, the post Office had
but one delivery and the banks were
closed all day. The warm weather
spoiled the sleighing, so that many
who looked forward to that sport were
disappointed.

The town authorities can well set
an example to private property owners
on Water street. During the rain of
Thursday, a stream of colored water
ran from the manure heap of the
Truck Co., behind an old rotten fence
on Water street, spreading over wide
area VI the sidewalk. 1t is pnfortu-
nate that manure had to be stored
there anyway, but the town could at
least build light brick. wall alonG
the sidewalk to mitigate the nuisance,
while wall in place of the present
rotten fence would improve the looks
of things greatly.

Report of the Chatham Water ant
Light Commission.

Report of the Chatham Water and
Light Commission.
The annual report of the Chatham
water and light commissioners shows
the total net profit to the town from
the water and light plants for the past
year was 2.664.45. This takes into
consideration as a receipt charges for
maintenance of 127 street lamps and
two arc lamps, amounting to S2,466,
and of fire hydrant service, amounting
to LOIS, the figures used being those
that would be charged if the service
were supplied by private corporation.
Figures were also presented showing
rapid and healthy growth of the
water and light departments. For in
stance, four years ago there were
eighty-four consumers of light and 20l
of water. To-day there are 152 con-
sumers of light, and water is used in
267 structures. In the revenue from
water there has been an increase Of
forty-four per cent. over a correspond
ing period four years ago, while the
light receipts have about doubled dur
ing that period. The inventory shows
that the plant assets all told, at the
present prices of labor, apparatus and
materials, to be SOL, 748, while the en-
tire debt is $60,2l5, leaving a balance
of $50, 1888 to the borough's credit. AS
the commissioners point out. it will be
seen that the streets have been light
ed, together with the dydrant service
furnished, all without cost to the bor-
ougE, during the six years of the
plants history, and still there is a
surplus of $40, 233, or more than the
original cost of the electric light
plant. Mention is made in the annual
statement that it is planned to install
new tilament lamps in place Of the
carbon filament lamps now used for
street lighting, which will mean much
powerful light, with less consump-
tion of energy. The saving effected
through municipal ownership in the
street lighting and hydrant service for
the last six years has been $lS,770.
