Mr.. Murray M. Mcclure:

Il have not examined carefully the propo-
sition made by the Southern Gas and Electric
Corporation for lease of the city's gas plant,
but | am satisfied that lease of this plant to
reliable private parties on reasonable terms
would be an excellent thing for the city. [
know Mr. Alex. r. Sands, counsel for this cor
poration, WELL and | feel sure that he would
not submit proposition which he was not sat-
isfed was clean and above board. 1oas,'
~ think that it is advisable to submit to
the voters the general proposition of whether
or not there should be a lease, but / think
the details of the lease should be left to
small committee of competent representatives
of the city which would examine the details
with care. I do not believe the general pub
lie will vote inteligently on a complicated
agreement, as the average voter will not read
all the terms of lengthy contract 20

CHIEF TOPIC ON
LOCAL EXCHANGE
Big Rail Order Failed to
Stimulate Steel Shares.
Philadelphia c mp any
Again Pays in Scrip.

Rejecting the reaotionary tendency Of
the New York market. Philadelphia prices
were trine depressed this morning, but
the tone became steadler In the afternoon
Even the announcement OF tho Pennsyl-
vania Railroads big rail order which VIII
probably be divided between the Cambria
Steel Company. the Pennsylvania Steel
Company and the United states steel
Corporation, failed to stimulate any of
these stocks. United states steel, after de-
clinlng moderate recovered to approNi-
mately Mondays final figures. II must
be born In mind that despite big increases
In orders the steel mills are still only OPP
Grating at about 40 per cent capacity. In
November operations were down around
50 per cent, and steel producers do not
predict more than All Increase to about 30
per cent. this month.
The premature publication this morn
ing of the contents OF the advertisement
for the Pennsylvania Railroads annual
meeting, giving the information that the
company proposed to issue some of tho
bonds presumably of the big blanket
mortgage created no great surprise, in
view of the fact that the company has
n large amount of maturing obligations
falling due this year. 1t was announced
would be the amount for which authori-
zatlon would be asked of the stockhold-
ers in March in addition to the S2O00OO 900
alread authorized. This will retire the
SsL000,0O0 convertibles OF 1905, maturing
october next, and other obligations
amounting to about $1,000, 900 and also pro-
vide for improvements, The acquisition
of three small roads is also asked to be
sanctioned.
Another scrip quarterly dividend was
declared by the Philadelphia Company to-
day at the rate of ia per cent. on the
common stock. This is tine second pay
ment made in scrip by that company, II
is redeemable on or before February 1,
1918. bearing interest until redemption at
per cent, payable In seml-annual in
stalments. In regard to the attempt on
the part of the Philadelphia committee
representing holders of United Traction
OF Pittsburgh preferred stock to have the
dividend paid II was pointed out today
that even If the committee accomplished
Its purpose the lease could then be cam
celed within three months and the prop
erty would then revert to the holders of
the common stock, which Is the Pitts
burgh Railways Company. the result be-
ing that the whole operation would effect
no material change In the situation.
The local traction group of securities
turned heavy today, for no apparent rea-
son except sympathy with the weakness
of the New York traction stocks. Rapid
Transit declined in the afternoon to IL,
q loss of nearly a point, while Union
Traction went below 30. Philadelphia
Traction held steady.

on grain and grain products from points
In Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota TO
points west of the Missouri River on the

not exceed So per cent. OF the rates on fat
cattle and fat sheep, Additional charges

the through routes and Joint rates which
we're established by the commission on
this sale of freight.
The present any quantity rates on cot
ton shipped from gin points in Arkansas
Oklahoma, Texas City and Galveston,
Tex, and New Orleans to various COM
press and export points over the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe and six other rail-

wthstanding the high density of the
bales of cotton shipped The commission
held that the any quantity rates were
best suited TO the cotton industry.
