His death leaves a vacancy in the
postoffice at Madison and for which

that it will fall to assistant post

CONCERNING MUNICIPAL OWN

Few lines of business have greater
depreciation in value than all electri-

of the largest elements of deprecia-

date.
The street lighting system installed
by the city six years ago is today
worth far less than it's book value.
Electrical wiring and fixtures used in
this city but few years ago are now
obsolete. The plant installed by the

was modern then and in advance of
the company's requirements. The

Notice to Farmers.

I wish to inform you that
the new law requiring cattle
to be Tuberculine tested, from
and after December LIST, 1910,
before sale can be made, does
not apply when cattle are to be
exported from the state OF
slaughtered.
Any stock that is purchased
by me is bought for that pur-
pose, and if at any time, any OF
the stock is withheld by me for
sale in this state, | viii have
the same tested by a duly Ii
censed person at M own ex-
pense.
The farmer will therefore be
perfectly safe and not liable in
any way if he sells his stock
TO me.

ESTIMATES COMPARED WITH
RESULTS.

The aldermen of this city receive
but $4,000 per year for their services,
many of them are working men. They
have families to support, and they
cannot afford to spend all their time
for the city, studying technical sub
Jects at $4,000 per year. They are not
electrical or steam engineers and
when they need expert work they are
compelled to hire it. They engage
the best men they can, and decide
technical questions as their honest
convictions seem to them best tor the
city. Their decisions are necessarily
based largely upon hired expert advice.
The council always properly require
an estimate to be made before any
important work is undertaken. The
actual costs almost invariably exceed
the estimates. Here are some con-
crete examples:
A former city engineer recommended
the installation of 80 new drive wells
as solution of the poor water service
which we still have and have had for
10 or 20 years, I'VE have municipal
ownership his estimate gave the
probable cost as 100000 and the
capacity of the wells as 7,OOO,O gal
Ions per day. The council had nc
reason to believe he was not right and
adopted the plans and ordered the
work done. The actual cost was
S22, 100000 The water question was
not solved.
An engineer recently appeared be
fore the council with convincing
roll of blue prints and figures. blue
prints always look convincing. These
particular blue prints were particular
ly convincing and were for another

has been in the process of being solved
