food administration worked out diff.
ferentials for the various grades and
classes and for the several terminals.
The price fixed is 20 cents higher
than the minimum named for the 1918
crop4by congress in the food control
bill The 81 price set was taken into
consideration by the committee in
considering fair valuation of this

I In statement accompanying the
of the price, President
Wilson declares it is the hope of the
food administration, and his own as
well, that the fixing Of. price will
stabilize the market and keep prices
within moderate bounds for all trans
actions during the current year.
The price Of -four and bread, too,
the president declares, will he kept
down.
Will Control Market.
2 The committee in it's report to the
president gave as its three chief con-
siderations that entered into its de.
alterations the following: e
The fact that the United States is
at war, the need Of encouraging the
producer, and the necessity of reduci
ing the cost Of living to the consumer
All members agreed in their discus
sions that the price fixed will permit
of a 14-ounce loaf Of bread for five
cents, allowing a fair profit both to-
the flour manufacturer and the baker
I Although the prices are fixed on
government purchase only, the food
administration, through it's wheat cor
poration, recently $organized, expects
to control the market without diff
Guilty. The corporation will make all
and allied purchases and
has under consideration plans to buy
for millers. If it serves as broker
between the terminal and the -four

to establish reasonable rates which
the inhabitants who use the gas or
electricity can be compelled to pay
Mr.. Shure quotes the entire decision
Of this court in which such public
utilities as water works and sewers
are dealt with and says that while ar
tif1cial light is not, perhaps, so abso-
lutely necessary as water. it is neces-
sary for the comfortable living of
ev%ry person and that although arti-
fetal light can be supplied in other
ways than by the use of gas or cleo
tricity, yet the use of one or both for
the lighting of cities and thickly set
tied towns is common. and has been
found to be of great convenience and
that it is practically impossible for
every individual to manufacture gas
or electricity for himself.
This opinion is approved and fol-
lowed in the case Of Mitchell VS.. Ne
gaunee, 113 Michigan, $50.
The Fargo Franchises.
81 have further examined the cleo
trio light franchises heretofore grant
ed by the city and find that the fran
chise granted to Alexander Hughes
and Edmund A. Hughes their sue
cessors and assigns, known as or
dinance No. 227. passed July 10, 1898,
expires July S. 1913" continues the
opinion.
81 also find franchise granted by
the city to the Fargo Electric Light &
Power Co, under date of Nov. z, 1881,
granting to said company exclusive
privilege of furnishing electricity for
lighting purposes, and OF erecting
poles and running wires for the con-
duction of electricity from the ma
chine of said company through the
streets and alleys Of said city and to
erect one or more towers of about the
height of $50 feet on the top Of which
is to be located the lights for lighting
the streets.
''February II, 1902, the city council
passed an ordinance known as ordin-
ance No. 27S, permitting the Union
Light, Heat & Power Co. to possess
and enjoy and exercise the powers,
rights and privileges of certain fran
chises heretofore granted to certain
parties and their successors and as
signs, among which is included the
franchise granted to the Fargo Elec-
trio Light & Power Co, known as or
dinance No. s.
ct would therefore seem, in view OF
the action taken By the council in
1902. that the city intended to recog-
nize the existence Of ordinance No. 8
even though all right therein may have
been previously forfeited by the COM
pany for non-user. The old franchise
provides for lighting only, and does
not include the privilege OF using the
streets, alleys. highways. ETC.. for the
purpose of furnishing electricity fol-
heat, motor power. or cooking.

ut will be observed that under this
provision of the charter power Is
granted the city not only to furnish
electric light for it's streets, but also
for the use of the inhabitants Of the
city.
Notwithstanding such enumerated
powers, however, and in order to make
more certain the intent Of the legis-
iature upon the subject, Mr.. Twichell
in 1913, introduced a bill which be-
came a. law, amending article OF
chapter 80 of the political code, being
section 1918 of the revised codes OF
1905, which reads as follows:
ITO purchase, erect, lease, rent,
manage and maintain any such sys-
TEN or part of system of water works

of water, fire and police signals, tele-
phones and telephone lines, fire ap-

or gas works, and to supply the same
for municipal and commercial pur-
poses, and to pass all ordinances
penal or otherwise, that shall be
necessary for the full protection

of the property so leased purchased

Massachusetts Decision.
1.-THE inquiry, however, will natural
ly arise; can the legislature authorize
municipalities to own electric lighting
plants which shall furnish not only
light needed by the municipality, but
lights to its citizens?
ut undoubtedly can, of the furnish
ing if light to it's citizens is public
service. This question arose In
Massachusetts and the house of repre-
sentatives of that commonwealth ask.
ed the opinion of the supreme court
upon the question. The court replied
as follows:

furnishing Of gas and electricity fol
Illuminating purposes is a public serv.

can be delegated by the legislature tt
