Since a total of something like

less than 300 at most generally

of any individual bill getting thru

good Judgment be applied to this
question and the remembrance of
the fact that electrical commodities
have increased in cost less than any
other commodity. Investments in cleo
trical machinery even at this time are
not prohibitive.
w. CLEMENTS, The Wayne Works
1t Is entirely proper in our opinion
for the city to increase rates and sub
side a sufficient depreciation fund.
We consider 10 per cent fair amount
on electrical machinery The purchase
of an additional unit repends entirely
on the necessity for 1t at this time.
In view of the extremely high price
of machinery 1t would seem inadvis-
able to make such a purchase at the
present price, unless such purchase
were imperative. AS we generate our
own electrical power, we do not know
of the strength of the present neces,
sity for an additional unit but reas-
enable protection in any case is simply
a matter of good business practice
If contracts for supplying current to
as the Wayne Light and Power com.
pany can be entered into with profit
to the municipal light plant, and with.
out jeopardizing its ability to supply
all the current needed locally, we see
no reason why such contracts should
not be made.

David Eden smoked his after-dinner

Coward a Eden; good far beyond
