Secretary of War Dwight F.
Davis recommendation that a
bride path be included in the plans
for Arlington Memorial Bridge is
approved by Major u. s. Grant. III,
executive officer Of the Arlington
Memorial Bridge Commission, who
will make every effort to have the
bride path incorporates in the
plans.
The only objectica, according to
Major Grant, IL from the stand
point of appearance. The architects
argue that a bride path would mar
the beauty of the structure, but an
attempt will be made to find a
material which would harmonic
with the remainder Of the bridge
surface.
Secretary Davis, in his RECON-.
rnendation, pointed out that a path
across the bridge would connect
with the bride path system OF
Potomac and Rock Greek Parks.

stances, cavalry escorts from Fort
Myer cross one Of the other bridges
and then have to follow paved
streets where traffic Is more or less

With Mains Reconditioned

Can Be Decreased Instead
Of Increasing Them, Says
Committee

the electric light and power depart
ment. The only reason that we are
enjoying the present low rate for cur
rent is that we are holding onto the
old plant. She's money maker. And
so with the gas department. Let's
hang on to it. In time, properly con-
Quoted, with the big leak stopped, as
mentioned by the council committee,
that department will also be a money
maker for the city.
Other Benefits
And with the coming of the big coke
and gas plant, think of the many
other benefits that will accrue to the
city as whole Work for 400 men,
building of new homes with much
employment for the building crafts
men, much money paid out in wages,
much of which will be spent right
here in Hamilton with Hamilton mer-
chants, big increase of the tax dupli-
cate which will bring down the taxes
for ali taxpayers, the opening up of
the whole north end of the city, event
ually the building of the proposed
Third street bridge, affording another
opening to the north of the city, and
many other benefits too numerous to
mention. No end of them

as that quoted by Mr. Mitchell, and
with the necessity for burning more
artificial gas than natural gas to OBJ
tain the same results, that the peo-
pie would have to pay more for arti-
ficial gas than for the natural prod
uct, figuring that it would cost the
consumer SO cents a thousand feet,
or eighteen cents thousand more than
they are now paying.
Nor did the daily paper state that
under the terms of the proposed lease
of the mains to the Columbia Com
pany that the small consumer will pay
Is cents, or five cents thousand feet
more than the present rate. Nor did
the daily paper make special mention
of the fact that another reason given
by the committee for recommending
against an increase in rate is that
the committee feels assured that
after the reconditioning of the mains
that it will be possible to decrease
the rate to the consumer, instead of
increasing it. None of these things,
favorable to the artificial gas contract
do the dailies give out or comment
upon. To the contrary, anything and
everything that would throw a dark
light on artificial gas is hoped on
these days by both papers and en-
blazoned in scarehead type. Why?
Ask the other fellow
Relative Values
Both papers lay great stress on the
relative value of artificial gas and
natural gas to the consumers. Quot
ing the United States Department of
Commerce on B.T.U.'s and units this
and units that until the average per-
son doesn't know whether he is burn
ing gas or climbing trees. That is
just some more lollypop dope to con-
fuse the voters.
However, the report of the council
committee is plain and easily under
stood. In it is pointed out that the
gas mains can be reconditioned, and
with the loss by reason of leakage
stopped, that in a short time the rate
can be reduced so that, even though,
the cost of artificial gas to the con-
sumner should be little higher than
that of natural gas, in a short time
this loss would be made up by reason
of reduced rates, and with the in
debtedness paid off from profits in the
department, through lower direct tax
alton
The important thing is, that we
keep our gas mains and conduct our
own business, for as sure as they
once get out of our control, never will
we get them back again. That's
cinch. And just as sure as we once
get into the control of some outside
corporation, just that sure we are 60
ing to pay higher rates for gas in the
near future.

KNOCKOUT
Scored By Wheeler; Judge
Rules Out Indictment

By International Labor News Service.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler and his
co-defendants were cleared of charges
brought against them in federal in
dictments alleging conspiracy to de-
fraud the government when Justice
Jennings Bailey, of the District of
Columbia supreme court, this week
sustained the defense demurrer of the
Indictment.
The judge held that the indictment
failed to charge violation of the law
and was therefore invalid. He held
that the federal land act does not
limit the number of permits that may
be issued to any one prospector and
that the secretary of the interior can
not make regulations that extend be-
yond the act itself.
The government has the right to
appeal, but as the matter stands
Wheeler has won a smashing victory
against those who attacked him in the
midst of his fight on former Attorney
General Daugherty.

Dailies Twist Report
Immediately upon the report being
given out the daily papers got busy
to garble it and twist it to suit the
purpose, in their Thursday issues
They digressed little in their stock
argument of ENORMOUS leakage as
the main reason for favoring the nat
ural gas contract, to take up the ques-
ton of operating expenses. Repre-
sentatives. of the Two papers must.
have gotten their heads together on
this point as the articles on the ques-
tion appeared to be written by the
same party. The two articles varied
but little
One of the papers, however, said
that council committee recommended
an operating margin of 38 cents on
each one thousand cubic feet of gas.
L llio 10 ilOJ CIut. HS Tlduo
no such recommendation whatsoever
Thecommittee made but one recommen-
dation in it's report and that was "We
do hereby recommend AGAINST any
increase for the following reasons. !"
The committee then gave five differ
ent reasons, as the report on this
page plainly states, and one of them
was THAT it is our opinion that
38-cent operating margin is more than
ample to meet the needs of this de-
partment, AND ALSO TO RECON
DITION THE MAINS"
Council committee did not say that
38-cent operating expense was re-
quired to distribute each one thousand
cubic feet of gas, it simply stated that
this amount could be used for the pur-
pose and together with the so cents
thousand feet to be charged the city
for artificial gas that the present rate
of 70 cents thousand feet could re-
main unchanged, and the reason for
council quoting 38 cents is, that Serv-
ice Director Mitchell said in his rec
ommendation that the rate be increas-
ed to 80 cents, that it requires 40
cents operating expense to distribute
each one thousand feet of gas. The
committee, however, did say that a
38-cent operating expense is more
than ample to meet the needs of the
department, AND ALSO TO RECON-
DITION THE MAINS.
Get that, also recondition the mains.
That means that the city could, under
the same rate existing today, recon-
dition the mains and avoid the great
loss which the city is now suffering
through leakage The daily paper
failed to make note of this clause
in the committees report. But it did
dwell at length on the fact that with

committee being practically the same
