WALKER DEFENDS
THE CITY COUNCIL
ALDERMAN DEFINES STAND IN
LIGHT CONTRACT MATTER.
Challenges Mayor Jones on Monopoly
Question, and Cites Figures Repre
senting that Minneapolis Gets Better
Incandescent Service Thru Patterson
Company, for Money, Than Other
Cities. Regarding the discussion of the city
Incandescent gas light contracts,
aroused by the action of the city coun
cil in the Patterson case and the stand
taken by Mayor David P. Jones, Alder
Ban Piatt B. Walker today made the
following statement to The Jour
nal:
There has been so much said and printed re
lating to the awaullng of the contract for in
candescent gas lighting by the citv council, all
calculated to confuse and mislead the public,
as well as doing an injustice to the members
of the council, that I desire to state briefly
ome facts, all of which I am prepared to sub
stantiate to any fair minded person.
The contracts for lighting the city, approved
by the council and now held up by the mayor,
pro\lded foi a reduction of over 10 per cent
in the cost of Incandescent gas lighting, and
approximately a 6 per cent saving in the ex
pense of electric lighting, comparing both with
the 1905 contract, approved and voted for by
Mayor Jones, who was then president of the
council In awarding the contract for the
year 1906, the Minneapolis Gns company was
allowed 95 cents a thousand feet, which was
the same price the cltv has been paying for
gas for a number of ears If any criticism Is
due the council, it is on account of not having
Insisted upon arbitrating the price of gas which
they are empowered to do by the terms of the
gas franchise.
Monopoly in Control.
Both our supply of electric lights and gas is
controlled by a monopoly In securing com
petitlve bids, therefore, the only competition
was for the Privilege of fontracting to provide
Incandescent light ng service for the city After
the most careful investigation four of the
five members of the gas committee were thoro
ly satisfied that governors were absolutely es
sential to provide a steady, reliable and effi
clent incandescent gas light
The records in the city controller's office
show that the governor has saved the city
over $2,000 In the amount of gas consumed
during 1905. compared with the previous year
Mr Roberts, the gas inspector, officially de
clares that governors provide an immensely
better light than lamps that are not equipped
with such a device He is prepared to prove
by actual demonstration in his laboratory that
such is the case
Four proposals for furnishing Incandescent
lighting weie received, two of which were higher
than the prices paid for this service during the
year 1905 The American Street Lamp &
Supplv company bid $11 75 a lamp, without
governors, and $12 75 with governors The Pat
terson company which had previously equipped
over one half of its lamps with governors as
the only means of providing the city with the
service which the council and the public de
manded, bid $12 25 a lamp, with governors,
Patterson Gets Contract.
Entirely on the merits of the l'ghts guaran
teed the city with governors, the contract was
awarded to the Patterson companv, it being the
lowest bidder specifying governors From the
most authentic official information obtainable
the council gas committee was convinced that
the prices it recommended weie lower than
any contract price made bv anv other city in
the United States that either did or did not
use governors.
There was submitted by the American Street
Lamp & Supply company a supplementary propo
sition, offering to sell the city the lamp
heads and Incandescent burners for 97 50 each,
or to turn over this equipment at the expira
tion of one year at the same price, provided
that company was awarded the contract for
lighting the citv during the year 1906 The
city attorney ruled that by the limitations of
our charter, which prevented the council entei0
ing into more than a 'one-year contract, the
option given the city to buy was not binding
nor legal, nor could the city compel the en
forcement of written or verbal promises as to
what contracting parties would do in the fu
ture
Mayor Jones has utilized some of the prom
ises made by the American Stieet Lamp &
Supply company's representative after their
proposition had been rejected to endeavor to
demonstrate the large saving to the city had
that company been awarded the contract.
After the council had ratified the recommenda
tions of the gas committee Mayor Jones raised
the legal point that contracts for lighting could
not be awarded by motion, and refused to exe
cute the contract This was a legal point in
volving the construction of the charter which
had not been passed upon bv the courts, and the
Patterson company agreed to enter into a friend
ly suit to get a decision on this important mat
ter As a precedent for all time it Is impor
tant to have definitely determined both the pow
ers of the council and the powers of the mayor.
Lights Left Burning.
The lighting company brought mandamus pro
ceedings and the district court determined that
the contention of the mayor was correct The
Patterson company then appealed to the supreme
court, which appeal will be argued at the next
term. The decision of Judge Brown left the*
city without anv contracts for lighting in exist
ence and no companv was authorized to light
the streets of the city until 6ome action was
taken by the council
The three lighting companies have continued
their services altho well aware that in so doing
they were taking grave chances of not getting
their pay. At the last meeting in January a
resolution was adopted by the council instruct
ing all three companies to continue their services
from day to dav pending a decision in the su
preme comt This resolution was passed bv a
vote of twenty aves and four nays. The resolu
tion provided:
TirstThe three companies should perform
their services from day to day. to be paid for
on a basis of the bids previously accepted by
the council for doing the work for the year
1900.
SecondThat these services should continue
until further ordered by the council
ThirdThat the arrangement should absolutely
terminate not to exceed ten days after filing of
the supreme court's decision
These various provisions were put in to guard
against the possibility that the Patterson com
panv might not perfect and argue at the earliest
possible moment its appeal, as well as to insure
that the passing of the resolution did not amount
to actually awarding a contract, as the mayor's
representative in the council contended.
Resolution Vetoed.
This resolution the mavor vetoed, giving as his
only reason the alleged excessive price1
awarded
the Patterson comoany also incorporated
in his veto message to the council the same
appeal he has on every previous occasion made,
that an award of the contracts to the Minne
apolis Gas company and the General Electric
company should be made in such a manner that
he, the mayor, could guarantee the legality of
their contracts
In view of the undisputable fact that the
tirice paid for supplying Incandescent lights by
^contract in Minneapolis is less than any other
city secures similar service by contract, ex
cept St. Paul wheie the nrice is the samt.
and the further undeniable fact that no other
city of aopro\imatelv the same size pays a*
high price as does Mlnneanolis for its gas and
electri.- lighting, the position taken by the mavor
in trying to hold up the contrct for incandescent
lighting and forcing the council to award the
gas and electric monopolies their contract upon
their own terms lb scarcelj in keeping with his
assurance that in his contention with the coun-
Saturday Evening,
tell he is actuated solely by a laudable ambition
to save money for the taxpayer.
Originally Mayor Jones denied any efficiency
for a gas governor. He finally admltB that thU
device does insure a steady and efficient light,
but contends that the governor be provided by
the contractor because he has to-guarantee sixty'
candlepower light. If his honor will examine
th= specifications under which -the Incandescent
gas lighting contract is let he will find that
it provides for insuring only an average of
eKty-candlepower at an average gas pressure
During the lighting hours the gas pressure varies
over 40 per cent.
City Assumes Burden.
It is physically impossible for the gas com
pany to provide an even pressure, owing to the
remarkable variation in the amount of gas con
sumed at different times of the night and day.
In utilizing the services of a contractor to
provide incandescent lighting the city assumes
the burden of providing gas in such manner as
will permit the contractor giving good service.
Mayor Jones bases his assumption that the
contrac* price approved by the council for
supplying incandescent lighting for Minneapolis
is exorbitant by comparing these actual con
tract prices with the alleged and entirely un
certain cost of municipal.ownership and main
tenance of incandescent lighting equipment. In
attempting to prove his contention his honor sub
mitted to the council and the newspapers in
complete and inaccurate figures proporting to
represent the cost of maintaining Incandescent
lights in the cities of Cleveland and Chicago
under municipal ownership.
His authority for stating that $6.16 was the
cost of maintaining an incandescent lamp one
year is based on the statement of a discredited
and discharged official of Cleveland, who, as
it has since been proven was only guessing.
His honor is well aware that these figures he
presents as proporting to represent the entire
cost of maintaining Incandescent lights In
Cleveland does not Include any charges for
interest on an investment of approximately
$100,000, nor is there any provision in this
compilation for the very necessary charge to
cover the deterioration of the equipment.
Further, that the supervision of the incan
descent lighting in Cleveland is paid for out
of the general lighting fund also, he has been
informed that in Cleveland the lamps are taken
care of by boys who receive a compensation of
$18 and $20 a month, as compared with salaries
of $40 and $45 paid by the Minneapolis con
tractor.
Carries Other Items.
The mayor has been Informed, too, that the
lighting specifications of Minneapolis Include
many items not charged up to the incandescent
service at Cleveland, such as thawing out frozen
pipes, replacing lamp-posts, painting them once
a year, providing street signs at all Intersec
tions, besides being subject to a penalty for
all lights not found burning.
A fair analysis of a sworn detailed state
ment of the expenses of lighting the city of
Cleveland, taken from the city auditor's books,
shows that the actual cost under municipal
ownership of maintaining incandescent lights
was over $9. This figure does not include any
of the original cost of the equipment, nor for
the expense of installing new lamps. Adding
to this a reasonable charge of $1 a lamp for
fee
tk
b(md 8 an
mus
fl
,.f, f rt. hrin.f era i th. depreciation of the equipment, brings
the cost of Cleveland's Incandescent lighting
up to $10
For special services required from Minneapo
lis contractor and not considered in the Cleve
land cost would amount to at least an addi
tional 75 cents a lamp. A total of these items
amounts to $10.75. Deduct this sum from the
contract price of $12.25, approved by the coun
cil, and which Mayor Jones declares is ex
orbitant, will produce a doubtful profit of $1 50
a lamp as the proceeds from the city engaging
in suppljing its own incandescent lighting. This,
however, is contingent upon Minneapolis being
prepared to Insist upon starvation wages.
He Cites Figures.
I submit herewith some figures of the cost
of gas, electricity and incandescent lighting at
various cities where this service is performed
by contract. This data is taken from Brown's
Directory of Lighting, recognised as authentic
and official everywhere. From a study of the
facts and figures, it would appear that the
mayor in his endeavor to enforce economy has
selected the least vulnerable department charged
with the duty of lighting this city. The fig
ures speak for themselves, and wiU bear close
scrutiny.

If his honor. Mayor Jones, Is conscientious iu
his endeavors to save the city money, I would
respectfully ask him to refrain from showing
any further favoritism by trying to foroe the
council to bind themselves to pay the high
price for gas and electricity, at the same time
effecting a very small saving in the cost of in
candescent lighting. Should the contention of
the mayor be upheld by the supreme court, I
as well as numerous other members of the city
council deplre to be in a position to reopen the
entire lighting problem.
If it Is possible to effect a saving in the cost
of supplying incandescent lights to the city,
why not also make at least an attempt to force
the gas and electric monopolies to give this city
at least as reasonable a price as the same or
similar corporations are now charging other
cities?
If my defense of the council's position, as
stated above, constitutes me in the language of
the mayor, "a special pleader for -the Patter
son company," Is not his honor, by his repeated
and insistent appeals to awardx

DR. F. F. WESBROOK LECTURES
AT ADAMS SCHOOL ON FIGHT-
ING "WHITE PLAGUE."
SAYS CHINA WILL
BUTCHER REBELS
Chinese Minister Declares For
eigners Are in No Danger
in China.
Washington, Feb. 17."There is no
danger whatever of an uprising in
China against foreigners," said Sir
Chentung Liang-Cheng, the Chinese
minister, today.
It is true, of course, that there
is political agitation in China, but
its object is to create such excitement
as to cause international complications
with the view of crippling, if not
wholly destroying, the present dynasty.
My government is amply prepared to
meet any emergency. I do not mean
that China is threatened with a revo
lution, but that a small party of dis
contents is striving desperately to
start a revolution. But the movement
would not be strong or dangerous.
"My government is keeping me
minutely informed. If, as a result of
the agitation now going on, a worthy
foreigner is harmed, the emperor's sol
diers will pounce upon the community
that harbors the miscreants and lay
it waste, should they be unable to find
every one of the scoundrels responsible,
directly or indirectly, for the trouble.
Sickening Slaughter.
"The slaughter will be sickening if
the government is driven to reprisals.
Yuan Shi Ki, the great viceroy of
Chi-li, set the example for this sort
of rigid work in the Boxer uprising of
1900. The slaughter of the Chinese by
the emperor's" soldiers will be more
horrible than that of Yuan's soldiers
six years ago if the miscreants now at
work to involve China in foreign trou
ble do not desist.
"Millions of dollars have been ex
rjended by the central government in
the last six years in bringing the army
up to a proper condition of efficiency.
China does not want to go to war. We
are a peaceable people. War is hate
ful, awful, horriblehell."
Chance of Foreign War.
"Is there a likelihood of a foreign
warf
"None so long as the outside world
lets China manage her own affairs."
"Is it a fact that Germany or Ger
mans are mainly responsble for a large
part of the threatening trouble in Chi
na at present?"
"The Germans are aggressive,' he
replied. "Since the dawn of your civ
ilization^ the Germans have been the
disturbers of the peace and repose of
other peoples and nations within what
is now the Christian domain. They
seem always discontented with what
they have. Their energy appears to
demand the whole world in which they
bustle. I do not say that they are re
sponsible in any sense for what is going
on behind the scenes in China. I mere
ly tell you that I have heard that
stated in well-informed and responsible
quarters.
Sir Liang's Flea.
I am keeping my government in
formed of all I know ana all I hear. I
have pleaded with the authorities at
Peking to be careful to see to it that
foreigners of all classes are treated un
usually well in China, while this agita
tion lasts. I have learned that my ad
vice is being followed all over China.
The Chinese have adopted a new in
ternational policy. There will be no
more concessions to foreigners. The

tric monopolies their contract on a non-competi

lies'' Piatt B. Walker.
Dr. F. F. WesbTook of the University
of Minnesota spoke last evening on
"-Tuberculosis and Its Relation to the
Public Health" as the second number
in the Adams school lecture course.
President Robert Pratt of the board of
education was introduced as the chair
man of the evening by Mae Wethall,
secretary of the A room lecture com
mittee. The program began with a
vocal solo by Rosetta Monahan, a tal
ented alumna of the school.
When Dr. Wesbrook was introduced
he requested that if, in discussing the
subject, he fell into the technical terms
he used with kis medical class, some one
should remind him to speak in Eng
lish. He gave some statistics on the
ravages of the "white plague" and
spoke of the aid that was being given
by the clergy, newspapers and schools
in spreading what methods were known
of combating it.
He cautioned against all medicines
purporting to be cures saying that no
"sure cure" had yet been discovered,
and that fresh air, rest and food were
the best remedies. He thought that
learning to live healthfully in one's sur
roundings would bring more practical
results than traveling to overcome the
disease.
Dr. "Wesbrook gave some time to ex
plaining the ways in which the infec
tion was carried, showed the wisdom of
certain City ordinances, and urged all
who understand the ways of infection
and prevention of the disease to work
against it by using care and observing
the laws. He did not doubt that some
day Minneapolis would "wake up
andimportant
build a sanatorium,'' and believed that
with a widespread use of even the lim
ited remedies and preventions How
known, a case of tuberculosis would be
come as rare within two generations as
a case of leprosy is now.
In explaining the fresh-air cure, Dr.
Wesbrook incidentally criticized the
ventilation of the school hall and of
the building he taught in at the "TJ."
At the close of the lecture Director
W. rL Hicks said before Dr. Wesbrook
left the platform he wished to make
and explanation. His explanation
of the ventilating was that the fan
which forced 2,000 cubic feet of fresh
air a minute into every room in the
building during school hours was notblock,
running that night. Dr. Wesbrook re
plied that at that rate, the fifty chil
dren in each room were well provided
for if the parents were not.
ranting of concessions to foreigners
been a too-fruitful source of trou
ble to be continued. And so we shall
attend to our own affairs in future, and
we hope the outside worldthe Chris
tian worldwill permit us to do this.
When I reflect that all of Christendom
is an armed camp, I am convinced that
we are more peacablv and neighborly
inclined thar is the Christian world. I
suspect that statistics would show that
there are today more men in uniform and
with deadly weapons in their hands
than at any other period in the world's
history. Even China is armed to pro
toet itself.
"Why i3 the government of the
United States strengthening its mili
tary forces in the orient?'" was sug
gested.
"That is something I do not under
stand," replied the minister.
What Missionaries Say.
New York, Feb. 17.The following
cablegram from China was received to
day by the Presbyterian board of for

"'Missionaries not in peril everything

This message came from the mission

yesterday for information as to wheth
