AMERICAN EXTRAVAGANCE

Americans are counted an extraya-
CANT people, reckless in the matter
OF expenditure and entirely unmind-
full of the wise old maxim, "a penny
saved a penny gained Yet many
families of small means have been
able to live in comparative comfort
by judicious management and the
careful supervision of their house
hold; many well dressed woman
has achieved that end by strict
watch over trihing expenses; the
foundation of many a fortune has
been laid by the saving of small
amounts.
But in saving the pennies we are
apt to overlook the equally wise old
maxim, penny wise and pound fool
ish,' for it is as important to learn
when to save as how to save.
The toiler who works to the ex-
haustive point, the girl who plants
the seed Of tuberculosis to avoid the
expense of faunels in winter. the
mother who shuts out health giving
sunlight to keep the furnishings
from fading, the needlewom&n who
spends valuable time-time which
she takes from much needed rest-in
mending a garment that is not worth
it, may have added to their penny
savings, but they have squandered
dollars in doing so. Live up to both
old maxims, but remember there Is
always a happy medium .-Ex.

LIGHT AND WATER PLANT
A VALUABLE ASSET
Lakeland, Fla, May 81, 1914.

Lakeland Evening Telegram.
The agitation of the coming clcc-
tion for an additional bond issue for
light and water improvements for
the city municipal plant has brought
about considerable discussion and
while we all realize that an i'm
provement to the present plant is IA
necessity, the amount the city is
asking bonds for is excessive and
uncalled for.
served as member of the City
Council during the year 1918, was
also a member of the light and wa
ter committee for about three months
the latter part of this time, and,
while my business did not permit me
to thoroughly familiarize myself
with conditions at the plant, ! am
somewhat familiar with the general
conditions existing.
consider the plant one of the
city's most important and valuable
assets, in fact, it Is about the only
source of revenue except from direct
taxation Last year the plant earned
approximately $33 900 gross and in
1914 should show at least an in
crease Of % per cent which would
make the gross earnings about $40,-
000. With proper management the
operating cost should not exceed 40
per cent of the gross earnings.
THIS is NO SMALL ASSET
am in favor of divorcing the
plant from politics and the estab-
fishing of board of public works,
elected for a period of six years,
composed of three of our good busi-
ness men who would no doubt serve
without compensation and who
should take pride in rendering the
public the best service and manage
ment.
do not think the city should con-
slider selling the plant and certain
ly corporation could not pay $780,
900 for property estimated to be
worth about 100000, unless there
is something behind the proposition
that would yield large profits to
them.
1t is true that the city has not
made any real money from revenues
cleared from the sale of
light and water, and. while the pres
ant cost of light and water is con-
5idered reasonable, with improve
ments to the plant and good man
agement, there is no reason why the
cost Of production of both light and
water could not be reduced and the
of Lakeland should enjoy
the benefit of reduced rate when
the improvement of the plant justi-
fes it.
am satisfied with a $50 900 bond
issue for improvement to the light
and water plant and the plant
turned over to a board of public
works that it would not only take
care of itself in the way of making
extension and improvements to meet
the growth of the town, but it
should earn enough at the present
rates to take care of all its indebt-
edness.
Yours very truly,
J. F. COUNCIL.
