Electric Light Proposition,
At the meeting' of the council
Tuesday evening' Lester W. Walker
of this city submitted to the '
council a proposition, in the form
of an ordinance, for establishing au
electric light plant,
Section one of the ordinance pro
vides the granting to "Walker and
his asBiirns a twenty year franchise
for right and privilege to erect,
maintain and equip an electric
light and power plant and to main
tain poles and wires on streets.
Section two provides that the
plant shall be of sufficient capacity
to supply t tic current necessary,
for arc and incandescent lighting,
for operating light motors, charg
ing storage batteries and for other
services demanded by a modern
city.
Sections three relates to the
location of poles and provides that
the poles and wires running ca8t
and west shall as far as practicable,
be placed in allyd. and tliat Dewey'
street from Front to Fifth htrccts
bliall be as free from poles and
wires as possible.
Section four provides that poles
ud wires shall not interfere with
lydrants, lire alarm, telephone or
telegraph wires, and that between
upports the wires shall not be less
li an twenty feet above the ground,
Section Ave relates to schedule of
rates, which is as .follows: I' or
commercial and private residence
ighting arc lights all night per
month $12.50; arc lights until mid-
ight per month $9.00; incandescent
lights (1G c. p.) each per hour ouc
cent; incandescent lights, all candle
power, per kilowatt hour eighteen
cents. Street lighting from twi
light in the evening to twilight of
the following morning Arc lights
of 2,000 candle power each per year
$100; incandescent lights of thirty-
two candle power each per month
S3. Street lighting Philadelphia,
moonlight schedule Arc lights c
,000 candle power per year 590; in
candescent lights of thirty-two can-
die power per month $2.50. Reas
onablc rates for residences will br
established, determined by tin
number of lights m circuit and tin
number of hours they will be in usi
Section six relates to the location
of such lights as the city may con
tract for and the payment for tu
service on or before the 10th of eacl
month succeeding the mouth ir
which the services are rendered
Section seven fixes August 1st
1901, as the time by which Walke
shall have the plant in operation
and if he fails in this the ordinance
shall cease and determine.
Section eight provides that th
management and operation of th .
plant and lines shall be subject to
the provisions ot ordinances nov; iu
force or which may hereafter b
adapted relating thereto.
We believe that this is by far tho
most favorable electric light propc
sition, so far as the city's interest
are concerned, that has yet been
presented to the council. It will b
been that Mr. Walker does not as ;
the city to guarantee that it vi I
take any specified number of ar:
or incandescent lights. He will
erect the plant, put it in operation,
demonstrate its efficiency and then
say to the council: Gentlemen,
have an electric light plant and an
ready to turnish you arc and incan
descent lights at prices set forth in
the ordinance; how many lights do
you wish to use? Now that is ce
tainly a fair business proposition.
The city can contract for fne
hundred dollars worth of lights pf.r
year or it can contract for the full
amount raised by the levy, which
is about fourteen hundred dollars
on the present assessed valuation.
Or if the council does uotwish to
take lights, it is not bound to do s.
The prices named in the ordi
nance are lower than those nanu r
in any proposition heretofore su
nutted, and iu all respects M-
Walker's proposition js certainly a
favorable one.
For ten years past the people f
North Platte have been discussi. g
the electric light question and
to the present the solution- is to
faraway as. ever. The same was

true in regard to the building of a
high school, but finally the dilly
dallying on the latter nucstion
ended, the proposition received
action, and as a result everybody is
pleased with the outcome. What
is true of the school bunding will
be true in regard to an electric
light plant. But talk will never
put in a lighting sy&teru; action is
what is necessary. Will the
council act?
