NO One PROPOSES SELLING CITY LIGHT PLANT
Investigation by Mr. FrOhbach Not for That End Nor Could Be
Done Without Vote of The People

| cept by a vote of the people How
ever, there does seem to be a decided
sentiment against the voting of more
bonds, in view OF past loose account
ing methods, without some more def
mite knowledge as to the purposes
to which it is to be put; the prob
ability that it win render the plant
more nearly self-supporting, and,
above all, WHETHER OR NOT IT
WILL INTERFERE WITH THE WA
TERWORKS SYSTEM. The latter is
the vital question in the matter. A
useless addition to the bonded in
debtedness of $25, 900 is bad enough.
The crippling of Ashland's water sys-
TEN would be infinitely worse.
The present plant has done all that
is possible in the way of lowering
rates. All that an addition could do
that would be of benefit to the city
would be to increase the net earn
ings or decrease the net loss. Wheth-
er or not this can be accomplished by
the proposed bond issue seems to be
the question before the people, and
many of them believed the Frohbach
Investigation necessary to determine
the status of the present plant as
preliminary to deciding the main
question. For this reason, as the
writer understands it, the business
men and others contributed to have
this examination made and published.
The other phase of it, that OF danger
of erlppling the waterworks system,
is one that is even harder to decide,
and there seems even more conflict
OF evidence and opinion in this mat
ter than in the other.
The Tidings fully understands that
the city plant has saved money for
the light users, nor has anyone de-
MED that, but the question of taxing
all the people for the benefit of part
is a question to be decided by the
voters, and they should know wheth-
er or not 1t is necessary to do this;
whether or not it is possible to make
the city plant self-sustaining.

WOULD REMOVE BARN.
City Asked to Have Max Prachht
Remove Structure.

Attorney B. F. Mulkey appeared
before the city council Tuesday even
ing to petition them in behalf of E. j.
Arant that Max Pracht be compelled
to remove a barn recently erected by
him near Euclid avenue. The petit
ton, which was very lengthy, recited
that Pracht built the foundation
seven years ago and put up the barn
last August. That. it was on higher
ground than the residence of petit
toner and that the manure leached
onto petitioners land and the odor
annoyed him and his family.
The matter was referred to the
sanitary committee.
Councilman Cunningham asked
Mr.. Mulkey to define a nuisance and
he defined it as anything that an
noyed any number of people or that
was detrimental to their health or
that damaged their property.

EyangeIistic Meetings.

In response to the call published
in last weeks papers, a number of
the local pastors met Monday at the
Presbyterian manse to discuss and
arrange for a series of union evan
gelistic services this coming winter.
After a general discussion of the
ways and means, it was unanimously
decided to begin the meetings Janu-
airy and to hold week of services
in each of the following church build
ings in the order named Congre-
gational, Presbyterian, Baptist and
NJ. E., making four weeks in all as
the minimum. Committees on
finance, music, advertising, etc,
were appointed. Further details will
be given the public each week. The
announcement is made now in order
that all interested may arrange their
affairs so as to attend the services.
Meanwhile the pastors ask that all
the Christian people of the city unite
their prayers for an outpouring of
the Holy Spirit upon this union move
merit.

College Boy Daren't Spend More
Than Dad.

New Sixty-five dollars is
too much for college boy to pay
for an overcoat when his father is
wearing a $40 one, and the New York
supreme court has just declined to
enforce payment by the father of a
tailor's bill of this character.
The suit was brought by tailor
in Middletown, Conn, against M. A.
Bailey of New York, whose son is a
student at Wesleyan University
When the tailor sent his bill to Bal
ley, the father replied:
Il acknowledge no responsibility
for this account. My son needed an
overcoat and | expected to purchase
it for him at $40. The clothes | ex-
pected to purchase were of the grade
that | purchased for myself The
grade is in harmony with his station
in life"

THE CLUB
IS GROWING
NINE NEW MEMBERS TAKEN INTO
COMMERCIAL CLUB.
new BOOKLET IS DISCUSSED
ID. M. Lowe Told of Experiences in
Portland Trip-Other Business of
Importance Transacted.

The Commercial Club held its reg
ular monthly meeting last Monday
evening. An interesting feature of
the meeting was a talk from d. M.
Lowe, as to the recent Land Products
Show at Portland. Mr.. Lowe talks
interestingly and held the attention
Of the club closely. Mr. Lowe stated
that a good share of the credit for
his success at the show should go to
Mrs. Lowe, whose preserves, canned
fruits, etc, were an important part
of the exhibit. The club voted that
the prize of $3.50, outside the 500
pledged by the club, should go to
Mr.. and Mrs. Lowe and will present
them a testimonial later.
There were nine new members
elected, as follows: Max Pracht,
Gerald Woods, w. T. Veghte, Ed
Hadfield, B. ]. Griffith Avery Trask,
B. w. Talcott, Sidney Sanderson and
c. w. Fraley.
The matter of the Sunset booklet
was taken up and contract entered
into with that magazine for adver-
tisement as heretofore outlined. A
committee consisting of C.. B. Wat
son, G. F. Billings, G. B. Lamkin and
d. NJ. Lowe was appointed to consult
with the Sunset Magazine regarding
the booklet.
A vote of thanks was given the
Southern Pacific Railway Company
for its courtesies in connection with
the exhibit at the Land Products
Show

people of the city. This money was
spent, and the city plant was but par
italy completed.
Again the city council had esti.
mates made and it was decided that
it would take an additional $4,000
to complete the plant and the people
were again asked to vote that amount
OF bonds with the assurance that the
same would be amply sufficient.
That amount was expended, and
still the plant was incomplete. Again
they came to the people for $4,000
more bonds to complete the plant,
| and the people, having made a start,
concluded to see the matter through
and again voted the required amount
That amount has zeen expended, and
now 1t is found, so they claim, that
the plant will not furnish the re-
quired amount of current, and again
| they come and ask the people to vote
$4,000 more bonds, and if such last
amount should be voted we venture
to say that it would be but a begin
ming of further bond issues. For
illustration: The estimates made
are that it will require $4,000 to ex-
tend the distributing system. That
may be so, as when that amount
shall have been expended something
certainly will have been done, al
though it may not be all that one
would expect. The other $4,000 is
to be applied in building another
power plant at the intake of the
lower water system, taking the water
from the upper system, through
which it is now distributed to the
people, and distributing all the water
through the lower system, of which
purpose we are satisfied that the peo-
pie who live on the uplands and have
been greatly crippled in the past for
sufficient water, cannot approve.
But of this vital point we do not pre-
tend to deal in this article We wish
to show that the estimate made for
the construction of the electric plant
at the lower system cannot be built
for $4,000, and that the move is
metsly an adroit method of agar
pulling the wool over the eyes of the
voters and getting them to make {
start, and then have to vote more
bonds to perfect another plant.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1912-12-05

. The report has been started that
the investigation into the finances OF
the city light plant had for its object
the creating of a sentiment that
would compel the selling of the plant.
So far as the Tidings can learn there
is no foundation for this. There has
been for several months rumor that
the plant was not paying, despite re-
ports of those in charge, and it was
purely a desire to know the facts that
induced a goodly number of the busi-
ness men and taxpayers of the city
ito contribute toward the getting and
publishing of the report. 1t is GER
tain that the report was not ordered
for the purpose of putting the plant
in a hole" nor does the writer be-
lieve that there has been any attempt
to do so. The superintendent recent
ly stated in signed communication
to the Tidings that the plant was
more than paying its way and that it
was laying aside money toward pay
ing the bonds. Mr.. Butterfield said:
There is income sufficient at this
time to pay operating expenses, de-
preciations and lay aside a sinking
fund to pay off the bonds and inter-
est on the same"

questioned and the Frohbach exami-
nation of the books was the result
That this report was questioned is
probably largely because of the COM
mon belief that the books in the past
were so kept that it is impossible to
tell the cost of the plant, or any par
tieular part of it. This fact engen-
dered a suspicion that equally lax
methods of accounting might still
exist. and according to Mr.. Froh-
baeh's report they do still exist. The
taxpayers are certainly not to be
blamed for wanting to know these
things, and they are entitled to know
them. Their desire for this informa-
tion does not indicate that they are
opposed to the plant, much less that
they are working for the private
plant. No one has proposed the sale
of the plant except as those who take
exception to the report have spoken
of it, nor could the plant be sold ex-
