Disastrous fires In Iowa during the
month Of December may put the total
fire loss from the month in this state
considerably beyond the million dol
lar mark, so State Fire Marshal Ole O.
Roe estimates.
December a year ago registered a
loss Of 100000. But there have been
some costly fires in recent weeks. in.

loosa, Creston and Osceola. Novem-
Der this year was far less than No
vember, 1915. This year the fire loss
was .$350,000 while year ago it was
$S6S,OO0. December and January are
always the worst months Of the year
for fires. Up to December 1st this
years loss was much less than last
year but December's heavy losses
have put the total up again.

Cold Weather to Blame.

1.-THE severe cold weather is natur-
ally when we have the most fires,
said State Fire Marshal Ole o. Roe to-
day. Furnaces, stoves and Chin
neys are strained to the limit with
heavy fires for heating. Ms3y of
them are in no condition for such
straining and then trouble comes.
ION the whole, however this past
year has been a good one In Iowa so
far as serious fires are concerned.
IJp to this last month we were very
fortunate. We had gone bad fires
last January but the remainder OF the
wear, except December, was free from
costly blaZes."

REMOVAL SALE
WIN Be Held ny McIlvaln, Knox &
Diener beginning Wednesday,
Great Reductions In All
Furniture.

On another page OF this issue Of the
Ledger will be found an advertisement
by McIlvain, Knox & Diener Co. an
nouncing a big removal sale by them
which will begin on Wednesday morn
ing.
Several weeks ago this popular firm
rented business house on East Sec
ond street and since that time have
been very busy preparing to remove to
the same. Finding that they had a
large amount of stock on hand that
they could not conveniently store, they
decided to have a removal sale and
the results of this decision will be
shown on Wednesday morning when
the sale will open.
Furniture of all description will be
placed on sale on the morning OF the
opening at greatly reduced prices.
One may Judge for themselves the val
ne of this reduction by carefully read
ing the advertisement as found and
after reading 1t they will see that
such bargains have never been offered
to Maysville people before. The store
of the company is closed today and
will be closed tomorrow in order to
allow the owners to mark down their
stock.
The idea of removal sale at Christ
mas time will appeal greatly to q
large number of persons hunting suit
able Christmas presents. Certainly
presents for everyone can be found in
a furniture store and this will be a
great opportunity.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Ionlin. Mo. Electric FaiIur,
the Editor of The Age-HeraId.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Joplin, Mo, offers fine illustration of the foolishness of plunging into municipal ownership on the theory that (on paper) it looks fine.
 The citizens of Joplin were promised II years ago that by the investment of 80, GOO the city could get it's street lighting at a. cost that would save the taxpayers a whole lot of cash. Like most municipal ownership plants very small sum has been allowed for depreciation with the re- suit that the plant at the present time is worth just about 20 cents on the dollar, and the consulting engineer, MT. A. c. Moore has recommended that the city vote S182, ,9O1 worth of bonds to build a new plant. In 1915 without charging any in- terest on the $90, ,000 the plant lost S13 S37 .SS and with charge of per cent for inter est amounting to s3600 the total net loss was $17,437.S8. Some of the headed business men are asking why they should be taxed for an expenditure of nearly S1S3, 900 for a new plant when the old one cost ing $90,000 has constantly met with large deficits. Perhaps the taxpayers of Bir- mingham think it will be fun to pay the bills to enjoy the game of municipal so- cialism. Do they? F. G. R. GORDON, Secretary American Anti-Socialist League

until after the European war is closed. But what is looked upon as a strange feature of this matter is that with the plethora of money now on hand Ameri- can investors are still reluctant to make investments in these securities any many of them refuse absolutely to do so.
 It may be that this disposition which still prevails in part accounts for the new and highly artificial financing by means of which England and France will be able to secure in the United States the accom- modations needed to pay their obliga- tions to us This artificial financing is represented by the plan of mobilizing se- curities, turning them over to American institutions which, using them as basis, will issue their own securities upon them, for these are sure to be readily ab- sorbed, since they will be regarded as purely an American investment

application of our proposed rate there would be a reduction in the aforemen- toned revenues of this company of $2S0,3S3, which reduction closely ap- proximates the difference between the revenues and what we consider, fair . return to this company, as shown in the above figures
 Your committee further recommends that 1t would not be practical or pos sible for the city of New Orleans to construct and operate a municipal plant, and share with the existing companies the present or potential electrical business of this community, at rates more ad- vantageous than those recommended. Your committee in arriving at this final conclusion was guided very materially by it's chairman, who has had varied experience with matters and investiga- tions of this character, extending through out this country, and he particularly recognizes the fact that it is not possi- ble to serve electrical energy in this city at rates that will bear fair com rarson with rates in effect elsewhere. We cannot avoid our local existing con ditions. New Orleans, covering as it does, an unusually extensive area, with it's unfavorable soil and climatic condi- tions, as applied to electric service equip ment the fact of it's rates having been unpopular and it's number of consumers small, and the investment necessarily large, all tend to operate against the pos sibility of our securing such service from private enterprise or municipal operation at rates equal to what is possible else where. To demonstrate tho reasons for these conclusions We cite the following comparisons. which are absolutely authen- tic and correct as our chairman is in personal and direct charge of the mu- nicipally owned and operated plant which Is herein used in comparison.

qualified indorsement of the plan. Still it was not until James J. Hill spoke with ciearness and with emphasis at the time the negotiations were completed that the country obtained a good understanding of precisely what the undertaking meant to the people of the United States. There seems to he q feeling that there was not erough of the right kind of publicity which was necessary if the public was to be well informed.
 For this reason, many who are es- teened shrewd investors and capable men of finance refused to have anything to do with these securities. In New England the feeling was general that the loan should have been based upon collateral security, and it was a question common ly asked in the larger cities of New Eng land that if England and France went bankrupt what would become of these sepi1rifies7

II Sd. Your committee is unanimous in its opinion that it is ihad visable to establish rate based on the consum- er'ss connected load It is true that this method of charge Is still considered very scientific by highly technical ex- ports. but here in New Orleans. where your load factor is small. it is funda- mentally wrong to apply such tech nical method of charge. which in real l1ty serves to destroy the possibilities of the expansion of this industry. In fact. the connected load method of charge assesses penalty on all ex- listing outlets or sockets not in general use, and discourages the construction lof those avenues of distribution of electrical energy which are so Hbso- lutely necessary for the proper growth and development of this iinporfan, in- Idustry.
