Lure of Lost Inheritances

Won Halde confessed on his death bed
that the inheritances had been de-
posted in his bank, and that by
means of them he had made his own
fortune.
Since then every effort has been
made to trace the bequests through
the municipality of Augsburg, the Ba'
varian minister Of the interior. and
the courts. There are endless docu'
ments In the case, but the money has
never appeared. Recently the Dres'
den bank absorbed the Won Halde
bank business, and the heirs are now
OF the opinion that It must account to
them for sl7,500.O00 and they have en-.
gagged distinguished Munich lawyer
to devote his time to search for the
money.

OUR PUBLIC UTILITIES.

We publish elsewhere this week the
report of the committee appointed by
the Chamber Of Commerce to investi
gate the matter of perfecting the sew.
er system of the city, installing an
electric lighting plant and erecting a
new school building.
We commend the report to the care
full study of our readers
The electric lighting system is rec
commended on the ground that ii
would pay a profit, and in that way
meet the deficit which the water
works department will encounter as
matters now stand. The committee
recommends that such part of the
equipment OF the present lighting
plant as could be used be bought if ii
can be done on a reasonable basis
This suggestion seems to be in the
line Of good business judgment, and
if negotiations are begun, we trust
both sides will meet the situation in
a spirit of fairness.
If the water, sewer and lighting
problems can be adjusted without un.
necessary loss and without delay, II
will be a great step for the city, and
we hope that end will be attained
The Council has ordered an election
at which the people will have an OPP
portunity to vote on the question OF
bonds There should be a full regis
tration and the people should be given
complete information on which to base
intelligent action.
