self-confessed highway robber, sat for
two hours in the court room Tuesday

Bond

said, he had been for several months
in the insane ward of a military hos
pital at Fort Sheridan.
Oakley plead not guilty when ar
raigned, Nov. 80, with the understand
ing that he was to withdraw this plea

court. The plea of not guilty was
withdrawn at the start of the pro-

tence in the reformatory, Oakley must
pay a fine of $500 and costs, and will

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The modi-
fled proposals of the French govern
ment, as to the naval ratio to be al
lotted France under naval limitation
agreement were presented to the nav
al subcommittee of Is of the Wash
ington conference by Albert Sarraut,
head of the French delegation.
The French plan, as presented it
was understood proposed a fleet pro-
portion in the several classes of craft,
so as to give France a navy that
could be devoted largely to defensive
purposes.
The presentation of NJ Sarraut, it
was learned, was largely one of the
principles, much attention being given
to the necessity felt by France for
adequate defense.
The French delegation head indicat-
ed Frances willingness to make con-
cessiOns on capital ship tonnage but
not as to submersibles and other aux
iliaries.
To what extent these notifications
may bring the French naval position
into harmony with what the other
powers regard as the basic principles
been cast still remained unanswered
after a day of somewhat conflicting de-
velopments. Considered in its broad
aspects, however, the adoption of a
conciliatory attitude by the French
was in itself regarded by American
officials as a long step toward a set

PERK DISCOURACES
CHANGE IN LOCAL
LIGHT PLANT RATES

The board of public works at meet
ing this morning adopted the recon-
mendation of Benjamin F. Perk, and
will not attempt to reduce either light
or power rates at this time. Mr..
Perk whom the city has employed as
expert accountant, said that the plant
is now in excellent shape and should
continue under the present rates.
The plant has value now of S1,043,-
600 on which it should earn eight per
cent with the present rates. Mr.. Perk
said seven and one-half percent is
considered a reasonable return on a
utility but if the city can continue on
the eight percent basis it will take
care of the plants losses during poor
years.
Should Earn $4,000.
The plant this year Mr.. Perk said
should earn about $8S000. A reduc.
ton of one cent in power and light
rates would reduce the revenue by
$112, 900 which amount would not pay
, the operating cost, and would wreck
the plant.
Mr. Perks report follows:
December 90, 1921
Board of Public Works,
Richmond. Indiana.
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your request, | submit
the following reasons why I recon-
mended to you that there be no change
In the present electric light and power
rates in the city of Richmond at this
| particular time:
1. The earnings of the plant for the
year 1921 have actually been such as
would show approximately rs per cen1
| earned on the investment This earn
/ ing is not at all unreasonable nor ex
cessive.
2. During the year 1920 the plan
earned nothing whatsoever on it's in
vestment and in addition suffered {
loss of approximately $25 900 There
being no excessive earnings in 1921
as heretofore mentioned, it is obviou:
that this deficit has not yet been re
covered
8. The plant investment has in
creased from $756,O00 a year ago t,
now 81 1,043,000, an increase of 38 pc
cent, whereas the K. w. generation o
this year is an increase of slight,
| more than 3 per cent of a year age
| This large increase in inyestmen
IlRduS a luCH larger increase In nXei
charges. | call your attention to tn
fact that for the year 1922 it will b
! necessary to expand $4,000 TO retir
old bonds, $4,000 to retire new bond
and S21000 for interest on the bond
outstanding, or total fixed charg
alone of $4,000. This big increase Il
investment is largely reflected in th
new turbine, which is not yet in opel
alton, and consequently the plant ha
been unable due to this fact and ais
to the peculiar economic condition
under which we are living. to increas
its load in proportion to the invest
ment. It is only when the load is il
creased materially that these fxe
charges in terms the units, l. e.. pc
K. W. H., will be reduced.
4. While it is true that there hav
been reductions in the price of coz
|, and labor, these reductions have nc
been such as to make possible larg
reductions in the electric rates TIL
average, price of coal per ton in NJ
vember, 1921, was S4.96; the averag
