comes into possession of the electric
plant there should seem any disposi-
tion whatever on the part of the Trac-
tion Company to take advantage and
put on excessive charges for current,
the city could easily install a genera
tor to produce their own current with
as small expense as. to at any time
rebuild their steam plant, and be alb
solutely independent of the Traction
Company.
If the City of Hattiesburg faces any
obstacle to its progress at this time
that obstacle is the burden of taxa
ton. Any solution of that problem
which tends to tighten the burden is
beneficial to every citizen. The Com
mission Form of Government had it's
inception in the idea of employing
business methods in municipal govern
ment instead of political methods. No
corporation, however large, would hes
itate a moment to reduce its expenses
100000 per year, provided its eff
ficiency would not be impaired. Why
should not municipal government
running on business principles be rs
ready to conserve expenses as any
corporation or private business enter
prise.
AS a tax payer offer this as an
expression of my sentiment and my
approval of the Commissioners tc
adopt the electric power, which is the
cheapest power known, for our water
works. Very respectfully yours,
j. D. Donald.

HATTlESBURG TRACTION COM
PANY's PROPOSITION.

Editor The News:
The proposition recently submitted
by the Hattiesburg Traction Company
to the City of Hattiesburg is, in my
opinion, one of as great Importance
as has been submitted to the tax-pay-
ers of this city within recent times.
The question of changing from
steam to electric power with our wa
ter plant was considered at consider
able length in former administration,
but, owing to the fact that the city
would have been required to have
stood Immediately for the, cost of in
stallation, which would have approx
imated 100000, and not having the
money to defray that expense, the
subject was dropped entirely, not.
withstanding that at that time it could
be foreseen that In the near future
the steam plant would have to be
practically replaced Now that the
proposition has assumed its present
form, and the city will not be out a
single dollar for installation so far as
the tax payers are concerned, and
will own the plant at the end of two
years, after which time they will have
an annual saving of at least 100000
there would seem to be no reason
whatever why the City Commissioner
should not accept this proposition
without delay. If after the expiration
of the two year period when the cit!
