MADISON CITY
Commission
ECISION MADE AT LAST
- <t-@>Ts
NIGHTS SESSION TO SELL
ELECTRIC CURRENT TO
RAMONA.

A number of important matters
were up for consideration at the
meeting of the city commission last
evening
Several years ago there was a
standing agreement between the
Lake View township board and the
former board of city commissioners
relative to sharing expenses in con-
nection with grading and building a
road from Egan avenue west and
north of this city AS matters stood
then it was agreed that Madison
stand half the outlay and the town
ship board and the county commits
sioners each carry one fourth of the
expense. Last evening the commits
sioners concurred officially and ac-
cepted the stipulations as given.
After allowing certain estimates
on paving and gutter work motion
was spread on the records to adver-
tise for the sale of $4,000 worth of
sewer. bonds and also $4,000 worth
of waterworks bonds, bids to be OPP
ened and decided upon on Monday,
February 25.
For some time the village of Ra-
mona has been casting about look
ing for an opportunity TO purchase
electric current for power and light
ing purposes. The village board
placed the proposition before our
city commission who decided that
with the equipment we now have
at the plant it would be feasible to
grant the use of current, providing
the city of Ramona crest their c~~
transmission line across counirs
Gus service without diminishing our
own volume. A retailing line to
Ramona would be of great benefit
also to farmers who desired to make
use of current for lighting their
buildings to say nothing of the rev.
enue to be derived from such pur-
chase. The city plant has the most
modern machinery and is giving de-
pendable service.
The commissioners are favorable
TO installing a complete system of
bookkeeping for every business de-
partment. This, 1t is considered, will
be quite elaborate since it will not
only show cost of labor and material
but also every particular in refer
ence to the annual operation of the
electric light plant. 1t will elm
mate all guess work as to how much
it costs per kilowat hour to put cleo
trio current on the switch board. A
special bookeeper will be employed
to keep this system in operation.

PRYOR IRWIN
LAST NIGHT
BUSINESS MEN AND FARMERS
HEAR DISCUSSION OF WAYS
AND MEANS.

Pryor Irwin, trained specialist in
business efficiency and community
development interestingly discussed
oco-operation and service at the
first meeting of the Business Mems
and Community Institute held at
the court house last evening. About
one hundred business men and far
mers heard cooperation explained
as a factor in real wide awake busi-
ness operations. The speaker con-
trasted the self satisfied business
man with the fellow whose doctrine
was wide enough to consider a man
engaged in his special line in the
same town friend and not a COM
petitor. His outstanding notion
was that all lines of business form
ing a community of interests should
be boosted coequally.
Mr.. Pryor's talk was to the point
and weR taken by over 80 of Madi-
sons leading business men.
Tonight Mr.. Pryor will lead on
confidential matters linked with the
interests of both employers and en-
ployes. 1t is hoped that the court
room will be crowded with persons
awake to the trade possibilities of
Madison. No business man can af-
ford to miss this interesting ses-
sion.

INVESTIGATION
RAILROAD RATES
DAKOTAN WOULD HAVE COM
MISSION EXAMINE CAUSE OF
HIGH CHARGES INTO
STATE

Pierre, Feb. Investigation of
reasons for continued high railroad
rates and report to the legislature
is called for from the railroad COM
mission in a resolution introduced by
Senator Myers, of McCook. The
resolution points out that despite
falling costs of materials and labor,
rates on coal and farm products are
still at their highest between South
Dakota points and Minnesota, Him
ois and Iowa markets. Bills were
introduced in both houses providing
home rule for counties in the matter
of discharging highway superintend-
ents. The present law requires
county commissioners to show sat
isfactory cause to the state road de-
partment before such discharge. The
proposed bills would permit either
the county commission or the state
department to discharge on a show
ing of unsatisfactory service.
The legislature will decide within
the next two weeks whether state Of
ficers shall return to pre-war sal
aries and maintenance funds, or
shall continue amounts they have
received since the 1920 special ses-
sion. That special legislature rails
ed salaries of appointive officers and
expense accounts of constitutional
officers to a point necessary for
maintenance during the period of
high living costs.
The budget board recommended
that these temporary raises be con-
tinued for the next two years, be-
lieving any drop would mean loss of
men and inefficiency. The appro-
priations committee, now in posses
sion of the budget board report. will
Immediately introduce bills continu-
ing the present scale. AS soon as
they are acted on the amounts de-
cided by the legislature will be put
in the general appropriations bill.
which the committees hope to have
ready soon.

APP ROP RATION
COMMITTEE WORK
MEASURE TO PROVIDE FUNDS
TO RUN STATE DEPARTMENTS
NEXT TWO YEARS, BEING
FRAMED.

Pierre, Feb. 1.-Work on the gem
eral appropriations bill to provide
funds to run state departments and
institutions for the next two years
was started today. Chairman Fres-
committee, said they hoped to have
it ready for introduction about the
40th day of the session or in about
two weeks. The committee did not
coin of the house appropriations
have the budget board recommends
tions until just before recess and
has been unable TO take up their
one big bill before now.
Bills for salary raises will be put
various offices and institutions in
the general bill will depend on the
fate of these various measures. The
special accounts of constitutional Of
ficers. The special session of 1920
brought salaries of appointive Off
tutional officers up where deemed
necessary for existing high living
costs.
These measures were only tenn
porary, however, to hold until the
opening of this session. 1t will be
up to the present legislature to de-
eide what these salaries will be for
the next two years and on their ac-
tion will depend the amounts to go
into the general appropriations bill.
"Home rule" for counties when
il comes to discharging road super
intendents is the aim of two bills in
troduced in the house and Senate
Saturday afternoon. The house bill
is fathered by Clark of Lawrence.
Senator Knight of Clay introduced
the other one. Under the present
law of this state, county highway
superintendent can be discharged by
the county commissioners for cause
with the consent of the state high
way department. The two sides pre-
sented on this law are, on the one
hand, that ii enables the state de-
partment to carry out it's program
with efficient deputies in the coun-
ties despite local jealousies and
means continuity when discharge
without cause might mean continual
breaks which are hard on highway
construction; and on the other hand
that this Is paternalism by the state
that the counties SHOULD be able to
run their own affairs and he COM
missioners are elected to run the
county and ought to have power to
do it. The proposed bills which are
substantially to the same effect
would provide that the highway SUI
perintendent could be removed by
the county commissioners for any
reason they deemed sufficient, or by
the state highway department fol
incompetency.
The house spent half hour Sat-

s100.O00 FIRE
At ELK POINT
FLAMES THREATEN TO CON
SUME BUSINESS DISTRICT.

Sioux City, Feb. Losses ap-
proximating 100000 were sustain
ed Sunday morning at Elk Point, s.
d., when fire of an unknown origin
consumed the store building of Hen
kin & Henkin on Main street and
for four hours threatened to destroy
the entire business of the town.
A corps of about sixty fire fight
ers toiled all night to subdue the
flames and keep the conflagration
from spreading to adjoining build
ings. After the fire had ragged for
several hours and little progress had
been made toward extinguising it. a
call was sent to the Sioux City fire
department for assistance. Before
the trucks departed, however, word
was received that the Elk Point
fighters had control of the blaze
and Sioux City assistance was un-
necessary.
The fire was noticed shortly after
midnight by passerby By the time
the department arrived, the entire
EAR end of the store was in flames
II was not until O'Clock in the
morning that the flames were COM
pletely extinguished.
Despite efforts of the fighters to
prevent the spread of the conflagra-
ton, the roof and walls of the ad
joining building occupied by the
Flannery Drug company were badly
damaged.
The fire started in the northwest
corner of the back room of. the Hen
kin & Henkin store. 1t had obtain
ed a good start before it was seen
by passerby due to the light shining
through back window of the store.
Over 200 barrels of kerosene in
the back room of the building cre-
ated blazing furnace and envelop-
ed the place in on inpenetrable
screen of smoke. This room also
was packed with surplus stock, all
of which was destroyed.
Two pumps were put into action
and three lines of hose laid, but
there was not enough pressure to
main all three lines and one of them
was cut off.
The firemen, with the aid of the
citizens of the town, battled the
stubborn blaze all night before they
could make much headway. The
fire department is composed of sixty
men and the equipment they posses
is made up of an automobile chem
ical engine, four hose carts, and an
automobile hook and ladder truck.
Ed. Murphy is the fire chief.
The damage done to the building
belonging to Henkin & Henkin
amounted to nearly $4,000. while
damage to the stock was in the
neighborhood of $4,000. Fire in
surance to the extent of $4,000 was
carried on the building and the
stock was insured at approximately
$4,000.
The drug store suffered loss of
about 1900, but the extent to
which this was covered by insurance
could not be learned last night. The
total loss was close to 100000.
The cause for the flames is a nlys-
terry.
