Present Conditions In Pennington
Far From Depressing or Discouraging

very substantial profit. That city is
at absolutely no expense for coal,
which is a very heavy expense in the
local plant, amounting TO something
like $1,000 month, or $4,000 per
year. Neither is the West Plains
plant at any expense for engineers, Of
which the local plant must have two.
for day and night. There are also
number of other minor savings made
in the West Plains plant that is inn
possible with the local plant. In view
of such considerations it is not diff
ficult to see how that plant has been
able to lay aside considerable profit
during the past year, While that
plant is charging 5 cents less per k.
W. than is the local plant, they are al
so charging so cents per 1000 gallons
for water, which Pennington is fur
nishing at 25 cents per 1000 gallons.
Pennington is compelled to get
along as best she can with her present
equipment, at least until some pro-
vision can be made to improve such
equipment. If this were not the case,
it would not be difficult matter at
this time to see that it was mistake
in locating the light and water plant
n it's present location. It would have
been infinitely better to have located
it down town, near the railway track,
not only in the reduced price of ham
ding coal, but also for the reason that
less power would there be required.
But the plant is a good one, and the
idea of moving it is out of the ques-
tion. Both the plant and its present
equipment is good, and in splendid
condition. The present trouble is that
the needs of the city of light, water
and power have outgrown its capacity,
and in order to take care of the pres
ent business, as well as to accept new
business for which there is great
demand, the present plant must be
enlarged.
AS to the manner in which the plant
is being managed at present, The
Times can find no criticism, Nor does
it believe that any just criticism can
be made to the manner in which it is
now beng conducted. A representa-
tive of the Chicago, Wilmington and
Franklin Coal Co. was here Sunday,
and in talking on this subject, he
stated that there was but one other
small plant in this state that is bet
ter equipped than is the Pennington
plant; that most of them are sadly in
debt, and that he was surprised that
the local plant is in as good condition
as it is, after having passed through
the soaring prices of the war period.
And this task has been accomplished
with but slight raises in rates for
light, water and power.

A Valuable
Suggestion

E. N. Farris, head of the Develop
ment Service Bureau of the st. Louis
Chamber of Commerce, sends to the
Pennington Chamber of Commerce a
letter sounding a needed warning
against method of grating" that
has long been in use throughout the
country. If the local Chamber will
act on the suggestions therein given,
they will perform a real service to
many in this community who have
long been victims of human leeches.
The letter follows:
Thousands OF dollars are annually
contributed by the people of this state
to uncredited solicitors purporting to
represent meritorious institutions and
to impostors who keep everything they
collect.
Is your organization doing anything
to protect the citizens of your com
munity. The enclosed booklet will be
of service to you. It furnishes list
of the charitable and philanthropic or
ganizatious of st. Louis, having the
endorsement Of the Charities Com
mittee Of the st. Louis Chamber of
Commerce. This Organization is
member Of the National Information
Bureau of New York City and,
through its membership, receives re-
ports on all national and International
charity and relief agencies that send
solicitors throughout the country to
raise money.
II believe itlwould be a good piece
of. business on the part of your or
ganization to arrange to have an ex-
animation made of the credentials of
every solicitor for any institution vis-
iting your town and if solicitor is
unable to furnish credentials, to re-
fuse him permission to solicit until
you have time to make inquiry about
the solicitor himself and the institu-
tion he represents.

Close Call to
Tragic Death

While having his household goods
moved from the western to the east
ern part of town Wednesday morning
about IL o'clock, VIM. v. Reece suf-
fered an unusual accident that cama
near ending his life. He was riding
on the sideboards, with his legs out
side the bed, holding some breakable
articles, apparently riding on a bal
ance. On reaching the block adjoin-
ing the square he apparently lost his
balance, caused by inundations in the
street, and fell. striking the road sur
face with the side of his head.
For some time it was feared that
his neck was broken. He was carried
into DR.. Robinson's office, where skill
full attention was given him. He was
later removed to his home, but did not
regain consciousness till twelve hours
afterwards. The injured man is now
apparently on the road to recovery,
his mind is clearing, and family and
friends are hopeful that recovery
from his disastrous fall will be COM
plete.

Telephone System \
Being Improved

A new switch board for the Farm
ington branch of the Lead Belt Tele-
phone Co. arrived the last of the week,
and has been installed in the new
quarters soon to be occupied by central
offices. The new quarters are now in
splendid condition, and will be an i'm
provement over the present quarters,
insofar as the public and patrons are
concerned.
When the new switch board is
brought into use, it is generally be-
lieved that practically all the reason
for complaint and trouble among the
supporters of the system will be re-
moved. Since the installation of the
switch now in use complaints Of poor
service have been incessant, and it is
the opinion of those who should know
that the trouble has been in the switch
board, which had seen a number of
years service before it was installed
here. 1t is hoped and believed that ev-
erything will be satisfactory and se-
rene with the beginning Of service ov-
er the new board, which will be soon.

The article from "Farmingtonian,' =
in last weeks Times, has been the
subject of more or less discussion, in
cluding some criticism as well as
commendation. But to those who are
best informed in regard to the pres
ent and past history Of the city gov
ernment, that article does not appear
to be particularly strong. In fact
The Times management so regarded
it when it was offered for publication.
But, to keep in line with our policy
of printing anything apparently writ
ten and submitted in good faith, by
any good citizen of Pennington or
vicinity, in regard to any question or
matter of general Importance, it was
readily given space in our columns.
Our first idea on reading that arti-
Gle was that but one question of real
Importance had been touched on, that
being regarding the need of a railway
switch to the city power house for the
proper and economical handling Of
coal. This is still our opinion. The
need for a railway switch to the pow
er house is just as great now as it ev-
er was, and frequent discussions of
the matter within the past few years
has failed to bring the matter any
nearer a solution than it was origi-
nally. 1t is the opinion of those in
positions to know, that move in that
direction will result in litigation
possibly prolonged litigation and
those control of the city's affairs
have never yet cared to throw the
city into such litigation, the final re-
suits of which would necessarily be
more or less problematical.
Reference was also made by "Farm-
ingtonian" to the splendid showing
made during 1920 of the light and
power plant at West Plains, as pub
lished in the metropolitan press, and
which statement was recently pub
lished in The Times. Soon after the
of that statement tho Sec
retary of the Pennington Chamber of
Commerce wrote the authorities of
West Plains in the hope of securing
further information as to the plans
that were being carried out there,
which could produce such creditable
showing. The reply shows that there
are number of things in connection
with the plant at that place that does
not enter into the local situation, so
that no such comparison can be made
In the first place the power for the
West Plains plant is purchased from
a water power company at the rate of
cents per kilowat. This power is
sold to customers there at prices
ranging from cents to 10 cents per
kilowat, which anyone can see is a
