BLACKSMITH MAKES A Good mayor
Fanslow of Yankton the Strongest of Advocates in
South Dakota of Municipal Ownership.

Frank Fanslow, mayor OF Yankton.
Is the strongest advocate Of municipal
ownership in South Dakota. He Is now
In the hardest fight he has waged
against private franchises. He is a
blacksmith by trade and by his busi-
ness abilities has built up one Of the
largest implement concerns In Yank-
ton. He was born in Wisconsin in 1862.
In 1877 he came to Yankton and in
1902 was elected mayor and was re-
elected in 1908.
One OF his early encounters with
private franchises was with THE
Northwestern Telephone company.
With the help of influential citizens he
succeeded in organizing local tele-
phone company that now has in the
neighborhood Of 500 phones in the city
and on rural lines. The charter Of the
company makes 1t possible for the city
to buy the system at any time, and
this the mayor hopes for in the future.
During October of the present year
the Yankton Electric Lighting COM
pany became financially embarrassed
and passed into the hands of William
H. Edmunds, Michael Magner and
Carey & Walsh. These men saw the
advantage Of operating a water sys-
tenn with the power wasted at the
electric plant and applied to the city
council for franchise. Mayor Fans
low took firm stand against issuing
any private franchise whatever and
won to his opinion a part of the city
council. The owners Of the plant
made an offer to the city to sell it for
$4,000, which is small fraction OF
the original cost Of the plant, and is
now in good repair.
In the words OF Mayor Fanslow:
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1903-12-10

This 10 the opportunity OF a lifetime
for ysnkton. At present ocr city water
system IL in deplorabe condition.
We have let the contract for new ar
tesian well. but that does not promise
permanent pressure. II we buy the
electric lighting plant we will have
power enough to pump Missouri river
water into the oity and maintain o
pressure sufficient to safeguard the
city sgainst nre.
I'VE viii increase the number Of are
lights ON the streets to fifty and Will
be able to double the number later on
We will be- able to cut the cost of pri-
vate lights squarely in two and we will
improve the service hundredfold. In
place OF Yankton paying thousands
yearly for street lights, the city will
be receiving a substantial revenue
from private lights. We have tried
artesian wells and they have failed.
We have tried private ownership Of
the lighting plant and it has been uyl-
satisfactory. BY the proposed COM
bination we can do away with the
former bad conditions and in their
place will be ideal conditions. IL the
people of the city will stand behind me
and the city council. and l am sure
they will, we will give to the city pure
water, ample fire protection and the
best of lights. l have gone into this
fight for the benefit OF the city OF
Yankton and expect to win"
Mayor Fanslow's program Is to have
a petition circulated for the signatures
of the voters. If a majority sign the
petition he will call special election
to vote the bonds with which to pur-
chase the electric lighting plant. So
far he has received the almost unani-
nous support Of citizens.
