In your committees report, they fig
ure for a city plant, 1900 candle power
lights, at an estimated cost OF $54.45
for II o'clock lights and $71.95 for all
Knight lights
The offer made by the Kennebec Light
& Heat CO., to the members of your
committee for 1900 candle power lights,
u o'clock lighting, is $64 per light. and
for all night lighting was $7250 per
light, so that at first chances, the diff
ference in saving for a city plant over
the offer of the company is very little.
Your committee reports that a city
plant installed ready for operation in
GLIDING 10 light dynamo. II miles of
poles. 20 miles of wire. and SO arc double
engine. boiler and power house, will
cost $6475.
\. lille it - possible for such a plant
to be installed for such a sum, we do
not think that any private company nor
the city of Gardiner could successfully
operate a plant installed in such a
manner. For instance, the city of Wa
tervilie about five years ago put in its
own plant, consisting of dynamo poles,
wires and So are street lights. 1900
candle power. at a net cost to the city
of $l3.40l. The only difference in the
cost of a plant today and five years ago,
would be in a few items Copper wire,
labor. and poles cost the same today
as they did four years ago. The dyna-
mo and lamps can be bought for some
20 per cent less, but excepting the two
latter items. the cost of a plant today
would be the same as five years ago. 1t
stands to reason that if the plant at
Waterville So lights. cost $l3,40l that a
plant for Gardiner. extending to South
Gardiner some five miles extra pole
line, could not be put in successful
operation for the sum estimated by
your committee $6475 being less than
half the cost of the Waterville plant.
We submit the following as the cost
of city plant being such as private
company going into the lighting o. a
city would install, and with only the
necessary spare apparatus to insure a
fairly perfect service:

The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-10-30


ITO your tents, o, Israeli" The
day approaches when every patriot
should do his duty. This election is
not for party, it is for principles; a
vote for humanity against plu-
tocracy, is not politics, it is patriot
ism; vote for the classes against
the masses is not patriotism it is
selfishness. Let all the people who
love their country better than they
do its rich corporations, vote togeth-
err. Let them not only vote, but
work. Give day to patriotism.
Follow the example of the Columbia
business men who will close their
stores and work for their country.
Read the names of these business
men, published elsewhere in this
issue. Work and vote and pray
that the rule of the plutocrats, the
trusts and the combines, may have
an end.
