The question If the granting of a
franc hise to the new telephone COM
pany applying therefor came before
the city council in a new light on
Tuesday evening, when upon motion
of Alderman Heritage the clerk was
instructed to call for representatives
of the municipal bodies of all towns
where application had been made
for franchise by the new corpora
ton, or might reasonably be made,
to be held in this city on Saturday
afternoon, December 21st, to con-
slider the matter OF formulating a
uniform franchise for the govern
ment Of the corporation in all range
communities where the privilege of
building may be granted.
The various municipalities are
asked to send three or more rep
resentatives each, and the meeting,
to be held 1T the city hall, will
doubtless have much of interest to
to the contending factions in the
prospective light over tho issue.

MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE
Tom Marinsel Convicted in District
Court Wednesday for the Killing
of Lucy Bucovic in This City.

In district court the case of the
state against Tom Marinsel, charged
with the killing of Lucy Bucovic in
mis- city some two months ago, was
decided by the jury at the close of
three days trial on Wednesday, a
verdict of guilty in the first degree
being returned after the jury had
been out less than thirty minutes.
The cause of the murder was as
signed at the time to the fact that
.he girl rejected the suit of Marinsel
III the trial of the cause the prisoner
was defended by Attorney N. B. Ar
ncld, the state being represented by
Assistant County Attorney Boyle.
The story Of the killing as told at the
time was the outgrowth of jealousy
on the part of Marinsel, who alleged
faithlessness on the part of the girl,
who was engaged to be married to
George Malcich after having broken
with her former lover.
All testimony in the case had to
ne made through an Interpreter, the
prisoner being unable to speak Eng
ilsh. Following the commission Of
the deed Marinsel put ball into his
own head, but it failed to do good
work. AS a result his sentence, to
be pronounced later, will likely be
rne which will give him the balance
Of his life to wonder why he did not
shoot with better effect when he put
the gun to his own head

ESCAPED FROM An
indian UPRISING
Conductor Parker One of u Party at
International Falls Who Beat the
Redskins in Race for Life

Conductor Chas. Parker, one of
the popular punchers on the Rainy
Lake railway, was member of
party of congenial spirits who were
congregated at the International
Falls Hotel on Monday morning, at
about 4 o'clock, when cruiser
named Kennedy swooped down upon
them from the floor above with
look OF terror in his eyes and yell
IN his lips that would have awaken
ed the shadow of Paul Jones. in
forming them that a party of red
skins ware chasing him. The boys
pacified him to an extent, but evil
dently his sleeping potion was not
Of long duration, as a few moments
later one of thu party in glancing
around caught sight of Kennedy
coming down stairs with a gatling
gun, and no member OF the crowd
stopped to parley the question. They
.ook the story of the Indian uprising
as literally true, and the way they
beat it out of the houseand down the
streets would have done credit to any
oine second gazabo who ever had an
idea he could sprint, and close on
their heels came Kennedy with his
shooting iron.
A half hour later Kennedy had
been taken in charge by the police
and returned to the hotel in a ra-
tional mood, but Conductor Parker
vas compelled to take a days lay
off in order to catch his wind after
the race. Conductor Lyons taking his

Report of Tax=Payer's Committee on Light
and Water Question

charge was made on basis of years,
average age of plant, or PR cent per
year. This would make the depreciation
charge $19, 700 as against IS, $50 as given
by the council committee.
We will submit that the purchase
price of the plant is $492000, plus i'm
provements made since the submission
of the Burns & Mcdonnell report in
February last or total of approximate
ly $550,000. We find per cent on this
Investment is $27, 500, instead Of 1922, 500
ais given in the council committees re-
port, as an interest charge.
In order to repay the purchase price
in l63 years would require sinking
fund of per cent, or $4,000 per year.
We would submit that though the
purchase of the plant the city will lose
the tax increment from the plant, or ap"
proximately $4,000 per annum.
We would submit that the report Of
Burns d Mcdonnell, on which report
the report of the council committee aid
ed by the special city attorney, Bert
Fesler, is based, makes no allowance for
superintendent's salary, which under
municipal ownership will cost the tax
payers of Virginia some $4,000 per year.

The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1912-12-13

The committee appointed by the Tax.
Payers Association Of the City of Vir.
ginia to review the report made by the
special committee of the City Council
relative to the proposed purchase of the
light and water plant at Virginia, would
submit as follows:
The city council, in making it's 1912
assessment, has included direct tax
levy of 100000 to apply on the purchase
price, and from statements made by
those in direct control Of the city govern
m-nt at the present time, it is the evi-
dent intent to compel the taxpayer, the
man who by energy and ability has add.
ed to the upbuilding of the city, to con.
tinue to pay the annual assessments un
til the entire purchase price and any
deficit which may be permitted to occur
through necessary extensions and i'm
provements to the system, shall have
been made in full.
We would submit that some eight
years ago, during the last administra-
tion of Mr. M. L. Fay as Mayor, the plant
of the Virginia Electric Power & Water
Co. was offered to the city at $4,000.
We find by the report of the committee
that the present value of the plant,
tangibleand intangible, exclusive of the
''going value', is given as 1924, $685. or
total of 1854, 6O6 more than was asked
for the plant at that time. It is but fair
to persume that the company was not
proposing to make any donations to the
city in it's offer of $50, 900, which would
90 to prove that during the past eight
years there has been added to the value
of the plant upwards of $44, 600 per year.
We would further submit that not less
than one-third of the area of the city is
still to be supplied with water and light
system, and that being farthest from
the busines center Of the city, the sup
plying Of the coming demands of these
outlying districts will entail a greater
expense, pro rata and will bring a small.
er return on the investment
We find the committee has figured the
operating expenses at SIS, l34. We con-
slider this amount entirely inadequate,
inasmuch as the steam contract with the
Virginia. IL Rainy Lake Company will
call for the payment of $4,000 in 1913
and for four years thereafter the life of
the contract, instead Of $4,000 per annum
as during the past five years, on which
the operating expenses Of the plant has
evidently been based.
We find the committee has given the
maintenance expense at 81, l65, equaling
but one.third of one per cent. We find
the tangible property value Of the plant
to be given at $3949lG, and will submit
that, according to the opinions of ex
perts 3 per cent is a low maintenance
CHARGE per cent on the given valu
alton would be $ll, $40 instead of 81 ,l65.
We find the committee has allowed
depreciation charge of Is per cent. 1t is
the understanding that this depreciation
