ELECTRIC LIGHT OWNERSHIP Advantages and Cheapness of Municipal Control. PUBLIC BENEFITS VERSUS MONOPOLY Martini Scnll.nrnt In 1'nvnr of lloTrrnincnt .MnntgdniMit Instructive Sli tUtlc itlnrtlonnto : I'rlcci ol Klco- trio l.lKl'tliiK' rittur llrtnealcr tn v. /mlrjvnnVnt. . Thu movement toward municipal ownor- * hlp aud control of public electric lighting has. during the past two years , assumed un expected proportions ; that K unexpected by nil save these who had previously Investi gated the underlying forces loading .o such u result. Additional towns liavo sot up municipal plants and others have enlarged nnd extended their service. The phenome non is no longer localized. It extends to almost every state and torrltoiy in tbo union , and a complete list of towns owning and operating their own clcctrlo lighting plants for at least n year would , under a conservative estimate , approximate 150 , while many moro nio nt present providing such Installations. The mayors of no small number of the larger cities Now Yoik , Philadelphia , Haltlmore , Omaha , Now Haven , Atlanta have dis- c-nsfcd lu their annual messages the uuvisii bllity of thu covcrnmuntal assumption of these undoitaliiis. And all this has oo currcd In the fuco of a powerful and persist out opposition from tbo Interested electric lighting corporations. Its explanation must bo sou eh t In the economic principles which Ho at the foundation of the movement. Klnni'iit * Involved In tlio IliMmmlon. Tbo arguments In favor of municipal ownership of electric Hunting I.wo ) not obaiiffcd. They nro lu substance tlio same as have before been sal forth in the Inde pendent , namely , that clcctrlo lighting is ono of the monopolies of sorvlcovnoso tntos nro necessarily precluded ftom the regulative InllueuLO of competition ; that It requires tbo exclusive use of u portion tion of the public streets ; that combination with the other monopolies of service con duces to cheapness ; and that the unearned Increment resulting from the natui.il growth of the city should luuro to thu bonullt of the whole community instead of to the frnn- chlscd corporation , Tbcso propositions hold now as tticy did before and would scarcely Justify u rehearsing , were It not tlmt they nio bclne continually altacited nnd as continually illustrated by now facts. There have been numerous recent'Investigations of thoaub- Joct by different olllcial bodies , vai\Ing in nccurauy and iu scientific value. Tno have been Instigated bv the government at Wash ington and , as far as they go , uiotho most complete aud trustworthy that have jot been mndo. From tlicso I shall mnlto a few excerpts. The ono Is embodied in a report of the euglnocTcommissioner of tbo District contained in Fllty-lirst concrois , second aos- BIOII , senate miscellaneous document 60 , the otbor tbo verv recent rcpoit of the electrical commission printed in Fifty-second congress , first Kosilon , house executive document in.

For.tho Btnlistlcs of cities owning munici pal plants wo must turn to the report of tbo electrical commission , wbuio very complete data have boon complied , althoufrn fiom only n limited number of towns.

As n usual thine the prices paid onoh company , wlioro ovetnl exist , are Identical , but dlfTorontlah nrc somullmcq alloucd for the more distant dl trlct . The history of electric llehtlnp in Now York cltv Is n tv pi en I Illustration of the utter lack of compotltlon. The IlriMli rninpany put up tivcntr-lwo oxporimcotfll nro lights In Jnn > unry , 1831 , nnd soon secured n contract for IHtvllve lamps at ? T,40l ( r ° r nnnum. In 18S3 two compiuilo ? obtained contracts , each at $ . ' Vi fiO oor lluht , nr d this continued to bo the pilro until May. 1S.S7 , iioUvllhslandiiiR Imnrovcnionls and the annual Inrrcato In the number ot lumps employed Several other corporations then pre-empted different dis tricts , and the prices paid haxo slnco varied slightly. In December , IV.n ) , ull thu bids were rejected by the board of electrical control for the reason that ttioy evidenced n combina tion on tlio pnn ot the companies by which competition completely strangled. The new bids were ncccptod , althouRh tliero \ as nouddltlonal show of rivalry. Thcro are now six companies which rcccivo iinntinl contracts , but thu bldsaru only for latnns la their respective terrilones with not oven a pretense at competition. The experience of every othnr larpo city has Rlvon the same re- ' ' sult--ollhcr actual 'cotnb'iti tllon or tacit atrrceinent. The prices ol electric lighting . . . . . nro pureiv monopoly prices unrestrained by tlio ordinary industrial checks. Tviidnncy tn Monopoly. Another phase of the movement which has received renewed affirmation is the tendency of the monopolies of servira to uccuinulate in the same hands. This Is , from an econ omic point of view , Icgitlmatp nr.d doiirnblo ; far it le.ids to economics in supcrlnton Jenco and In the use of mucliitipry nnd huildines. That it is best. If tnoy ute to bo so unltoil , for tlio miitilcipilliy , the source of nil such franchises. to unite them under Its own control Is scarcely uontravurtlblo. Of tlio twenty -nlK'i' ' ' municipal plants men tioned In tin ) Ublo above , llvo nra operated in conjunction wttb water u cults , while qtillo ii number ol piivato companies have combined similar undertakings. At least llvu corporations , if not moro , join olectrlo tichtiug with electric street railways.

Tills scorns to he u verv good beginning for consolidation. If It continue at tlio same rate , It will not bo long until the various monopolies of sor/lco In each city will bo under the control of but one corpora tion. The question nt Issue Is , will it be A public or a private cornoration ! SIEFEHT GOES BACK.
