DR.. Sears expressed the opinion
that this old world is getting better
all the time morally. socially and
syen politically. His subject was
more Taffy and Less Epitaphy."
His avice is to have good word
and a pleasant smile for all whom
you meet. 1t is better to encourage
the man who is living rather than
strew flowers on his grave and eu-
logic him after death.
He stated that had he been at his
home in Illinois during the last elec.

more vote for Teddy But he
stated that on the fourth Of next
month the United States would
have a second Abraham Lincoln in
the presidential chair.
Every one of the doctors audi
tors are certainly better off for
having heard him.

COMES TOO HIGH, SAY THE
PROMOTERS
Great Inducement for capital to Install
an Electric Light and Power Plant in
Alamogordo.

Great Inducement for capital to Install
an Electric Light and Power Plant in
Alamogordo.
AlamCgordo is beautiful town of
about 1900 inhabitants, fine schools,
county seat OF OterO county, good
railroad facilities, with surround
ing country with fine soil and shall
low water for pumping purposes and
irrigation. The town is inoOrporaJ-
ed ald the board OF trustees makes
the following proposition and induce
mant for capital to invest money in
a much-needed power plant in the
town: towit: The board will grant
q franchise on the following condi-
tions which they consider a fair
proposition:
The power plant owners TO fur
nish the town with 2 lights OF not
less than ESQ candlepOwer for street
lighting purpose gratis and to sell
she town up 20 as many as 25 more
lights of the same size at not to
exceed $1.00 a month per light.
Town to have the right to pur-
chase the power plant and equip
ment at the end of five years at ac-
tual value less depreciation and the
price to be determined by arbitra-
zion board If necessary.
Work to start not later thal
three months from date OF franchise
and to be completed in twelve
months. Electric power to be fur
nished for pumping purposes for not
TO exceed three cents per kilowatt.
The cost of the plant complete
with wiring, poles, etc, 100 horse
power fuel oil engine, would be
$50. 900. Interest on investment
$4,000; salary for employees $4,000;
taxes $3.50; fuel to run the plant
day and night up to It's fun capaci-
ty $500 at the rate of six cents a
gallon for fuel oil or So cents per
hour for plant; depreciation, main
tenance and repairs $4,000. Total
for expenses, interest SIS, 5,250.00.
Approximate cost of maintenance of
so lights of $50 candle power each.
allowing 81 per month for % would
amount to $500 per month, or S3,-
500 for one year.
At the present time the earnings
of power plant for furnishing elec-
trio lights in the town are approx
mately 500 per month, or $500
per year.
Adding the $4,000 demanded by
the board of trustees for the fran
chise to the s15,250.00, expenses OF
operating the plant; then con-
sidering the gross income of sS,400,
the reader will readily see what a
splendid inducement is held out 10
capital to invest in an electric
light and power plant in Alamogor-
do.
Running the plant in daytime to
its capacity and selling the power
at cents per kilowatt would barely
pay the expense of operation.
Except with an extraordinary in
crease in business it would be much
more than five years before the
plant would even pay expenses.
