MIAMI HAS TO TAKE LIGHT
COMPANY'S WORD FOR BILLS;
HAS NO WAY TO CHECK UP

Showing what troubles Lakeland IS
spared by owning her own light mao
water plant, we publish the following
from the Miami Metropolis:
Miami, Nov. 25.-Miami-that 49,
the city-doesn't know how many
street lights she has or whether they
burn or not. All she knows Is that
she has to accept the bills the electric
light company puts up to her and pay
them, with notes, for that reason. she
has to take the company's bills on
faith.
This fact was divulged at a meeting
of the City Council last night when
City Auditor E. A. Hoffpauir recon-
mended that the City Council issue
note in the sum Of $15,241..56 in favor
Of the Miami Electric Light & Power
Co. for the payment Of bills that had
accumulated over a period dating back
approximately a year. All had been
approved previous to last night, with,
the exception Of bill for $119.52.
Quizzed as to the authenticity OF
thu bills, Mr.. Hoffpauir informed the
councilmen that under existing condi-
lions there is no means OF telling
whether the bills are legitimate or
not, that there is no record Of how
many lights the city should pay for
and no check is kept on whether the
lights burn at night or not.
Mr.. Hoffpauir told the councilmen
that the only way record can now
be secured of how many street lights
have been installed for the city is to
20 out and count them one by one
as there isno record to 60 back to
from which to check up. He said 1t
would do no good to go over the back
minutes and check up the number OF
lights ordered installed, as the lights
may have been installed, but probably
not. There has never been regular
investigation to see If these lights
were installed by the company as or
dered.
Let Police Do 1t
AS to finding out whether the lights
were burning at night, Mr.. Hoffpauil
thought it might be possible TO hav'
the city divided into districts and lie
the policeman in each district maxi
o note of lights that were not burn
ing. He realized, he said. that !
would not be possible to cover tn
whole city this way each night bu
alternately in the proposed district
and make surprise attacks on tn
!, electric light bills, as 1t were.

gested that a plan which had bee
tried with success elsewhere was t

made to his department that the
lights in Miramar had not been burn

On motion of Finance Committee

The situation with our associates n

wheat is the most restrictive product
in A~merica-in fact in the world.
A report from DR.. Raymond Pearl Of
Washington shows the following "a.
tioning allowed in the allied nations.
Please notice carefully the lessening
of bread in England and France.
In March, 1917, England was al.
lowed 4 pounds OF bread and ~
pounds of meat for each person per
week. In November, 1917, a voluntary
~rationing reduced it to 2 2-3 pounds o
bread and 2 pounds CT meat, mhile in
February, 1918, finds a rationing to be
IL pounds sugar, IN pounds meat
and a little more than a pound Of bread
per week, wL4le in the United States
the voluntary ~rationing on Jan. / was
3 pounds Of bread and 2h pounds OF
meat per week; and again on April /
the voluntary %rationing was lie
pounds of wheat per week, while there
is no limit at the present time to the
quantity of meat we may eat.
In France, in March, 1917, the corr
pulsory rationing Of sugar was 1-3 OF
a pound per week. In January, 1918,
the compulsory %rationing of bread was
Az pounds per week, a fraction over l
pound of sugar and a little more than
/ pound of meat per week. So you see
we are exceptionally blessed in having
plenty to eat in the United States.
A French soldier visiting this coun-
try recently, stated from his own OBJ
servations, that when a vessel bearing
food from the United States was lost
there were provinces in France which
had to go without bread until the next
vessel would arrive. Three days sup
ply of food is all there is in France at
this time; so the reader can readily
see the necessity of doing a little
thinking and put that thinking into &C.
ton In doing his part to conserve food
to help win the war.
In many communities in Mississippi
voluntary pledges have been entered
into not to use any wheat in the homes
