Slico tho city council has appointed a
commit leo to investigate tho feasibility
of municipal ownership of tho electric
light plant in Norfolk tho question may
bo considered a live one For tho pur
pose of ascertaining public sentiment in
thH matter a ropichcntativo Tin Dniiv
News has obtained from different citi
zens an expression of their views regard
ing tho proposition aud is glad to lay
them before its readers
Chester A Fuller The city should
own its own water and light
Aug Karo Dont know much about
it Beliovo it would bo a good idea
Heeler Bros In favor of now plant
if it can bo bought and run on business
principles
C C How Should look upon il
favorably if it can stand business in
vestigation
W M Robertson I 1 think it is all
right for tho city to own an electric
light plant
John R Hays If city is financially
able 1 nmin favor of tho purchase and
ownership of a new plant
OMForney It demands careful
investigation and should bo decided
purely on its business merits
PFBell Tho idea is all right
but just at this time we should think
twice before incurring extra expense
Frank Davenport Boforo I can
talk nbout electric lights for tho city
muht havo more light on tho subject
M O Walkor Of courso Im in
favor of itJ Buy tho old plant only on
coudtiou that it can bo bought right
II II Patterson I have nothing
whatever to say It is a matter for tho
peoplo aud tho council to settle as they
think best
George Davenport Think it proper
thing for city to do some timobutshoiild
not think it wise for it to attempt to do
it this year
O S Bridgo 1 would advise that
the city owuits electric light plant
Favor a now plant in connection with
tho waterworks
A J Durland Am in favor of the
idea of municipal ownership of electrio
light plant Owners of present plant
should bo treated fnirly
Geo W Box Tho city is not in
shape to undertnko new enterprises
Attention should bo paid to reducing
taxes not increasing them
Dr Bear Am decidedly in favor of
the city owning its own electric light
plant but am altogether opposed to its
buying tho plant in operation hero
G B Salter Havent given the
matter tho consideration it deserves
Should want to inform myself very
thoroughly before expressing an opin
ion
John Friday Am not fully in
formed ns to proposition but seo no rea
son why city ownership of electric light
wouldnt botho proper and sensible
thing
W II Bucholz My observation of
municipal ownership is that it is un
satisfactory Ordinarily it is a
for a town or city unless it is
peculiarly situated and owns or controls
cheap power
W II Johnson Am not as well in
formed as to what is proposed as I
would liko to bo Think thero should
bo a stronger aud better plant for light
ing the city Would bo in favor of city
ownership under proper provisions
Col Cotton By all means the city
should own an electric Ijght plant It
would bo as good an investment as the
waterworks which has proven a suc
cess Would favor buying tho old plant
if it can bo purchased for a fair price
N A Rainbolt We aro bonded be
yond nil reason now Tho timo is not
ripo to entortain such 11 proposition
The probability is that wo will havo oc
casion to bond ourselves for other enter
prises of much moro valuo to tho town
and wo had better hold ourselves in 10
sorvo for them
Chas II Johnson 1 am in favor of
one thing and ono thing only For tho
city to buy ti complete now electric light
plant and run it in connection with tho
city waterworks Am utterly opposed
to any deal whereby tho old electrio
light plant shall bo worked off onto tho
city nt nuy price
Mayor Simpson I have long been
in favor of municipal ownership of gas
wnter electrio lights etc Whether it
would bo wise for Norfolk to undertake
the purchase of an electrio light plant
just now I am not prepared to say I
must have more information as to what
is definitely proposed boforo I can pass
judgment upon the question
h O Mittelstadt Not iu favor of
takingold plant Must have a new ono
if any and then only if it is connected
with tho waterworks so that ono set of
men can run them both I am not in
JkS
THE NOKFOLK NRWS THURSDAY APK1L 27 18JW
favrv of bonding tho city any moro at
the pro out time Wo should reduce
present indebtedness Unit of all It is
poor business policy to be bonded tip to
tho last cent
1 A luikart If the city is to buy
mi electric plant it should purchase tho
old one Men of enterprise aud busi
ness push put their hard cash into it
that wo might haven modern up to date
city and they should have a fair com
pensation for their material 1 am in
favor of city ownership of the electric
light if the city will handle all the com
mercial as well as street lighting There
should be no freezing out of tho ptesciil
plant owners I beliovo that street
lighting alone carried on by the city
would prove more epensio than it is
now
Burt Mapes I believe in municipal
ownership of franchises 1 think it
would bo a good thing for tho city to
own an electric light system providing
thero can bo voted a miflleieiit amount
of money to do tho city and commercial
lighting properly We aro limited by
Matties to it bond issue of per cent
on tho amount of the last annual assess
ment That was illSl This will
provide 71I0S Again wo are limited
to a levy of two mills to provide for op
erating purposes This gives us about
Im0 Certainly if the old plant now
being used can bo putchased at a fair
valuation lie city ought to buy it
