Power for Electric-Pla

A good deal of figuring is going on in
municipal circles with reference to the
cost of an electric-light plant. The esti-
mates run from $4,000 to S125,0OO accord
ing to the systems adopted.
II is conceded that for the latter sum
really splendid plant can be putinto opera
tion-a plant which will give us street
lamps of 2,OOO-candle power. We have no
such lights in Richmond now.
While steam-power is possibly more re-
liable than water-power, inasmuch as we
can have q duplicate set of engines and
boilers TO relieve each other, and they will
never be affected by freshets, there are one
or two water-power sites talked about
which, in the judgment of some. would
do very well for our purposes. and would
lessen the cost of the plant by as much as
fifteen or twenty thousand dollars.
While the advocates ofmunicipal owner
ship are incorporating in the opinion
that the policy which they advocate should
be adopted at once, they would take a
years time to set the machinery in motion
The idea that the city should wait until
electric-light machinery is perfected
finds little favor. We have been making
gas here forty years. Each year during
that time there have been improvements
in the processes of manufacture. and per
lection has not been reached yet. We have
no assurances that electrical development
will be any more rapid.
What we are going TO do we should do al
once.
IL there is TO be money made out o.
electric light. let the city make it. But fol-
our ownership of the gas-works and the
revenue derived therefrom, we should
have to raise taxes.
When we come to light the streets by
electricity (Which as an outdoor light il
cheaper than gas) the gas-works will b'
relieved of burden and the price of ga
can and no doubt will be reduced from
&I.5O to S1.25 per thousand cubic feet.

which shortly before its death was on exhibition
AT a HAgerstown (Md.) fair. Ola sorrel, de-

OF the next Democratic National Conven'

Nothing occurred at that dinner, or has
since occurred, so far as we know, to CON-
NIT Hull in favor of CLEyELASD's nomina-

would be presumption extraordinary for
