We accommodate in this hotel on an average of perhaps twenty families per week who come here with the expectation of remaining for the win ter. I believe that the local hotel business is the best right now that it has been for any similar period for a long time past, and this can be taken as an indication pointing to the great amount of travel that is headed in the direction of this city.

GREAT BRITAIN
SENDS CALL FOR
100000 men

LONDON, May 1s.-Great Britain's
hope that the war would be closed
speedily was blasted by members of
the cabinet today.
In the upper branch of parliament,
Lord Kitchner, secretary of state for
war. called for 100000 more recruits
while Premier Asquith in the house
admitted that the government con.
templated the possibility Of long
war and was taking steps to meet any
emergency.
In both houses the government was
questioned as to the ammunition re-
sources Lord Kitchner expressed
confidence that the supply would be
sufficient in the very near future. In
the Commons the premier refused to
give any detailed information stating
that any discussion would be inoppor'
tune and hazardous to the strategical
situation, but said opportunity would
be offered hereafter.
The government had contemplated
the possibility Of long war and had
taken steps to husband the resources
to meet any emergency.

Instead Of setting forth in this peti-
ton that the city would desire to have
the commission appraise the electric

company to establish selling price
so the city could consider the desir-
ability of taking over the plant
through condemnation proceedings,
the commission is informed in Section
Four of the condemnation proceed

States Definite Purpose.
"That the common council of the
city of Richmond. Indiana, by a resolu-
ton duly and legally passed an ap-
proved on the 10th day of April, 1915,
in accordance with all lawful require
ments, deems that good business judg-

and Power company within said city
and the vicinity thereof that is used
and useful in producing, transmitting
and serving electric current a duly
certified copy of which resolution is
hereunto attached. marked Exhibit
A. and made a part thereof"
Believing that the city has now act
ually exercised its option to purchase
the L., H. and P. plant, a number OF
business men and attorneys are also
convinced that the city can only with
draw its proceedings now by obtaining
the Light, Heat and Power company's
consent to such action.

City Attorney Bond today still main

of criticisms that by acting upon his
advice the city has actually been COM
mitted to the purchase Of the electric
plant of the Light, Heat and Power
company, when it was generally sup
posed by members of the mayors spe-
cial committee, city councilmen and
other city officials that under the pro-
ceedings inaugurated by the city 1t
was optional with the city to purchase
or refuse to purchase the plant any
time within 120 days after the state
commission had established the pur-
chase price of the privately owned
plant.

this matter at this time," Mr.. Bond
said. Il do not intend to try this

Reid Refuses Comment.
Pettis A. Reid, president of the Eli,

champion of the municipal electric
plant and member of the mayors
special citizens committee, said today
that at this time he did not care to en-
ter into a detailed discussion of the
circumstances relating to the city s
efforts to purchase the competing
electric plant. He did say, however
that in his opinion certain interests
are now trying to poison the public
mind against the proposed purchase OF
the Light. Heat and Power company's
electric plant"

for the city to pursue is to continue Its
endeavors to eliminate local competi

am no lawyer but do not subscribe tt
the views of the representatives of the

the city, by Ming Its condemnation

After carefully studying the argu-
ments advanced by the representa-
tives of the Light, Heat and Power
company, that the city has actually
purchased the plant of that company,
the majority of Commercial club mem
bers who attended the meeting last
Saturday night are quite convinced
that the company's contention has
been well taken.
They interpret the wording of the
resolution passed by council, instruct
ing the municipal authorities to pro-
ceed to acquire the competing electric
plant, a virtual exercise of the option
conferred upon the city by the state
utilities law for the purchase Of the
competing plant.
Cite Option Clause.
Section two of this resolution reads:
"Be it further resolved, That the
board of public works and the city at
torney of this city are hereby author
lied and instructed to proceed prompt
ly and as by law provided to carry into
full force and effect the provisions OF
this resolution SO that the city of Rich

the property of the Richmond Light
