Interest in this question as to whether there shall be opposition or mot to the bill before the legisiature placing municipally owned public utilities under the control of the publie utilities commission of the state hi been con- siderably aroused since the local commis- sioners confronted Mayor Lerou with the question and he agreed to submit it to the people through a special cquneil meeting. Difficulties have been encountered in finding out certain things unomln;‘\e local lighting plant. While the cMfim has been made that the couft of common council possesses the autherity it doesn't appear that it has made use of it or been able to accomplish much under it in the past. Conditions concerning our lizhting plant have been such ‘that the people who own it have not feit they could find out what ‘they believe they are entitled to know about it That feeling has continued for a leng time, and there will be many who will appreciate the epportunity which has Seen afforded by the mayver of learning omething regarding the operations of the fas and electrical departmént. All those who are therefore interested in the plant and who are desirous of its being a suc- cess Will unquestionably be found in at- tendance at tonight's meeting for the purpose of learming what advantages would be gained by having thig as well as other muni¢ipally ewned public utfli- ties placed under the same staté control and supervision as are privately ownad plants, and to let it be known whethey| they believe the legislation shéuid be favored or not. If it is going to be 2 benefit to the city and if we are going to be able to get information about it which eannot be obtained In any other way the oppo- Ht!u‘ to the legislation is net likely teo be endorsed. If there is going to be no adantage oppositien will doubtless be sanctioned.

If it is the state and local authorities wne are shouldering the burden of this work the federal ferces should extend te theim every ficility whether they participate in the work er not.

This legisia- tion is being urged With a view, it weuld seem, to discourage the big trucks or as 2 méans for overcoming the ha¥m which they do to reads and to provide the a ditional fund¢ required eAch year to off- set their damage. Most every state feels thé need of g ting’ larger revenue from the autéme- biles and a different methed of taxing the moter vehiclés has Been suggisted in htig state, in which the big aute trucks are taxed mere heéavily than the others. There doesg’t appear te Be any effort made to depteciate the servied that s y furnish#d by the aute truck. It rendeérsd impertant serviee during ths war in hélp- ing to speed yp transportation and it is still doing much transperiation between as Well as in cities, and the tendency is to increase the number ,of the large trucks. Because of this faet, the damagé which is dene to roads by such héavily leaded vehicles and the axpense which is entailed, it is felt that the increased bur- den of {axation made necessary in order jto put and keen the réads in shape ought te fall upon these whe are taking ad- anfage-of the highways for comfmercial purpeses in a manner unwarranted by the contribution they make in the way of taxation and not intended for such read construction. New York is evidently trying te pre- vent being forced to go into the wark of permanént road building to the extant of being required -to put dewn road: that ‘weuld carry any lead placed upon them. regardless of the cest and repardless of {he fact that it weuld be\eatering te one means of transpertation te the detriment of othérs. Whether it can put thréngh its plan is thersfere being watched with interest hy other gtates, where tha vatue of permanent highways is recognized and. wheére the need for écomomy and in- creased revenue is Net being everieoked.

'‘The ‘speaker and the vice presi- dent sat side by side on the raised piat- form, and a L% below sat Senator Lodge and the other tellers picked for their 4istinguished records and ledged leadership. There Was—plenty of cere- ‘mony and but a mew pace wes| set, in cutting out the ncisy. demonstre- tions that have invariably marked such occasions in the past, which ever party was the victor.

He urgea the usé of American made toys for chil- dren inétsad of these from Germany and Japan, not oniy on the greund of good businéss but dlso from a spivit of patriotism, urging that children would have ism and love of country in- stilled in their minds by such methods. The déll resresémtative stafed that the wages here and abroad was the great reason &' higher protéctive tariff is needed. ‘The Jap doll expert gem 33 cents a day in Japan—the dell expart in New York gets $40 2 week, #aid he—=and that toi® the story n w few wonds. Like Mr. Giert, he urged a higher tamff to pro- tect the industey. The chlef game wardes of the Unit- ed States, shows in his reports that since the anti-spring shooting laws in the United: Statss and Canada became: ef- fedtive, and the MoLean law pretecting Tigratery birds weot into effect, migra- tory game birds and fowl have incras- ¢d to such an extéent that the marshes of the morth and south now hold mil- lons of birds which are ergmies of in- sectS that destroy erops. Chief Warden Lawyer states that the value of game birds to the country cannot-be recitoned frem a standpeint of the reta: value of the birds, but must be esiimated ugon the crop valie saved by them. An -esi- mate made for the year 1318 wshowed that aperoxieetely $2.000,080,000 had been saved in orops alone by the birds and that the amoéunt s growing eacn year.
