Electric Light Department.
Water. Works Department-

Inquiry will reveal the fact that no.
where have private owned plants ever
furnished city with light and water
even as low as the highest figures the
respective departments show above.
But even at the low cost to which
the maintenance of this service has
been brought the past year, the Board
of Public Affairs, if given proper cred
1t for the service, would have ample
funds to carry on their business.
Figuring the SO lights at SlS.6
each and you must give the depart
ment credit of S1,547.12. Likewise
the 1877 fire hydrants at $35 80 each
adds $4,559.30, making a total really
due this department of SO, 1O6.42.
More than this, the average cost of
lighting by private owned concerns
will be found to be about $50 per light,
while the hydrsnts are usually main
tanned at cost of about $50 each. Fig
uring on this basis the department is
entitled to over S12, 900 each year.
Let us figure bit before we howl.
Celina undoubtedly enjoys the best
fire protection of any town Its size in
the state, while our streets are better
lighted than cities many times this
size. With these advantages we are
still conducting the two plants with
possible saving to the town and to the
people of over six thousand dollars
each year.

MAYOR AIRS
OUR NEEDS
IN MESSAGE
To City Fathers-Law Enforce.
ment That Enforces a
Crying Need.
Sinking Fund Is Sunked and No
Money in Sight to Pay
Our Obligations.

Council met in regular session last
Tuesday night with all members pre-
sent but Winkeljohan and Schunck,
with Mayor Kenney presiding.
Following the usual opening routine,
the clerk read the various monthly re-
ports of the village departments, and
the annual report of Fire Chief Henry
Weisman. This report shows that
the department answered 23 alarms
during the year, two more than during
the previous year. The total estimated
loss by fire and water is placed at
$4,000.
The cost of maintaining the depart
ment for the year was S2,779.7 the cost
of keeping the fire team being kept
down to 6s cents per day for the two
horses, which is certainly very cred
table showing.
The clerk further read the report of
the street committee on the number
of sidewalks, built the past year, that
had been accepted by the committee.
There were almost a hundred.
Then came the reading of a lengthy
message of Mayor Kenney to the
council TO take action upon during the
coming year. The message recon-
mended councils taking up the sewer
age question:; the establishment of a
cleanup day; the appointment of
sealer of weights and measures; action
compelling the Lake Erie and Western
railroad company to provide suitable
waiting rooms; parking of the south
end of the city; widening and repair
ing of the Resesvoir bank road; and
law enforcement. Much space was de-
voted to the last mentioned subject,
with reference to the selling of liquor
to drunkards snd minors; the selling
of liquor on Sunday; the permitting of
to enter the saloons and pool |
rooms, and the splitting on sidewalks. |
He also recommended in this connec-
ton that the police officers be compell-
ed to file monthly report with coun-
ell as to their dOings.
Councilman Lennartz, on behalf of
the Citizens Banking Co., then called
councils attention to the fact that he
held a couple of orders on the village
treasurer, amounting to some four
hundred dollars, but that the village
repositories refused to honor the
orders, claiming they had no money in
the sinking fund, on which fund the
orders were drawn. Clerk Winter
stated the two banks acting as depos-
tories held something over Sl,lO0 of
The village money and he didn't see
why the banks should refuse to accept
he orders. After lengthy discussion
n regard to the matter council ad-
ourned, without enlightening Mr..
Lennartz as to how he was to get his
money.

One Step Nearer
the Penitentiary

The. case of State of Ohio vs.. John
Horton, the confidence man and alleg-
ed dealer in green goods, added anoth-
or interesting chapterin its progress
Tuesday at Marion, o., where a mo-
ton was argued to the Circuit Court
asking for a re-hearing by Horizons
attorneys, Geo. w. Mannix, of Green
vile, and John Egan, of Dayton, while
the state was represented by Prosecu-
ing Attorney John G.. Romel.
The principal points relied upon by
the counsel for the defendant, who is
out under bond no two years peniten-
tiary sentence, were technicalities.
Judges Hurin, Donnelly and Kinder
of the Circuit Court in their ruling
held that they had not erred in render
ing their opinion in a previous matter
in another county other than Mercer,
and consequently the case goes to
the Supreme court.
Counsel went to Columbus, where
they secured the date of Feb. 16 for
hearing the case in Supreme court,
which will terminate Horizons fate.

PLANTS PROVE
GOOD ASSET
Knockers Ought to Be Ashamed
to Stare Wooden Indian
in the Face.

At this time, when kicks galore are
being registered with the clerk be-
cause of the big cost of light bills, and
when coals-sOme almost red hot-are
being slung at the members of the
Board of Public Affairs because of
their alleged extravaganza, The DEM
ocrat takes pleasure in referring to a
bit OF information, as regards the
plants, CLEANED from the annual re-
port of Clerk Geo. Petrie of the Board
now being completed.
That little old water works plant,
installed years ago, with a couple doz-
en- citizens as unsteady consumers, and
which has at numerous times since its
installation saved the city from dis
astrous blazes that would have footed
possibly into the hundreds of thous-
ands, has increased its usefulness for
commercial purposes until to-day
there are almost four hundred steady
consumers enrolled on the books.
More rapid has been the growth of
the light plant, which has increased its
handful of customers, until now, when
better than five hundred users of the
mysterious fluid are enrolled.
Each year comes the usual COM
plant of the cost of these two plants to
the city, but if given proper credit for
the excellent lighting of the town and
the ample distribution of ire hydrants,
not only would the plants be self-sus-
but the Board of Public
Affairs would this year have a neat
little balance to their credit.
From the annual reports of the VII
Iage clerk for the past five years we
take the following figures:
