THE ICE SITUATION
FROM A WOMAN'S
VIEW POINT

Editor Evening Telegram:-Will
you kindly allow me space to ask a
lew questions, for have the aver
age woman's curiosity. Being a tax
payer, | naturally feel an interest in
what affects our city.
First when the number of improve.
ments were voted upon we were
positively promised our taxes would
not be advanced, but every year the
millage is advanced and property de-
creasing unbelievably.
We do not regret the necessary
improvements, but what is the diff
ference between increase of tax and
increase of millage?
Second. This ice proposition. Has
not the city the power to regulate
the price of such, vested by the new
charter? And would not that be a
better way than to go to the expense
OF equipping place and having a mu-
nicipal plant, which would cause an.
other advance in taxes. Besides
while we have some of the best men
in our city as Commissioners: no one
can see in the future, how others
may see things and if We have a
/ municipal plant, the Commissioners
will have power to place the price as
they see fit, and the people will have
no redress.
| feel very grateful to the people
for putting the price of ice back to
the old price.
These are a few thoughts of a
woman taxpayer.

PROPOSITION OF
MUNICIPAL ICE
PLANT Before
COMMISSIONERS

At the meeting of the City Com
missioners last night the proposition
of establishing a municipal ice plant
was discussed, and preliminary steps
looking toward the voting of bond
issue for the purpose were ordered
taken.
The matter was brought before the
commissioners by a committee from
a recent mass meeting of the Fed
Grated Unions. 1t was the opinion of
those who expressed themselves that
with the power plant the city owns
an ice plant could be operated on a
basis that would furnish ice at low
er rate than the people are now pay,
ing
A resolution was prepared by the
City Attorney covering the matter,
and this will be acted upon at the
regular meeting of the Board on the
second Wednesday of next month.

Band SUSPEHDS BECAUSE
Of LACK Of financial
AID; NO MORE CONCERTS

Prof. Marks, leader of the Lake
land Band, announces that the band
will disorganize, owing to the fact
that it cannot exist on the sum it
has been receiving from the city, the
amount being $25 month.
Last night petition, signed by
practically every business firm in the
city, was presented to the city COM
missioners, asking that help TO the
extent of $50 month be given to
the band, but it was denied until
the next budget is made up The
band boys feel that it is impossible
to maintain an organization OF the
present basis. and they have there
fore decided to quit until the max
ing up of the budget. In the mean
time, there will be no more open air
concerts, nor will there be any band
available for public gatherings of
any kind, which will be regretted.

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES

Two good audiences greeted the
pastor at the services on last Sun
day.
The Christmas sermon was deliv-
cred Sunday evening. The Epworth
league met in the basement rooms at
$3.50 p. m. for social hour and lunch
after which they passed to the league
room for their devotional meeting.
The Christmas exercises by the
Sunday school on Monday evening was
of an unusually high standard. The
decorations were beautiful and each
child did his or her part in a splendid
manner. The children were asked
this year to give rather than to re-
ceive and at the close of the exercises
