If that is to be taken as a criteria ! ! of what the result would be in case the city was to own and operate an electric light plant we better vote on April ( > th for granting an electric light franchise to a cor poration. The announcement of the can didacy of A. J. Van Antwerp for county surveyor is published in this issue. Van Antwerp.lias ; been deputy surveyor for three years and has had a lot of valua ble experience which would be an asset to vim if he is elected sur veyor. No one can fully estimate the value of such letters as have lately been received at this office. Words of commendation are words of encouragement , and are dear to the heart of the editor and publisher ; but not more dear than kindly , whole-hearted cirti- cism. The faults of the Kin-un- T.ICAN , pointed out to the editor by a thoroughly interested sub- scrbar , will be for its improve iiK-nt acd your benttit. V/e re- Mi what a vaiu hopo' it would be , to o.pcect to plcube every1 , subscriber all the time ; jet we do hope to please them most of the titue. It is our highest ambition , to serve them well. Our country arid town are making rapid strides , all along the line , in the path of proceeds and we feel we must keep pace , if we would fulfil our mission , as a representative town and county paper. VOII : TDK fill : rilANCIIISP. The city council in submitting the cleclral franchise to a vote of the people has ahown a dis position to regard the wishes of the people an heitig of first im portance in any mailer which af fects Hit' people so vitally as the granting of a franchise does. The { ranting of the Iranchibe will mean that the council has taken action which will affect the city not only to-day but for yearn to com- : . ' 1 he franchise which the council has drawn up malcta it imposible for the com pany receiving it to put in any thing hut the most up-to-date plant and one which will gtow as the city grows and furnish the power for all its demands. The franchise is an excellent one and the only thing for the people to determine is whether they want clectiic lights and -want them to be furnished by a cot- poralion. Considering the condition ol the 'city's franchises and the further fact that the chances arc good for the school district lo be bonded to the limit , it i appcarant that it would be in advisable at this time to vle bonds for the putting in of at electric plant. The $7,500.01 which has been collected as an electric light fund has been used by the council for other purposes and that amount would have to be raised from some other source before it could be used to install a plant.
