LIGHT ON THE FARM LOAN

Editor Star: There are a few pap-e- x

s that contend that the new farmloan bill is no good, etc. Here are aft-- facts and figures that cannot bedenied or disputed as being correct.

Farmers, this new loan bill hasbeen, created for your benefit. Studythese figures and decide for yourselfif this bill is good, or bad, then actaccordingly.

Our Senator Fletcher, writing meunder date Sept. 19th, says in part"Suppose a farmer wishes to borrow$1,000. He4 would probably have topay 10 per cent interest for it, thatwould be $100 per annum. If he keptthe money for 20 years he would pay$2,000 interest. He would have topay then, in order to cancel the mortae the Principal, making a total of

$3,000. Under the farm loan act hewould get his money at 5 per cent interest, and be paying $80.24 per annum. He would pay in 20 years$1,604.80 and would thereby liquidatehis entire indebtedness, have his mort- -gage cancened and thereby save $1,--

395.20."This would be a saving to the far- -

mer who borrows $1,000 from thefarm loan bank by paying $u.Z4 iortwenty years of $69.70 per year overa 10 per cent interest account of thesame amount.

I also received from the nationalfarm loan board an itemized Scheduleshowing how by paying $80.34 on in- -

terest and principal the debt of $1000can be cancelled in twenty years for$1,604.84.

An ordinary loan at 5 per cent in--terest on $1000 lor twenty yearswould amount to $1Q00 plus principal$1000, or it would cost you $2000.Under the farm loan act it will costyou but $1,604.84.

It is surely better for a man to getmnnav at RO 94 ner $1000 tier vear

as certainly "an experiment, nethought that the De La Vergne com- - inpany should be willing to pay for the ed

foundation also, as lone- - as the com- -pany was so willing to put in thelarge engine. J

MrHennev told council that it wasproper that the contractor shouldpaid for am extra cost on the

foundations, and said that if the con--tractor wished council to approve theaction of the engineers in accepting

change of engines it was nothingright that the contractor should

have the approval of council. Mr,Henney said that his firm had acted,

the matter in accordance with the INauthority given them in contract andspecifications.

The second matter disposed of concerned the foundation for the watertower. Mr. Thompson contended that

contract did not call er the con--struction of this loundation. yi. uur--

ford, for the contractor, contended inthat there was nothing, in the con-- 1

tract and nothing in the specificationsreferring to the foundation for thetower, and that all other foundations ofwere referred to. Mr. nenney pointedout that the engineers were given an- -thority to interpret the plans andspecifications, and said that the foun- -dation for the tower was plainlyshown on the plans for tne piant. mr.Henney said that when the watertower item was eliminated from, Mr.Thompson's contract, and given to the

D, Cole company of Newnan, Ga.,the Cole contract was for the tower"above the foundation," which left thebundation in Mr. Thompson's con

tract.Col. Burford cdntended that the'en--

gineers could not act as a judicialtnbunal; could not decide what was

the difference of opinion as towhether the water tower foundations J

were a part of the contract or not. I

Col. Burford said that Mr. Thompsonwould be satisfied to have council sup- -pert the . engineer's contention, and I

give instructions to have' the workproceed; that Mr. Thompson would go I

ahead with the work under protest,!claiming that the foundation was notm the contract, and asiang ior a set- -

tlement later. .mere was a discussion witn regard

to certain- - conversations, that tookplace at the time the contract tor tneight and water plant was awarded, k

among ihembers.of the council, thecity attorney and the contractor. Mr.Thompson contended that in theseconversations it was agreed that thetower foundations were not to bepart of his contract. Mr. Henney saidthat conversations had nothing to dowith it, that tlfe written agreementsshould be the guide in the matter. Hesaid that he could not do otherwisethan advise council to insist on Mr.Thomnson's nutting in the foundation, either this, or that the city havethe foundation put in and chargedagainst the contractor. Mr. Henneysaid-tha- t council should be guided bythe advice of the city attorney, andthat council would be safe in doing so.Mr. Henney a few minutes before hadhad a conversation with FrederickHocker, city attorney.

, Council instructed the engineer tohave work on the tower foundationstart at once, according to the engineer's interpretation, which was thatthe foundation constitute a part of j

Mr. Thompson's contract. Mr. Thomp- 1

son said that he would start work im- 1

mediately. He said he thought the!whole matter merely an honest dif-- J

reply to Mr. Thompson's request foritemized estimates of work done onthe plant. Mr. Henney said that hehad been preparing itemized estimates, and that copies of the samewere attached to the statements giventhe council, and to the bank. Mr." Henney said that he would gladly give Mr.Thompson a copy of the itemizedstatement at any time. Mr. Thompson, Mr. Henney said, had never ask-ed for one. Mr. Thompson admittedthis, it was agreed that the contractor would get the statement asked

in the future.Section 3 of the specifications for

light and water plant reads as follows:

"Should there be any doubt as tothe meaning of the specifications, orany obscurity in the wording of them,

should there appear any discrepancy between them and the plans, theengineers shall explain them and suchexplanation shall be final and bindingupon the contractor, who will notmake any charge or claim for extrawork or damage in consequence ofjsuch explanation, but will execute theworkin accordance therewith.

SPECIAL SES111

Alderman, Engineer and ContractorAll Arrived at an Amicable but

' Understanding - be

The special session of council lastnight for the purpose of consideringdisputed matters concerning the new thelight and water plant, instead of giv buting rise to a hated controversy,

from the first into whatCol. R. A Burford, counsel for Mr. inBenjamin Thompson, the contractor,characterized as a "love feast." Coun-

cil backed Twombly & Henney, thecity's engineers, and everybody wassatisfied. The work on the plant willnow proceed merrily. his

The change in the De La Vergne oilengine was first disposed of. Uponthe recommendation of Engineer Henney, speaking for his firm, council ap-

proved the change of engine, andagreed that the city would pay forthe necessary change in the concretefoundations for the new piece of ma-

chinery upon the basis of the cost ofthe original foundations called for. Itwas again pointed out, and this timeby Mr. Henney, for the engineers, Mr,.Thompson, the contractor, and Mr.Gibbes, representing the De La Vergnepeople, that the city would get in thenew oil engine a very superior piece R.of machinery. Mr. Gibbes said thatthe city would get an engine costingthe manufactures from $6000 to $7000more than the city would pay for it,the city would get a larger generator,costing about $500 mare than the citywould pay for it, and the increase infreight on the new' machinery would incost the manufacturers about $300.Mr. Gibbes said that Ocala would getthe best oil engine to be had. The De toLa Vergne company, Mr. Gibbes said,realized the opportunity it had herein Ocala of proving the worthiness ofits engine. He said his company ofrealized that the eyes of the engineer-ing world would be on the plant here,in which the oil engine would beoperated in direct competion with asteam engine. Mr. Gibbes said thatthe De La Vergne people asked thatthe new engine be placed on a largerfoundation than called for in thespecifications for the plant. Mr.Thompson said that the larger foundation would call for more concreteand an increase in tne cost 01 construction, and asked that the city allow him payment for this increaseMr. Henney thought that the foundations called, for by the De La Vergnepeople not necessary in view of thepeculiar soil conditions obtaining onthe site of the new plant. Mr. Gibbessaid that Mr. Henney was correct inwhat he said, but asked that thespecifications of the De La Vergnecompany for the foundations be adopted. Mr. Gibbes said, and Mr. Henneyagreed, that the' increased cost wouldbe but a small item as compared withthe small cost of the better enginethe city would get. Mr. Gibbes saidthat he' would like the- - city to tie theDe La Vergne company "hand andfoot," in order that, in case anythingshould go wrong at any time, thecompany could not come back andsaythat the city did not put in the properfoundations.

Councilman Moore voted againstapproving the action of the engineersin making changes of engines. Mr.Moore wanted to know why the De LaVergne people had not spoken of thebetter engine in the first place. Hesaid that he could not understand whyany manufacturer would want to givethe city $6000 or $7000 worth of machinery, nor why the city should pay
