THE MASSACHUSETTS METHOD
OF MUNICIPAL PLANTS
What els the City Getting for the
Money Raised for the Plant by Tax
ation?.

The statutes of Massachusetts, relat-
ing to municipal light plants pre-
scribes that the excess of the esti-
mated annual expenses, including the
gross expense Of operation, mainte-
nance and repair, interest on the debt
created to pay for the plant, depre-
citation, sinking fund or debt require
ments and loss in the operation of
the plant during the preceding year
over the estimated income from sales
to private consumers shall be included
in the annual appropriations for
maintenance and in the tax levy. Fol
this excess, which it must thus raise
by taxation, the city or town receives
the street, and Ia some cases, the
public building lighting.
In some instances electricity fur
nished public buildings is metered
charged at the same rate as to Qri.
vate consumers, and paid out OF
other appropriations in the same man
ner as though the plants were pri-
vateIy owned. In other instances
also specific appropriations are made
for street lighting presumably with
the number and type of lamps to be
supplied in view.
For these reasons, it is desirable to
know from the standpoint Of the city
or town, as a municipal corporation,
what it is getting for the money raised
for the plant by taxation, and on a
basis comparable with the cost to 1t
of lighting it's buildings and streets
if served by a privately owned plant.
Such information can only be obtain
ed by estimating the electricity used
in public buildings when not meas
ured, and computing the cost per
street lamp based on the average
number of lights used per day and
apportioned between the different
types of lamps according to the eper-
gy theoretically necessary to supply
them.
For all it's expenditure the NUM-
cipality lin Massachusetts, receives
only it's street lighting and the in
come from it's commercial business
and the cost of the former to the city
or town is the difference between
such income and the entire cost OF
carrying on the business. Obviously
such cost is effected by the profit or
loss in the cost commercial lighting
With the exception Of marlborough
all other municipal plants producing
their own current are operated by
steam, while marlborough utilities
water as well as steam power.

TELLS CHARACTER
OF WOMEN BY HAIR
Novel Method Adopted by Enthusiast
on Hair Culture Causes Discussion

on Hair Culture Causes Discussion
Show me a woman with fascinating
hair, an immaculate scalp free from
dandruff and an abundance of her own
hair, and I can usually show you a
careful woman with a home spotless1y
clean and a husband whose life is one
Of comfort and contentment.
On the other hand, well, the less
said the better. OF course, there are
exceptions that prove the rule, said
the speaker, who by the way is a man
that conceived the idea of producing
beneficial preparation for women's
hair-one combining ingredients that
not only make 1t radiantly beautiful
and fascinating, but refreshes and in
vigorates the hair roots so as to pro-
mote an abundant growth of healthy
i hair and at the same time banishes
every trace of dandruff.
So uniformly successful is this de-
/ lightful preparation now known as
Partisan Sage, that there is probably
not one druggist in the United States
| that does not guarantee 1t to give the
fullest measure of satisfaction or
money back. Lee & Osgood have
| scores of women they supply regularly
with Partisan Sage, and the cost is
| trifling.

EDNA MAY, ACTRESS AND
 MILLIONAIRE'S WIFE
 BIDS ADIEU TO STAGE

Especial to Gateway by United Pross)
 NEW YORK, April 18.-Wheu Edna May acts for the benefit of the Actors Fund in a special performance at the Century Theatre tomorrow night it will not only be her first pub lie appearance in eleven years, but her last appearance on any stage. This announcement was made by Daniel Frohman, President of the Actors Fund, who obtained Miss Mays consent to appear for the fund.
 'It will be a farewell not only to the American stage but to the entire world" said Mir. Frohman. Miss May would never have consented to appear before the public again except for the sake of charity. Her profits from the moving picture she is now acting for will also be devoted to a charitable cause. She will turn them over to the allied war sufferers"
 Inquiries have been made of Mr. Frohman as to whether the actress would be seen in her famous role from "The Belle of New York" but Miss May has not sung for so long she has decided to give something else. She will act in new one-act play, written especially for her. Miss May closed her professional career in 19O7 when she was married in London to Oscar Lewisohn, millionaire New Yorker They have made their per- manent home in England, with in- frequent visits to this country. Her only appearance on the stage after that was in 1911, when a company in which she was the only professional played a week at the Savoy Theatre in London for charity, clearing almost $2O,OOO.
 The Actors Fund performance at the Century will have the assistance of other prominent actors. A few of them are Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson, now making a farewell tour of America; Mime. NazimOva, who will appear in a new playet on the divorce question by George W. Middleton and Marie Dressler.
