REDUCTION ON POWER

Opposition was expressed by Mayor
to the suggestion of Superin-
tendent Kleinknecht of the city light
plant, that the light and power rates
can not be reduced 25 per cent as
with the present schedule.
Il do not understand why Mr.. Klein
knecht should figure $4,000 as a fair
annual estimate for new building and
equipment" said Mayor Robbins. Il
believe that this is at least $4,000. if
not 100000 high, and that this amount
of money could be used in lowering
the rates. / do not understand on
what basis the superintendent places
his figures for the reports every year.
including the erection of the new unit
at a cost of $81 900. has only averaged
$4,000 a year, and there is no reason
to expect that another additional unit
would have to be built for years to
come, and surely not until after 1927.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 22.-Vith
the contention that the Republicans
offered a precedent, the Democratic
leaders are now preparing TO submit
a platform at the state convention
next week which will follow the plan
of the Republican party and VIII say
very little concerning any OF the pro-
posed progressive measures This Is
the program, according to the men
who will be important factors in pre-
pairing the platform, because some OF
the politicians are insisting now that
the Republican platform OF this year
is good one upon which to get votes
even though it lacks the :'puncn
which the Progressives placed In their
declarations in the days of the past
Leaders are Laughing.
u is the question of votes which is
dominating the interests in the Demo
cratic camp, and the leaders are
laughing heartily now that the Re
publican convention preceded them.
Representative from various sections
of the state said today that they were
pleased to see some OF the reform
forces conceding to the Republicans
that it was not necessary TO emDooy
these reforms in the Republican plat
form because this eliminated the pos
sfbility of the Democrats declaring TOT
for the same reforms. -.
Last year we could not do anything
, but permit those persons to get those
planks in our platform" said one OF
the men who will be instrumental IN
( framing the platform this year. you
see, most of them are Republicans
and they like to make us suffer. II

prudent to put the Progressive declar

galore, all over Wayne county, SEIZED
uled for yesterday and today, were

skirmishes booked for this afternoon
did not materalize.
1t is doubtful whether games sched-

necessitate the working of Old Sol

shape for games tomorrow afternoon.
