COMMITTEE REPORT
FAVORS GAS PLANT

thus make cheaper gas for the con-
sumner.
Board Makes Report
The report of the board OF control
on the plant for the period from De
cember /, 1911, to April 80. 1912.
showed total OF gas made OF 4s.399.-
600 cubic feet: gas sold. 29.766. 700
cubic feet: gas unasccounted for. OF
wasted. 1852. 800 cubic feet. In this
the percentage of gas unaccounted for
Is about IS per cent. The cost Of
making this gas was SIS. 3O5 or 37.S2
per 1000 cubic feet. making the cost
OF the gas sold 81 soc per 1000. The
revenue derived from the plant during
this period was SIS. S36.75. and de-
Quoting from this the expense for the
period leaves a net profit OF 1881 as.
However. during the months OF Feb
ruary, March and April there was an
extraordinary expense for repairing
services and mains OF S1.i26.99. and
deducting this from the expense for
the period would leave a profit OF
s2.65s74
In the comparative statement show
Ing the cost OF gas in January OF the
present year compared 10 the month
OF April. In January the total amount
OF gas manufactured was lO.2Os 900
cubic feet and the cost OF manufac-
ture per thousand was 27.C4c. while
in April only 1915. 900 cubic feet was
manufactured at cost OF 2S.S2c per
thousand, showing that almost 5000
900 less gas WAS manufactured in
April than in January. but the cost
was greater and proving the conten-
ton that the more gas manufactured
the cheaper II would be in proportion.
This report gave the committee

general lines. Superintendent Miller

questions regarding the operation Of

Sands ReVerses Himself
When the questions ceased Mr..
Sands arose and stated he was much
pleased with the report and was sat

hands Of the board or control to
work out the problem in their own

COUNCILMAN SANDS REvERsEs
FORMER POSITION AND
SUPPORTS PLANT. !
Report Of Board OF Control on Plant
Shows Excellent Opportunity
TO Put on Paying Basis.

II the recommendation OF the
Joint gas committee with the board
OF Natural gas as an illuminant will
be settled for year at least. The
committee and board met last even
ing and took up the report Of the
board Of control showing the cost
of maintenance. the amount OF gas
manufactured and sold, the amount
lost by leakage and the profit on the
gas consumed and after IL had all
been threshed out Mr.. Sands offer.
ed motion TO the effect that the
committee recommend to council
that the gas matter be dropped for
year and be allowed 10 work itself
out.
In Offering his motion Mr.. Sands
stated that he believed from the re-
port made on the operation OF the
city plant and the explanation Of
superintendent Miller that the plant
could be made a paying proposition
Inside OF year and the price OF gas
materially reduced.
There was some objection TO the
motion by Mr.. Petticord. who said he
would vote for it II the price OF gas
was reduced. but as the committee
had not the power to recommend any
such reduction. the suggestion did
not carry. and finally the matter was
put to a vote on the original Sands
motion. and was carried by a vote of
to ,. the vote being Sands. Vaas.
Noellinger. GrOgan, Bruce and
Schmidt. in favor OF the motion. and
Petticord and Seabright against it.
Sands Comes over.
A splendid argument in favor Of
the retention and operation OF the city
plant was the action OF Mr.. Sands.
Originally he was in favor Of natural
gas for an illuminant. and was. with
n. l.. Kirk. the father of the resolu-
ton that resulted in an ordinance be-
ing prepared giving the right TO the
Natural Gas Company OF West Vlr-
Einia to sell gas as an illuminant. and
this ordinance passed by an over
whelming majority in the Second
branch, but lost out in the First on
tie vote.
When the meeting opened typewrit-
ten statements OF the condition OF the
gas plant were passed among the
members of the committee. and after
IL had been explained, the present con-
dition OF the plant was given by SUI
perintendenb Miller The loss or
waste. IL was shown. was not in the
mains, but in the service pipes and
meters, and the only place where the
mains were in any way affected was
on the South Side where they we're
somewhat corroded by electricity from
the power plant OF the Wheeling
Traction Company. He also showed
that the plant could manufacture
three times as much gas as at present
with the addition OF but three more
men and the additional amount OF oil
and coke necessary 20 make IL. and
thus II the demand was greater. much
more gas could be made at a slight
increase over the present cost. and

who thinks some impartial way must
be found to decide about the tainted

Those who advocate such plan say
that the outcome Of II might be the
nomination OF Taft, Roosevelt or a
third man. But. In any event. they hold,
It would restore better feeling among
the republicans.
The difficulty with the plan IL. In the
opinion OF most OF those who have

probably not listen to 1t. but Will pro-
coed on the theory he has the nomina :
ton in his hands now and II he gave IT

PRISON BILLS INCREASE.
High Cost Of Living Apparent Even
Behind the Bars.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July s--The high cost
OF living is felt even behind prison
bars. A computation was recently
made at the state reformatory at
| Anamosa, of the cost OF various ar
ticles of necessity. food and clothing
as shown by bills actually paid at
that institution, the comparison being
between the bills OF the last quarter
OF 1898. and the first quarter Of 1912.
The comparison shows that the aver
age increase in cost Of these articles
was Sis per cent.
The first date was when the state
first fixed the per capita support al
lowance at Anamosa at $3.50 a month.
If that was just sufficient fourteen
year ago it should be Sits month
now, but in fact the monthly allow
ance for each person is just the same
now as when the cost OF things was
about half that at present. For many
years the per capita allowance at Fort
Madison has been 50 a month for each
man. This covers cost OF all food and
clothing and all cost OF administra
ton except salaries. The only onset
is what can be secured from meager
farm operations.

NEW COURSE AT VARSITY.
Library Training School to Be Regular
School Year Feature.

Iowa City, July S.-A library training
school will be established next fall IN
the State University Of Iowa, with
courses throughout the regular school
year, and the library training school In
the summer session will be e-estab-
iished next summer.
With its immense general and ref-
erence library. requiring corps OF
highly trained librarians. the univer-
sity has a peculiar advantage In Ii
brary training. The course can be
combined with regular liberal arts
work, thus creating a higher state Of
efficiency than can be obtained by any
other means, for general education Is
found to be one of the great needs OF
library workers in this state.
The library course in summer school
was established several years ago I'M
der the direction Of Miss Alice Tyler
of Des Moines and has been so popular
that it was necessary to limit regis
tration. The course was given up this
summer and rs absence has demon
strated the demand for It and the prac-
ticability of much more extensive
courses than those offered heretofore.
Consequently, the decision to create a
year course. This training school Is
expected to draw students from all
over the west Students will have
available for their use the general uni
versity library, the law library, dozen
departmental libraries and the State
Historical library besides the POSSIBLE
ity Of extension work in the public IL
brary in Iowa City.

favorable to Third Party-Plan to

Washington. July S.-That President
Taft has great opportunity, If he will
use it, to clarity the present mixed
political situation and save the repub-
lican party, is the belief of Senator
Kenyon.
Senator Kenyon takes the position
that neither President Taft nor anyone
else wants nomination that is fraudu-
lently obtained, that the country is
vastly stirred up over the belief fraud
was committed In the seating Of the
seventy eight delegates in Chicago.
over whom there has been so much
discussion. and that the thing to be
done is to allay the feeling arising from
this belief.
The plan Senator Kenyon advocates,
therefore, is for the president to de-
cline to accept the nomination unless
the title thereto Is cleared up and
Quoted.
Would Clear Up Title.
When the committee waits on Presi-
dent Taft to offer him the nomination.
as, Senator Kenyon views it. the presi-
dent should decline it except on the
condition that the national committee.
as newly organized. pass on the titles
of the alleged tainted" delegates, or
order new delegates elected in the dis
tricts and states concerned In these
contests. Then Senator Kenyon would
have the convention reassembled and
the process of nominating a president
gone thru once more, providing, OF
course. there was unseating of enough
Ct the Taft delegates to affect the re-
suit.
Senator Kenyon does not believe In
the third party movement. He fatty
says So But he Is saying little about
whether he Is going to support Presi-
dent Taft. He does believe the repub-
lican party should be saved. And he
believes that the prerequisite to putting
the party on its feet is to clear up the
question of title to the presidential
nomination and end the dispute about
the faint" of certain delegates.
Plan Moets Favor.
This plan meets with favor among
many Of the hprogressives. Senator
Kenyon talked 1T over with Governor
Hadley. Of Missouri. Governor Hadley.
