OFFICIALS SUSPECT
THE GAS COMPANY
Believe Richmond Light,
Heat & Power Co. Is
Back of the Project.
FROM WEST VA. FIELD
Board of Works Suspects 1t
Is an Attempt TO Stifle
Competition.
FROM WEST VA. FIELD

That the agent for the proposed nat
ural gas company may be an agent for
the Richmond Light, Heat and Power
company is a suspicion entertained by
some of the city officials. II is gen.
orally believed that the Light. Heat
and Power company want to get con-
troll of the natural gas distribution in
Richmond to stifle competition.
Many of the Light, Heat and Power
companies are under the control of
the Standard Oil company and the Of
flee in Richmond is one of them ac-
cording TO a prominent citizen of the
city. President Kennepohl believes
that the person who is attempting to
install the natural gas in the city is an
agent of the Logan Gas company, the
largest gas distributors of West Vir-
ginia. This company is believed to be
under the control of the Standard Oil
company.
The West Virginia gas is odorless
dangerous, because persons do not
know when it is escaping. 1t will not
be good for lighting purposes but can
readily be used for heating.
Hipskind Satisfied.
John Hipskind appeared before the
board of works today and requested
that the five per cent reserve for the
paving of the roadway of West Fifth
street be paid him. The work was
completed last year but because of the
heavy hauling over the street it was
ruined and the macadam torn up, max
ing gulleys and ruts through the
street. Hipskind appealed to the
board for justice, saying that the road
was accepted when completed by him
and it was accepted at that time.
City Engineer Charles told the
members of the board that the money
was due Hipskind and should be paid
as the street had been used more
roughly during the past year than 1t
ordinarily would have been used for
five years. The reserve amounting to
$500 was paid.
The members of the board agreed
that a mistake had been made because
the street had not been brickd in.
stead of macadamized. The city of
ficials announced that every time a
street was paved hereafter especially
one with a street car line on it, il
would be bricked if the property hold,
ers did not object too seriously.
The city clerk was ordered to notify
George Lantz. of Dayton, Ohio. that
his fence was removed according to
law, and, that the contractor would
not have to replace it. Lantz recent
ly appealed to President Kennepohl
of the board of works to have the
fence replaced.
The telegraph poles in the alleys be-
tween Hunt and Ridge street and be.
tween Linden and Maple streets will
have to be removed if they ar not be.
ing used was the decision of the board
after hearing a complaint against the
poles. They are the property of the
Bell Telephone company.

Forest Reserves Gaining Rapidly.

Members of the state forestry board
who returned from a four days trip
In northern Wisconsin reported that
within the last four months prac-
tically 1900 acres have been added
to the forestry reserve, at prices rang
1ng from $3.50 to $3.50 per acre.
Besides this, the state has under
consideration the purchase of a 10000
acre tract in the vicinity of Little Car
lake, near Tomahawk, from an old
lumber company, 1t is believed this
few days as a result Of the boards
visit 1t is one of the prize pieces of
land which State Forester f. NJ. Grit
nth has had his eye on for the past
three years.
While at Tomahawk the forestry
board viewed the agricultural lands
which have been purchased as a part
of the forestry reserve, and now Dean
H L. Russell and Prof. H. c. Taylor
will attempt to work out feasible
plan for leasing these lands to set
tiers. During the past five years Pro
fessor Taylor has spent much of his
time studying the land rental problem
of Wisconsin and of other countries.
1t has been found that II is not I'M
common in Germany, France and Eng
land to rent lands that are arabic to
settlers for long period of time, pro-
vided that the state can reclaim them
at any time upon paying the settler a
reasonable sum to compensate him
for the improvements which he may
have made.
The land problem of northern Wis
consin will be one of the big issues
before the next legislature. One of
the features of the work of the state
board of public affairs is the investiga-
ton of the problem of how best to
place these lands, of which there are
nearly 100000 acres in northern
Wisconsin, for the best use OF set
tiers.

Must Give Full WeIaht.

Wisconsin cheese makers are mate
rally affected by an order issued by
the national board of dairy and food
inspectors in Washington, forbiddlng
the underweighing or oyermarking OF
cheese to allow for alleged shrinkage
1t is declared that cheese does not
shrink to any great extent after ship
ment from the factories and that this
reported oyermarking is unjustified
Dealers say that the practice is sim
ply giving of short measure to the
consumers and is a typical Instance
of reported short weight and meas
ures system that is responsible, in part
at least, for the present high cost of
living
The national board conducted ex-
tensiye experiments and tests three
years ago this summer. Hundreds Of
boxes of cheese over the country were
weighed and closely observed before
and after shipping.
There have been many prosecutions
resulting from this practice but no
general rule has before been estab-
lished.

VIII Not Insure CAPITOL.

Contrary to the policy followed by
most states, the state of Wisconsin
will not insure its $6,000,000 capitol,
now under construction, through pri-
vate companies. The policy of insur-
ing the statehouse, university build
ings, the state asylums and other pub
lie institutions by a deficiency fund
process rather than by private COM
panies was instituted during the reign
OF Governor La Toilette and has been
continued by his successors. The old
capitol burned in 1904 and left a &C.
felt of $4,000 in the fire insurance
fund.
Most states would probably have
abandoned such an experiment with an
apparently disastrous law, but Wis
consin chose to cling to this principle,
and the Accommodations OF subse-
Quent years have wiped out the deficit.
The state charges itself less than so
per cent of the premiums of the New
York fire insurance companies, and is
so satisfied with It's experience that
in 1911 by an act of the legislature II
extended the privilege of the insur-
ance fund to counties, while cities and
school districts are asking that they
be privileged to enjoy it's advantages.
