Council Votes to Buy the Plant

was ready to go through with the affair as a private corporation 1.-the city did not want 1t.
 Mir Shaw said the first thing to do was to get an opinion as to the legality but the evident attempt here was to railroad this through,
 Mir. Snyder and Mayor Shea agreed to this.
 Mir. Harrison being called on ez- pressed belief in the feasibility of the enterprise. He said the gross incon e of the plant at present was s9,3OO; the running expenses s6,S7O.
 This brought Mir. Shaw into the dis cus,iog again. "Tho running expenses s8, ,87O and the gross income s9,3OO. How are you to pay for the plant out of a margin like that? what kind of dnanc, loring is thIs?" he exclaimed "Chought you had a net revenue Of $lO,OOo?' Mir. Harrison said the prices would not remain the same and the revenue would be increased.
 "But that is figuring like Col. sel, lers" said Shaw.
 Snyder called halt on the discussion by declaring that it was to no purpose until it was known If the deal could b legally entered in'o,

and any one could go into court and stop it with au injunction. He said he would oppose It to the bitter end.
 Mayer Shea called upon Judge Tan uer to explain the proposition from the standpoint of ut6ckholder aud citizen. In reuponso Mir. Tanner said be believed this proposition to be a good one for the city. HS said the revenue from the IighS plant last month was s73s. The revenues were equal to ElO,OOO year and might reach sl2,OOO. Be thought the plant could pay for itself in possibly one year and certainly three years. He had talked to many aud all save a very few believed It to be a good thing, All the largest tax payers were for 1t.
 Mir, Shaw asked why, if the revenue was 90 large, the old company could not pay auy of it's running expsnGes-labor, wood or anything.
 Mr. Tanner said it was because the money received was all sent away. The policy of the old company, as everybody knew, was to milk the people and pay  nothing,
 Mir. Shaw said it looked, by descrip- tion, too good to sell

 Shaw said he had the law of the matter and there was DO sense in the running Ire attending this important buslnesu in the face of this letter of the law. Be explained how Alaskan towns are permitted to incur certain but linn tied ndeb,edness-the limit being the sum of the current revenue. This pro- vision nude it impossible under the law, for the city of sksgway to take upon itself this heavy load, The cur rent revenue O, the town was some thing over s22,OOO and the expense

He pointed out that this proposition was more danger ous than the other inasmuch as, in the case Of failure, temporary or other wise, under a management controlled by the selling company itueli, she city must lose the works and the monis' paid.

UNITED STATES
IN SANTA'S
CLASS
Public Land Bill Would Put
Millions In States Stockings
and Cancel Big Debt.

Washington, March 20.-Repre-
sentative Hall of South Dakota has
introduced a bill with a view to hav-
ing settled finally tie accounts be-
tween the United States and the sew
eral states of the Union relative to
the distribution of the pro-
ceeds from the sales of public
lands. About $50, 10000 Is involved,
and of this amount the states owe the
general government s2s,000,0o0 and
the general government owes the
states $S,OO0,000, and yet the desire
is that the United States give a statu-
tory release to the states from their
obligations to pay and snail pay the
states what is due them.
In nearly every Congress for the
last 80 years bills have been intro
duced to close up these outstanding
Iaccounts. As rule the bills have
passed either the House or the Senate
or at least have been reported IA
vorabIy from committee to one of
the legislative branches, but notwlth-
standing the great amount involved,
lnone of the measures introduced has
| ever succeeded in finding its way
! through both houses of Congress.
| IN lne pCIluluB ltbiSidtioiA eiiNNA
the Hall bill, two classes of accounts
are taken into consideration, In the
year 1885 the United States loaned

nine points of the law and nine points
OF the right. At any rate, the con-
tinued holding of the governments
millions for more than 20 years has
made most of the states forgetful OF
the obligation.
\ reading of the debates in Con-
gress when the loaning act was pass
ed indicates that the loans we've made
up of the surplus proceeds of the
sales of public land, although this Is
not made to appear on the face OF
the act itself. The act does show
however that the granting of this
surplus money in the treasury wa;

lOtdl Go' lUl
To Cancel State Debts.
As has been said the states have
claims against the government
amounting to about sS,OOO,OOO. 1t is
proposed that the government
should pay the states this money, but
shall not ask the states to pay the
$2S,OOO, 900 due Uncle Sam. In other
words the government is to pay out
$4,000, 900 i'm cash and lose the right
to collect the $2S,O00,000.
The class OF accounts on which a
settlement Ia desired on behalf of the
states consists of state claims for 8
per cent upon the net proceeds Of the
public lands disposed OF for bounty
land warrants, Indian reservation
and for other purposes. Some of the
creditor states, it must be admitted,
are not in the debtor class for they
were not I'm existence as states at the
time the government made the loans.
Upon the admission TO the Union
of the various public land states. the
enabling acts provided for the reser-
walton Of per cent Of the net pro-
ceeds OF the sales OF public land
within each state for the benefit of
that state. Each state stipulated in
return the exemption OF public lands
from taxation the exemption from
tax for a certain period Of lands
granted for military services, and the
equality Of nonresident with resident
land owners, or some like covenant.
The states always have Insisted that
they are entitled to the 3 per cent
not alone upon the sales Of public
lands for cash, but also upon the
use Of the lands for Indian reserva-
tions. For years the public land
states have asked for a settlement OF
these disputed questions Representa-
tive Halls bill provides that the ac-
counts shall be stated, audited and
the amounts found due paid.

which Missouri has against the gov

Preceients Cite.
The members of Congress who
want the government to release the
states from their Indebtedness main
tain that there are legislative prece-
dents for liberality and for the for
giving of debts. 1t is held also that
none OF the states admitted into the
Union since 1896 can make just COM
plant against the cancellation OF the
debt, notwithstanding the fact that
these states would benefit IL their
older sisters should pay back into
the treasury the money once given
them in trust.

which were deposited with the sever

In discussing long distance service
the report calls attention to the fact
that during each conversation the
circuit is devoted exclusively to the
service of the user. Long distance
communications require the presence
of tha two individuals concerned at
the ends of the line. and they are
therefore confined largely to the
hours when it is certain that each
can be definitely located. The result
of this is that the long distance busi-
ness is crowded into a very small
part of the day and that much of
the time the facilities provided are
lying idle. There is no way of
crowding the business during the
times of heavy demand, as but one
message can pass at time. Diagrams
are given showing how irregularly the
business is distributed Throughout,
the day, and tire statement is made
that If business could be subjected to
a half hours delay the facilities re-
quired could be reduced one-third at
least.
