ANOTHER'S VIEWS ON L. & W. QUESTION YEETEH“AY Editor Evening Telegram: Be- Yesterday was a great day in the revival. The sunrise prayer meet- ing was well attended. Quite a num- ber of earnest souls met for prayer before the king of the day made his appearance in the east, while the dew was still on the grass and the day was new and fresh from the hanq of God they poureq out their petitions to the heavenly Father for His blessing and guidance. A very pleasant and inspiring fea- ture of the day was the arrival, at 11 o'clock of two coach loads of peo- ple from Inverness to attend the meeting. The eavngelists came to Lakeland from Inverness where they haq just held a revival that brought more than ninety souls into the kingdom and of course were pro- foundly grateful to these people for giving such an expression of inter- est in them and their work among us. After an interesting and strong sermon there was one professed faith in Christ and four uniteq with the church. The Inverness people had brought dinner with them so the little grove beside the church soon became a busy place with an old- VoL fashioned scene of dinner on the 'grounds in which many of our home l]wopln took part, having also brought i their dinners to the church so that there coulq be a good fraternal time together. The song service at 2:30 o'clock was good. From 3 to 4 o'clock was an experience meeting filleq from the first to the last min- utes, one feature of which was the singing of the old songs in the old- fashioneq way which carrieq us back to the days of the fathers. At the close was a most touching scene when the congregation shook hands with those mothers and« fathers in Israe] who had passed their 65th year in the journey to the better land. The meeting was moved to the Methodist church for the night ser- vice ang the house was full to over- flowing. The preacher brought hig congregation fact to face with God. There were ten who professed con- version at this meeting, making a total” of 28 to date. The meetings will be continued this week at the Methodist church angq it is hopeq all Christians will unrte in the work. “Come, go with us and we will do thee good.” REPORTER.

I do not see why Lakeland should sell the light and water plant to get improvements, when by enlarging the plant and extending the service, the saving on the production over the present cost would be all the re- duction any consumer could ask for. I once heard a successful business man of Lakelanq make the statement that he would take the light and wa- ter plant at what :t was worth, put in an equipment that was up to date and that would take care of the busi- ness, would reduce the cost to the consumer and at the end of ten years woulg make the city a present of the entire outfit. The above mentioned article states that the citizen must pay ten cents per K. W. for light ang one dol- lar for 4,000 gallons of water, and at tax paying time this same citi- zen must pay his part of $3,620 or be solq out for taxes. T think these to show up in a much different light. Let us say that the consumer has to pay ten cents per K. W. for light anq one dollar for 4,000 gallons of water and that the taxpayer or Mr. (‘itizen is the one that has to pay the $3,6 for which the light ang water plant returns to him every year $9,585 in free water and light, which woulg go a long ways towards retiring the indebtedness. I do not believe in using light and water rentals for extentions, but am in favor of bonding for enough to extend mains anq wires to the city limits and put in a plant that will take care of these extensions. As a taxpayer, I cannot see where I am helping to pay the $3,620 nor can I see where it 1s being invested in public wealth, when the public is receiving nearly three times that ampount in service at no cost what- ever., Let the commissioners and man- ager get facts and figures that are absolutely correct ang put them be- fore the people in a business-like way and I believe that every citizen that is in favor of the very best town wo charges can be separated so as!
