the lamp is really worth and $1,000,
which in two years will cost the tax
payers for 80 lamps, about $1140.
That which is inside of the lamp
and the dynamo at the plant is what
produces the Candle Power. Refec-
tors of different kinds are made which
distribute and reflect the light rays
more perfectly than some others, but
these pieces of glass or polished tin
DO not increase the Candle power of
the lamp. The most perfect exam
PIE of light distribution in Palatka
can be seen in the windows of The
Palatka Stationery Co., owned by
Cochrane Brothers, but this perfect
distribution of the rays of the light
from the lamps in no ways increases
the Candle Power of the lamp.

Editor Palatka News:
l dislike very much to ask you to
give me a space in your paper, but in
consideration of the fact that l have
addressed the Tax Payers twice late
ly, once in communication through
your paper dated December 9th, 1916,
and again through communication
dated February 18th, 1917, but
The present position that the City
Council has taken in amending the
Franchise of August 21st, 1914, to it's
present form as passed in open Coun-
Gil, February 18th, 1917, makes this
communication necessary. My letter
Of December 9Th, 1916, 1916, was made
in order to call the attention of the
City Council that they had been billed
for arc lights commercially known as
1000 Candle Power, which under the
then existing Contract with the Light
ing Company was to receive $500
per year and that without permission
from the City Council they had vio-
lated the Contract then in force by
discontinuing the Arc light service and
substituting a Gas filled Mazda lamp,
also known as nitrogen lamp of 500
Watts, with a candle power Of about
$50 AS stated before that Contract
was made in January 1915, to take eff
feet February 18th of that year and
end February 18th, 1917 Section
NINE of that Contract reads as fol-
lows:
NINTH: The party of the
second part agrees to furnish the
City of Palatka with good and
sufficient bond in the sum of One
Thousand Dollars ($ 100000 to
secure the faithful performance
of this contract"
If the City held any such Bond Sc
cured by any of my friends as sure
ties, they would have been liable il the
city had paid at the rate of $500 per
annum for lamp giving about $50
Candle Power, was released from all
further liability on that Contract and
had no further financial interest in it.

ed by the Lighting Company dated

FORMER RUS. CAR

WRIT OF ATTACHMENT AGAINST

MILLION DOLLARS.

New York, Nov. 20-A writ of
attachment on the personal property
here of Nicholas Romanoff, former
emperor of Russia, was signed by
State Supreme Court Justice Russell
Benedict today in a suit for $780,
900 brought against Mr. Romanoff
by the Marine Transportation Serv-

Noumburg. attorney for the corpora
tion, the former emperor OF all the
Russians, has several million dollars
worth of property in this city,
mostly money in banks, which will
be seized under the writ as soon
as located.
The corporation alleges that 1t
contracted with the Russian govern
ment. In 1915 to transport goods to
Russia and the Russian government
defaulted upon the contract. The
suit was brought upon the emperor

The Nation Must Concentrate and
C0nsecrate Its All
(From Manufacturers RecOrd)

We face to face with the most stupendous crisis
in human history. This is the most momentous hour
that civilization has known. There is middle ground
1t death victory. Death to country; death to
the and babies of the land; death TO its men;
death to civilization and to the civilization of the
world, all the side; complete victory of this
country and the Allies Germany on the other.
The struggle will be long and desperate one. It
will tax to the utmost every latent and every developed
mental moral spiritual, financial and physical force of
this country.
He who is Stacker in thought in word or deed
is enemy to every woman and every child III tins
country enemy to our nation and to civilization
He who is not willing to throw into this contest, in
his office in his factory his farm, in his pulpit in
his teachers chair in his work clerk, editor,
mechanic, day laborer every ounce of his
strength, mental and physical and die If need be in the
work for his country the soldier the battlefield,
is degenerate slacker traitor despicabe creature
who should be spurned of all men, believe he will
be in the eyes of the Almighty the lukewarm whom
God has said will be spewed out of His mouth because
he is neither hot nor cold
Let it be preached from the pulpit let il be taught
in the classroom, let it be proclaimed wherever men
meet let every individual soul outside of the insane
ASYLUM, think and speak in terms of consecration and
concentration of all that is him and all that he has,
this the greatest task to which the world has
been called.
We can wfn we gloriously win if the nation will
consccrate its all to the winning. But il means fearful
sacrifice Of the flower of the nations life thrown upon
the altar in defense of all that men and women hold
dear earth 1t consecration to the nations
salvation eternal damnation by Germany. Which do
YOU choose?
