CITY OWNERSHIP PAYS.
Immense Saving Made in the Light
ing of the City

Topeka's new lighting plant is proving
an excellent investment
When the proposition to ref1t the city
plant with new electrical machinery
was made an attempt was made to have
the city plant abandoned and the light
ing let by contract. 1t was argued then
that it would cost more to operate the
plant than contractors would ask for the
same kind of service. The lowest offer
on contract was $50 per light by the year.
The councilmen did not seriously con-
slider the proposition to change the
system and the experience with the new
machinery proves that they were wise
The cost of operating the city plant
counting salaries of employees and all ex-
penses was only S3.15 per light last
month which at the same ratio would
make only $3.50 per annum for each
light.
average may run as high as 81 per month
but that would only be S48 a year while
the private company asked $50 for the
same service.
