PLAYTlM E.
BY WALT MASON

If one is wise and thrifty through
out his youth and prime, he may re-
tire at fifty, and have a bully time.
Out here where I'm abiding the old
boys come to play; l see them gaily
riding along the pike all day. / see
their autos trundle, and cheer them as
they pass; each old boy has his bum
die and can afford the gas. / count
them by the dozen, these old boys
come to play, whose gorgeous boats
go buzzin' along the asphalt way. They
toiled and wrought like thunder in
days of auld lang syne; they gathered
in the plumber and put it down in
brine; they pressed against their col
lars in busy days of yore, and earned
the useful dollars and nailed them to
the floor. And when their locks were
graying, they had their store OF
wheels; they said, Its time for play
ing and kicking UP our heels. For
years we have been thrifty; no more
We'll put up ice; declining years seem
nifty, when old boys have the price"
My blessings will pursue them as they
go past my door, but other old boys
view them with spirits sad and sore;
old boys who still are shaving, to earn
the meagre kale, because they side
stepped saving when they were young
and hale.

are made at once. Wornout parts are replaced
with new ones. Leaks in steam pipes are re-
paired Immediately. New parts and replace
ments do not lie on the floor for months before
they are connected. The plant is maintained at
high state of excellence at all times. The man.
ager knows that it is poor business" to neglect
making repairs in order that an alegedly good
book showing might be made of the finances of
the plant.
1t seems as if the whole theory on which the
municipal light plant has been operated is to re-
fran from spending money for necessary repairs
in the plant and to refuse to hire competent
mechanics to do the work that is required in a
utility that is valued at 81 100000.
The failure to make the small expenditures
that were necessary to keep the plant efficient is
showing itself now in the very large sum of
money that will have to be spent to make the
repairs and alterations recommended by the con-
sulting engineer. If this money had been spread
over number of years, the plant would be in
excellent condition today and the city would not
be face to face with critical condition.
The same observation holds true of the en-
ployment of competent mechanics. The consult
ing engineer rightly holds that coal can be saved
if the boilers are stocked correctly under the su-
pervision of a man who knows his business.
Money also could have been saved if competent
men had installed and repaired some of the ma
chinery.
We do not know by what standard men are
selected for positions in the plant If it is true
that politics governs their selection and that fit
ness and ability are not among the required
qualifications, then we are paying the price of
that folly. The remedy for that condition is a
housekeeping that will supplant inexperienced
men with mechanics and workers who can accom-
plsh results.

The Weakness of the Municipal Light Plant


The report of Engineer Lyon on the condition
of the municipal light plant emphasizes point
which was made many weeks ago by manufac-
turers and others. The plant has suffered from
mismanagement and poor operating methods.
This finding epitomizes everything that can be
said about the condition of the plant.
Months ago it was pointed out that the plant
could not produce results if it not manned by
men who knew the mechanical work for which
they were paid 1t also was shown then that
unless repairs were made as soon as breaks ap-
peared, it would only be a matter of time until
the plant became of junk.
If city officials still believe that conditions in
the plant were overdrawn by those who investi-
gated them, the report of the consulting engineer
should convince them that the full truth was
awaiting the investigation of experts who had
enough technical knowledge to see weaknesses
that had escaped the notice of laymen.
AS soon as our city officials will look upon
the light plant as a corporation does upon util-
ity it owns, conditions such now found in
the municipal plant will not develop. In we'll
managed utility that is privately owned, unsatis-
factory conditions are not permitted to go unno-
ticed until accrued" repairs and requirements
reach critical stage. Requirements and repairs
