gone UNDECIDED. what better cam

The fact is that they have neither

objections have been made to the
making and continuance OF this con-
tract, but they have been made Oh
the street corner and in the lounging

subject first came under discussion
until the present no citizen Of Grand
Forks has ever appeared before a
public body and contested the ac-
curacy Of the findings and conclusions
of Dean Crouch, on which the action
of the council was based, and no one
has ever attempted a public presen-
tation of a plan whereby the city
could provide itself with power at a
lower price than it is now paying.

Henceforth we must consider. no

THE RATE MIDDLE.

The document known as Order

advances in North Dakota was issued
from the Office of the railway commits

agreement between himself and Com

Mr.. Lemke,. appointed by the gov

The court, being informed of this,
caused the approximate order to issue
with notice Z . the railroads.
That injunction, we understand. ap-
plies to Order 1892, and to nothing
else. The court did not order the
commission to fix or not to fix any
rates whatever. It simply held that
the action which it had taken was
invalid because Of it's informal char

The commission, by the votes OF the
two members participating in the

THE POWER CONTRACT.

The general conditions surrounding
the contract of the city with the Red
River Power company for electric

clearly in the page advertisement OF
the Citizens committee. It is ex-
this contract involves M dismantle-
ment or abandonment Of n of the
equipment at the municipal power
station, this equipment being kept
constantly in readiness for instant use
that this contract was made only aft
or q hong and exhaustive investiga-
ton by an impartial expert in whom
everyone had perfect confidence; and
that this Investigation showed con-
, clusively that the city would affect a
material saving even at the prices
ruling for coal at That time.
The city. instead Of buying coal at
current prices. and taking chances on
delivery. Is buying power at q price
much less than it would cost to pro-
duce It in the city plant, rel with

The agreement between the two par
ties binds the Power company to re-
