COOperstOwn Case
Decision Awaited
With Much Interest

Considerable interest attaches to
the question recently raised by
electric current consumers at Coop
erstown Of who shalt pay the cost Of
changing motors and other electric
equipment from direct to alternating
current when the electric franchise
in that city changed from a local to
q nighttime company.
Testimony in the Cooperstown
case was heard several weeks ago
Ny Frank Mlhollan, president Of
the railroad board, who is expected
to present an opinion for considcra.
ton by other board members in the
near future.
The Coopcrstown case rose from
the sale Of the local light plant t.
company operating high line
Tho local plant made tho old.
fashioned direct current whereas
the high tension lines carry alter.
mating current. Changes in the motor
installation and other electrical
equipment Of Coopcrstown user.
were made necessary by the shift.
Since the big power companies are
rapidly taking over the small town
units the question is expected Il
arise often and the decision in thu
Cooperstown case probably will set
a precedent.

Grand Forks has the lowest infant

Association. according to information

Figure Not Correct
This startling figure. State Health
Director A. IA. Whittcmorc said. is

Under the present reporting xys.
tenn. he said, all infant deaths arc
reported while many births are not
The result is that the proportion ot
recorded deaths to those Of recorded
births is unusually high and places
Minot in a bad light without just
cause.
State Statistics Affected
In addition to giving Minot bad
reputation unfairly, DR.. Whittemore
said, failure of that city to report
properly reacts in some measure on
state statistics and causes them tn
show an infant death rate higher
than the facts probably justify.
Still another factor, DIR. White
more said. is that Minot has a large
transient population, and births oc-
cur there which are not recorded be

lie has appealed to the physicians
! of Minot to report births promptly
in order to protect the fair name Of
their city from health standpoint
The infant mortality rate for the

Protests against proposed increases
in rates on classified freight as
suggested by the Western CLASH
fvcation committee have been filed

road board, Fargo Commercial Club
Grand Forks Commercial Club, The
North Dakota Fair Freight Rate
Association and numerous organiza-
tions Of business men throughout

board offices show. 80
In a joint letter dispatched TO r.
c. Fyfe. chairman of the classifi-
cation committee, Chicago, special
objection is made to proposed i'm
crcascs on furniture, mattresses, gas
and oil burners for household use
and molasses and syrups.
Commenting on the proposed rate
increase on furniture the North Da-
kotans say: 1--WE feel that furniture
is now paying more than its share
Of the transportation cost and that
the minimum Of 10000 pounds for
36-foot car at the third class
rate is ample, especially in view oil
the fact thats unless the furniture
is knocked down il is almost I'M
possible to get $4,000 pounds Of fur.
niture in "A 36-foOt car. The usual
weight is not more than seven oil
eight thousand pounds. If the elias.
sification is to be increased IL
second class the minimum weight
should be reduced TO 10000 pounds
There seems to be no good reason
for attempting to increase the rate
on music cabinets and buffcts ~
sdcboards in less than carload lots
These are heavy compact articles on
which the first class rate is high
enough"
The North Dakotans signing the
letter asked that Tyfe present it to
his committee at a meeting SEIZED
uled' for Chicago on July 20.
