THE COST OF ELECTRIC LIGHTING,
Some Very Interesting Facts and Figures Showing the
vantages of Municipal Ownership.
Ad
The very Instructive table given be
low with the comments following it
appeared in last week's Lincoln Herald
Some further comment and comparison
will bring out additional 6trong points
in favor of municipal ownership.
First let us draw a comparison be
tween Illinois cities:
Elgin b as 80 arc-lights, all night, at
a cost of W3 per light, under city
ownership. Streator has 60 lights, all
night, at a cost of t98 00 per light un
der corporation ownership more than
double the cost.
Now let us see how it works in Hoo
sierdom: Madiwn. led., has 85 lights,
"moon all night," (which means an aver
age of 6 hours per night) under city
ownership at a cost of $58.50 per light.
Logansport, Ind., has 85 lights, same
time, under private ownership, at$10i).
00 per light.
Here is how it works In ' Old Kaln
tuck:" Bowling Green has 60 lights,
under city ownership for $50. Owens
borough has 30 lights under private
ownership, same time, costing $110-00
per light.
Bangor, Make, has 140 lights, all
night, under city ownership at a cost of
$15 cpcIi. Bath, Maine, has 31 lights,
only half the number of hours, costing
$125 per light, under private ownership.
In Michigan the figures are even more
striking: Ypsilanti owns and operates
her light plant, and keeps 801ighta going
till 1 o'clock in the morning at a cost
of $23 CO per light. Lansing with pri
vate ownership has 100 lights going
same length of time at a cost of $100.00
per light.
In Missouri no comparison is possible
The old moss-backs down there are too
far behind the times to bave made the
experiment of city ownership. But
notice that in Kansas City for 128 lights
a soulless corporation collects $200 per
light. At the same time Tope t a, Kan
sas, owns her plant, and keeps 1S4 lights
going at a cost of $07 per light, and
still it is evident from comparison
with other cities that Topeka doesn'
practice economy.
Further comparisons are not neces
sary.
The compiler of the table below is
certainly more than fair in his com
parisons. He is willing to allow 12 per
cent per year on the cost of clty-o waed
plants for interest and repairs. This is
a very liberal allowance.
A study of the table reveals the fact
that there are great differences in cost
between different cities which own and
operate their plants. Of course these
differences may arise to some extent
from difference in costof coal etc. But It
Is evident that they are due in a greater
measure to differences in economy of
construction and management. That
the corruption which prevails in so
many cities has made the cost of plants
and their operation much more expen
sive than they should be will hardly be
disputed A general adoption of the
plan of city ownership would largely
do away with this. Kxpcrience will
teach methods of greater economy, and
cities will lcam from one another.
Again, as the lights become cheaper
under city ownership their number will
be increased wl'hout a corresponding
increase In the cost of the plant. Hence
the cost per light will be reduced.
Considering all these circumstances
the table shows up the advantage of
city ownership in a very striking man
ner, Thera is little doubt that private
cor orat Ions can furnish light as cheap
If not cheaper than municipalities.
This only emphasizes the magnitude of
the robbery that Is now practiced by
these corporations.
CONSIDERABLE OV A PIIWJU'NCE.

Kven If private companies could do
lighting as cheaply as municipalities
It is doubtful If they would. Electric
lighting Is one of the services the
rates of which are practically not
subject to competition. Tho facts
and statistics presented in this
paper do not Introduce any new
principle for municipal action.
They only emphasize what has been
demonstrated an hundred times by
experiment that pursuits which
from their very nature are netural
monopolies cannot be to econom

who said he had always been making
sacrifices as to appetite, giving up one
thing after another for the sake of
health. At length, when he was
about eighty years old, he had simpli
