St. Louis, May 2.—Just like a c
after a storm was "International day
at the exposition, compared with "Ded
ication day," which preceded it. The
day's programme was carried out as
planned, but there were numerous de
lays. The weather was ideal, but it
was rather cold ai.d damp in the Lib
eral Arts building and only about 1200
persons listened to the speeches of for
eign representatives. The manage
ment of the crowds was even better
than Thursday.
The speeches were heard by every
body in the hall, and it so happened
that nearly all of the speeders were
possessed of stronger voices, perhaps
excepting President Roosevelt, than the
m'n who were compelled to
against the noise created by the c
that lilied the building Thursday
The Fren< h ambassador, Λ1 J

audience and was frequently i

cheered to the ei ho as he advanced to
make his address. Former Senator

λεοϊ Citizens Against; Argument of
1)\ Mr. PicKett For.
ι ** the VotekS ok Waxahachie:
e In view of the approaching elec
tion to determine the issuance of
$8,000.00 in bonds for the establish
ment of a municipal light plant, we,
the undersigned eitlr-ens and tax
payers of the city desire to direct
your attention to the matter, and to
present what, in our opinion, are
sufficient reasons for voting against
tie proposition.
If there were no question about
the expediency of the city engaging
in this enterprise in view of the ex
perience of other cities of Texas
m making the same attempt, the
fact that the sum proposed will be
sufficient to provide a plant and
equipment only barely sufficient to
provide service for the immediate
vicinity of the square and would
leave the people in the main resi
dence portions of the city unprovid
ed for, although burdened with their
proposition of the additional taxa
tion, would present « condition of
inequality that in itself would justi
fy a vote against the measure.
Hut the reason that should be suf
ficient in our judgment to cause the
rejection of the proposed issu*» is
the present financial condition of
this city.
At the present time the statement
of our indebtedness compiled trom
official sources is as follows:
1st- A bonded debi of.. $ 95 *>00 00
L'nd —School bonds recently
voted 24 000 00
Total bonded indehtednes«*119 ,MM> on
3rd —Notes owing by city $ .5 710 00
4th Accounts due and
owing by city Ι LS2 00
fith Compromised judg
ments unpaid . 1 181 20
Total $ 9 183 38
Making a grand total in
debtedness of. $128 OKI ^18
The city has on hand in cash only
the sum of #'J,714.14 to meet the ex
penses of the year 1903, the levy for
1903 not b«ing available until next
Januaiy and it is evident that il
will all be needed for that purjM>s<
It must be further remembered
that the bonds above mention· 1
and the notes and the judgments
against the city are all interest
bearing, and will continue so to be
until paid.
To pay the above indebtedness the
city has a sinking fund on hand of
$14,230.82. It is only a matter of cal
culation to show that the city owes
now over and above all money on
h tnd for all purposes the sum of
$111,738.42.
Iu view of our treasury being now
practically depleted and our city al
ready struggling under a great in
debtedness upon which Interest is
fast accumulating, we ask you if it
is expedient, if it is wise, if it is
good business judgment for the city
to assume this additional obligation
at this time. We think uot and we
urge upon you to give this matter a
fair, careful and business like con
sideration, free from any prejudice
or bias, looking at it from the view
of what is beet for Waxahachie and
1er citizens and we believe that you
will conclude that it ie not beet to
«sue any more bonds at this time.
It is the duty of every citizen to
:ome to the polls and fearlessly
ïxpreas his sentiments by his bal
lot and we respectfully urge you to
iome out on next Tuesday and vote
in this question.

Favors Bond Issue.
Why do I favor the proposed bond
issue for the establishment of an
electric light plant?
Because I believe in the munici
pal ownership of public utilities,
such as water and light»; because 1
believe same can be operated by our
city in connection with our water
work* system to a great advantage
to our city and our citizens from a
financial standpoint.
Journals devoted solely to statis
tics of cities and towns show con
clusively that the most progressive
cities of Kurope and America mak<
a success of such matter·.
The most wouderful city In the
country Chicago—is now operating
its own electric light plant and sav
ins, in the cost of city lighting
alone, more than the sum of $f>U0,0U<i
annually. Mayor Harrison attrib
uted his recent re-election to his ad
vocacy of municipal ownership of
public utilities and the success of
their city light plant.
We need not go out of our own
state to find a city plant successful
ly operated. Greenville owns and
operates, with great saving to her
citizens, a light plant, and does this
without the division ofexpeuse that
we would have by running oar* Id
connection with our water works
plant. The citizens of Greenville
enjoy the advantage of thirty-one
arc lights on their streets and a
maximum rate of tiU cents for ltt
caiidie power incandescents, where
as wejare r« quired to pay about #1.2ύ
maximum tor said incandescents
and receive very little advantage
from the'few are lights we have.
The Greenville plant recently
showed an overdraft of about H'JUU
I occasioned by tbe completion of
fuel oil equipmeot.
The city of Waxahachie pay» an
nually approximately the mi m of
one thousand dollar» for her light*,
or about twice a» much a» the in -
tercHt ami siukin* fuiui would |»> on
fS.OUO in bond». Now then, some
may oav that the city would have
to incur other expense on account of
the light plant. If no we would have
about $.'«UU hHV' d from present priee
to «tart with. After inutallation of
plant 1 hold that the additional ex
pense of operating same would
amount to very little outside of
what crfuld be done by those oper
ating »he wafer works.
It in not contemplated by the
friends of the proposed bond issue
that this amount would be sufficient
to install a plant in keeping with
the need· of the city at this time,
but simply to be a foundation, as it
were, upon which we could grad.
u nil y build until in time the whole
city would be covered by the sys
tem.
I hear this objection from some of
the opponents: that it will take
JTi'j.UUO to ftO.UUO for this purpose,
in answer to jthis 1 have to say,
that the same objection was urged
about ten years ago against the es
tablishment of a city water plant,
the original outlay for which was
less than I1U,0UU; even less than ths
amount asked for for the light plant.
Is tht-re a citiieu of our city who
would now contend that said Invest
ment forthe foundation of our water
plant was a bad investment? Had
we w aited until the city could have
put jHO.UW into the system at one
time we would now be without this
great plant; and said plant will
stand as a monument to the busi
ness acumen of Hou. K. A. DuBose
and hi· coancll. I have made dill
gent inquiry into the coat of elac
trical machinery and have no hesi
tancy in stating that a plant can be
established with the amount asked
for sufficient to give the city a great
deal more light than we have at the
present time or can have under the
present system of lighting.
Electric snpply people without an
exception say that with the modern
up-to-date dynamos our plant, in
cluding latest improved engine, dy- '
uarno, and all necessary supplias, !
for circuit, can be put in for less
than eight thousand dollars.
If our city can aiford to trust the
management of the water works
plant to the honorable rnmmiitee
on water and light, why not trust
the saine committer with the light
plant. The able management and
work of the present plant is all done
by our own citizens, then why not
the same conditions prevail If the
city should own and operate a plant.
1'nder the present system we are
practically without street lights and
are furnished incandescents at a
maximum of $1.25 per Ι'ί-candle
power light. Vole for thin issue of
bonds and inside of ten years you
will hat»■ to 10 arc lights on our
streets, j 111 1U-power incandescents '
at a i)..i\irmim rate of tiO cents.
As a business proposition it seem·
to me that · \>-ry citizen of our town :
should support the issu»·.
Yours respectfully,
H. K. Pickt:11.
