GAS PLANT PLAN
MAY BE PUT TO
VOTE OF PEOPLE
Council Considers Municipal
Ownership or Granting
of Franchise
GAS HERE BEFORE FALL
Decision Withheld Until All
Promoters and Plans Have
Been Heard

A public meeting for the consider
alton and explanation of gas plant
propositions offered Redwood Falls
probably will be called within the next
two weeks, it was indicated by Mayor
H. D. Thorp this week.
Although a decision in the matter
is being withheld until the council has
heard every available plan and argu-
ment, it is likely that the matter will
eventually be put to vote Of the
public. Gas will be in use here -four
weeks after the vote is taken, if the
decision is favorable, one Of the COM
panies promised.
Several companies desire fran
chise here or would install munich
pally owned plant if the city wished
The council probably will prepare a
plan either for the granting Of a fran
.chise or the installation of a city
owned plant and submit the PROPOSE
ton to the voters.
Would Bond City
A municipality owned plant such as
several council members favor, would
require the bonding Of the city fol-
5000 or $4,000. The bonds as
proposed would be retired from earn
ings of the plant. They would be
paid for and the plant would be earn
';ng dividend for the city in less
than ten years according to estimates
given the council.
The council has met frequently dur
ing recent weeks and has made sew
eral trips to study the plan and the
operation of similar plants. No vote
has been taken but council members
are understood to be divided over the
question of giving a franchise or in
stalling the plant by the city.
Be Central Station
The argument has been raised that
if franchise is granted, profits
which should stay m the city would
go to outside investors. Another
plan suggested is to issue franchise
with clause allowing the city to
buy the plant when it's operation has
proved successful.
One plan, at least, includes having
Redwood Falls as central station to
serve other systems in towns in the
vicinity.

HIGHWAY l4SPAN
IMPROVEMENT NOT
ON 1882 PROGRAM
BabcOck States Department Will
Make Change But Not
This Season
HAS ORDERED SURVEY
Project Asked by Civic Groups
Receiving Favorable
Consideration

A new bridge will be constructed
over the Redwood river on Highway
No. IA on Bridge street but the i'm
provement probably will not be made
this year, C. M. Babcock, commission
er of highways, stated in a letter to
The Gazette Wednesday.
The project has been urged by civic
organizations here as an improvement
necessary in the interest of safety
and has been favorably looked upon
by the department.
The letter states:
eve realize that the existing
bridge over the Redwood river, al.
though structurally safe for highway
traffic, is narrow, and it's location is
such as to necessitate cautious drlv'
ing, particularly because of the SHARP
curve at the east approach. Recent
paving work in the improvement Of
Trunk Highway No. IA Immediately
adjacent to Redwood Falls has espe
cially tended to emphasize the neet
for the replacement of the present
bridge at relatively early date.
"Our department during the pas
year as you perhaps know has pro
jected new alignment for Trunl
Highway No. Ia in contemplation Of
the construction Of new bridgs
across the Redwood river, and oul
field forces recently were requested t.
submit additional information fol
planning purposes. The site tenta
lively considered for our new bridg'
location is close to the dam, and con
struction on this line will involvt
some considerable expense in the, &C
QUESTION Of necessary right of way
According to our present plans it does
not appear that our Department viii
be able to start any actual construc
ton work on new bridge during thu
current year.
eve trust that in the relatively
near future our department may bt
able to remedy this present unsatis
factory bridge situation on Trunl
Highway No. ID at Redwood Falls
In the meantime our maintenance de-
partment will maintain adequate ane
sufficient warning signs at this loca
ton for the protection of the travel
ing public"

UNCLE WIGGHY'S FUNNY
MISTAKE

Uncle Wiggily Was sitting under
the shade of a big maple tree, near
a little wooden stand upon when
was a large pail, pitcher and some
glasses. The rabbit gentleman nae
lust finished printing sign. he
made the sign with a black SUCK
on a piece of white birch bark, and
the sign read:
COLD LEMONADE IN THE SHADE
PENNY A GLASS
"There!" said the rabbit gentle
man when he had fastened the
sign on his stand. Il ought to sell
a lot of lemonade today. 1t is very
hot"
He stirred a long-handled dipper
around in the pail, into which ne
had put water, chunks of ice ana
many yellow lemons, which bobbed
about as if they were floating corks.
Just like chunks Of gold SAID
Uncle Wiggily with a smile as ne
sat in the shade and stirred. Il
think I will call this my golden
lemonade and sell it for a penny a
glass. I shall soon become rich"

FATHER BLOCKS
ROMANCE WITH
HAND OF LAW

A thwarted romance found its
way into the first stages of tragic
ending Yesterday afternoon when
Judge Herman Conger of Imperial
ordered Gilberto Munoz held for
trial by. the superior court on a
charge of contributing to the de-
linquency of a minor, and released
the Mexican to appear in superior
court when summoned
A like charge against Mike Garcia
was dismissed when it appeared
that Garcia was something in the
! nature of best man at a proposed
marriage which was blocked by the
father of the girl.
Both Munoz and the girl yester-
day expressed not only Willingness,
but a strong desire, to get married.
The father, however, was stern in
his refusal. He declared Munoz is
not a character such as he would
wish to marry his daughter. Munoz
gets drunk, he explained.
Although the father is a well
known Imperial police court char
acter, at present being under a sus-
pended sentence for petty theft,
he declared Munoz is not desir-
able husband for his daughter, and
was adamant in refusing to allow
the marriage.
Munoz and the girl were appre-
hended while on their way to
Yuma to get married, and were
caught only because the decrepit
automobile in which they were
making the journey suffered four
flat tires, and there was no spare.

thought of Baby Bunty and the
other little rabbit girls and boys
who had also set up a lemonade
stand farther off in the woods.
"We are far enough apart so we
can both do a good lemonade busi-
ness, 1 think" said Uncle Wiggily,
as he twinkled his pink nose. BIT
I hope I have a customer soon,' he
went on, cor all the ice will melt
and I'll be selling warm golden
lemonade instead of cold golden
lemonade in the shade"
Uncle Wiggily stirred and stirred
and stirred, the chunks of ice tink-
ling against the dipper, the sugar
swirling in a little cloud and the
yellow lemons bobbing like corks.
Then, all of a sudden, the rabbit
gentleman heard some one coming
along the woodland path 1t was
some animal with heavy feet and,
for a moment, Uncle Wiggily
thought it might be the Wolf. But
as he looked carefully around a
corner Of a tree he saw his fat pig
friend, Mr.. Twistytail, waddling to-
ward him.

Cupid Lags But
Has High Mark

Dan Cupid was resting today be-
fore the final squirt which will
prove that June means really Moth
ing to the little fellow in Imperial
Valley, and that July is a much
better month for the marriage
market here.
Marriage licenses issued this
month, check of records yeSter-
day afternoon showed, number 81,
which is only one less than the
total of % issued during June, sup
posedly the month of marriages.
The greatest squirt of activity
came early this month For the
past two weeks Dan Cupid has re-
laxed somewhat, but since he has
only two more licenses required to
pass the June mark, and a whole
week in which to work, it is ex-
pected that July will win easily
over June.

office, show one filed in June, and

KAISER'S RETURN UNLIKELY

| DROBABLE return of the ex-Kaiser to
L Germany, to head new German
| Empire, can most likely be put down
among the things that are not likely to
happen.
The rumor that he was to return,
which was given widespread publicity
throughout the world yesterday, is de-
MED from Berlin. The statement about
the return is said to have emanated from
Nllhelm's fourth son, August Wilhelm,
an enthusiastic supporter of the Hitler
movement.
1t is more than likely that the young
prince grew a bit too enthusiastic in
speech he made Sunday, letting the wish
be father to the thought, and causing it
to appear that what he himself desired
was also desired by large part of the
German people.
Perhaps it is so desired, but nothing
would bring matters to a crisis in Europe
any sooner than the return of the former
emperor. France and England have for
gotten much Of what happened from 1914
to 1918, but the return of Wilhelm would
be to them like waving red flag in front
CT bull. Things would happen, and
they would not be things which Germany
desires.
Germany is having a difficult time of
1t politically, at home and abroad. 1t
will take some time for the nation to
settle down and adjust itself The re-
public may endure indefinitely and it
may collapse at any moment.
A monarchy of some sort may be es-
tablished almost overnight. but it is not
likely to have the former ''all highest" at
its head.
Wilhelm may not know it, his sons may
not know it, and the German monarch
ial party may not know it. but when the
former Kaiser went into Holland in 1918,
it meant the end of his reign in Ger
many.
Reparations may be reduced, war debts
may be scaled downward, but Wilhelm
is definitely in the discard
