dressed a miners meeting at Mul-
berry, a camp near here, and urged
the men to return to work.

CITY TREASURER REPLIES
TO CHAMBER COMMERCE
To the Waterville Char

To the Waterville Chamber of
Commerce:
Gentlemen have read with
much interest your report of the
findings Of your committee appoint
ed TO investigate and report on non
partisan City Government" and es-
pecially the first paragraph of the
report which relates to the indebt-
edncss Of the city. The statement
published by your committee is, to
way the least. grossly misleading
II some politician had gone to work
To- prepare svdtement with the de-
liberate intention of fooling people
he could hardly have done better
job.
Your report gives the Indebtedness
Of the city on Feb. /. 1914. as s425.-
800. AS near as 1 can determine these
figures are simply the amounts OF the
outstanding bonds and notes added
together. The City Auditors report
Of that date shows the net debt of
the city to be $391, 463 "a.
Your report gives the Indebtedness
Of the city Feb. ]. 1915. as s439, 900.
which is again apparently the
amount OF the outstanding bonds
and notes added together. No men,
ton is made of the big high school
fire and the collection of nearly $780,
900 insurance by Mayor billiards
administration. which placed the
city in a position to make a tempo
rary reduction in it's note indebted
ness. The City Auditors report Of
tbat data ,;,.o, ,h1 nat ,3ot>% Sbo
city as s42O.65S55.
Your report gives the Indebtedness
on Feb. /. 1916 as $4,000. The City
Auditors report gives the net debt
as $42S9S0A
Your report gives the indebtedness
on Feb. !. 1917 as $526. 900 and the
City Auditors report Of the same
date gives the net debt as $473,-
265.64.
In both 1916 and 1917 your figures
are evidently obtained by adding the
amounts Of outstanding bonds and
notes. the total gross indebtedness,
with no allowance for assets.
In your report OF the indebtedness
on Feb. !. 1918 you give the amount
as $4S6. 900. but you lose sight Of the
fact that in order to show a note
reduction at the close of Mayor
Meader's financial year it was neces-
sary that the City Auditor show
further liability Of s11.0o9.1s which
he lists as "Treasurer's Account Ov-
erdrawn." that the assets do not
show one cent in the City Treasury,
and that nearly $4,000 bills were
carried over to this financial year.
can not see that it makes any
difference whether Mayor billiards
administration uses insurance money
to reduce outstanding notes, or
whether Mayor Meaders adminis-
tration accomplishes the same re.
suit by carrying an empty Treasury.

Prominent Chicago
Men Favor Return Roads
To Private Ownership

Chicago, Jan. l0-Promincnt CHI
caSo financiers and business men
yesterday approved the plan of the
national association Of owners Of
railroad securities for return Of
the railroads to private ownership by
cooperation with shippers. allowing
rate increases when needed. as pro-
mulgated by S. Davies Warfield, pres
ident of the association.
George NJ. Reynolds, president IF
the Continental and Commercial Ma
tional Bank, Chicago's biggest fnan-
cial institution. said
Il am in hearty sympathy with Mr..
"arfields efforts. There should be
cooperation between the shipping
interests and the transportation lines
that would allow reasonable inter
est on rail investments. The public
must sooner or later understand that
it must pay for the character Of ss"-
vice it demands. There should he .
proper relation maintained between
outgO and income. l think if som
committee could be formed that
would be charged with the work CT
taking care OF both income and Out =
go Of railroads it would work to the
interest OF everybody. This commit
tee would allow wage increases AMI
the same time would be charged wit h
the responsibility of taking care Of
such increases with higher rates. I
believe thoroughly in the private
ownership OF railroads. The govern
ment should supervise but not too
strictly the operation Of the carriers;
Ownership or too high control ~
federal government would kill the
initiative Of everybody concerned. I
think if the railroads were held rs
they are % months longer tie public
would make demand for their re
turn tn private ownership"
John j. Mitchell, president Of the
Illinois Trust and Savings Bank,
sald: Il Edo not think there is any
radical difference between Mr. War
fields Plan and that of the railway
cooperation Of the shippers ard 70
have them feel that his plan is not
adverse to pooling. | think ali the
plans provide for private opera ton
with strong government regulatory
power. The owners should be allowed
to run the railroads but with strong
government support. The whole ques-
ton turns around wages and rates.
The shipping public must understand
that you can't have all outgo and m
come
John G. Shedd, president Of Mar
shall Field s, Co. said; II have not
sufficiently studied the various sug-
gestions that have been made 10
make q definite statement of prefer
cree as to the best procedure Of
handling the railroads problem
THE business interests Of the
country are intensely interested in
the service rendered by the railroad,
and ] am quite sure the needed SER
vice can be Only secured under oper-
alton Of private interests think the
roads should be returned to their
stockholders at the earliest moment
under such government control as
would allow the pooling Of certain
facilities"
Most important also is the ny
ranging # rates high enough to com
pensate labor with wage sufllcien,
to establish proper living conditions
and to leave 4 balance for the proper
remuneration OF the stockholders
and also sufficient TO provide for the
upkecp Of tn propertie, to the high
est degree OF efficiency and safety"
