DEFENDS THE
LIGHT BILL
IN DOVER
Mr. Crook Says It Is a Busl
ness Like Measure for the
Benefit of the Public
DENIES REGULATIVE POWER
OF S. 6 S. DEPARTMENT
Richard W. Crook, general manager
of the Peoples Railway system in
this city, was asked today to explain
the provisions and tbe purposes of
the electric light bill that was sent
to Dover by tbe company and that
passed both Houses by unanimous
vote. He said :
''The electric lighting business is
not now and never was under the
regulative power of Ihe Street and
Sewer Directors as to prescribing
maximum rales that may be charged
for current or otherwise. Tho Street
and Sewer Department does not haie
and never bad any such powers. It is
not a public uttttty commission, al
though some members of the board
apparently think it is, an.', have al
ways thought the City Board of Pub
lic Utility Commissioners a super
nous municipal agency. The only
thing the Street and Sower Directors
can do is to Impose conditions In the
granting of new franchises. So far
Ss concerns any limit v.pon the rale
that may he charged for current
which has been fixed by any franchise
heretofore granted by the Street and
Sewer Department to the existing
lighting company. It is inconceivable
that anybody engaged in selling cur
rent in the city of Wilmington would
have the nerve to ask any higher rate
I than the maximum so fixed, whether
it was fixed by law or not,
"Under this bill, the Peoples Rail
way Company can sell and distribute
current for commercial uses upon its
own poles already creeled in the
streets. It can also erect other polos
and wires Jor such purpose. If the
Street and ' Sewer Department gives
It permission. It is understood that
the New Castle Railway Company has
either closed or is about to close a
contract with the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company by
Which it Will buy all Its power from
the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company and will ahnt down
or has shut down, its power house
and will not he manufacturing any
current for distribution, for commgr
rial use or Otherwise. This contract.
it is understood, went into effect on
the first of March.
"The lighting bill was not passed
along with the bill to permit the
Peoples Railway to lay its tracks to
Fourth street wharf. The former
was passed about one week earlier

JOURNAL of Saturday. March 8Hi,
dated Dover.lt Is stated:
"'The bill to authorize railway
companies to soil and distribute elec
tricity in elites and towns would con
fer an electric business franchise by.
State statute, should it be signed by
tho Governor, without such business
being subject to the regulative powers
of tho Street and Seewer Department
In Wilimlngton, or Town Council in
a town, excepting as to the require
ment of permission for the pitting
of additional poles.'
"As a matter of fact, such Street
and Sewer Department, or such Town
Councils, have now no regulative pow
em relating to the business of selling
and distributing electricity and all
sni h franchises are now granted by
•'Me statute and always have been,
The only P°' v ' Rr * ,b ja such Depart

poîeJ'In'the s P treets° ' The'on y H.i "g
Tue«, m
this Rtatutc does is to permit a mil
way company to distribute electric
current for commercial uses ny means
of poles erected upon street* permis
sion for the erection of which poles
has already been heretofore obtained
froHi tho Street and Sewer Depart
mont, or from a Town Council.
Any idea of a merger of our com
pany with the Wilmington and I'hlla
delphia Traction Company is out. of
the question. The Peoples Railway
Company Is not for sale under any
circumstances, and 1 would not have
the slightest reason for believing that
the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company desires, or ever
would desire, to merge its company
w th our company or our company
!î 0nip 'i ,,y ' . «
Hie idea of using the same wires|
for conveying current for lighting *•
1* used for
for
railway purposes is, of course, absurd,
The currents are entirely different
and could not be conveyed by the
same wire.
"If there is any franchise to the
Wilmington City Electric Company
by which it is required to pay two per
Cent, of ils gross receipts to
and by which there Is specified a
maximum rate for current, the Pco
pies Railway Company will gladly ac
«ept the same franchise to use all tile
•treets which the Wilmington City
Electric Company can now use for its
poles and wires upon the same coudi
Kons
"The idea that the Wilmington City
Electric Company might abandon the
franchise fixing euch maximum rate
and requiring the payment of two per
cent, of Its receipts to tho city and
attempt to distribute electric current
upon its railway poles alone is ab
surd, for the reason that It could then
distribute current only on the streets
where Its railway runs and by such
abandonment would give np Its lines
of poles on all the other streets of the
city of Wilmington."

The sacred concert at the Hotel Du
Pont yesterday afternoon was largely
attended. The program was excep
tionally pleasing and was enjoyed by
ail those present. Tea was served on
the mezzanine floor. Mr. Palmer ami

At their meeting following their
conference with the lawyers and con- f

tee decided upon a reduction of the
right of way from 20u to 100 feet and
an increase of the public roadway
from thirty feet to forty feet. Some
of the members, however, said they
wished to consider further the ques
tion of whether a 200 feet right of
way or 100 feet right, of way was
more desirable inasmuch as the State
was to get tlie profits from the use
of the lateral strips by public utilities.

We do the best work at the lowest prices. That may seem a little
odd to you—but It Is a fact. After any progressive firm gets over a
certain amount of work to do, then It can afford to do all work cheaper
and without lowering the standard of that work.
We do more cleaning, pressing and dyeing than all other places
in this city put together. The RE-NlMT System ot dry-cleaning is
positively the BEST method of removing spots, stains or dirt
For some time we charged $1.50 and $2.00 for cleaning men's and women's clothing, but after we reach
ed the enormous amount of business that we are now doing, and installed new methods, we find that we
can reduce our prices considerably—and not reduce the quality.
If you have a suit that looks a little old or shows dirt spots, let us dry clean and press it.
cleaning cleans thoroughly, and refreshens the nap, while pur expert pressing works the cloth
proper shape. Send us your last year's Spring suit that we may putll in shape for Easter.
