PERMISSION IS
GIVEN TO ISSUE
COMPANY BONDS
RAILROAD COMMISSION RENDER
ED DECISION IN WATER CON-
PANY NATTER.
Mutual Light and Water company's
Request to Issue Million in Bonds
Was Granted, But With Certain
Conditions.

The railroad commission passed an
order on Thursday granting the ap-
plication of the Mutual Light & Water
company to issue bonds There has
been considerable discussion in re-
gard to this proposition. and at the
hearing before the. commission some
weeas since the company was repre-
sented by President Strachan and At
torneys Dunwcdy and Twitty, while
ex-Mayor R. R. Hopkins appeared in
opposition to the issue.
The application of i, company was
for authority to issue tonds as fol-
lows: $225,000 to take up and refund
a like amount of bonds now outstand-
ing on the property; $l75,000 for the
purchase cf like amount of bonds OH
the properties of the City & Suburban
railway, and which have already been
authorized by the railroad commission.
These are the only bonds that are re-
quested to be issued at this time; the
application and form of bond provides
That hereafter the company may issue
bonds to buy additional bonds of the
street railroad when the latter COM
pany makes extension of it's lines
and issues bonds thereon, and also
provides for the SIS ue of additional
bonds from time to time eual to the
actual cash cost of extensions, i'm
provements and betterments of the
light and water plant For instance,
if the company should within the next
12 months expend ten thousand dol
lars IN extensions and Improvements
they could issue and sell bonds just
to that amount, and so on, from time
to time, as improvements are made.
The bonds run for As years, and the
authority to issue these additional
ments are made, covers the entire pc
riod. However no additional bonds
can be issued for these purposes in
any amount until special application
is made therefor to the railroad ccm-
mission and that body grants an order
authorizing the issue TIE total limit
of the issue is one million dollars,
that is, six hundred thousand dollars
in addition to the issue now authoriz-
ed. If during the next 45 years the
street railway and the light and water
companies expend 100000 in making
improvements and extensions the
whole authorized amount of tonds
will be issued, and if less amount is
expended bond will be, issued accord
nigly 1t is to be hoped that Bruins
wick will have such rapid growth and
development that these companies
will have to spend the 100000 long
before the 45, years roll around The
officers of the company state that if
the provision for these additional
bonds was not inserted it would be
necessary, every time improvements
were made, to call in the entire out
standing issue of bonds, make a new
application to the railroad commission
and then make new mortgage.
Officers of the street railway COM
pany have announced their intention
to promptly extend the railroad out
to the new turpentine plant and prac-
tically to the crate and box factory, a
distance of about 1000 feet.

Roosevelt and the Steel Deal.

Mr.. Roosevelt says that when he
was asked whether he would assent
to the absorption Of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company by the steel
trust the occasion was one that de-
manded instant action; that timidity
seeks excuses for evading responsible
ity and deferring action, but that
whatever was to be done In this
case had to be done instantly, and
he did not.
No one will question the readiness
Of Mr. Roosevelt to assume any re,
sponsibility at any moment and to act
on the instant. If he does not love
responsibility he is certainly not
afraid OF any amount OF 1t, and he is
undeniably fond Of power. He loves
to act. and the bigger the occasion the
more he enjoys it.
- In this case all that Mr.. Roosevelt
knew Of the financial situation in New
ork was what he was told by two
representatives Of the steel trust
which would head on rival and get
more than $2OO,OO0,0OO worth OF prop
erty for about $30,000,O00. and the sort
Of property 1t most needed for estab'
fishing its power over the steel in
dustry OF the country-coal and ore
deposits. The evidence SO far taken
leaves it very doubtful whether the
substitution Of steel bonds for Ten
nessee shares stayed the panic, and
not certain that 1t was necessary in
order to save Moore & Schley. Fur
thermore, it is important to remem
Der that the question Mr.. Roosevelt
decided was a judicial question. II
was whether the proposed absorption
would violate the Sherman law.
