WEBSTER cITY's ELECTRIC sYs-
TEN NETS $4,000 DURING
YEAR 1910.
PUT ON PAYING BASIS
~ BUSHES ADMINISTRATION
Plant Barely Paid Expenses Four
Years Aso-Levy Made For Street
Lighting Purposes-Profits Will Be
Larger When New Power House Nor.
Faverably Located 10 Completed.

Webster City, Oct. 2S.-Out of mu-
nicipal plant but little more than pay
ing current expenses, to a remunera-
tive project piling into the city Golfers
thousands of dollars in profit. has been
the rapid stride made at the local cleo
trio light plant during the past four
years. With the ending of the current
year, it is estimated the profits of
this institution will be between ten and
twelve thousands of dollars. During
these four years the profits have nearly
doubled Last year. Notwithstanding
the fact of large expense, the profits
amounted to over $4,000. Five years
ago the plant was scarcely on a paying
basis. Today it is the most lucrative
institution possessed by this munici-
pality.
The increase made out of this pro-
ject is remarkable, when it is consid-
cred that the plant is far from ade-
quate and more or less dilapidated
The facts are that the city has been
compelled to turn away electric light
business, the plant being unable to
carry the load.
Consumption Increased.
Better management, increased con-
sumption, and street light tax levy
have all added to help increase the
remuneration, but 1t is the first mem
tioned-management- has prob
ably been.as material in swelling the
receipts as any other resource. City
Engineer Mullins has directed the
plant in altogether a business like
manner He has cut down expense
where feasible, and garnered profits out
Of useless expense. He has not only
helped make the light plant a finan-
cial success, but as we'll has provided
for Webster City light patrons the
best system that is to be procured out
Of the inadequate plant. the council is
now considering abandoning, because of
the fact that it is far from meeting the
requirements.
With the building of new power
plant, as now proposed, and which
project will likely result during the
next year, it is believed with the big
saving in coal transportation and the
added facilities for caring for the addi-
tional business which has been from
to time refused, that the profits will
be swelled proportionately.

a very wide channel is usually required
to care for the water that flows, but
occasionally the waters get very high
and the creek becomes treacherous. Lot
owners on either side claim that their
lot line runs to the middle OF the
stream and they have been encroach-

so narrow that 1t would threaten part

As soon as nation ceases TO

Do our habits not tend toward
the mere provision for the decora-
ton of the graves OF our loved
ones? More and more, as each
season comes around, we seem
to feel the absence Of flowers from
the family graves disgrace-at
the same time, losing sight OF the
national significance of the day.
As the membership OF the e. a.
Il. grows less, shall the number OF
those who in thought and deed go
to the graves of our heroes, les

To many the thrtieth of May
means only the day for the open
ing OF some park, the season S
greatest ball game or some other
sport-a days release and the leis-
ure for a good time.
Each year a smaller number re-
gard the day as a special time to
recall the deeds OF OUR great ones.
How many review the nobility OF
Washington, the charity of Lin
coin and the deeds which were a
consequence thereof? How many
from their thoughts~on this day,
find an incentive for greater per-
sonal patriotism, greater enthu-
siasm to battle against those
things which disgrace our civili-
zation and retard our advance
