All there is to the Paris police that
amounts to anything has been in

succeeded under M. Lepine. He
hasn't been chief of police all the
years his record would show, as he
spent aNbit of his time governing
Tangiers 4 job that was almost as
thankless as the projects desk in
Paris. Lepine started in business as
policeman with the idea that it was
policeman's duty to really police.
He didn't have much sympathy with
the story book kind of detective or
the copper who Noodles" on duty.
He was sub-prefect as a starter,
after having served while in the
army. Then he became project of
the Seine, after little while he was
made project of police of Paris. A
project is a governor, and as Paris
hasn't any mayor the business of
governing the city falls on munich

fair, the real heads of the city adj
ministration being the projects of the
Seine and of Paris. But the actual,
bona fide boss is the project of police
of Paris. This latter individual is ap-
pointed by the president of the re-
public and whatever power there is
lying loose in Paris has escaped from
his private safe and that isn't much.
M. Lepine was rated as the greatest
chief of police in the world and most
of the modern methods of policing
originated with him. He scorned car
rying weapons or wearing uniforms
himself. The only weapon of offense
or defense he possessed was an UNI

County Commissioners Give
Puget Sound Co. Years
Lighting Contract.
WON'T RECONSIDER
Mckenzie Turned Down ON
Motion to Award Job to
Municipal Company.

No. the city did not oct the
courthouse lighting contract.
The city's bid, the lowest in the
history Of the county. was rejected
two weeks ago by Commissioners
knudsen and Hamilton.
Both the city and the Puget
Sound eompany's bids were thrown
out then on the alleged ground that
they were too high"
II looked rotten. When the COM
n,issioners asked for new bids, Il
was apparent that some new piece
Of skuIduggery was on foot.
And IL manifested Itself today
when the private company submit

its attorney. admitted was a los

are willing to lose money on II to

putting something over and this ID
our answer. This bid is not based
on any fair rate-making basis. Bus
mess does not Justify this rate. But
we have made up our mind to oct
this contract"
The compsny's bid was cents
per killo~att hour and 500 month
ly minimum. The city bid was
Si73.5o minimum per month, ana
2Is cents per kilowatt.
Before the opening of bids. Chair.
man Mckenzie introduced a reso-
luton to reconsider the action Of
two weeks ago. when the city con-
tract was rejected.
Neither Hamilton nor knudsen
seconded the motion.
Hamilton discovered a new rea-
son for having previously rejected
the city bid. II was that the bid
was for five-yesr contract in
stead Of one year.
Norman War6ail, clerk Of the
board, also offered an additional
reason by claiming that while the
company's bid did not state SO, a
discount Of five per cent had been
intended. and for that reason the
county would have had to accept
the company bid instead Of thu
city bid.
He wrote this explanation TO n.
L. o'Neill, secretary Of the Elec-
trIoal Union, who was present this
morning to protest against giving
the company the contract.
He denounced the lower bid OF
the company as "cut-throat
scheme" to ruin the city plant.
He pointed cut, as Chairman Nc
kenzie did, that the people. who
owned a plant themselves, were be-
ing compelled to pay out money to
a rival.
