Will Build Railroad.

Last week visit from Mr.. Parsons,
promoter of Washington, and this week
another visit by capitalists from Wash
ington makes it look as though Littles-
town will have another railroad electric.
The line is the old proposed steam one
from Washington through Littlestown to
Gettysburg. Mr.. John A. Shorb, of this
place, was director of the original or
ganiza ton. Construction of the road
was started and grading and building of
tracks was completed as far as Hyatts-
vile, Md. Here trouble was encounter
ed when it was found the road would
have to cross the tracks of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, and the outcome
of the controversy between the officials
of that railroad and the Washington.
Westminster and Gettysburg line, was
litigation, that has been pending ever
since. Recently decision was made in
favor of the latter road and the Wash
ington capitalists claim they are now
ready to resume work on the road dur
ing the summer. 1t was the original in
tention of the company to establish
steam road the charter calling for either
steam or electrically run carriers. Under
the plans that have been announced by
the Washington men, the first work,
since the cessation of activity several
years ago, will be begun this summer,
finances for the project being in sight at
this time.-Lttletow Independent.

The Town Statement.

Last week we had an article on the
town statement, in which it was
shown that from the figures shown by
the report that taking the total re-
ceipts from Electric Lighting and de-
ducting the total expenditures, there
was a showing of 1888 O6 deficit.
We were taken to task about our
methods and was told that instead OF
a deficit the town had SOL .SS cash
in hand.
Very well. we will accept this cor
rection, and for the sake of argument
will agree that from the statement it
will show that the town made a paper
profit of that much. You must 60
back to the first part of the statement
which will show that you took 500
from taxes and paid it into the cleo
tric light fund. In other words the
town paid for street lighting 500,
and this then is supposed to repre-
sent your profits for the year.
What are you doing about the de-
probation of the plant, pipe line,
lines, etc?
Ultimately you have got to renew
all of this, and each year must bear
its proportion. 1t will certainly be
as little as $500 per annum. Then
you've got to pay off the bonds, and
to do this at their due date you have
got to earn 81 900 more each year
than you are now getting.
You might as well look the situa-
ton square in the face. You can't
fool yourself the matter is too plain.
Then instead of having a profit of
500 you have a very considerable
deficit, certainly much more than we
pointed out last week.
Swapping Dollars" won't take
care of the SIS, 900 bonded indebted
ness and notes. So you will have to
either get more electric revenue or
raise the taxes to pay the debt or take
the alternative position of not paying
the debt eff at maturity but renewing
it for another twenty years.

Tell EN- What YOu Got.

The daily Frederick News says "notices
and envelopes stacked in piles are to be
found in the Office of the County Com.
missioners, where the work of sending
out notices to persons to appear anc
show cause why their household furni,
ture should not be assessed" All house.
hold furniture assessed at more than $l0O
will be taxed, the $500 exemption law
having been repealed.
No doubt this means trip to Freder
ick, or the sending of papers bearing a
list of all furniture in your home with
value attached and sworn to. The Com.
missioners want to know what you have
and likely the best plan will be to tel
them.

Houses in Demand.

Mr.. Sanford l.. Shaffer advises that he
has inquiries for several houses to rent
but is unable to secure same for his
clients.
At one time it looked as if there would
be- number of vacant houses, but this
week will see Mr.. Chas. c. Waters cot
tage occupied by Mr.. Trego and family
of Baltimore. This will leave but one
house unoccupied in the town and this
one is for sale or it would be rented
Thurmont is growing steadily and sub
stantially and we believe that if few
modern cottages were built at desirable
locations, that they could readily be rent
ed or sold.

Net income, S 900 48
During the year 1856 being very
wet season. there was no time the plant
could not have furnished all the current
used and the $5l1. SO paid the railroad
could have been saved, which would have
increased the net revenue. to 81 APO SO.
The criticism from our town paper was
quite severe; it merely overlooked the
fact that the expenditure column con-
tanned new lines, transformers, meters,
uncollected bills, and SOL SO of cash on
hand.
The profits from a Hydraulic plant
such as the town of Thurmont has, all
depend upon the amount of current sold.
We started witha gross income of about
$500. 1t has doubled itselfin five years.
Suppose we sold the current of the small
generator of 80 k. W. hours, Of hours
per day on lighting load the revenue
would be $5.475 per year, and motor
load of Is k. W. hours per day of ten
hours and 300 days per year at "a cents
per k. W. would be $ll25 or yearly in
come of $1,000, without any extra for
running the plant and that is only half
the capacity of the small generator Our
water last year was sufficient during the
whole season to take care of it,
