Some Of tho other aldermen opposed
this plan, saying that an effort should
first Be made to arrive Ct satisfactory
settlement with the company. Alder
man Brown indicated that he did not
take kindly to the petitions, saying
that the company was entitled to some
profit on their product.
Alderman Hall suggested that the
petitions be referred to the company
and that they be asked for an answer.
This was done and the council decided
to meet the following Thursday eve
ming to receive the answer. The COM
pany filed it's answer with the city
clerk the first of the week and men

-Four petitions, one from each ward
in the city, and containing in all about
two hundred signers, were presented to
the council. The petitions suggested a
light rate schedule of 6-5-2 cents, for
80 and 60 kilowatts and over, and a
so cent minimum monthly bill.
City Attorney Cameron, upon being
asked what rights the city has in the
matter of rates, stated that it has
none on existing franchises but can es-
tablish a maximum rate for service in
granting new. franchises or renewals.
The power to regulate rates lies with
the state legislature, he said, and the
people have recourse to the courts and
to the legislature as last resort.
Alderman LaFond suggested that the
city take the matter up with the Min.
nesota League Of Municipalities and,
if necessary, with the state legislature.

damages in district court here last
June for the death of her husband at

fed by the attorneys for the defend

who presided at that session. denied
the motion and allowed the case to 90

ed being returned.

Just half century ago he entered the regular army as a colonel, becoming 8 briga- dier general in 1880. major general in 1890, and lieutenant general in 1900, three years before his retirement from active service.

From a woman received the coolest and the wisest analysis of the politics of the empire and the most sensible forecast of the struggle between the people and the bureaucracy. Through woman I ob- tained the greatest fund of informa- tion about the future commercial de- velopment of the land and about the opportunities for American business. A woman drew for me the dearest picture of what was needed to organize for military victories. It was the wom- an of Russia who, without distortion of self-interest, of prejudice or fear, could see what the new human growth required of compromise with the pres ent form of the government and what of fight to finish. And that is the most delicate question which Russia must determine in the decade which follows the final peace.
