'paper Well Without Spectacles Dublin--S8hortly after the com- mencement of the Shannon works, a, well-known electrical expert who familiar with similar undertak- ings in the United States, Sweden and elsewhere, expressed the opin- fon that the project was certain to cost & vastly greater sum than that which the promoters asserted would suffice, and that in no circumstance. es could the scheme be a financial success, The Correctness of the ex- rt's views was soon to be de- monstrated, as the original esti- mate has already been largely ex- ceeded, and it is anticipated that the initial cost of the works will run well into $40,000,000. It is apparent from the subse- quent action of the Government that financially their views are now more or less in accordance with those of the expert, as they have passed the | Electric Supply Act, which will compel all users of elec- tricity to abandon existing sources of supply and take it from the Shannon installation, and pay what- ever charges the Government may choose to make, An Electricity Board has been formed, and behind it stands the Minister of Industry and Com- merce, It is unnecessary to enum- erate - the extensive powers con- ferred by the Act, but so far as the supply of electricity is con- cerned the authorities have obtain- ed an absolutely free hand, and the citizens of the Free State are deprived of all liberty whatsoever in the matter, Many Grievances All existing sources of supply are to be taken over by the Board. In some instances compensation may be given, but none in the case of & concern belonging to a civie or municipal body, as, for example, the Corporation of Dublin, now admin- istered by Commissioners. The elec- tricity works in Dublin have been extremely well managed, and those who possessed installations found it cheaper and better in every way to take current from the Corpor- ation works, which were carried on advantageously, not only to the consumers but also the ratepayers. A substantial profit was earned, which enabled a large part of the loan originally raised for the con- struction of the works to be pald off and a corresponding reduction effected in the rates, This whole concern, the property of ratepay- ers, is now to be confiscated by the Board who will only assume liabil- ity for the balance of the loan out- standing. The ratepayers will be deprived of all the benefits they have hither- ! to enjoyed, and will, it is anticipat- ed, have to pay a higher rate for '. electricity. But the Dublin ratepay- ers have a further grievance. # Money is wanted for the Shan- "non connection with Dublin and the Government have recently nrozured the Commissioners to float a loan of $4,000,000 at 5 per cent. The whole of this sum may be spent on electrical purposes, and thus an additional burden of some $200,000 a year placed on the rate- payers. wners of private electrical concerns can get no information as to how they are to be treated, or what, if any, compensation is to Le paid to them. "Ministers claim that the new sys- tem will be so satisfactory that it will cause manufacturers to spring up in all parts of the Free State. It is easy to prophesy, but certainly there are no apparent grounds to support such optimistic views. The experience derived from the work- ing of the Niagara Falls Company points to the opposite conclusion. This company was started about forty years ago at Niagara. The source of water power was in ex- istence, and had only to be made available. In the United States the - population fis large and manufae- tories numerous; both were stead- ily increasing. . In the case of the Shannon scheme, on the other hand, immense expenditure will have been incur- red to create the water power be- fore it can be utilised for the pro- duction 'of electricity. A In the Free State the population is small and is steadily dwindling; the emigrants are maipdy drawn from among the producers, and' each year manufactories are becom- ing fewer. Now, although the position of affairs in the United States was favorable when the Falls Company began operations, years elapsed be- fore the company achieved success. It seems probable that commencing under the unfavorable conditions that exist in the Free State so far from the anmticipations of Minist- ers being realised, the revenue de- rived from the Shannon project will not be sufficient to pay even the working expenses, much less pro- vide for interest on the Sinking Fund or the borrowed money. Shannon Elcctricity Scheme Turns Out an Expensive Luxury Philadelphia, Pa., Dee, 7.» Com- plete disclosures of the operations of a widespread gambling ring, involv- ing murder as well as graft, 'and implicating politicians and police of- ficials, were in prospect Tuesday night after statements by a grand jury and the district attorney. The gambling ring, it was said, in ter-Jocked with the liquor racket, whose investigation has led to the dismissal of many high police offi. cials and the forced resignation of the superintendent of police, , In its first statement on the gambl- ing situation, a grand jury, after thorough investigation, said: 3 "Evidence we have - received dis closes that men in public life and po- lice officials participated in loot el ther as partners in gambling enter prises or in the tribute exacted from such enterprises." Under the system in operation, it was added, gambling houses that "fixed" the right people ran unmo- lested, while those that did not were i raided. It was one of the men who were not on the approved list--Tom- my Gilchrist, former physician-- that first put the jury on the trail of the gambling ring's insiders. To Act at Once The jurors' presentment was made to Judge Edwin O, Lewis. He an- nounced at once that he would act on all cases presented to him, * This evidence was supplemented by that of Charles F, Toomey, convicted of embezzling $342,000 from the Fi- delity Trust Company. 'Toomey claimed he lost more than $300,000 in gambling "mostly playing the horses, but some at craps and rou- lette." District Attorney John Monaghan. in a stdtement, said that he had evi dence linking at least 30 shootings many of them fatal, with the gamb' ing ring. One by one, he believed, he could trace back the shootings for more than eighteen months in a series of punishments and reprisals meted out alternately by members of rival 'gambling gangs. The chain led back to the murder of two Itali- ans on Memorial Day, 1927, and in- cluded those of two men whose kill- ing led to the present investigati~n-- Hughie McLoon and Daniel O'Leary. DECLARES COST OF PLANES T00 HIGH Whirlwind Engine Inventor Says That Reduction in Prices Needed Chicago, Dec. 7, -- Increased pro- duction to effect lower prices in air planes is essential to progress in the aviation. industry, .Charles L. Law- rence, inventor of the Whirlwind en- gine, who is attending the Interna ! tional Aeronautical Exposition, said Tuesday. "Prices must be lowered," he sald, "and it can only be done by increas ed production of engines and planes. High costs have made many opera- tors use obsolete types of engines in their planes, but that will be over come as manufacturers reach thelr stride." The large attendances each day at the show has served to increase the optimistic tone sounded by producers and fliers since the exposition open- ed last Saturday. SAYS HEIRESS WAS WORKING IN STORE N.
