Several years ago there lived in
v:the town OF D good lady,
whose deeds of charity we're dis
pensed with lavish hand to both
white and black. Among the
SOrmer she bad one pensioner who
made her frequent visits, whom
we will call Casey. Casey was al
ways in some financial trouble.
He lived several miles south of
D, in the knobs. His sole pos
session was an acre or so of knob
Hand and little log cabin. By
some means, unaccountable to
Casey, he lost his cabin by fire,
and being about time to make his
2benefactress (whom we will call
Mrs. nj. a visit, he took his staff
in hand and started, knowing full
well the hearty welcome that
awaited him at the end Of his
Journey.
Arriving he received a hearty
welcome and after having partook
~of heartier meal he told Mrs. NJ.
his recent trouble, in the usual
sympathetic twaDg, peculiarly used
@y the knob people. The good
woman hustled around and raised
min several dollars, amounting up
iHto the 'steens. When she had
presented the money and he had
carefully counted it, he said:
"Weel, Mrs. NJ, I'm very much

The City Of Philadelphia for many years ~.
aged it's own public lighting plant Notv,,h-
standing that gas was sold 70 private consurns-,
giving to the City the benefit of profits deri,,.s
therefron, the result was that the manufactrra
and sale of gas was conducted at such an s,o
nous loss that the City was glad to abando,
the same and lease it's plant to private cor
poration.
In December 1901 the City OF Worcesfsr IN
vestigated the question OF municipal ownership
The Committee appointed to make injuries oh
tanned reports from a number Of municipalities,
engaged in supplying electricity with rlunict-
pal plant. The result Of the inquiries made VA.
that the average cost per lamp hour OF tba
street arcs furnished oy the municipal plants in
the State of Massachusetts. as shown by the r.
ports Of the Board. was, for a 500 Watt Iaron
4.5Sc per lamp hour.
At the present bid Of the New York Edizo,
Company, standard lamp at 41OO hours
per annum costs 3.J6c. per lamp hour
The result. therefore, OF the Phlladeiphia
Worcester and Boston agitation justifes the
conclusion that the Consolidated Gas Company
has in the past and viii in the future supply the
City with municipal lighting OF every kind Al a
far less expense than would result from any
municipal ownership
I only desire further to say that the public
lighting of the Consolidated Gas Company ia
less than four per cent of it's entire business
and that taxes were levied on the property Of
that Company and the companies associated
with it last year I'm the sum Of s2.229 1j6 a sum
which will be found TO be far in excess OF the
entire revenue derived by the City OF PhiIa-
delphia from the lease Of its plant to a private
corporation. The Consolidated Gas Company
has been at all times ready and Will always
continue ready to carry public lighting into new
districts fully apprecatins that its interests ara
bound up with the interests Of the City. and
that nothing assists so much in the Develop
ment and settlement of new territory as proper
public lighting, and that Company cheerfully
bears the loss arising from such Improvements
because they tend to the growth and develop
ment of the City and in the settlement OF new
districts whose residents become customers os
the company.
