surd situation conceivable than taxa ton of the public on the alleged value of franchise previously donated by that very public. we don't know what it is.
 The true measure of value in ar irving at the value of a public utility corporations plant is the cost of physically duplicating that plant as it stands.
 These principles were laid down by the courts in the controversy over the gas rates in the city of New York. and more forcibly expressed than we have expressed them here, and their soundness cannot be fairly questioned.
 When it comes to saying what is a fair return on the investment, no fair citizen would deny that it should be higher here than in the east. where money is cheap. And whereas in the gas case cited it was decided that 5h per cent would be a fair return eff we remember correctly. the courts and the people would undoubtedly say that d fair return on a similar in vestment in Phoenix would be at least per cent, and probably 10 per cent.
 The general belief that the revenues of the Pacific Gas and Electric com pany. if applied to actual value of plant. to depreciation. sinking fund, and operating expenses, do exceed the fair return we have indicated. &C., counts for such strength as attaches
 And the people are not particularly interested in proof that cities else where pay as much for light as is paid in Phoenix. It is too well known that public utility corporations almost uniformly attempt to earn revenues on fictitious valuations-valuation which include franchises and the mar ket value of stock which originally represented no investment.

CITY COUNCIL.

An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held Wednesday evening
A resolution was offered by Alder
man Flatter which provided for post
poning the paving of Scott and Wash
ington streets for one year. A vote
was taken and the resolution was
killed.
Alderman Henry Ellenbecker of,
fered resolution providing that tele-
phone and telegraph companies be
compelled to place all wires under
ground on Third street, between the
intersections of Jackson and Scott; on
Second between Forest and Grant;
on Fourth between Forest and Nc
Clellan; on Washington street from
the slough bridge to Fifth street; on
Jefferson street from First to Fifth
streets; on Scott street from high
bridge to Fifth street. The WauSau
Telephone Co. has been considering
this matter for some time. The reso-
luton also provides that the city at
torney shall draw up an ordinance,
to be presented at the meeting March
l, compelling such action.
1t was moved that the council re-
consider action taken at the last
meeting in reference to the claim of
NJ. j. Hoffman The latter brought
claim against the city for $22.5O for
damages sustained in sewer backing
up and flooding his premises. 1t was
decided to take the matter up at the
next meeting of the council. In re-
gard to this matter the city engineer
said that the Washington street sew
er had been flushed after the COM
plaint was made, but that the sewer
age still remained in the Hoffman
basement, showing that the fault was
in the sewer connection and not in
the sewer itself.
1t was ordered that payment be
made for wood as soon as delivered to
the school grounds and other places
designated by the city.
Two changes were made in the in
spectors of election. Fred Bloom sue
ceeds G. w. Olson, and Herman
Krause will serve in place of Walter
Barden, both in the Sixth ward.
The plans for the Sixth ward school
were adopted and advertise
ment for bids for the construction of
same will be found in this issue.

meeting assembled, desire to express
and record our realization of the great
danger both to our children and the
good name of this city, in the con-
tinuance of the present epidemic of
scarlet fever, which has already ex-
isted for nearly two years. Being
conscious of the fact that many pre-
cautions and active measures for the
suppression of this disease in common
use among other cities have not been
exercised in Wausau, we do hereby
ReS0lre, That we do feel it to be our
bounden duty, and urge upon all citi-
zens a like sense of duty, to endure
such restrictions as may be found
necessary by the proper authorities to
apply, and to ourselves exercise such
care in case of need, that this dreaded
disease may, if possible, be entirely
suppressed. And we do heartily COM
mend the action of the board of health
in establishing complete quarantine
fol any form of this disease, and that
of the physicians, in their effort to
use such personal precautions as may
render them less liable TO be carriers
of any contagion.

SCHULTZ--WILLIAMSON

An item appearing in Thursdays
issue of the Oshkosh Northwestern
reads as follows:
Miss Kate Williamson of this city is
TO be married at seven o'clock this
evening to Mr.. Emil Schultz, drug
gist of Neenah and Menasha. The
wedding will be witnessed by a COM
pany of fifty people and Rev. John
w. Greenwood of Trinity Episcopal
church will pronounce the ceremony
at the home of Mrs. A. Ripley, the
brides sister, on Algoma street.
There will be wedding supper and
later in the evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Schultz will go away for a wedding
trip. The bridal couple will not be
attended during the service.
The young lady is very well known
in this city. She came to Wausau a
number of years ago, having been
engaged by the board of education to
teach in one of the grades of the high
school. She at once became interested
in musical work, and at al
most every entertainment, concert or
play given by Wausau musical talent
she was the piano accompanist. Later
she gave up school work to take =
position in the James Music Co. s
store, where she remained for two
years or more. About three years
ago she left the city and went to her
home in Oshkosh where she has since
remained. Previous to leaving here
Miss Williamson had for long period
been organist in the Presbyterian
church

A WONDERFUL BOOKKEEPING
MACHINE.

A WAUsAU PILOT reporter hap
pened in one of the banks one day
this past week and found the district
representative of the Burroughs Ad-
ding Machine Co., of Detroit, demon
strating the latest product of the
Burroughs company. From the in
terest manifested in the machine by
those to whom it was being demon
strated it was evident that the
machine was something unusual and
all those present said it was the most
wonderful they had ever seen; that it
seemed almost impossible to compre-
hend that a machine could perform
such wonderful work. From the
demonstration it was learned that
this new machine is called the Duplex
and that it is really two adding
machines in one. 1t will do what no
other adding machine can do as it
carries two totals at once. In fact,
the new machine is a bookkeeping
machine and will be especially useful
to bookkeepers in taking trial balances
because debts and credits can be
listed in separate columns Tor in the
same column with designating marks
opposite the items) and total of the
debts and total OF the credits can
be taken at the end of the listing.
This makes it necessary for the book
keeper to go through his debts and
credits but once.
The stores will find wide use for this
new machine. Daily sales tickets
can be listed and the total of each
clerks sales for the day taken and
then at the end the combined total is
printed also.
1t is equally valuable in making
monthly statements, verifying in
voices, extending and adding inyen-
tories and making out pay rolls.
The new Burroughs Duplex is the
most comprehensive, mechanical ac-
counting device ever produced in
America. The scope Of its work is
so wide that it has earned the title of
bookkeeping machine and those who
saw it say that it bids fair to revolu-
tionize the adding machine business.

SOMETHING TO LAUGH AT.

Next to kiss laugh is the most
popular thing in the world. The
supply of kisses is limited, being
largely controlled by fair but capric-
ious trust. The supply of laughs,
however, is practically unlimited so
long as you don't get too grumpy to
look for them. One reason for the re-
markable success of The Chicago
Record Herald is its daily recognition
of the value of kindly, wholesome fun.
The alternating Currents column
of S. E. Kiser, the humorist and poet,
is one of the brightest things in Amer
lean journalism. There is always a
smile or good laugh in Ralph Wilder's
cartoons, bring a CHEEKY greeting as
you pick up the paper each morning.
But it is in The Sunday Record-Her-
aid that one finds the most chuckles.
The colored comic section is full OF
laughter for young and old, and these
amusing illustrations are free from
the vulgarity and mischievous- s-sugges-
tions that have barred so many comic
sections from refined homes. Then
there is always a lot of high-class
humor in the Sunday Magazine of
The Record-Herald, led by Sewell
Fords inimitable Shorty McCabe
stories. The delectable Shorty, we
understand, is to appear every other
Sunday throughout the present year.
No other character in fiction, unless
it be Mr.. Dooley, can match him as a
fun-maker. AS long as Shorty and
his devoted Sadie are on deck there
will be something worth living for.
The Record Herald has the right idea.
Clean humor doubles the welcome of
a good newspaper.

FOR CITY COMMISSION.

By majority of 900 the commits
sion form OF city government received
the approval of Eau Claire citizens al
the special election Tuesday, thereby
making this city the first in the state
to adopt this form of municipal man
agement. The commission idea was
fought strenuously by the labor ele-
ment and by Mayor W. III. Frawley.
Both sides brought speakers from
other cities to debate the subject in
local forms. A large public gathering
closed the campaign. 1t was rather a
riotous demonstration.
