This peace congress Is actnated

noses than any other congress that

The following reasons were cited
hy MIR. Taft for the necessity of form
ing league of nations, which he de-
r1ared should at first be composed OF
America and the nations with whom
we fought as allies.
Il. To restrain international friction
hefween the young nations growing

German colonies, which it is abso-

continued Mr. Taft. THE meaning

CITY ELECTRIC PLANT
QUESTION At HEARING
Ordinance Committee Wants Informal
tieu on Subject of selling Power
TO Consumers.

Citizens generally are invited TO at
tend the meeting OF the council com
mittee on ordinances tomorrow night.
when the question of commercialixing
the city electric plant will be dis
cussed.
This question was put TO many candi-
dates during the recent campaign, and
the question seemed to be OF such i'm
portance that many Of the candidates
stated they preferred to study the
situation before committing themselves
on the proposition.
Members OF the administrative board,
who suggested That the city sell it's
electric current, will be present to en-
tighten the committee, and representa-
tives of the Virginia Railway and
Power company will be on hand TO
discuss its end of the question
The administrative board maintains
that the city can sell Its current, there
by deriving much returns which may
be devoted TO the maintenance and ex-
tension of the plant. and at the same
time give consumers lower rates
Ali these phases of the situation will
be discussed at tho meeting tomorrow
night.
