"Templarism teaches and requires
Of its members a belief in the Found

they seek to inculcate are as we'll

whether we are practicing what we
preach and profess.
Men Need Ideals.
without ideals, men become lost
in sensuality, ignorance and degreda-

idealism in a rude and barbarous age,

Plant valuation is one of the most
important items entering into rate
making. being given almost as much
consideration as the efficiency in
manufacturing product
About a month ago when Chairman
Duncan of the state commission an
nounced that the physical valuations
Of the two Richmond electrical plants
would be determined as the prelimi.
nary action in establishing an accu-
rate schedule of lighting and power
rates for this city. he declared that
the most efficient and most valuable
plant would be the basis the commits
sion would use in figuring out the
rate schedule.
Believe Estimate Too High.
At that time this announcement
was hailed with glee by city officials
who were satisfied that the municipal
plant was the most efficient and best
equipped. They never once. however,
anticipated that what they believe to
be an excessive valuation would bs
placed on the municipal plant.
The city has gone to considerable
pdluS III IdAluS du ACCURATE inventory
of its plant, employing an engineer
at a cost of $500 to do most of this
work. When this inventory was COM
pleted a few days ago it showed
plant value of 100000 without figur-
ing in any depreciation on equipment
In round numbers this depreciation
item was figured at about $50, 900, 1t
is understood, making the actual valu.
alton. as figured by the city's special
engineer. about $250,O0O ...
This estimated valuation Of $3.50. 900
together with the city plants recog-
nized higher standard of efficiency In
manufacturing current, was believed
low enough to warrant the commits
sion in establishing a schedule Of joint
rates which would be somewhat lower
than the rates now operative In Rich.

Officials Enter Protest.
It is understood that when City At

valuation his assistants had establish

excess OF the valuation the city itself
had fixed on its plant, they promptly

"Gentlemen. The undersigned
members Of the finance committee.
after carefully studying the finances
of the Board OF Public Education,
have come to the conclusion that the
deficit with which the board opened
its fiscal year can only be met by a
specific appropriation. We find that
Ehe board is by law expressly forbid
den to expend the monies at its COM
mand except for current expenses.
Moreover. We are Of the opinion that
The board is morally obligated 10 make
such disposition OF It's funds as will
Insure the highest possible degree Of
Efficiency in the schools. We there
fore submit and respectfully recon-
mend the adoption OF the accompany
fng budget. II will be seen from the
Agures therein set forth that the
schools Of our city can be maintained
with the funds appropriated for that
purpose.
