NEW JERSEY OFFER IS DEAD
Cicr.cil Not Inclined to Grant Franchise to
Electrio Light Concern.
TERMS TOO VAGUE AND INDEFINITE
tllr Authorities Prefer to Stmasjle

Action on the proportion of the Electrical
Development and Securities company of
New Jersey for An electric light, heat and
power franchise will probably be taken
by the council next week and from ex
pressions of members of the body the
Droooial seems to stand no chance for
being accepted. City officers who have
talked about the matter cay they can see
nothing- of particular advantage to the ctty
In granting the franchise, unless possible
competition for commercial service If the
new plant la built and pot In operation.
The fact that a p4Tprtu.nl grant Is de
sired, for whlrh It Is proposed to pay only
$10,000, Is one reason why tho offer Is looked
upon with disfavor and another Is that to
get are lighting for Ifi5 a lamp a monopoly
on alt tho street lighting, with a minimum
of 1,24ft lamp;!, Is demanded. Promises for
cheaper commercial light and power serv
ice are declared vague and uncertain.
Searljr Heady (or Rest.
At the council committee mooting last
Monday the proposition came very close to
being placed on file, but this action was not
token because only four or five of tho
council were present Acting Mayor Zlm
man and the others throught It would be
unfair to try to dispone of the matter with
out a larger attendance. So far as can be
learned, no particular efforts are being
made by the Eloctrlcal Development and
Securities company to work the deal
through, and If it has a local representa
tive on the ground that Individual has not
made his presence known.
City Engineer Rosewater advocates call
ing for bids immediately, specifications to
be drawn dcscriIng Just what the city
wants, the contracts to be let to whatever
responsible company or corporation, singu
lar or plural, offers the best terms, not only
for street lighting, but for commercial
service as well. He calls attention to tho
fact that the latter really means much more
to tho peoplo of the city than the street
lighting.
Zlmmnn on Corporations.
"I believe the same as Mayor McClcIlan
of New York regarding franchised cor
porations," says Acting Mayor Zlmman.
"That In, that as long as a public utility
corporation gives good service at reason-
. .ic mm . . t u i a .iic OI1U (IIS
officers decently In all respects, it should
be allowed to conduct its business. Just
as soon as the public utility corporation
becomes obnoxious and seeks to exact un
fair toll, then its property should be
promptly condemned and operated by the
municipal government.
"In the matter of advertising for bids
for now, street lighting contracts many
difficulties will be found in making the
specifications and In securing bids on an
equal busts. I think the mayor and coun
cil have the right to regulate the charges
of all public utility corporations, so long
as it. is not unreasonable, and that we can
get terms that will bo perfectly satisfac
tory to ell intelligent citizens by simply
laying down a Hut that so much will
be paid and no more. Ir, after trying this
and failure result, then let us attempt
municipal ownership."

thj hidden mysteries of freight bills. Mr.
Eggleston was completely taken off his
feet when the stranger accosted him and
told him he would be glad to show him
around the town. Just to be doing some
thing. Mr. Eggleston now realizes there
was something doing. In Eggleston's case
it was the same old story in the same old
way. He had 18.50, while the stranger had
a freight bill and a tale of woe. By some
hocus pocus operandi the men exchanged
their wares. Eggleston says he( received
the worst of it. He told the police all
about it and then the police told him all
about It. He says he will be careful next

BABY ABANDONED BY PARENTS
Authorities Investigate Case Reported
by Mrs. Delmore of 1411
Cass Street.
Police Matron Anderson and Superintend
ent Morris of the Bureau of Associated
Churltles are investigating ' the case of a
2-year-old boy who was left one evening
two weeks ago at the .home of Mrs. Mary
Delmore, 1411 Caps street, by a strange man
and under circumstances that grow more
mysterious the more thqyi,are fathomed.
About 8 o'clock In the eyeahig. two weeks
ago Thursday evening a well dressed man
appeared at the front door of the Delmore
home and was admitted by Mrs, Delmore.
The man bore In his arms the trembling
form of the baby and said he had Just
found It in a nearby hallway, crying. The
child had only a night robe and pair of
stockings on. The evening was very cold
and a heavy fall of snow was on the
ground. Mrs. Del.nore hastened to the fire
to warm the little waif and expected the
man would follow her into the house as
soon as he had removed the snow from his
feet, as he said he would do, but he did not
go further than the hallway, where he
placed the child in Mrs. Delmore's arms.
While warming the child the woman
heard the front door close and the sounds
of carriage wheels leaving the front of the
house. She did not see the man again. She
noted that he appeared nervous and evi
dently was under a mental strain. Mrs.
Delmore kept the little boy, cared for It and
believed the man would return to explain
his sudden call. She made inquiries around
the neighborhood, but could locate no one
who had lost a child. Thursday evening
she brought the matter to the notice of the
police department.
