will undertake to answer as
fully, yet briefly, as possible the
above questions, taking them up by
Eumber as they are propounded:
i. will not attempt to answer as
to the town officials report to the
public. "They are Of age; let them
speak for themselves" If I may be
permitted to paraphrasc from a very
high authority. AS to the Commits
sicners OF Public Works. they have
no funds available for the purpose
Of publishing reports Of the commits
sion's transactions. Monthly re-
ports were, until Il few months ago,
made to Council. AS secretary Of

own business should be neglected or
the commission reports held over
until such time as ! am able to take
up that part OF the work again, and
| chose to abandon the monthly re-
ports temporarily rather than sacri-
flee my own business. If the City
Council sees tict to publish the COM
missions reports, or an annual ab-
stract Of them, no citizen will be
more pleased than the members OF
the Public Works Commission.
2. 1t is not fact that the mem
bers Of City Council get either their
electric lights and power free The
three members Of the Public Works
Commission do receive. as compensa-
ton for their services, free lights
in their homes. For their business
places they pay the same rate as
ether citizens, and each member Of
the commission, though receiving
free residence lights. Is numbered
among the paying patrons OF the
local lighting plant. as each Is in
power, or both The business with
which am connected pays the Light
Commission from Sc to $40 month
for current, or an average the year
around Of about IS a month. The
other two members use less current
at their places Of BUSINESS, but what
they use IS paid for at the same rate
charged for similar service when
furnished to any other citizen.
3. AS to the legal right OF the
members Of tho commission to re-
ceive free lights in their residences
as compensation for their services,
interested citizen" will have to con
suit some lawyer. Frankly. do
not know whether we have any legal
right to free lights. but morally. it
seems to me, we have the same right
to receive this slight compensa ton
for our services as a merchant has
to receive money from the town for
goods sold to the municipality, or q
lawyer to receive fee for legal ad
vice, or the Mayor his salary, or the
Councilmen their meagro stipends.
There is no compensation fixed for
the services Of the Commissioners Of
Public Works, and the only ground
upon which to base the practice OF
furnishing free lights to the three
com missioners for their residences is
that 1.-The laborer is worthy Of his
hire" That IS tho only moral"
ground upon which the mcag.c "com-
pensation," self-granted. suppose,
could be based. TO my way OF think
ing, 1t is an all-sufiicient ground

back to the starting point it will be
found that the commissioners have
from the very beginning, had to
wrestle with the knotty problem Of
purchasing, erecting and maintain
ing and financing plant costing
over $1,000 with about $1,000
available cash. Interested citizens
will readily recognize, therefore,
that the commission has had Il
"handto-mouth" existence, the COM
.nissioncrs doing the best they could
to meet obligations outstanding and
keep the local plant in operation
We have been unable as yet to find
any electrical supply house that will
furnish US metres for the asking.
Hence we have to buy metres as we
can, and not all Of the citizens have
been supplied. At such times as the
commission finds itself in possession
Of small amounts OF cash that are
rot at the moment needed to meet
obligations or pay for necessary sup
plies. metres are purchased Recent
ly we found ourselves in a position
of this kind, and another dozen
metres were ordered. Unfortunate
ly, when they arrived 1t was found
that they were not "cycled" so as to
| be OF service on our system. Hence
twelve patrons who have been get
| ting current on "hat" rate are, for
March, still receiveing "fat rate"
current instead of on metre basis
We have endeavored to confine this
unavoidable "fat rate" business to
the smallest users Of current, and
IL "An Interested Citizen" will point
out to us any citizen now paying only
81 for three or four dollars worth
ns service, the commissioners will
be under lasting obligation to him.
We have done the best we could
under exceedingly adverse condi-
tons. Results are not what we
would like to see. but they are GER
tainly the best we could get, work
ing under the numerous handicaps
with which we have had 10 contend
