IN CELEBRATION
Their Participation in Newark's
Anniversary Observance Is
Planned by Committee.

The committee of schools and
philanthropy on the committee of
100 In charge of the 250th anniversary
celebration met for the first time
yesterday In the Kinney building.
General plans for having the school
children participate in the celebra-
ton, and the advisability OF pre-
pairing charts showing the develop
ment OF the educational system, were
discussed.
1t was the opinion of the commit
tee that any display Of a spectacu-
lar nature, such as folk dancing,
drills and the like, should be placed
in the hands of the committees on
pageantry and parade. This will
be recommended to the general COM
mittee at it's next meeting.
A report prepared by ]. Wilmer
Kennedy, assistant city superintend-
ent of public schools, was read in part
by Wallace NJ. Scudder, chairman of
the committee. 1t was decided to ask
MIR. Kennedy for additional copies,
so that every member of the COM
mittee could have one TO peruse be-
fore the next meeting.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Scudder
the committee was subdivided into
two divisions, the one branch to act
as a school committee and the other
to look after the philanthropic scope
of the committee. Charles p. Tay-
lor, president of the Board of Edu-
cation School Commissioner Ma
thaniel King and Addison B. Poland,
city superintendent of public schools,
were appointed on the school COM
mittee. Rabbi Solomon Foster, Rev.
T. Aird Moffat, pastor of the First
Congregational Church, and Albert
G. Fletcher were placed on the
committee of philanthropy.
Upon the suggestion of Rabbi Fos-
ter the scope Of the philanthropic
committee is to be widened to in
clude the awakening of interest in
the celebration in all frsternal,
church, social and labor organiza-
tiOnS.

After the Public Service Commission was
established in West Virginia by act of the
last legislature, and the members had been
appointed, the Manufacturers Light & Heat
Company fled with the said Commission its
schedule of rates, as required by law. The
Public Service Commission, on its own motion,
has called upon this company to show not
only that the proposed rates, but also that
those heretofore charged, are reasonable
There have been number of hearings before
the Commission, the proceedings have been
published, discussion by the public is now
going on as to what is a reasonable rate for
domestic consumption and what for indus
trial consumption.
1t is more important to the people Of this
State, than to the gas companies, for reasons
which will presently be apparent, that there
should be intelligent, well-informed consider
alton of this question, and it is also SO impor-

HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS

You know that the gas and oil people have
made some money in the business. We
know that your share in the profits has
been greater than ours, as the best data we
can get shows. Did YOU know that since
1890 about $4,000 oil and gas wells have
been completed In West Virginia, for which lei
there were paid out by the investors to you
as landowners. supplymen, teamsters, work
men, and so on, the enormous sum OF about

the taxes paid by all of the Public Utilities
and over one-sixth of the taxes paid on all
the real and personal property OF all the
corporations and Of all the people IN the State
of West Virginia.
To give.you an idea of what the oil and gas
business means to you as tax payers, we
give here some interesting data:
During the "a years 1880 to 19fe, inclusive, there
were SIS, 1913 wells completed
For each of these there were paid to West Virgnians
for labor, teaming, material, drillers board Fg
timbers etc, not less than $1,3SS.
or a total Of s47,a74,179.
including s1l,595,787 for the 5000 dry holes
Fer the operation of the eG,764 productive oil and
gas wells and the caring for the prodnct there has
been Maid in West Virginia for Labor material team
inc, etc, not less than $9s. 100000.
In oil royalties West Virginia land owners have
received $4,000 796.
In rentals on lands held for oil purposes before
drilling the land owners have received not less tnan
$4,000. 600.
In rentals o., lands held for gas they have been
paid IS O4s,918-
And in royalties on gas from gas wells they have
received more than se,4s6.416
This makes a grand total Of sos, 750,3O9 the
