New York recently has furnished a
striking lesson for the consideration
of proponents of municipal ownership
OF public utilities. Following investi-

Quoted by the ranking experts of the
East on municipal economy. IL is found
that the city can purchase electricity
and steam for power. lighting, and
heating purposes more cheaply than 1t
can manufacture IL, even without con-
sidering capital represented IN the mu-
nicipal plant.
The experiment was tried out in
1913 by supplying five of the princi-
pal municipal buildings with electric
ity and steam from the plant in one
of them. The total cost to the city
for one year was s3s.31l.51. and the
Investigators reported that the same
service could have been purchased from
the Edison Company at a guaranteed
saving OF at least $4,000. The expert
ment cost in the neighborhood of $780,
600. of which amount the Edison Com
pany paid one-half. The test was con-
Quoted under the direction OF the Blu
reau of Municipal Research, whose sug-
gestions, incidentally. as to improve
ments in Washington, always have fall
len on attentive ears in the Municipal
Building here.
In view of the announced intention
of two of the Commissioners here to
bring about municipal ownership of
public utilities, the New York expert
emit is of unsual interest, not only to
shareholders in the local concerns, but
to all taxpayers as well. Those d.
recting the test were DESTROYS of MAX
ing record: perhaps 1t would not be
unfair to say that they hoped the
experiment would prove the practical
bility of municipal ownership. At any
rate, the experiment was conducted
under the most favorable conditions,
constantly watched over by experts,
and without any of the political loose
ness and inefficlency which might rea-
sonably be expected to result from a
large and established municipality
owned system. No doubt this report

SPECIALTIES LEAD DAY
American Locomotive and Can Head
Quiet TradinsIEst, as Whole,
Should Improve.

New York, Feb. 23.-AIthough special
ties led the market today, there was no
sign OF great uneasiness In any depart
ment. Professional traders expect the
market to break II relations with Ger
many are suspended, but the banking
fraternity Is OF the opinion that such a
move Will help the market. Therefore
the market rested easy throughout the
days session.
OF the stocks that led the quiet market
American Locomotive and Can were the
most active. They had as partners such
shares as United States Realty, Corn
Products and Crucible. Marine shares
also were active, but declined. and de-
clined on good news, for the company is
to put several steamers released from
war service into the Atlantic trade.
Weakness Of grain suggested that the
American people might be getting ready
for the annual bet on the crops. With
scientific farming the danger Of crop
failure grows less every year. until now
Il is hardly worth considering. There
fore Wall Street is very much disposed
to begin, even before crops are planted,
to discount the big harvest. That is the
meaning Of Iow-priced grain now.
Market should Improve.
Taking the market as a whole, II is in
good condition. and, according to all the
rules OF procedure that have proved val
liable in the past, the market should I'M
prove.
Wall Street made Up It's mind today
that the decision in the American Can
dissolution case would be made public,
and acted accordingly. AS the company
Is reliably reported to be making in the
neighborhood Of 80 per cent on the COM
mon stock. the street naturally expects
some activity when this decision Is made
public. It does not seem reasonable that
a stock earning 80 per cent would be let

Tuesday made temporary superintendent
OF the Soldiers Home in Raleigh, and

that larger work. The purpose is to en-

steward, a whole time physician not be-

tails which will be worked out next year.
Mr. Milton is a business man of High

FINE RECORD FOR HIGH
POINT
Over 1000 School Children Enroll First
Day Of SchoOI--ROoms Crowded and
More TO Fellow .

The city schools opened Monday
morning with a rush., to use the
sensational advertisers words. To
be exact there were 2053 children
who applied for entrance, an in
crease of 200 over last year. Main
street school had 836, Elm street
555, Grimes $50, Park 215 and
Fairview 10. There were 434 chill
dren entered Monday morning for
the first time. The day was given,
over to preparation, in assigning the
children to their rooms and grades,
furnishing them with a list of the
needed books and otherwise getting
in shape for good term of school.
The book stores were busy all day
and far into the night waiting on
1000 chileren who wanted the re-
quired books. A safe estimate
would place the total cost of all
books needed at five thousand dol
lars. The supply of many zof tie
books ran out early in the day and
more will have to be ordered, the
demand being so great. The school
book business is handled on close
margin and of course the dealers
did not want to get more than
really needed.
High Point has always had good
schools and here's expecting the
high standard to be maintained un-
der the present administration.
Appropriate opening exercises
were held at the South Main street
school Monday morning in which
Supt. Mari, Mayor Pickett. ex-
Mayor Tate, Postmaster Farriss, Rev.
l. A. Peeler and Prof. Taylor took
part.

Senator Lee S. Overman of Sails.
bury.
The speaker was introduced by
Editor W. N. Keener in a. very ap-
propriate and well worded speech.
The editor hasn't the space in
weeks paper or the inclination
to attempt to reproduce the master
ly effort of the junior Senator from
North Carolina, because we feel Our
inability to do the speech justice in
an off hand manner.
Mr.. Overmah told of the great
constructive work accomplished by
democratic party and continually
asked why a change. He took up
this work separately and then col
lectively and each time exclaimed
another mile post in the work >of
uplifting humanity and making
it free from rings and combines"
He referred to President Wilson as
the great pilot steering the old ship
safely over the rocks of war and
strife aud having heart full of love
for his fellow man.
The big crowd was with him and
gave hearty applause. The Spring
field band furnished music for the
occasion.
Quite number of our republican
friends were on hand and listened
attentively to what their Senator
had to say,
