Should Vote 1t Down

The question of a municipal light
ing plant will come before the tax
payers of Hancock in the near future
in the form of bond issue which will
be submitted for their approval or re-
lection. 1t is to be hoped that the
people who have to pay the bill will
have time given them to give the
matter careful study before they
vote. If they do study the question
they will refuse to approve the NUM-
cipal plant 1t is certain that the Of
ficials of the city can make a contract
with the private lighting company
which is now furnishing power and
light in the copper country which will
prove for more advantageous to the
taxpayers than municipal ownership.
In all Michigan there are only two or
three municipal plants that actually
operate at a profit and these use wat
large claims for their lighting plants,
but they never present statement
which bears out their assertions.
The losses are cleverly concealed
and the taxpayer foots an additional
bill for lighting without being made
aware Of the fact
Hancock taxpayers can gain some
valuable information from the numer-
Gus municipalities in lower Michigan
that have abandoned their lighting
plants and are now contracting for
their lighting, much to the profit of
the taxpayer.-Financia Record.

RACING SEASON NEAR
Thoroughbreds Being Assembled for
Opening at Bowie.

With the opening of the racing sea-
son on the trocks of the east which
acknowledge the authority of The
Jockey Club of New York only a fort
night away, thoroughbreds are rapidly
assembling at the Benning and Bowie
racetracks from all parts of the coun-
try.
The Southern Maryland Agricultural
Fair Association will begin this season
as it began last at Bowie, Maryland's
newest racing plant, which lies midway
between Baltimore and this city. on
the interurban electric line. Bowie
will threw open its gates April /, and
the thoroughbred will hold court with
in the confines of the well equipped and
picturesquely situated grounds of the
fair association for fifteen days.
Bowie is a better place for racing this
spring than il was last year. Supt.
Thomas Strahan. the former superin
tendent at BenninG. has been busy all
winter leveling and filing. narrowing
and rolling. He has filled up all the
depressions and ironed down the
bumps, and the Bowie track is now as
safe as any in the country. 1t prob
ably will never be as fast as some OF
the courses about New York. The char
acter of the soil upon which ii lies is
against that. The soil is light and
sandy like the soil OF the old Benn1ng
course. Soil of such sort, however, has
its uses. 1t does not freeze up readily,
which makes Bowie an excellent place
for early spring and late fall racing
and for wintering horses.
