GHANTz COMPANY ExPLODfs
ABSURD STORIES CIRCULATED
WILLING TO MAKE AGREEMENT
WITH CITY COUNCIL TO oPER
ATE ELECTRIC PLANT CON
TlNUousLY.

Because of the circulation of stor-
les to the effect that there is a
possibility that the Schantz Electric,
Ice and Water company may close
down its electric light plant here
in case the gas franchise ordinance
is accepted by vote of the people,
to compel the installation of gas con-
nections and meters, Manager E. L.
Gum of the Schantz company has
been notified by the head officers
of the company that they are willing
to enter into a contract with the city
council, in case the gas franchise is
accepted by the people, that the 10
cal electric plant will be operated
continuously, day and night, through
ont the year.
The stories concerning the posi-
bility of the present light plant being
shut down had reached the ears OF
the head officers, and to give the
people of Dayton4 the assurance the
company has no idea of closing down
the SISStIAC 11Spl pAc1bC stl any SAlIS
Manager Gum was authorized to as
sure the people of this city that as
soon as the gas franchise ordinance
is accepted by the people the com
pany will make written Agreements
with the city council, which will com
pei the operation of the e'ectrit
1 Miami continuously.
The stories said to have been cir
culated about the city in an effort tC
defeat the gas franchise ordinance
when it comes up for vote of tht
people at the special election to b
held February q, are that there i:
nothing in the franchise held by tht
Schantz electric company which com
pels that company to keep the pres
ent light plant in operation, and
was hinted there is a scheme ol
foot to close down the light plant t.
compel people to put in gas for light
The word of the officials to Manage
Gum explodes all such ideas.

The pay roll of these have kept
things going and have made business
fairly good. The building activities
by means of which the city has been
catching up in the growth that is
warranted by the industries that have
already located here has been a big
factor in preventing a collapse of
business locally.
Now with the small industries do

HOW ABOUT 1T, Gov?

The Fifth district is not the only
place Governor Marshall has been
putting in for the past four years.
During his campaign for governor,
Marshall declared from the platform
upon numerous occasions that he
would simply be the executive of the
state and would not try to be all
three branches of the state govern
ment in one.
How well he kept his promises is
shown by the way he vetoed the Gary
court bill and the hand he took in
the Gary municipal election in 1909.
1t was only last Friday that Cover
nor Marshall sent telegram to Re-
publican candidate for prosecutor
congratulating him upon the convic-
tion of a Democrat and urging him
to continue the good work.-Gary

SECRETIvE GENTLEMEN.

1t is the custom of some heads of
industries in this region to neither
allow themselves to be interviewed
nor to permit their department heads
to talk for publication.
These gentlemen sometimes remark
that newspapers never get certain
news correctly detailed and they are
quite prolific in their comments up
ON the carelessness and inaccuracy of
newspapers. When reporters meet
with men of this type they must de-
pend upon their own resources to OBJ
tain the facts. Consequently a story
gathered In this manner may not
measure up to the standard of ac-
curacy of one which would be based
ON official information yet on the
whole a newspaper man usually sue
ceeds in his efforts despite the i'll ad.
vised secretiveness of those who can
give out legitimate information.
Not long ago THE TIMES received
communication from superintend
emit criticizing certain details in an
account of an accident which had oc
Cured. Yet a reporter for this news
paper had endeavored to get from the
protestant the very same details
which the latter had represented al
inaccurately recorded as far as minor
facts were concerned. The reporte,
had the story and the superintendent
did not aid his company by his atti
tude of remaining silent.
However, not all Industrial head
are of this sort. Some of them ar,
adopting the broad views of Z tina
great industrial captain, Ebert H
Gary, and are not only civil but &C
comrnodating in their attitude to
wards the press. And these are tn
ones who have the mental breadth
to climb higher.
