A statement of the affairs as they now exist In Logan, Including a rc-poit rc-poit of the uttPiances at the fast meeting last Sunday, has been sent to Washington and the attention of the Senate Committee on I'llvllcgcs and Election will undoubtedly be called to 1 it." This extract is wholly without ti nth, and Mr. (8. II. Place, the Telegram's! repicscntatlve who came to Logan Thuisday night to secure the Information Infor-mation for the ai tide which was given such prominence, could not have gotten this pan out of anything but his thumb. There arc not a half docn (Jcntllcs In business In Logan, and an Interview with these leads to a refutation of the statement. The ftentlles have been and still arc accorded ac-corded every courtesy. So far as the power plant pioposl-tlon pioposl-tlon Is concerned, there is no sectarian light on In any sense. Nearly two veais ago the agitation for a city light plant was begun. The city had ceitalu lights In the canjon which would be foifelted In case action was not taken to secuie them. The Hercules Her-cules people weie giving excellent satisfaction at that time and i.ites on lights tliatcould not be questioned. However It was deemed best that the city possess a plant of Its own, Ihst, tosecuieits cam on lights (which It might want badly after they weie forfeited) for-feited) second as a levenue pioduccr. Theie was a vote on a bond Issue and that cat tied. Woikon the plant and system was begun early last summer sum-mer and the same is now ver nearly completed. Immediately after the bond issue the Heiculcs people raised the price ol lights veiy neatly two-thhdsaud two-thhdsaud theie has been some Ill-feeling Ill-feeling since. The Heiculcs people have been tefeiied to as "foiclgneis," not in the sense that the) areOentlles, but th.it the people opeiatlng the s stent aie fioin out of the city. The Telcgiam has mlsiepresented this matter wholly and has done Itself no good heie. If such a statement as this has been sent to Washington then theie should be anothei lefutlng it. The situation heie is not ctllical and Gentiles aie not afiald of being muidcied. The people here ate stirted over the situation, as a matter of course, but theie has been no overt act 01 expicssion that would vvanant the Tclegiam's statement in icgard to business conditions. The Gentiles ol this city will stand pat on this. |
