THE NORFOLK NEWS FRIDAY JULY 2b 1901
Municipal Ownership
Tho people of Norfolk will in a fow
days voto on proposition to bond tho
city for fitliOO to install n municipal
oloctrio lighting plant Norfolk already
has a private lighting company aud a
laudable desire to havo its streets moro
thoroughly illuminated HOW to do
justice to tho prlvato company and at
tho samo timo got moro street lights is
the gist of tho question now boforo tho
people Fromout has had some oxpor
ionco iu this dlroctiou which may bo
of servlco in pointing tho way Fro
mout bo it known is one of tho best
lighted cltioB in tho stato Sovonty nro
lights irradiate their effulgence and
mako a thoroughly lighted city Whllo
thin is truo it is likewise u fact that tho
lighting is costing tho city a fair sum
of money Tho municipal plant does
not sell ouough light to privato con
sumers to mako tho plant self-sustaining
That would bo tho ideal condl
tlon but it does not exist Fromout
with a schodulo of 15 cunts por hundred
hours is being assessed lu mills for
lighting jmrposos Last yoar it was 5
mills This moans a cost of about
f 1000 to which should bo addod inter
est on 28000 tho cost of the plant
This at i por cent would bo 1120 moro
making a total of fjlJO This is an
average of about 17 por aro light por
annum This is choapor than Fremont
was buying its street lights boforoit put
iu its own systom Norfolks present
privato plant offers tho city a rato of f J
a inbnth a lamp for thirty lamps This
is about tho cost of Fremonts lighting
Norfolk is not likely to do bottor than
that with municipal ownorship prob
ably not so well for if tho patronage of
tho town Is divided thoro as hero bo
twoou tho two companies tho commer
cial lighting will bo loss than horo
Had Fromout boon ablo to purohaso tho
privato companys plant at a reasonable
price and thus havo secured all tho com
mercial lighting of tho city it might
at presout rates bo securing its streot
lighting as a net profit on tho entire
business If Norfolk insists on muni
cipal lighting it will be wiso to buy tho
privato plant if it can bo dono reason
ably and thus havo all tho lighting
It is not economical to maintain two
plants to do what one can do moro
cheaply Fromout Tribuuo
Tho foregoing from tho Fromout Trib
uuo of Tuesday is of especial value just
at this time particularly in view of tho
foot that Fremonts experience with
municipal ownorship has boon fre
quently quoted in favor of voting bonds
to install a city lighting plant horo as
it throws Considerable light upon a sub
ject that many of us do not understand
Tho showing does not seem to be nearly
so favorablo for municipal ownership as
most of us had supposed would bo made
Tho fact that a 4i mill lovy is required
to keep up tho plant iu Fremont dem
onstrates beyoud peradveuture that tho
commercial lighting does not pay tho
exponso of operation notwithstanding
the fact that it has twice the population
to draw from that there is in Norfolk
Other conditions aro the same there as
they would bo here should a city plant
bo installed in opposition to tho private
plant now in existence It is certainly
wisdom for ns to take the result at
tained in other towns on a matter of
thiS kind aud there is every reason why
Fremonts experieuco should be a better
criterion than au abstract theory basod
largely upou guess work
Iu tho above figures tho Tribune has
said nothing about wear and tear of
plaut Every user of machinery will
quickly say that tho wear aud tear on
machinery amounts to fully ten por cont
a year aud in somo instances it runs
higher than that If Fremont had fig
ure six per cout interest on the money
invested tho cost per light on the basis
of the number now beiug used in that
city would be iucroasod to about 80 per
yoar If Norfolk votes bonds and puts
iu a lightiug plant at a cost of 10500
thouutOrest on iuvestmout at six per
cent will be 900 a year tho amount
raised iu taxes on a levy of 41 mills
will be about 1700 while the wear and
tear including repairs will amount on
a conservative estimate to 1600 more
making a total of 4340 a year to say
nothing of the extra help aud coal which
would be required to operate it even in
connootion with our present water
works systom which would run from
2500 to 3000 more per year Against
this stands tho proposition of tho local
company to furnlBh the city with 30
street lights at a cost of 0 per month
each making a total cost for the year of
1020 It is understood however that
tho oity couuoil doos not believe 30
street lights are required but that 20
will be enough The samo rate per
light from tho local company would
briug the cost down to 1410 a year as
against 6810 if tho city owus the plant
Some credit should be giveu of course
for the commercial lighting that the
city will bo able to do but with a com
petitor prepared to meet any price that
maybe made by the municipal plaut
this sourne of revenue cannot be figured
very hitrh While this condition of af
fairs would be very desirable for the
users of light from the standpoint of a
tax payer we do not see how it can be
considered a good business proposition
There is another feature of this
proposition that is decidedly wrong iu
prinoiplo The Norfolk Eleotrio Light
and Power company put In a plaut somo
twelve or more years ago that was
adequate at the time for the require
ments of the city but notwithstanding
tho fact that high prices wero charged
for lights tho business was not a great
success Last fall however to meet
tho growing demand for more light
throughout the city tho company com
menced extensive improvements on its
system and isnow preparedjto furnish all
tho light that will be needed It was
the time the extonsions were
commenced that tho system would be
operated on the meter basis and the
rates fixed aro practically the samo as
iu towns that havo municipal plants
aud aro lower than either Sioux Oity
Omaha or Lincoln Thcro is au in
justice in tho Idoa of putting iu a com
petitor to a privato ontorprlso especially
if tho privato concern Is disposed to do
what Is right that is particularly ob
noxious Tho local company is backed
wholly by homo money aud If it is
treating peoplo fairly then thoro should
10 no moro reason for putting in a
public plaut to injuro Its business than
thero would bo for establishing a
city printing office or city dopartmout
storo Wo boliove that public enter
prise should bo oucouragod to Improvo
and beautify tho town and that tho city
has no moral right to stop In and do
privo it of tho moans of earning a fair
interest on its iuvostmont aftor
its money has boon put iu it
Tho priuciplo of the thing is wrong and
no city cau be built up iu any such a
manner
PROPOSITION CHANGED
Number of Lights up to 30 LeftJOp
tlonal With tho Council
Norfolk July 21 To tho Editor of
tho Daily News Dear Sir At tho
last mooting of tho oity council a propo
sition was made tho oity by tho Norfolk
Eioctric Light Power company to
furnish the city 30 aro lamps at a price
of tl per month per lamp The com
pany was under the Impression that 30
lights was about what the city would
require to thoroughly light every street
iu tho city Since makiug this propo
sition somo of the oouucll havo called
our attention to the bolief of aj great
many of our citizens that the oity did
uot require this amount of light TIiIb
boing the case tho company will change
its proposition in regard to tho number
of lights to read from one to 30 lamps at
i por month por lamp for this reason
that we are offoring the city light for
loss than tho actual cost of production
aud tho less number of lamps they re
quire at tfio price tho bettor it will
ploase tho company
