These figures show that the nc.
tual additional outlay in money for
tho proposed lights will be only two
hundred and sixty one dollars moro
than we are paying now for light
that VIC don't get. If this estimate
is only half Way correct it is clearly
seen that we can well afford to give
the Company a guarantee of S72O
per year for light and this guarantee
properly guarded,shoul ext end over
a period of several years.
Without this guarantee it is almost
certain the plant cannot be built and
no town can afford to allow new
enterprise like this to be driven out
OF the community for the sake of a
few hundred dollars. For good,
constant street lights all over the
town each night of each week, seven
hundred and twenty dollars is cheap
enough, but we actually get it for
