Comment On Financial Statement.
From the above figures it is shown
that the actual revenue from the Light
ing Plant during the first full year of OPP
Grafton has been 81, 1854 which with
$ll3.95 representing unpaid electric light
service bills and the charge of $500 for
street lighting gives gross revenue of
$2l79.29 for the plant, and indicates that
in comparatively short time the plant
is not only going to be fully self sustain
ing, but will be source of revenue 10
the town.
The charge of $500 credited to lighting
streets and Town Hall simply represents
an amount of money which was used
from the tax funds on the electric light
plant account to offset plant improve
ments and extraordinary repairs amount
ing to approximately $3.50 and the gener-
al deficit in the electric light plant ac-
count.
After-a careful survey of these condi-
tions and due consideration of the rapid
increase in the number of light consum-
ers, the taxpayers of Thurmont will prob
ably feel highly gratifed with the show
ing of their Municipal Electric Light
Plant.
During the administration of the re-
firing Board, more new pavement was
laid than during that of any previous one,
one entire side of Altamont avenue be-
ing paved with concrete with modern
concrete sidedrains, and it is reasonable
to believe that within two or three years
this character of sidewalk will prevail
exclusively.
Another important action of the Board
and of which the public should be fully
acquainted, is legislation enacted at the
last session of the Legislature. The
Board, in order to legalize the excess ex-
penditure over and above the authorized
bond issue for the purchase of the Light
ing Plant, has secured authority by bill
enacted, to sell an additional So, 900 worth
of bonds or Corporation Notes. This
must not be understood as an additional
loan but simply legal means of taking
care of money borrowed on temporary
loans at the time the plant was purchas-
ed and which will also permit the return
to the Corporations general fund, $500
of the amount borrowed therefrom when

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Easter week, commencing Monday
April 9Th, Henry B. Harris will present
Frank Mcintyre in
SNOBS,
a satirical farce by George B. Howard.
No more the jolly fat drummer of the
"Traveing Salesman" fame, but now
a full fiedged star, with the right to
have his name in big letters on the cleo
trio signs, Frank Mcintyre will come to
Ford's on Monday evening, April 8, after
one weeks engagement in the Hudson
Theatre, New York. The success of
"Snobs, the comedy by George Howard
which took New York by storm and dem
onstrated Mr.. McIntyre's right to the
stellar rank to which he has been pro-
NOTED by Henry B. Harris. In ''Snobs"
the big comedian will be seen as milk
man turned Duke. As the milkman, he
has never been touched by the arrows
of the naked god, but as Duke, he soon
falls in love and makes love much as one
imagines milkman would, but with
great success. Mr.. Mcintyre is easily
given the greatest opportunity of his
career in "Snobs'', which is conceded to
be the comedy hit of the present season.
Manager Harris has seen to it that his
newest star has adequate support.

10000 CARS IS
ESTIMATE Of
RIO GRANDE Ry,

A preliminary estimate prepared
by the Denver K Rio Grande rail-
road on the Western slope fruit crop
for this year places 1t at 10000 cars.
or more than double last years har-
vest. In some localities the pros
poets are for a crop which is three
times as great as the crop of 1911
says Denver dispatch today.
The estimates which the company
furnishes the refrigerator car lines
each year and upon which these lines
base their demand for cars to handle
the crop. will not be made until about
the first week in June This delay is
to insure the passage of all danger of
frost. This is the first year in which
the buds have gone for this length of
time without frost appearing, and it
is now believed that the danger. is
past.
The full significance of the figures
comprising this years estimate be-
comes apparent when compared
with the entire tonnage handled by
he Denver & Rio Grande during the
past few years. Ten thousand cars is
equal to 10000 tons. Between
July 1, 1910 and June 80. 1911 { the
company handled lO5.T7l tons of
fruit. That tonnage came not only
from the Western slope. but from
Utah. the Canon City district and all
points on its line. This shows that
the estimate for the Western slope
this year is for $1,000 tons more than
was handled during the last fiscal
year from all points in Colorado,
| Utah and New Mexico.
In 1909-191O the entire crop ham
died b ythe company from all dis
tricts was 1886 tons. During the
| fiscal year of the entire system was
| 62,OSO, or about half of the tonnage
which the preliminary reports say
will be taken from the Western
show the enormous growth of the
fruit industry in Colorado in the
slope alone this year. The figures
past five years and the indications
point to a continuation of this
growth on even greater scale on ac-
count of the numerous orchards
which are now coming into bearing.

TONER Up To
OLD TRICKS

Red" Toner, who won't be for
gotten by Grand Junction fans as
long as baseball is memory, is gar
nering laurels on the Pacific coast
now. The following story of the
Portland-Frisco game in the Pacific
coast league written by AL c.. JOY will
be appreciated by local diamond en-
thusiasts who recall the heart-break-
ing efforts of various Colorado ag-
gregations to smite the sphere when
delivered by the lovable Red"
San Francisco, May 2l.-"Red"
Toner, who has pitched something
like III hitless innings out in right
field since the season opened, twirl-
ed through nine successive ones OF
the same variety this afternoon at
Recreation Park. 1t was against
Portland that the sorrel party from
Texas got his Introduction to Old
Kid Fame. Throughout the whole
performance he had the men from
the Northland swinging like a barn
door before the wild west wind.
Those who did not swing in vain
found only fraction of the slippery
sphere, and in consequence they
popped out, flied out or grounded
out, or possibly were enabled to get
oli odlSls ~ an u lOl-. bul not one
of them got hit, and not one of
them got around the circuit. 1t
was the first no-hit. no-run game of
the year for the league.
The ruby-top Texan has started
several times before. Generally
somebody else has finished. He
couldn't get to going right But one
day last week after permitting To-
ner to wear a smooth place in the
bench for several weeks, Long sent
him in and Red" showed some
thing. So he was sent in today
Danny Long wasn't on the bench, and
when Toner hit the first man with
the ball nobody was sent to the side
lines to warm up The gentleman
with the July F~lirth effect beneath
his hat was left to get himself out
of the situation.
But with the no-hit and no-run
columns the Seals were lucky to win.
If ever they can get a bunch of pitch
ers capable of tearing off no-hit. no
run games every day, these hitting
demons might win a championship.
They gathered in five hits for their
own share today. Five hits all to-
gether, and they were far enough
apart for telephone service.
For seven innings it was a pitching
battle between Klawitter and Toner.
but the Seals finally got to the Bea-
YER twirler and got the runs that
gave them victory.
