to the public. as a matter of course. Let us consider the United Electric Company of Springfield. which does the electric lighting in that city, and furnishes also light and power to w Springfield. Long Meadow and Lud- low. serving a. population of S6.000 souls in all.
 The United Electric Company of Springfield was taxed in 1908 upon an assessed valuation of $1,47O,60O. It paid in taxes $27, $40.
 The United Illuminating Company of Bridgeport was taxed in 1908 upon an assessed valuation on the books of the assessors in this city, of $302, ,985.
 One of two things is true. Either the plant of the United Illuminating Company in Bridgeport is very in- ferior to the plant of the United E.ec- tr4c Company in Springfield. or on the contrary. the Bri~seport Company is undervalued and undertaxed.
 If the, Bridgeport is a poor plant, giving inferior service at high cost, an investiga ton will show that. x
 If the Bridgeport plant is a good plant. but undervalued on the tax books, an investigation will show that also.
 Assume that the plant in Bridgeport is as good, in every way, as the Springfield plant.
 Then the investigation might show that the actual value of the property is some $1.000,000 greater than the as- SeSsed value.
 Upon the basis of the present tax rate. which is the highest in the his tory of the city the increase in the revenue to the city, resulting from such a discovery, would be $15,SO0 per year. .iJ JslM
 The revenue to be derived by ac- cepting the companys proposition and throttlinc the investigation is esti- mated at not more than $4.O00 rer year.
 It will comfort the gentlemen for whom this information is part, ,cularly intended. to learn that the financial superiority of investigation, over no investigation. may reach so high a figure as $12, 900 in one year, $6O001 in five years; $120, 900 in 10 years
 But. in the contrary, if the assessed value of the property of the United Illuminating company in this city is its fair value. what about the profits?
 The United Electric Company of Springfield carried to it's profit account i'll 1909 the enormous sum of $2f2, 600. ' Did the Bridgeport Company earn $212.0 900 in 1908. with a plant worth $390, 900?
 Who knows? Who says, Throttle the investiga- tion'?
 Just little thing The present type of arc lights require attention every day. The proposed magnitite lamp re- quireS attention once in two or three weeks. It is said to cost some $8 to $10 a year less to operate it. Why should not the city get the whole of that saving?

ACIIHcIlSu dL luC OtuSlU0 ulltu dlICI the Senator's death.
 Before Senator McCarren passed away his relatives wished to bring his mother. to see him. He rebelled.
 THOUGHT OF. MOTHER.
 Mother couldn't live if she saw me here. Please don't bring her. couldn't stand the strain either Tell her when I'm gone and say was al- ways thinking of her."
 The Senator then asked Dr. Hughes to break the news to his mother. Dr. Hughes has known MT. McCarren from his infancy, when he and Senator Mo Carren were companions together in Williamsburg. N LEADER MURPHY ON McCARREN
 Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam many Hall, said today that the death of Senator McCarren was distinct loss to the Democratic party of the State. He was a fair and fearless fighter, who allowed no-one to impose upon him and whose generalslhip was admired even by his opponents. While shocked by the news that Senator Mo Carren is dead, he said that reports for some days had prepared his ac- to hear therworst. A-ss.sss
 My differences with Senator Mc- CaTren were entirely political said MT. Murphy He and disagreed at many points as to the proper con duct of party affairs. but, personally admired him greatly. He was one of the cleverest men in a political way that--I have ever known and his loss will long be felt by the party. Tam many has no intention of taking ad- vantage of the situation in Brooklyn that the fatal outcome of his illness has brought about. I have always said that Tammany has no desire to annex the Brooklyn organization, al- though I believe now as I always have. that there should be harmony in the Democratic ranks throughout the city as we'll as in the State and liation''

 LIMBURGER CHEESE

VOptCIdI
 Denver, Oct. 23.-Cancer germs may not have olfactory apertures of the first class but according to the an- nouncement. of Phillip Schuch Jr., a chemist made today, they flee before the redolent fragrance of 1imburger cheese.
