Chapel Hill Chaf

A mason is working at my
house. He is building some
steps to replace those OF wood
that were attacked and partly
devoured by termites. The tap
ping of his trowel against the
bricks comes to me through two
intervening doors, and | leave
my typewriter again and again
to go and look at him.
This is a phase of a disease
which t have had had fer feeff as as long as

The word is formed from two
Greek words, ergOn, work, and
phobia, fear, and means the
morbid fear or hatred of work.
A person who has the disease is
an ergophobe.
In recent number of the
SATURDAY Evening Post was an
article, "Ergophobia," by the ac-
complished short story writer,
William Hazlett Upson. 1t is
one of the best articles | ever
read. Naturally ! think so, be-
cause it fits my own case so per-
fectly. A man always likes any
piece Of literature in which he
finds himself and his emotions
precisely described.

Last Highway Bond
to be Paid in 1913

The total amount of bonds out
standing against the trunk highway
fund at the end of 1882 is $42,838, 726,
according to a statement by Commits
sioner C. M. Babcock. Of these $751;
83S,762 are county reimbursement
bonds and $29,OO0,OOO state bonds
issued under the refunding act OF
1929 and the bond act of 1881.
The last of the bonds will be paid
IN 1913, Mr.. Babcock said. The bonds
are serial bonds, so that it is not
necessary to set aside sinking fund
to meet the payments. Payments OF
interest and principal will average
S3,677,59O per year, and maturltles
are evenly distributed, so payments
Will work no hardship on trunk high
way budgets, and there IS no danger
that they will ever require a general
tax levy.

he was scheduled to speak.
The political gathering was open
ed by DR.. Brand, who said, "There
are many pros and cons to the light
and power discussion and a right and
fair way and a wrong and unfair
side to every question so we have in
vited these three mayors here to iron
out some of the discussions.
Following his introduction by DIR.
Brand, Mayor Flor said, Thirty
five years ago we had a private plant
in our city but some of our pioneers
had foresight enough to look into the
future, see the bright prospects of
electricity which was then in it's in
fancy and purchase the plant for
the city. The plant has been increas-
ing in CAPACITY ever since and eight
years ago, a new $250,00O plant
was built and now our bonded in
debtedness is wiped out. we have
$4,000 on hand and have transfer
red $4,000 to other funds besides
erecting a mile long white way and
installing other street lights"
'In 1925" Mr.. Flor continued, ''our
light plant cleared $4,000 for our
city, in 1929, the same plant made a
profit of $4,000 and for 1882, s4O,-
600 will be profit. Out of this money,
we have erected two new concrete
stacks, a reservoir and power house"
He also lauded the central heating
plant which is in use in New Ulm.
We are proud of our municipal
light plant though it is SMALL" May
or Patterson of Springfield who was
the second speaker on the program,
stated, "and we wouldn't trade it for
any other plant in the world"
The plant was started some so
years ago, he stated, and has develop
ed to where it will take care of the
city's expenses in three more years.
He referred to few Redwood
Falls light bills which had been hand
ed him and reported that on one 134
kilowatts had been used for a cost of
$11.53. He stated that the same
amount of electricity used in Spring
field would have cost the user $50.
Referring to another bill with So Kill
owatts used which cost the user $4.23
in Redwood Falls, he said the same
amount could be used there for 1914.
The profit on the Springfield plant
for 1882 will be $2O,437, he said and
a new power house costing $25,952
was paid for out of the fund. Mr..
Patterson stated that Springfield has
an outstanding Indebtedness of $751;
900 and it has $4,000 cash on hand.
Most of the money paid for the paw
ing there came out of the light fund,
he stated.
