Earnings of light and water plant
for six year period, each fiscal year
ending Feb. %:
$48,495.35

At the present time there are
$4,000 waterworks and electric light
bonds outstanding, besides $4,000 in
city orders. Five per cent is Set aside
each year for depreciation.
Mr.. Wright stated that if the same
plant was operated by private con-
Germ, reducing the overhead, that the
owner could sell his product for &c per
XIV and make very satisfactory re
turn on his investment. All of the
gentlemen present at the meeting
stated that it would be very doubtful
if the people of Alexandria would be
willing to entertain a proposition to
turn the plant over to a private in
dividual or company unless they could
be assured of a very long time con-
tract, and to have the juice delivered
to the city at switch board at not
more than &c per XIV.
The officers mentioned gave the
Sank Centre delegation every oppor-
tunity to CLEAN information, besides
donating several hours of their val
liable time assisting their neighbors.
The Herald editor has not intend
ed by the above article to express any
opinion as to what the people of Sank
Centre should do in this important
matter, but we have endeavored to
correctly report the information re-
received relative to the Alexandria
light and water plant.

ION WITH THE DANCE"

Every indication points to the 31st
annual firemen's ball to be given at
the City Hall tonight as the biggest
and most successful entertainment
from both social and financial view
points ever given by the department.
The general committee: Frank Mel
son, Everett Jameson, Joe w. Kusba,
A. Markson and Frank Schwartz,
have looked after every detail. Yes
terday morning the sale of tickets
had reached 275, which sets a new
advance sale record. To accommodate
the large crowd of spectators expect
ed, seats are being arranged in the
balcony at the north side of the hall
and the orchestra will be stationed on
the south side. Mayor McGibbon will
lead the grand march, which is sched-
uled to start at o'clock. At mid
night the boys will spring a surprise
in the awarding of handsome prize.
However, though the sale of tickets
has been unusual the boys still have
plenty more and every citizen and
property owner should purchase one
and encourage the boys in their work
and organization.

ALLEGED JOKER
in PRIMARY law
Continued from first page)

over the do nothing policy of the pres
ent incumbent, Charles A. Lindbergh,
who recently. announced his intention
of going after the governorship. That
is all he did, announce his intention,
and to those who figure on parting
with $50 for the privilege of getting
on the congressional ballot this action
is not sufficient. He did the announce
ment trick once before, they say, and
then tackled his old job. One pros
pective congressional candidate while
at the state capitol the other day said
that he had no intention of fi1fffg FOR
congress until Lindbergh had actually
filed for governor. He said he wanted
to-make the race, but he did not in
tend to take any chances.

=. Because of the four-year-term law
county contests next year will be CON
fined to several county Commissioners
ships and the judge Of probate. This
in the minds of some will minimize
interest in the state game, but such is
hardly likely. Hennepin county will
nominate and elect county officers
and Minneapolis will have city cleo
ton. A vigorous scrap also is prom
ised in Ramsey county. Congressional
fights will figure in the other sections
of the state.
A political controversy of over two
months standing was brought to an
end W hen the state board of immigra-
ton Succeeded in remaining Fred D.

Hammond. Secretary of State
Schmahl and one other member back
ed Sherman to the limit and finally
won out through flood Of candi-
dates.
Governor Hammond has been elect
ed member of the board of govern
ors of the World Court league at a
meeting held in New York the other
day. The governor says he fayors
plans for creation Of a worlds SUI
preme court for the judicial settle
ment of all International disputes and
while he has little time to devote to
matters outside of the state, he will
DO what he can to further the plane
of the organization. 1923 ~

as to the senatorial candidacy.

Congress from my district and that where stand de-

dent Of the United States that we
would be made Secretary of State,
this is written to correct such a
false report They have never men
toned the matter to US, and if they
were to do so we would be forced
to refuse their request, since we
couldn't possibly leave our crop
long enough TO attend to it; in fact
if we we're to leave it Col. Lindsey

WILL WARD REPLIES TO CON. SISSON.

Appeal for him. Fortunately for
me. since Mr.. Sisson has gone into
the denying business, | have wit
nesses to this transaction. when
/ told the correspondent for The
Commercial Appeal that Mr.. Sisson
wanted to have himself interviewed
but that | would not take the re-
sponsibility of giving out the inter-
view for him Mr.. Walthal then,
in the presence of Gov. BilbO, my
nephew, Robert Hart, and think
some other gentleman called Mr..
Sisson over the phone and Mr.. Sis
son gave him this interview direct.
l never heard anything about Mr.
Sisson running for Congress until
the past week, He came back from
Washington last week and without
doing me the courtesy of telling
me of the change in his plans, he
announced himself for Congress. /
presume that Mr.. SisSon assumed
that | would be terror stricken at
this announcement and in view Of
our relationship that | would
withdraw from the race. These
are the exact facts in the case
and | take this opportunity
of announcing to the people
of the Fourth Congressional District
that | will be a candidate for Con-
gress for the term beginning March
4, 1917 Beginning next spring
will make an active and aggressive
campaign of the district. | think
it TO early yet to open up the cam
paign and | will be busy with my
crop all the fall. | am running for
this Office because | believe I am in
touch with the needs Of the people
and that l possess the necessary
equipment to fill the position.
will appreciate the cooperation and
a personal letter from those friends
of mine who are interested in my
election,
