As I said last week, I am no lawyer. The law providing that a tncond vote on appropriations cannot be hold until the'neNt dnnual election was amended by the Legislature of 1910, so that the limit is now 'JO days, and if if is so de¬ sired we can vote early in June to re¬ consider the ijiiestion of appropriating funds for street lighting;.
1 have bet'ii askt if 1 wil! refute the statements in the last issue of the (ib- servLT rc;;aiding the cost of street laiiij'S in which it was inferred that lamps could be operate I on a moonlight schfdult fur $l!l a >ear. I will merely state that the liphts have never been operated for t'2\ a ye:ir and even when .Mr. George W;illact' (who undoubtedly wrote, Ol' was responsible for such statcnieiilsi was President of the vil¬ lage, it was only possible to furnish the lamps on a moonlight schedule at .^21 a year by making the private light ciitisuiners pay «'i.v shortage, manifest¬ ly an urfiiir procedure to nuike the people using electricity in their houses pay a hinher price than should bave prevailed in order fo reduce taxes for Iho-^e who used no electricity at home I'ut had an equal share of street light- ; inir lenefits. :
It is impossible to furnish street lignts the same as used in Freeport on a nuioniight schedule at #21 a year and anyone who has ever figured it out knows this to be so. We have seen statements, but never figures, to the contrary.
Even adn-ifting this to be true, though, we are burning fhe lights twice as long now or more, and lamps of ; higher efiiciency. And further, the 1 cost of everything connected with the plant has increast greatly, such as coal, \ wages, supplies and equipment. \
The   sum   reciuested   for   operating ' lights   for the coming year   was based upon    figures    furnisht    by    Engineer Smith,    who   has   been at the   power | house since the plant was first   started ami is better   qualified   than   any   one' else   to know the   cost of running   the lamps. I
But what is the   use?    We ail   have i our hobbies and it is the   hobby of the j man    \\'ho wrote fhe item   referred   to that lights can be produced in Freeport for   less   than is paid in any   place   in I the country so far as we can find, even i where water power and not coal is used in manufacture.
The referendum worked at fhe Free- j port election for village oflficers. Out of nine propositions for appropriations i aggregating $60,000 the taxpayers ap¬ proved only two calling for an ex¬ penditure of $6,500. The Hanse ticket was elected as there was no opposition. But the vote on the appropriations! showed a lack of confidence on the part | of property owners, the only ones el-1 igitble to vote on appropriations,Jn the' work done at fhe recent primary where manhood suffrage was the only test and 1,100 votes were brought out by active campaigning. The importance of the primary now dwindles. Hanse and his successful followers no doubt realize the truth of Judge Culen's remark in his dissenting opinion that "the prim¬ ary election is not a real election." The real election took place quietly with no money spent on either side and the property owners stepped in and re¬ moved the public purse from the hands of the reprsenfatives of the will of the' people as expressed at the much-vaunt- j ed direct primary. Thus the will of the people who have the say when it comes to passing out the money is! found superior to the will of the peo- j pie wbo own no property and are at' liberty to move elsewhere if rents go ; high under bankruptfng government. ! Now follows a threat that Kreeport i lights will be shut off and that there will be no police and no fire protection, i Kerosene   lamps   will   be brought   out'
