Municipal Ow.erslip q ! New Light
r. inx Franchise. ~.

lD4 franehlse. :. >
Editor P. D. The franchise Of the
Cresco Light. Heat and Power Co
will expire September 20, 1919, and
the question of granting this company
or some other company a new fran
chise, or whether the City Of Cresco
will take over this plant, or whether
the city will install a new one, will
be up at special election some time
this summer for our consideration.
It is a matter of much Importance
to all of us to be we'll informed as to
what is best to do that we can vote
Understandings and without bias or
prejudice.
Just when this election will be held
no one knows at this time but proba-
bly, not before July.
In voting a franchise to any COM
pany merely gives the city council
the authority to enter into contract
with that company.
I do not in this article wish to adj
vocate granting a franchise or not
granting a franchise but would like
to suggest that we require the COM
pany, if it wants a new franchise,
to submit the contract for the consid-
Grafton of the people which it would
want the council to accept, so that
the people will know just wh:t the
contract will be.
Under the present contract the city
of Cresco has the privilege, If we de-
sire to, to take over the plant and in
order to arrive at its valuation the
city would appoint a man, the COM
pany appoint a man and these two
would appoint a third man and these
three would appraise the: plant.
think it of great importance that the
people ascertain the value of this
plant, the cost of installing new
plant, the cost Of purchasing electric
current, if the city should conclude
to purchase this plant or should in
stall a new one, if we think best to
purchase electric current rather than
generate current. 49,
I understand that the newly reor-
ganized company is installing a very
large central power plant at McGreg-
or, Iowa, to work in connection with
the power plant on the Iowa river
below DEBORAH and thereby produce
a much greater current for it's en-
larged business and to produce it
much cheaper.
Doubtless there are other PROPOSE
tons that the people may have in
their minds but at this time the high
cost of everything and especially the
cost of electrical supplies, and if the
city should conclude to take over this
plant or install a new one we would

A BELGIAN Letter.

Bruno Herpelinck recently received
a letter from his niece, living in Bel
GUM. The: letter was written in Bel
gian and translated by Mr.. Herpelinck
as follows:
Ecklow, Dec. IS, 1918.
Dear Uncle, Aunt and Cousins:
With great pleasure I can write to
you again after four years of suffer-
ing from our enemies. We were not
free to call our lives our own: In
1914 the Germans marched into our
territory and. destroyed everything
they came in contact with. Right
away we started to mobilize our
armies. The Germans brought hun
dreds of cannon and machine guns in
to our territory and began to destroy
our homes. I cannot express in words
what they did-the cruelty to our
women and children; they misued
them shamefully. They cut the hands
and legs off the younger children.
They burned our homes and while
the victims tried to escape they would
shoot them as they ran. In two
months they captured Antwerp; 50,-
900 people escaped to Holland.
In the beginning of the war the
Germans were nice to US. They were
two-faced. Their purpose was to
get US to come back to Belgium and
when we went to cross the line cleo
trio cables were fixed and many were
killed suddenly.
We were put on food regulations
with just enough to keep US alive,
but poorly nourished. They also made
some of our men 60 to the front and
work; but my two brothers refused
and were put in crowded prison
with others who refused to work.
Butter, eggs and grains we could
not keep in our homes or we would
be fined and if you were too poor to
pay you were put in prison. All our
copper articles we had to give up;
also the wool out of our mattresses.
>, The second of November they left
our city and we were free. We are
all happy that the war is over, and
our family is all we'll.
