saving that the erection of an cleo
trio light plant has been delayed so
much as that certain interests were
opposed to the building of such plant
and were continually throwing
wrenches into the machinery and
blocking the advancement of the
building of a new plant at every step
and opportunity.
Building materials are down as low
right now as they are going for some
time and labor is at standstill for at
least another year, so there is no use
of longer waiting on this score.
Superintendent O'Toole says that we
ought to go in for 10000 kilowat ca
pacity plant. He also says that $780,
600 won't erect such a plant, but he
recommends that we erect buildings
with such capacity plant in mind and
install only such units as are required
to furnish the city's needs as we go
along. The $650,000 will cover this
expense, and at the same time the
plant may easily be enlarged in the
future by simply installing addition
al units.
By the way, have you noticed how
particular some people are to keep
before us the fact that the plant
can't be built for $650,000 and that it
will cost a $1,0O0,0O0 or $1,200,000? :?
Have you noticed it? Oh, you Mon
roe! But the people are going to be
taken care of in this deal.
Another thing. Much has been
said about water power. 1t is said
that land and water rights at Woods
dale can be purchased for 100000
and that plant could be erected for
100000 additional that would give US
enough current to meet the city's de-
mands; and in fact Middletown's, too,
| for many years to come at cost of
| IA cents per kilo watt. Won't hurt
for the engineer to look into the pos
sibilities of the water suggestion
while he is at it. Let's look into all
phases of the thing while we are at it;
let's not rush it, but for goodness
sake, let's cut out some of the com
mittees and DO SOMETHING.
Mr.. O'Toole tells us also that the
present contract with the Ford plant
is costing the city from $2500 to
$4,000 monthly because of the agree
ment the city has with the company
to take a certain minimum amount of
current from the company, and the
city doesn't need this amount during
the summer months. Mr.. Ford isn't
to blame for this situation, nor is he
trying to hold the city to it's agree
ment; but Mr.. Ford had sent unit
from Detroit especially to care for
the city's needs at cost of about
$4,000. The city owes much to
Henry Ford in this situation, as well
as to the Champion Coated Paper
Company, who also came to the front
on several occasions when the city
was in dire need, but we can't expect
Henry Ford and the Champion Coated
Paper Company to care for US for
ever,
City council is on the right road
straight ahead, and keep going.

HURRAH FOR ROLLY!

Hurrah for Davis Not for Gov
ernor Davis do we hurrah, but for
Senator Roland G. Davis. Senator
Davis and Governor Davis have had
setto and we believe that senator
came out first best; at least he got the
last crack. 1t seems that the govern
or became peeved over the actions of
the senator on one of the governors
pet bills, and when the senator called
to fill an appointment with the gov
around for about a day and half,
| was advised that if he had anything
| to communicate to the governor he
| should write it out and send it by
| mail. Saturday, after the recess was
voted, the governor sent for Senator
Davis, and the Senator promptly sent
word back that ''if the governor has
anything to say to me, tell him to
| write me a letter" BY golly, we
| didn't think it was in the senator to
do such thing and we raise our hat.
And just while we are about this,
tIyn IN hot
was RIGHT on the women's mini
mum wage bill, and was one of the
very few that was RIGHT on this
proposition. We don't agree with the
senator on many, many things, but
credit where credit is due, is the pol
| icy of the Press at all times no mat
ter whom it may concern, and credit
is due Senator Roland G. Davis in
this instance.

BIG DEMONSTRATION
BY LONDONS IDLE
Thousands Participated in Plans Drawn
Up to Emphasize Serious
Conditions.

London, Sept. demonstration in
which many thousands of London's I'M
employed participated occurred last
last night, and marked the eliminating
point of the unrest among the idle
which had prevailed here during the
past fortnight. Several members OF the
borough council of Poplar, section OF
London, were arrested and lodged IN
Brixton prison tor refusing TO raise the
tax rates in accordance with an order
from the London county council, which
had taken action to raise funds to care
for the destitute. The arrest OF the re-
mainder of the council members, some
OF them women, was expected to-day
The Woolwich board of guardians
was asked by a deputation Of mon
ster demonstration to pay % shiiiings
a week to each unemployed man and
wife, with an additional dole OF eight
shillings for each child. Demand was
also made that rents should not be col
lected from men out of work. These
demands were rejected by the board.
Several men who had spent Wednesday
night in a workhouse in Hackney, re-
fused to leave in the morning. They
were arrested and later sentenced TO a
weeks imprisonment.
Belief was expressed to-day that a
ROYAL commission would be created to
inquire into taxes and equalization OF
rates for the relief of the poor.

Cost of Emigration.

Our guess is that the 100000 Ger
mans who appear in news item as
prospective emigrants really exist. 1t
would be surprising if no more than
that number wanted TO escape the
difficulties which now surround the
Germans of moderate and small means.
But in view of the fact that the cost
of a voyage to one of the Americas
is in the neighborhood of 10000 marks
per person. it is more than doubtful II
tenth of the number quoted are able
to afford the expense of the trip.
The total cost of the migration of the
number quoted would be nearly as much
as the total monetary issues of the Ger.
man government, even including the
tremendous imitation that has taken
place since the war. Add to that the
fact that each emigrant is allowed to
take 10000 marks, tax free, and it ap-
pears that the fears of the German
government are largely illusory. There
is not enough money in Germany to
paw the cost of emigration on the scale
reported. and there are not enough Ger
mans outside of Germany to aid great
lv in such an exodus. Sun.

DEToURs,
Plans About Them by the Vermont
Highway Department.

In constructing highways under
present conditions, occasions arise
where traffic has to be diverted over
detours, and while detours are often
Objectionable, they are a necessary
evil. BY properly marking detour
and maintaining ii by the patrol sys-
TEN. the inconvenience TO travel can
be greatly reduced, and with this idea
in mind the Vermont state highway de-
partment has adopted standard sys-
tenn of marking detours, both by day
and by night, on the main lines OF
travel
When road is closed or a bridge Is
up, large white sign with black let
tering is erected at both ends OF the
closed road at the point where the de-
tour begins. These signs are provided
with red flag to attract attention
during the day, and red and white
lights at night. They also give infor-
nation as to the length of the detours,
and the names of the towns beyond
the closed road. Travel is directed
over the detour during the day time
DIV standard Dldtk dfibWr oi ySiiSN
background, and at night by green
light. These arrows are placed at all
road intersections along the detour.
In order that the travelling public
may know conditions, the detour signs
will be erected only when the road Is
closed. Where the road is not closed,
the state highway department has
adopted a yellow sign, which reads
state Road Observation-Disclosures
but Unsafe"
The department is making an effort
to minimize the unpleasant features
incident to highway improvement, and
desires the cooperation of the public
in protecting all signs and lanterns
used in this work.
The detour around the Rutland fed
eral aid project has already been
marked with the new system, and IN
the near future, the South Burlington
and vergennes detours will be desig-
mated by the standard signs.
