Sabetha seemed by this time to bo

Its municipal career than observers
In tho nenrny towns had believed, or
In soino Instances, hoped; but Engin

Tho electric light-water plant was not

needed heat. Tho old problem about

Tho following article from the
Technical World tells the Interesting
story of how a Kansas town a llttn!
larger than Mnrshfleld manages to
own Its public utilities to tho profit
and comfort of Its citizen's. Subctha,
Kansas, was formerly the home town
of J. V. Mitchell and ho bears per
sonal knowledge of the excellence of
tho sorvlco rendered. The following
Is the article:
It did not take long for Babotha,
Kansas, to build Its own utilities.
While tho newspapers were printing sco that white cloud, mounting hour

this little town of 2,100 Inhabitants' crs at Rochester, Minn., nnd thero
in icmann county, was the most
comfortnblo placo In tho state. It
nau its own pure wnter supply; It
owned an excellent light plant; It had
a perfect system of sowcrngo dispos
al; and moro important than nil, in
tho winter, It had a municipal Btcam
hcalng outfit that mado it Indopond-

Why not do this for tho wholo town,
Johnson demanded? He knew, now,
jiiBt what ho needed, a slniplo llttlo

li is wie peoplo ror that matter and
a dty council does Just whnt tho
Commercial Club thinks is right. It
was this represtVtatlve body that
carried out tho inside ramifications
of tho business when It cwno to
equipping tho stores and factories
and homes with radiators. Theso
woro bought by tho town In Chicago
nun how jo uio consumers nt an nd
leys. Thero isn't any coal ln tho
towns except in tho homo districts
whero tho steam plpo has not boon
laid. And nil theso districts will
linvo steam next winter.
To get stenm into tho homes of Sa
botha tho property owners must pay
for the mains ln tho stroct. Dy com
bining this does not crcnto on oxcob
slvo cxpenso: about $125 or $140.
Tho rate then Is based on the prlco
of coal and whnt it cost to heat tho
house the winter previously. This
method Was usod last winter. For
instance, the Sabotha National Dnnk
had n rnto of $57. Its coal bill in
the winter of 1910-1911 was $06.
It had moro steam heat last winter
than it needed. A drug storo 00x22
with 16-foot colling paid $41. for its
radiators, last winter. It cost $70 to
Install tho system. This store
couldn't be heated with furnaco ror
less than $75 a winter. Another de
lightful feature Is tho fact that if
you don't uso steam hent ln Sabetha
you don't have to pay a tox for somo
ono olso' heat. Tho tax Is appor
tioned among the users, in tho shapo
of payment for services, and thoso
cnrnlngs tnko up tho city's warrants
Issued to pny for tho equipment.
Uut Sabetha Is Just tho sort of
town to demnnd tho now Borvlco Just
ns fast as It can bo supplied. It Is n
motor town. Thoro nro so mnny
motors in uso that a special rnto
was made Wo have novor seen so
many electrical conveniences in
homes nnywhero. Thoy nro round
in shops, tho butcher stalls, planing
mills, garages, grain olovators, and
In homes; thoy nro used ror passeng
er elevators, feed grinders, washing
mnchincs, Ironing laundries and den
tists' oulccs. They scorn to dollght
In putting In ovory convcnlonco thoy
can buy. They were not satisfied until
thoy had spent $20,500 a fow years
ago, to install septic tanks nnd sani
tary sowors, a system largo enough
for n town four times ns largo as
Sabotha. Tho lateral sowers cost
them $15,000 moro nnd nil this tax,
ns tho books show, was paid up with
in thirty days, except $3,022.12
tho treasurer Inslstod on having tho
exact amount reported.
And how about paving? Snbothn
will have paved streets, thank you,
after awhllo. It prefers right now to
lot tho steam plant pny for ltsolf as
tho light and wntor plant has dono.
It would llko, too, to hnvo n fund
a paving rund, but it docs not enro
to put down n root or paving until
all tho wires nro underground. Think
or that in a town or 2,1001 You
couldn't string n lino or poles In Sn
bothn today ror lovo or monoy. All
wires muBt go under. Thcro'a tho
"White Way", ror Instance, on tho
principal street. Tho ornnmontnl
polos, with thrco or four globes, hnvo
been ordered ror sovon blocks or bus
iness property nnd ovory root or tho
wire will go undor ground. This im
provement will cost every business
man $8.33 nn an installation charge
Artor that, presumably tho rato will
bo "sliding" llko tho others, ror ev
eryone In Sabotha pays according to
his consumption, with a liberal dis
count above cortnln amounts. Tho
Ico plant uses $400 worth or current
n month with n rour cont rnto. Twolvo
rents n kilowatt hour Is tho basis ror
this chargo.
It Ih duo Sabotha at this point to
draw nttontlon to tho fact that It Is
not n Socialistic town, a co-opomtlvo
community or anything of tho sort.
It Is n town nlmost without politics.
Indeed thero aro no parties whoro
tho wolfaro of Sabotha Is concerned.
Theso distinctions nro rosorved for
state and national disturbances nnd
nowspapor polls. Thoro nro two tick
ets In tho Held when tho town has an
election; Citizens' nnd Municipal, al
though both, bless their hoartsl nro
working for Snbetha. Tho only con-
tost nppoars to soo which sldo can got
tho candidates first. A city ofnclal In
Sabetha has precious llttlo to do any
way. Tho pooplo don't leuvo him
mnny of his prerogatives. Wnon
somo thing turns up that would look
good, thoy call a meeting of tho Com
mercial Club and talk It over, and
that's all thoro Is to It, so far ns Mr.
City Ofllclal Is concerned. It would
bo hard to Imaglno n happier family,
munlclplally speaking. And not n
lawyer In tho town.
Sabotha, however, docs not exactly
attrtbuto its prosperity, Its freedom
from discord to nbsonco of members
of the legal fratornity. No It docs
not so Indlscrimntlngly Jumblo Its
causes and effects. , It thoroughly
understands that tho lack of layers
nlono does not mnko for harmony.
Whon tho good cltlzons of Sabotha
If that day should over come grow
fractious and quarrelsome, lawyers
may follow.
