THE DIFFERENCE.

11AL LII LNll NA~AS
Some OF those who oppose municipal ownership OF
Uaterworks and electric light, do these grounds
Il plant won't pay private corporation 10 put
1t in, how it pay the city TO do lt2
The answer to this is complete one TO every ob
lection to municipal ownership It is this>
When private corporation puts in plant it is
necessary TO make it pay at least eight per cent oiv
dends; it didn't the plant wouldn't be paying in
vestment" under ordinary money rates. In town
like Montpelier with say $4,000 plant, this would
$500 year, besides the expenses. IL private
parties float the bons the rate OF earnings must be
ngher for in addition to the six per interest
bonds and sinking fund.- the promoters must have some
thing for looking after the plant say per more
total of $24OO besides the expenses of the plant
Then again, figuring on the expenses, a private
corporation Ia town like Montpelier would have TO
have at least to look after the plant and col
lect the rentals and who could do nothing else Such
could not be had for less than $50 month $500
year The city would require the Chief of Police in
addition TO his other duties, to look after the plant
with salary than he gets, and it could
uure the clerk to collect water rentals at cost of
more than $500 year what he already receives
Assuming that the other expenses would be equal
to both private and public owners up the
difference follows, using $4,000 the basis of
putation: 8
Dividends on private ownership at per cent $780,
IF put in by promoters, $24O0. 4
Municipal bonds at 5 per cent $1,000
Saving by city ownership, on this item, 5000 kn
first case $1,000 in second instance.
Expenses of collection and hooking after plant hy
private ownership $6OO by public ownership $780,
Saving by city plant $500
Allowing say $500 foc both ownershps for other
expenses, we have this result:
Income necessary for private corporation So 500 in
one case %, 200 in the other.
Income necessary for city ownership, 81 ,5oO
Hence plant that would bring in $1,000. couldn't
be protably put in by private capital white the
plant would net public ownership $500, and be good
paying proposition, water rates being equal in both
There is always chance for lower water
under municipal ownership than under private
pany for the city oay needs TO earn enough for actual
comp&ny the water rates would be correspondingly
less.
The only time the advantage is not in favor Of
nicipal ownership in when corrupt officials get control
of the city and this always be remedled by peo
pie, while If private company gets corrupt in it's
charges TO the of water there relief
the public.
