: It was the intention OF this commit
tee to submit a.comparative statement
of municipal plants as to rates on
water and light, etc., but on sending
out for information we were unable to

eral Of the clerks OF the different cities

ton which we were able, to secure.
The lateness Of this report and the

any further action on this question be
referred to a large committee Of citi-

The foregoing figures are based on
the assumption that the city. in order
to purchase the plants, would require
to issue bonds to the extent of Five
Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars
560,O00.O0). bearing interest, at per
cent and redeemable at par in, twenty
years, also, that the annual contribu.
ton of Twenty-eight Thousand Dollars
($2S,OO0.0O) to Sinking Fund for the
redemption of the bonds at maturity,
could be invested at per cent. The
interest item shown in the above state
ment, represents the average annual
net amount chargeable for interest on
bonds less the interest received from
the investment of the Sinking Fund.
1t Is very difficult to determine the
proper amount of the charge for depre-
citation. The only satisfactory way in
which to arrive at the satisfactory
amount of depreciation to be allowed,
Is 10 make due allowance ON each item
or class of item separately. but, we be-
lieve, that the provision made for de-
probation in this case will be suffi-
cient for the present purpose.
We understand that when the present
contract between the Virginia & Rainy
Lake Lumber Company and the Vir-
glnla Water and Light Company ex-
ptres, the cost Of. operating the water
and light plant will be increased con-
siderably on account Of the increased
cost of motive power. We have, there
fore, made allowance Of Seven Thou
sand Dollars. ($7.ooo.0o). to meet this
increase in operating expense
It is perfectly clear that the decid-
Ing factor. in any proposed, purchase
! OF the water and light plants by the
| city. Is the sufficiency. of the gross an
nual earnings from both plants to meet
the annual charges and at, the same
| time leave a sufficient margin TO
permit of the present scale Of charges
for both water and light being reduced.
| It: may be pointed out that the light
plant is presently being operated. at
only two.thirds capacity, SO that. due
allowance should be made for future in
| crease in gross earnings which could
be made without materially increasing
the soperatingx expense -,

The Finance Committee submit the
following report on the petition pre-
scented TO the council requesting this
body to look into the ACCESSIBILITY of
purchasing the water and light plant
or install a new or duplicate plant.
The committee met February goth.
1911, and after going over the petition
decided it would be necessary to get
certain facts and figures to base an
Intelligent report on. This desired in
formation would cost an amount which
the committee did not desire to obli-
gate itself to without the consent Of
the majority of the council as whole,
consequently a resolution was drawn
and presented to the council authOriz
ing the Finance Committee to spend a
reasonable amount for the hire of such
help as may be necessary to arrive at
the desired information.
This resolution was passed by the
council and the committee hired a Sec

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS

Are Being Cured by Vinol
New Haven, Conn., was troubled
with a most persistent chronic cough
for a long time and had tried so many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that l was discouraged. l was
persuaded by my friends to try vi
mol. After taking the second bottle,
my cough left me, and l must say
never felt better in my life. l can al
so recommend Vinol to any one in a
rundown condition as the best posi-
BILE remedy"
1t is the combined action Of the
medicinal elements Of the Gods liv-
ers, aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron which makes Vinol so efficient in
curing chronic coughs, colds and
bronchitis-at the same time building
up the weakened, rundown system.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the IN
derstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you

AN IMPORTANT DECISION,
Judge c. n. Cooke Decides That
the Act establishing Record
er's Court Is Unconstitutional
in So Far as 1t Would Take
Away From Magistrates Their
Jurisdiction.
(Waxhaw Enterprise.

I - C@hlldA LLElS1 4SE.
There was an important and
far-reaching decision in Z case
tried in the Superior court at
Monroe last week, and one which
will be OF interest to every cIti-
zen IN the county. for it was di-
rectiy on the question of the va
lidity OF the act of the Legisla-
ture which established the Re
corder's court Of the city of Mon
roe. There was a provision in
the act establishing the Record
er's court which attempted to
take from the justices of the
peace in Monroe township their
power to issue warrants and try
criminal actions, and since the
Recorders court began it has in
stituted and tried all criminal
causes within that township
which had formerly been within
the jurisdiction of justices Of the
peace. The validity Of the act
on that point had been question
ed by many of the legal minds of
the State, but the point had not
been passed upon by the courts
until last week.
Some time ago our fellow
townsman, Mr.. ]. E. Doster, was
found off his own premises with
in the township Of Monroe and
without the limits Of the city Of
Monroe with a shotgun on the
Sabbath day, and upon complaint
being made a warrant was is
sued for him by Esquire M. L.
Flow. He was taken before said
NJ. L. Flow, tried, found guilty
and taxed with one penny and
the costs. Mr.. Doster, through
MS counsel, questioned the juris-
diction of the magistrates court,
appealed to the Superior court on
the question, and upon a
thorough investigation Of the
matter his Honor, c. NJ. Cooke.
Judge Of the Superior court, held
that the Recorders court act,
in SO far as it attempted to
take from justices Of the peace
their power TO issue warrants
and try criminal cases, was IN
constitutional, and that justices
Of the peace in Union county
now have the same right and
power to try criminal cases as
they had before the establish
nent Of the Recorders court, for
their power is. given to them by
Lne constitution and cannot be
taken from them by an act of
the Legislature.
1t is understood that the mag
istrates over the county will now
exercise their criminal powers as
they used to Go and since it is so
much less costly to try and de-
termile cases in the courts OF
justices Of the peace than it is in
the Recorders court, it is very
probable that these courts will
hereafter be resorted to by all
the people rather than the Re-
corder's court. What effect this
is likely to have upon the Re-
cOrder's court is still a question.
It is very probable that the coun-
ty will find it rather more ex-
pensive to operate the Record
er's court than it will be worth,
and if such should prove the case
the Recorders court will no
doubt be abandoned, for the peo-
pie and taxpayers will hardly
want to continue it if it does not
pay expenses.
The case above mentioned has
been appealed to the Supreme
court for final decision.

have to be made again for some
time to come. The repairs have been
general and extend from the base
ment to the wires overhead, includ-
ing the wagons, fire alarm system,
etc.
AS you will not the fire records
OF the city for the past year have
been remarkable, considering the
dangerous condition in which the
city was at times, due to dryness
and lack of water.
Losses Are Small.
The losses have been small. very
little water used ESTIMATED 200, 900
gallons) but the alarms increased to
eighty-five, fifteen more than any
former year
Other recommendation are as fol-
lows:
The erection for stand pipes for
sprinklers and fushers. Fire hy-
drants to be used for fire purposes
only. Several fire alarm boxes should
be added to the fire alarm system,
as there are several districts in need
OF them. A transmiter should also
be added to the alarm system, to
transmit a still alarm to box
alarm from the Central station.
A separate set Of books should
be kept in the department in de.
pendant of any other.
! In conclusion | wish to thank ex.
Mayor Meyer, Commissioners Bang.
