A Few Inquiries.

Mr Editor: As a taxpayer and stockholder in the public utilities in Norwich, was much interested in President Tracy's retiring address. As it did not seem clear to me, hope he will excuse me if I ask a few uues- tions When he talks about depre- citation fund as profits are we to un- Eerstand from him that wear and tear thus provided for is not loss Then he said none of the taxpayers money had yet been put into the bus mess, and does this mean that the interest paid out of the general tax fund on the purchasing notes and notes for improvements is not tax money? Mr. Tracy is quoted as hav- ing said:
 Take the item of city lighting: When the plant was taken over by the city the charge for the arc lights was s90 each; last year it was $66.50 each. This is yearly saving on the 237 arc lights of s5,569.50.
 When the plant was taken by the city the charge for bug lights was $15 each, and they burned till midnight. burn all night, a yearly saving on the 300 lights of $1,5S4. making a total saving of $7.134.50.
 The old company paid taxes on s30035O, which at last years rate would amount to $b,60L50, thus show Ing net SaVlng or S0S0.3U over tHe amount of' taxes paid by the old com pany."
 Now if President Tracy had said the city is today charging for electric bulbs where the old company furnish ed them free, and denying to the prompt paying patrons the ten per cent. rebate that the old company used to make to him, given us the to- tai gain because of this to municipal management and loss to the patrons, l think his statement would have been more-iefinite and understandable. and the patrons would know nearer what their light is costing and what the city is making.
 Selling electricity for ten cents a kilowatt hour to the small consume CT for lighting purposes and to the in dustries for two cents kilowatt hour, looks to me very much like a four hundred per cent. advantage which amounts in the main to heavy in direct tax on the little fellow in the interests of running electric eleva- tors, etc.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

 Mir. Editor: In your issue of this morning you publish q letter from AL bert Boardman. MT. Boardman. states that the people of Haverhill were handed a gold brick" in the commits sion form of government and that one city official elected under the new charter had been removed from office at the last election.
 l. It is one of the advantages of the commission form of government that the people can discriminate between officials and can replace inefficient men without overturning the whole city government. Furthermore, einvestiga- tion discloses the fact that it was a real "gold brick that was handed to the city of Haverhill, as shown by the report of Harvey s. Chase & Co, pub lie accountants:

Mr.. James, the winner, is a vigor-
