AS the big deal OF the light plant
proposition il about to come to q close,
1t might be of interest to the tax
payers Of Richmond to give them my
experience in public life and as city
official.
Experience 1-Some of my readers
will remember when the Big Four was
built through Lynn and williamsburg
they offered to come to Richmond IL
she would vote q subsidy of sec, 900.
Our papers were against 1t. and as
was very intimate with one of the
proprietors of paper; in fact, put
him on his feet, said to him: Here,
want you to tell me why you are
fighting this railroad proposition; you
know that Richmond needs another
railroad, and what is $4,000 to the
taxpayers" He finally acknowledged
that they would. have to come down
with the cash to get his support.
Experience 2-While l was in coun-
ell the contract for lighting, the city
was about to expire. A gentleman by
the name of Erban came to Richmond
and gave the council bid for $85 per
lamp, much cheaper than the city was
paying then. Mr. Erban took the coun-
Gil to Chicago to the exposition to show
us the different electric plants in oper-
alton. While there, Mr.. Adams and
myself got into conversation with an
electrical engineer We were telling
him what we were there for and the
offer we had to furnish the city with
light He said. 1885 is a very reason
able price," said. 81 can't see it
that way, for have here correspond
ence from different cities, and l find
where cities owning their light plants
get their light from $35 to sos per
lamp" The gentlemen's reply was:
Eyes. if go to any city to get con-
tract, the first thing do is to get
the papers on my side, next to get
enough councilmen to see my way
and it takes a lot of money to do that.
Then get a contract for ten years, at
the expiration of which we have to
60 the same route, SO you can see why
corporation has to have more money
for the lighting of cities.
Experience 3-When the council
was getting in earnest about building
the present city light plant, gentle
man stepped into the mayors Office,
then on South Seventh street, and lay
ing down large number of one thou
sand dollar bills, said: This is for
you if you see to it that the city light
plant is not built. and buy the L.. H. &
P company's plant" The mayor
looked at the money, counted 1t,
looked at the man and said, do you
mean to say that that light plant is
only worth 5000"
Answer-'This has nothing to do
with this" The mayor told him that
mo inducement would prevent this ad-
ministration from building the city
light plant, and I'll see to it that it is
built" l asked Mr.. Henry Deuker

in Richmond lining up council and the
city papers came out telling the pub
lie all about how this man was lining
up the city council. This Meyers came
to Richmond and sent his agent home
or some place else. Mr.. Meyers came
to me, and told me he would make It

told him this was not the place to talk
about such matters, and asked when
could meet him that evening after
seven o'clock. He named the place and
hour to meet. Then l fastened up to
Harry Stars office and laid the mat
ter before him, to ascertain how to
proceed, SO was ready to meet the
gentleman. Mr.. Meyers Offered me
$4,000 and s per cent on all extras, for
he said In big contract like this there
are always a lot of extras, which will
make you probably $4,000.
When the bids were opened Mr.. Var.

council was considering the different
bids suggested that the bids be taken
into consideration to give council time

nation regarding the responsibility
and ability of Mr.. varney, for building
light plant for the City of Richmond.
The answers that came were very ia.
vorable for Mr.. Varney.
When council met to let the con-
tract the question was asked. Have
any of you any information as to the
contractors ability? No answer.
Finally I said If nobody else has, I
have letter from J. w. Kern and a
telegram from Tom Taggart, which the
clerk may read After the reading l
said. Mr.. President, on the strength
of these recommendations and the fact
that Mr. Varney's bid is much the low
est, l don't see how any councilman
could look into the faces of citizens
of Richmond If this contract was not
awarded to Mr.. Varney. therefore, l
move that this contract be awarded to
Mr.. Varney. The movement was car
ried and finally made unanimous.
Mr.. Varney's bid was $4,000 with
no extras.

AS for the real reason for Miss Lu-
dolph's resigning, they are most alb
surd. We have been friends for the
past six years, and she knew two
months before she ever considered
taking up the work In Richmond, that

regret is that l should get a friend of
mine In such mess as Miss LudOlph
got into when she came to Richmond.
Also the fact shouldn't be lost sight
of (although it wasn't mentioned in

the greater part of the work for De-
