Fare-O-Meter, Invention of
Newark Genius, Solves
Present Problems.
By Farmer Smith.

NEWARK. AuS 5,-The NORTH
Newark Scientific e1risty has awarded
the Award OF Mert Cross to HaEris
Schwartz, Plum Bui'ling, this city
(real estate and business broker;
agent for business places of every
description; country business a spe-
cialty), for ais invention which prom
ises to solve all the disputes about
fares on trolley lines.
Mr.. Schwartz calls his patent the
Fare o Meter
Should the invention prove a sue
cess, It will probably be called the
fay o-meter," being fair to both
patrons and trolley companies alike.
Electric railroads are the most ex-
pensive lines In the world to operate,
Consequently, the attendance last
night at the weekly meeting was
large and enthusiastic beng attended
by somo of the best known trolley
magnates in this country and abroad.
Mr. Schwartz claims that passen-
gers on trolley lines should be charged
by weight and not by the person as
at nresent.
Speaking before the n. N. s. S. last
night, amid a great deal of heclhling,
Mr. Schwartz said in part:

WOMAN DISMISSED ON Big
AMY CHARGE SEEKS DIVORCE
Mrs. Laura Dunn GOOdpaster Seeks
Divorce From Her First Husband
In Suit Brought Wednesday,.

Late Wednesday afternoon Mrs.
Laura Dunn Goodpaster, under the
name of Laura Dunn brought suit in
the Mason Circuit Court for divorce
from her first husband, Thomas Dunn,
of Bracken county. This divorce suit
was brought after Mrs. Goodpaster
had been dismissed on a warrant
charging bigamy for having two liv-
ing husbands and had been fined on q
charge of adultery for living as hus-
band and wife with Quillen Goodpas-
ter in the city of Maysville.
In her petition the wife charges
abandonment and cruel and inhuman
treatment against her first husband.
She says in her petition that she was
married to Thomas Dunn in the early
'9O's "at time when she was beside
herself"
This is a most unusual case and SO
far as is known, the first of the kind
ever brought in the Mason Circuit
Court. A woman with two living hus-
bands brings suit for divorce from
husband No. One. Just how the case
will finally come out in the local court
will be watched with great deal oi
interest.

OPPOSES DRIVING OF
BARGAIN BY STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH
Judge Cochran Makes Further Explain
alton Of His Position In Water
Filtration Question.

Federal Judge A. NJ ]. Cochran, this
afternoon issued this additional state
ment on the water filtration question:
Maysville, KY, March 4th, 1920.
Daily Public Ledger:
Just word more somewhat in the
way of explanation of my reasons for
plan suggested as to the way of OBJ
tanning a filtration plant.
First. The Water Company can not
be compelled to provide such plant
and it won't voluntarily do so. The
only way it can be had is for the city
to provide it. This means that it is
! to put up the money for IT, According
to the Water Company's proposition
the money is to be provided in the first
instance by it and it is subsequently
to be reimbursed by the city. 1t is
possible, If not likely, tnat the Water
Company to get this money will sell
its six per cent. bonds at a discount
possibly as much as fifteen per cent.
This means that the City will ultimate
ly have to stand this rate of inerest
and discount. My plan prevents the
possibility of such happening. The
City itself can provide the means in
the first instance by selling it's five
per cent. bonds to its own citizens,
possibly at premium, certainly not
less than par, and thereby prevent
the possibility of its having to pay so
great cost for the money.
Second. The City should have
something to show for its investment.
It should not be expected to make a
free gift of this large amount Of money
to that company. 1t should perhaps in
fairness have common stock On an
equality with the present outstanding
common stock of the company. If by
good business management the com
mon stock can be made to pay, the City
will receive a return Yen its invest
ment and it will have voice in that
management. And if ultimately 1t con-
cludes to purchase the plant it has
that much already paid upon it. The
way put it, i. e. the stock which the
City is to receive from its investment
to be subordinate to the present out
standing stock, was a concession to
the Water Company to show that l
am in no way opposed to filtration
plant and will go the limit to help in
getting it along right lines. 1t is for
the City, however, to determine
whether it will make any such con-
cession.

COUNCIL TALKS over
COUNTER PROPOSITION
City CounClImen Meet Informally and
Hear Captain Harrub's Counter Pro-
pOsal on Filter Plant.

Several members Of the City Coun-
Gil held an informal meeting with May
or Russell and Captain C. N. Harrub
at the Council Chamber last night to
talk over the filtration proposition
which at-the present time Is the one
paramount subject of discussion at all
gatherings of citizens.
Captain Harrub presented to the
members of Council copies OF pro-
posed. counter proposition he had
drawn up from the proposition pre-
sented by the Water Company to the
City and rejected by Council at its
regular monthly meeting on Monday
night. The provisions of this counter
proposition will be held secret by the
city officials at the present but no ac-
tion was taken on the matter as We'd
nesday's meeting was merely an in
formal gathering.
Indications at present are that the
city officials and the Water Company
may be able to get together on some
equitable proposition but just what
this proposition will be is not known
at this time and it will probably re-
quire some time for an acceptable
proposition to be drawn
