ly to commercial users.
Engineer Paul Elwell, of
Cleveland, Caldwell's consult
ing engineer, asked the council to
adopt these proposals Tuesday
evening. This change in rates will
give the village a rate schedule
that is almost identical to the one
offered by the Ohio Power Co.
last month. The new schedule was
based on the one prevailing in
the city of Cambridge.
After a prolonged session, the
village council recessed until
Wednesday evening when they
will take action on the sale of
fevenue bonds which must be
sold to finance the $125, 100000 i'm
provement. The council agreed to
the recess after Engineer Elwell
tried to block move in which
the First National Bank and an
other bonding company would
submits competitive bids for the
bonds. Engineer ElweIl and Dom
aid Harkins of the First National
Bank were scheduled to meet
Wednesday in an effort to reach
an agreement. Using his usual
high-pressure methods, Engineer
Elwell, valiantly tried to stamp
out any competition in the bidd-
ing for the revenue bonds.
The rates approved by the
council, set forth in the engineers
report are as follows: for the first
30 XVIII the charge will be five
cents per XVIII. For the next 40
XVIII the cost would drop to four
cents per XVIII. The next $50 will
cost two and four-tenths cents
per XVIII. The next two hundred
twenty XVIII will cost the con-
sumner one and five-tenths cents
per XVIII.
Going further, the schedule
states that if approved hot water
heaters of between 80 and 40
gallon capacity are installed, all
electricity over 240 XVIII will be
one cent per XVIII. If the tank
capacity is from so to 74-gallon,
all electricity over $50 XVIII will
cost one cent per XVIII. The mini
mum bill according to the sched-
ule set forth in the report will
be soc.
The council asked the board of
affairs to bill all water con-
sumers, monthly. Under the new
water rate scale, the quarterly
minimum charges of $l.50 would
re retained but the consumer will
get 5000 gallons for that amount
rather than the 1000 allowed in
the past.
The next $4,000 gallons will
cost the consumer 35 cents per
thousand gallons. Consumers who
use from $4,000 to 10000 gallons
during the quarter will pay at
the rate of Is cents per thousand
gallon. From 10000 to $4,000 gal
Ions, the charge will be 20 cents
per thousand gallon. Fifteen
cents will be charged for all
water in excess of $4,000 gallons.

FARMERS:
No OCrOeSuS.

Contrary to supposition among
many citizens, farmers were not
getting rich on ''boom time" prices.
THE NATIONAL Planning asso-
citation found this out when it raised
the question: Should farmers use
profits from record-high farm prices
to buy more indoor plumbing, give
their children better educations, or
take a trip to Europe?-or should
they buy more land and expand
their farms in the hope of making
more money?
The staid, competent Associated
Press sampled farmer opinion on
these questions. Results: Many
farmers denied they had made any
"boom time" profits, claiming tha:
it must have been the western cat
tlemen and wheat growers who
made all the money.
They contended, generally, that
the high price of labor and farm
machinery ate up the profits.

DOPE:
Fewer Addicts

Federal narcotic agents could
take a breather-there were fewer
dope addicts in the United States.
Three experts, writing in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association. declared there are
only $4,000 narcotic addicts in the
nation now, and most of them are
men. These experts declared that
the number, of drug users has
dwindled from between 10000 to
zOS, 1000 in 1914 to about $4,000 at
the last count.
Drug addiction is symptom Of
a basic underlying personality NAL
adjustment, according to the ex-
perts, and victims fall into five
general classes. These are, in the
order of their numerical importance:
THOSE WHO become accidental
ly addicted while taking drugs for
illness: those who take drugs to
relieve psychoneurotic symptoms;
psychopathic persons who learn
through association with other adj
diets: persons with real mental ILL
ness who feel better while taking
drugs. and a minor group with ''be.
havior or character" disorders.

cases of death in .ffice. Five times
a President has taken the oath with
out the usual ceremony for this r!a-
son. President William Henry Har-
rison came into office as hardy
military hero, and, scorning car
riage, rode bare-headed to the Cap
itol on horseback A month later he
died. Vice-President John Tyler was
in Williamsburg and did not reach
Washington until two days after the
appointed date. Tyler took the oath
on April 6, 1841, in Browns hotel in
the presence of members of the
cabinet.
The next emergency installation
took place when Andrew johnson
took the oath in the KirkWood hotel
a few hours after Abraham Lincoln
had died from an assassin's bullet.
The first time that a President was
sworn in away from Washington
since it had become the nations
capital was when Vice-President
Chester Arthur took the oath in his
own home in New York City shortly
after the news came of President
James Garfeld's death at Long
Beach.
When President William McKin-
ley was shot at the Pan-American
exposition, Vice-President Theodore
Roosevelt hurried to Buffalo in time
to take the oath in the home Of Ans
ley Wilcox on the same day the
President expired. And most Of us
are familiar with the scene in the
little Northampton home where by
lamplight father. as the witness
ing notary, took the oath of his
son, and Calvin Coolidge succeed
ed Warren Harding who had passed
away few hours before in a San
Francisco hotel
When Franklin Roosevelt died
at Warm Springs in 1945, Harry
Truman took the oath in the
White House executive wing.
This was ''public'' in the sense
that the door to the little office
was open, and photographers
and newSmen, this one among
them, looked over each others
heads from the crowded cor
ridOrS.

indications were plain that if moth
ing could be worked out with
Chang in the saddle, he might be
endorsed and peace brought to
troubled China by other hapds.
Suns statement, which could be
viewed as peace feeler toward
the Reds, came as the Commu-
nists frightened their squeeze on the
big northern city Of Tientsin.
After his comment about an
honorable peace" Sun added:
'I CAN ASSURE you that we
will not surrender outright +"
Such a surrender. he said, would
mean "scuttling" the anti-Commu-

u. S. DECISION:
AU Settled

If it comes to war with Russia,
where will the United States stand?
Diplomatic irformants had no
doubt as to Ehe answer. Their
opinion was firm and immediate:
The United States is prepared, even
In advance of a formal military
alliance, to coordinate its military
forces in Europe with those of the
western European powers in the
event Of open conflict with Rus
Sia.
IF SHOOTING ever starts, these
officials said, American forces
would come under the general oper-
ational control of the western Eu-
ropean commander, Field Marshal
Viscount Montgomery, of Britain
Montgomery is chairman of the
military staff committee Of the
western European union.
But these sources added that
there is no reason now more than
there ever has been to consider
that war with Russia is close at
hand or unavoidable. In fact, it was
said top officials have great hope
that the building up of real power
in the western world by devices
such as the military arrangement
for western Europe will discourage
the Russians from committing any
overt act.
THE COUNTRIES in the western
European union, Britain, Belgium,
France, the Netherlands and Lux
embourg are negotiating now with
the United States on more perma-
nent military arrangements. Their
embassies are working with U. S.
state department officials to draft
a north Atlantic region security
alliance by which the United States
would be committed to help any
member nations if any OF them
were attacked.

Can't Stay There

Housing remained critical. In De-
troit, four families with a total of
Is children, faced eviction from
living quarters they had set up in
voting booths. The families, all
able to pay rent. were allowed to
use the vacant wooden polling
shacks when they were unable to
find other housing.
An official ordered the children
taken to hospitals or children's
homes. and gave the parents more
time to find quarters.
Arizona sun., 1949-01-07
Some Variations
Took Place

Another circumstance has affect
ed the procedure of the accession to
office. Because of the variability of
the calendar, March fourth has four
times fallen on Sunday. Until Wood
row Wilson took the oath en- Sun
day, March 4, 1917. in the Presi-
dents room in the Capitol, no Presi-
dent had ventured to keep the law
and violate the Sabbath.
President Monroe on succeeding
himself had announced simply that
he would take the oath on Monday,
March S. In 1849. the same thing
occurred in the case of President
Zachary Taylor. But for some rea-
son, President Rutherford Hayes ac-
tually became President before his
time. He was secretly sworn in on
Saturday, the third. the ceremony
being repeated on the fifth in public.
For some years it has been
considered necessary for an out
going President, if there is one,
to take part in the ceremony.
His presence has been as much
expected in the carriage or au-
tOmObile which carries both
men to the Capitol as the Presi-
dent-Elect. This was not always
SO, and both the Adamses made
it a point to absent themselves,
the former leaving the city be-
fore the ceremony, and the 9th.
er taking horseback ride at
the moment when the guns
doomed out the salute to his
bitterly-hated opponent.
Perhaps the inaugural day first
began to take on its present COM
plexion with the advent of Presi-
dent James Madison. People
thronged into the capital and the
first inaugural ball was held. Presi-
dent Monroe. who followed him,
gave us another precedent - the
presence of the marine band But it
was left to Martin Van Buren to
bear a unique honor. He was the
first American-born citizen to hold
that office. Up until his time the
Presidents were all former British
subjects.
Because of thN war and a desire
to emphasize the ''fourth-term" as
little as possible the 1945 Inaugural
ton ceremonies of Franklin D.
Roosevelt took place on the White
House portico instead of on a plat
form on the east front of the Capitol
building which is now accepted as
the usual location.
No outgoing President will ride
with Harry Truman this year, but
one ex-President may attend the
ceremonies. The warm feeling
which exists between the former
small-town boy from Missouri and
the wealthy retired engineer viii
undoubtedly assure Herbert Hoover
q place Of honor II he wishes "a
accent it.
