pleasure that the appropriation by the government Tor
the road trail fund of Alaska for the ensuing will be
increase from $125000 of the past year to 100000 That

company. He said that his company
considered itself bound to sell to the
city and that the city must consider
itself bound to buy.
The question was then asked Mr..
Jessup what would happen if the city
refused to issue bonds for the pur
chase of the plant He said the city
would be inundated in court
John l.. Rupe, who is a member of
the board of directors Of the CONNER
cial club, was called on for his opinion
on the question. He gave it as his
off-hand opinion that the facts as pre-
scented appeared to bind the city to
exercise it's option.
One Way Out.
If the Light, Heat & Power company
is correct in the position it has taken
regarding the city's action in filing
condemnation proceedings there ap
parently is only one way the city can
avoid exercising its option on the pri
vately owned electric plant. That is to
convince the committee that to con-
summate the purchase the city would
have to issue bonds in excess of the
city's legal bond Indebtedness limit
which is now $4,000.
The city officials realized that if the
electric plant of the Light, Heat and
Power company was purchased as it
now stands a bond issue which would
bring the city dangerously close to it's
bond Indebtedness limit would be re
Ouired. 1t was because Of this that the
city fastened to file petition in circuit
court to permanently restrain the
Light. Heat & Power company from
providing additional improvements at
its plant, which the company had an
nounced it's intention of doing. Such
mprovements, the city officials believe
would increase the value of the plant
to figure prohibitory to the city.
Works on Sunday.
No decision in this case has vet been
rendered by Special Judge Comst ock
In the event the injunction is denied
the company may sue the city on the
ground that it has been damaged by
loss Of business during the period of
operation Of the temporary restraining
order the city obtained against the
company. Robert Ashe, one of the
largest patrons of the Light. Heat and
Power company. is now constructing a
line to Brookville and in his haste to
have it completed worked a force of

OF the mayors special committee, gave

plant it was SO manifestly unfair to
the city that the Commercial club
members for a time, it is said, thought
he was Joking.
Very suavely Mr.. Trip remarked
that the city might not desire to carry
out the contract it had entered into
for the purchase of the company
electric plant, so, he said, the Offic-
ials of his company had hastily out
lined the following proposals.
That the Light. Heat & Power COM
pany lease the municipal plant for
a period of fifty years at an annual
rental of per cent on 100000 set
ting aside $4,000 annually for re-
neWals and requirements; the COM
pany to make all extensions and adj
ditions and charge the same to the
city; the company to enter into a
street lighting contract for ten years.

commission; the company to have the
privilege of extending its lease, at eX-
piration, twenty-five year, II 1t so de-
sired, on the same terms.
1t was pointed out by members OF
the committee that the proposition as
presented was wholly without merit
and that the committee would not care
to entertain any kind of a proposal for
leasing the municipal plant.
Declines to Answer.
Mr.. Trip was asked whether in the
event the city council acted without
being correctly informed the Light,
Heat & Power company would be will
ing to join with the city in dismissing
the application for the purchase OF
the plant.
Mr.. Trip replied that the question
could not be answered without consul
tation with the other officers OF the

part of the company" Mr. Bavis said.
IF the plant costs more than our bond
limit permits then the deal is off. If
we can purchase the plant at fair
price and within the bonded indebVed-
ness limit then it is sound business
for the city to do So

Secretary Haas explained that the
clubs committee had as vet made no
report as to whether it did or did not
favor the plan for purchasing the cleo
trio plant of the Light. Heat and Pow
er company. and that his mission in
behalf of this committee was merely
to find out whether the city did or did
not have the authority to withdraw its

LABOR A CENTURY AGO

Education, says the London Chron,
icle, was considered a disqualification
in a servant a century ago. Even Han
nah More, who did much to promote
the Sunday school movement confined
her curriculum to teaching the chill
dren to read the Bible, the catechism
and "such coarse works as may fit
them for servants" 81 allow of no
writing for the poor" she stated en-
phatically.
