We will be glad if the Appointment of such commission can be given serious consideration at this time and it be made a continuing body to revise and readjust rate schedules from time to time as con- ditions change and the city increases in population
 We believe, in justice to all concerned, that this appointed. commission should be composed of three disinterested electrical and gas engineers of acknowledged stand ing and repute, who are familiar with the subject of rates and rate schedules, and should be selected in the following manner:

 Seip Last Saturday.


 Seip Last Saturday.
 No man in Phoenix was-,more inn pressed by the performances of Ham, ilton and Willard at the fair grounds last week than Sam N Seip. And no man in Phoenix felt less interest in the meet in the beginning than he NIT. Seip was apathetic because he had been daily spectator of the work of Orvilie Wright at Fort Myers last summer when his flights found space on the front pages of newspa- pers all over the civilized world The foremost of sviators was performing for the United States government and the grounds were thronged daily by the highest officials and chief citi- zens.
 Mir. Seip furnished The Republican at that time his impressions of the aeropiane. Those impressions were not favorable at first but after Wright made the flight to Alexandria with a passenger he participated in the na- tional enthusiasm and joined in ac- claiming the Wright brothers as the greatest inventors of the age
 Having seen Wright in such a gor- geous setting, lie naturally believed that no good thing could come out of Nazareth and made up his mind that he would put in aviation week in Phoenix in making cigars
 But he was induced to attend on Saturday and was filled with amaze ment at the manipulation of the ma chimes 1t is likely not an extrava- Gant statement that there was not another man on the ground who so thoroughly appreciated the work of Willard and Hamilton.
 Speaking of ii yesterday he said that the best performances of the Wright machine at Fort Myers were crude and labored in comparison with the work at the fair grounds. In fact. he said. there could he no com parison between the marvellous con trol Hamilton had at all times over his machine and the uncertain con- trol that Wright had over his most of the time
 The long glide was something the like of which had not been seen at Fort Myers. Wright made glides all right but they looked more like falls and when his aeroplsnes struck the earth on its sled like runners. the avi- ator was invariably thrown out of his machine. sometimes distance of twenty feet
 That was regarded as scheduled part of the performance. Wright as well as the spectators would have been surprised if he had maintained his place in the machine
 The Hamilton machine settled down on its bicycle wheels as easily as bird and if. when about to light. the aviator discovered that the ground was not suitable. he chose a place elsewhere more to his fancy. Wright could not exercise any choice once he was started on his descent
 The ease with which Hamilton and Willard launched their machines was in striking contrast to the manner in

We respectfully request that you invite the City Council to appoint commission of it's own selection on which there shall be one electrical engineer and one expert accountant to examine your property and vOur books with view of determining what is the actual value of your property and your net profits.

 If prompt action is taken the investiga- tors should be able to make such report as you require within week or ten days, which report. we feel confident, will con vince the public of the truth of our claims concerning the value of our property and the net earnings derived therefrOm.
 In addition to conSenting to such 'eX- animation as you suggest. we are willing to go much further and join with the city in securing an expert commission to inquire fully and carefully into the whole subject of local gas and electric rates, which com mission shall fix fair and equitable rate schedule just to the consumer and to the company.

 If such commission be appointed we will agree to permit it to make a thorough examination of our plants and property and inquire fully into our business, books and records, and fix upon scale of charges which will be just and equitable, both to the company and to the consumer, which scale of charges we agree to put into effect.
