MOTT.SMITH Was
PREMATURE, SAYS
I.N.s, WILLIAMS
Contends Chairman of Public
Utilities Commission Should
Complete the Ill. Probe

That e. A. Mott-Smith, who ten
dered to the governor Thursday his
resignation as chairman of the Public
Utilities Commission. should. in fair
ness TO both government and public.
remain in the position until the COM
pleticn of the investigation of the In
ter-Island Steam Navigation Company
recently begun by the commission, is
the opinion of j. N. s. Williams, one
of the commissioners, offered this
morning during an interview regard
ing the probability CT his becoming a
candidate for the chairmanship.
II believe that when person un-
dertakes a proposition he should carry
it out" said Mr.. Williams "In my
opinion, Mr.. Mott-Smith should make
his resignation read to take effect
upon the completion of the Inter-
Island investigation He has seen
the investigation started and in fair
ness to the public he should remain to
see the conclusion. After the compile
ton of the investigation he would be
in much better position to resign.
There is little doubt in my mind but
that Mr. Mott-Smith is fully equipped
to handle the TECHNICAL part of the
probe. He personally recommends me
as being technically equipped to take
the craftsmanship. Therefore, If he
does not feel that he is able to under
take the technical part Of the inEesti-
cation, he could continue until its
completion with the assistance Of a
technical man."
Mr.. Williams said that, during a re-
cent interview with Mr. Mott-Smith,
he explained to the latter his opinion
in the matter. Asked as to the proba-
bility of his becoming candidate for
the Craftsmanship, he replied:
Mr.. Mott-sSmith's resignation has
come as such a surprise to me that /
really have given little thought as to
who will take the chair. However,
the governor has not as yet accepted
the resignation, and the point / am
trying to make clear is that Mr.. Mott
+, Smith should not resign at this time. "
When seen this morning, Mr.. Mott
Smith hau little to say regarding his
resignation.

effect to March q instead of March

This morning he received the fol-
lowing letter from the acting secretary

Commerce Wednesday afternoon, OF

Mr.. Mott-Smith said that he has ac

MAYORALTY BUDS
peep UP OUT OF
POLITICAL SOIL
Sen. ChiliingWorth and Former
Supervisor Murray Said to
Cherish Hopes

Advancing spring is bringing to the
surface several mayoralty buds, and
during the past week at least two have
begun attracting attention.
Senator Charles F. Chillingworth
and former Supervisor Harry E. MUIR
ray are PECULIARLY believed to be cher
ishing aspirations to succeed Joe Fern
in his seat of power at the. city hail.
Both are Republicans and both will
likely file for the primary as Republi
cans in case their Intentions material
ize into action.
Senator Chillingworth was asked
this morning about his reported plans
but declined to commit himself further
than to say that he is considering the
matter He has many friends who
believe that he can defeat Fern in a
clean-cut contest Chillingworth led
the Republican ticket four years ago
when he was named to the upper
house Of the legislature.
Harry Murray has been out Of poll
tics since he retired from the board
of supervisors fifteen months ago.
Since then he has been devoting him
self strictly to business. having been

fault The present metered rate
would more than pay for all the run
ming expenses. including money which
should be set aside for sinking
fund under these assumptions.
There are at present about $500
flat rates. These rates should be re-
computed and new rates assigned to
81 water users. Rates should be com:
puted from estimates and from meter
readings and similar locations and
kinds OF business Empirical Formulate
should be devised and special and
general rates computed as was done
in 1901.
The financial statement shows that
q raise of 90 per cent in flat rates
would furnish the department with
sufficient funds for the entire opera
ton of the plant. It is believed that
the simplest, easiest method to pro-
duce this income would be to arbitrar-
ily raise all flat rates 80 per cent, so
advertise and collect AS time and
funds allow the flat rates can be re-
computed and placed on more equit.
able basis, or the entire city can be
metered and thus place everybody on
the same rate.
! sThere is also an income of about
$4,000 derived from the harbor. At
the present. this rate Is $500 per
1000 gallons. It is proposed to re-.
duce this rate to so cents per 1000
gallons, and In this case the additional
income required will be three-fourths
OF the present amound, or about $25.-
600. The total amount required,
therefore, to place the meter system
on paying basis is about $4,000
npre than at the present time"

Rev Paul Dwight Moody was the
speaker at the annual Bible study
rally of the young mems class at the
Burlington Y. M. G. A., on Wednes-
day. Among other things, Mr..
Moody emphasized the value of the
study of the Bible for the sake of
obeying it's teachings, and not simply
because it was attractive as literature.
He warned against making too great
claims for the Bible, and reminded
his hearers that God still has his mes
sages to his people. The study of the
Bible reveals man to himself, thus
fulfilling the ancient Greek adage,
Know myself" The soul has its
needs and a man gains spiritual
strength by renewing his spirit. 1t
gives a man an enlarged vision. Con-
tact with God is necessary for broad
vision.
