q quarter OF milo north Of State

mary road,
Changes 40 Proposed.
The change proposed Is to bring the
road south, ut q point northwest OF
town, cross under the Northwestern
tracks, and on q seventeen degree
curve, turn into the drst street south
Of the main street thru the town and
connect with the present pripary
road at the southeasterni edge of
town and follow tho south" to east
Of Ls.Moille.
The Northwestern railroad has not
stated whether or not It will aocsot
the proposed change. and II 1t does.
the county will Join in paying the
cost Of building the underground
grade crossing. Past experiences
with tho Northwestern show that 1t
probably will require that at least
one OF the crossings in State Center
be closed. The crossings are danger
Gus, and the stock yards crossing
possibly will be the one closed should
the change be made.
An estimate has been asked OF
County Engineer n. O. Hickok Of
the cost Of the proposed under
ground crossing. A meeting 10 being
arranged for the board Of supervisors
tho State Center delegation and offi-
GERS OF tho Northwestern.

loo asked a s1.70 rate with meter
charge additional. Then come down to
smaller towns, like Ames, and Ne
vada. Here the gas company supply
Ing both towns Is in court asking a
net rate Of from $3.50 per thousand
for the larger consumers. Some time
ago an ordinance established fixed a
$1.75 rate with 50-cent meter rental,
and the company found it was losing
money and asked for an increase of
$40 per thousand with r1eter rental
of so cents. The council refused tiffs
rate altho, 1t Is claimed, the company
was able to show that the increase
asked would not be compensatory.
&
The city council has before II, in
readjusting the local gas rate, an i'm
portant question that concerns the
pocketbooks Of a great many citizens
as well as that of a corporation which
has a Fight to fair return on It's in
vestmept. The council must be fair
to both sides. But whatever increased
rate Is made. 1t should be made with
the stipulation Of record that the
rate is temporary, and will be in ef-
feet just so long as increased costs
Of manufacture continue. When they
decrease, the gas rate should auto
matically decrease.

Local Con,,nept

Tho Times-Republican can sec no
reason for changing Its opinion Of
carnivals after having observed the
operation and results Of tho two
which recently closed here. Tho
records Of the police court az to ar
rests for gambling and thieving do
not commend the carnival q an In
stitution to be sought after for the
public welfare. The breaking and
entering OF houses during carnival
week may or may not have been due
to the presence OF the carnival, and
the games of chance that were raided
by state agents may not have been
any worse than at county fairs. No
one has any complaint on immoral
shows exhibited on the grounds Of
either carnival yet there was moth
ing about any Of the exhibitions that
had much real merit as an entertain
ment. The carnival Is cheap form
of amusement. regardless OF the fact
that the shows may be clean.
To those who want to place a
permanent bandstand on the public
square, why not add a merry go
round? That would please the
simple-minded perhaps even more
than the bandstand. A merry-go-
round could be operated thruout the
summer months out Of doors, and
then, with q subscription on the part
of public spirited citizens, it could be
housed for winter and made an
all-year place Of amusement. The
music, too, would have an elevating
tendency, and would familiarize a
great many with the latest popular
airs. There Is plenty of room on the
court house square for a midway II
sufficient money could be secured to
install It. But whether or not the
merry go round is added. and mid
way built. it would not take much to
build bandstand. Most villages
have them in their public parks.

where its public utilities company is
asking for increased rates for gas.
In fact nearly every Iowa city now
mas the same question to solve, or
has just agreed upon an increased
rate. Whatever Is done locally In
meeting the company's request for
an increase should be for a tempo
rary period only. and it should be
provided that the rate will be les
lened when costs and replacement
values come down, as they will, with
In q few years.
The federal COURT at Minneapolis
put into effect for August new gas
rate of 3i.14. Last February a tenta-
tive rate OF IS cents per thousand
cubic feet was fixed by the court. In
fixing the rate the court declares
that the valuation of the properties
OF the gas company was $4,000 900 as
of Jan. l. 1920; that the net cost of
supplying gas to private consumers
In 1920 has been $s4.s2 cents per
thousand cubic feet, that the COM
pany is entitled to TN per cent in
terest as rate Of return on the capt.
tai investment, Of 1880 cents per
thousand cubic feet above cost
bringing the selling price to $1.14 per
thousand cubic feet, disregarding the
small fractions.
The general rule il that a. cities
increase in population the rate for
Eas decreases. This may not always
hold true, but generally speaking
the larger the city the lower the
rate, up to-, q certain fixed charge
for manufacture. In other words the
more gas that is manufactured and
used, the cheaper the rate, and If a
city has prospects OF growth, and is
growing rapidly, with consequent
greater outlook for gas consumption,
the rate in influenced by this condi-
ton. The city Of Dubuque. whose
1920 population has not yet been an
nounced, but which had over 1900
population in 1915. recently adopted a
rate OF $1.70 per thousand cubic feet,
an Increase 6f Is cents per thou
sand. Waterloo, nearing the 10000
mark in population, has been paying
$1.26 until recently. when the rate
was increased to 31.45. with month.

The board Of supervisors acted
quickly upon the discovery OF Tus-
sock moths on the trees inv the
court yard, and I. L. Ressler Of the
entomoiogist's office, Iowa State Col
ego. Ames, was secured to treat the
trees and get lid Of the pests. The
spraying was done Friday afternoon
and this morning.
A mixture Of two pounds Of lead
arsenate TO fifty gallons of water
was used. The mixture will rid the
trees Of tho caterpillars but will
have no effect on the moths. which
do not feed, or the cocoon. Creosote
IL daubed on the cocoons, which con-
tain from 100 TO 500 little white eggs.
Owing to the fact that tho bands
on the trees wore not treated this
year, the caterpillars were able TO
get up the tree and the abundance of
moths was the result. Tho trees were
banded with burlap and tree tansle
foot later. Mr.. Ressler says that
there Is no danger Of the moths
killing the true. unless they get
started when the leaf buds are open
ing. They can make q tree very UNI
slightly. however.
