Favors Bond Issue.

Why do favor the proposed bond
is sue for the establishment OF an
electric light plant?
Because l believe in the munich
pal ownership of public utilities
such as water and lights; because l
believe same can be operated by our
city in connection with our water
works system 10 great advantage
to our city and our citizens from a
financial standpoint.
Journals devoted solely 10 stats
ties of cities and towns show con-
clusively that the most progressive
cities of Europe and America make
"A success of such matters.
The most wonderful city in the
country-Chicago-Is now operating
it's own electric light plant and saw
ing, in the cost of city lighting
alone, more than the sum of $500, 000
annually. Mayor Harrison attrib-
uted his recent reelection to his adj
yocacy Of municipal ownership OF
public utilities and the success of
their city light plant.
We need not go out of our own
state to find a city plant successful
ly operated. Greenville owns and
operates, with great saving to her
citizens, light plant, and does this
without the division of expense that
we would have by running ours in
connection with our water works
plant. The citizens OF Greenville
enjoy the advantage of thirty-one
arc lights on their streets and a
maximum rate of 90 cents for To-
candle power incandescents, where

tricaI machinery and have no hesi-
fancy in stating that plant can be
established with the amount asked
for sufficient to give the city a great
deal more light than we have at the
present time or can have under the
present system Of lighting.
Electric supply people without an
exception say that with the modern
up-to-date dynamos our plant, In
GLIDING latest improved engine, dy-
namo, and all necessary supplies,
for circuit, can be put IN for less
than eight thousand dollars.
If our city can afford to trust the
management of the water works
plant to the honorable committee
on water and light, why not trust
the same committee with the light
plant. The able management and
work of the present plant is all done
by our own citizens, then why not
the same conditions prevail If the
city should own and operate plant.
Under the present system we are
| practically without street lights and
are furnished ineandescents at a
maximum of Sl.25 per l6-candle

WAXAHACHIE is turning herself
loose to entertain the Texas Press
Association which meets there in
annual session May DIST and 22nd.
One of the attractive features to the
single man is a carriage ride over
the city, each editor to be accom-
panied by a winsome yOung lady OF
about l2S pounds, the average weight
of the Waxahachie girls, SO says
the local papers. Fact of the bust

wives are not with them will enjoy

The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1903-05-02

The city OF Waxahachie pays an
nually approximately the sum Of
one thousand dollars for her lights,
or about twice as much as the in
terest and sinking fund would be on
900 IN bonds. Now then, some
may say that the city would have
TO incur other expense on account Of
the light plant. If so we would have
about 500 saved from present price
To start with. After installation of
plant | hold that the additional ex-
pense OF operating same would
amount to very little outside Of
what could be done by those oper-
ating the water works,
It's not contemplated by the
friends of the proposed bond issue
that this amount would be sufficient
to install "A plant in keeping with
the needs of the city at this time,
but simply to be a foundation, as IL
were, upon which we could grad.
ually build until In time the whole
city would be covered by the sys-
tenn.
l hear this objection from some of
the opponents: that it will take
s25, 900 to SAC, 900 for this purpose.
In answer TO this have to say,
that the same objection was urged
about ten years ago against the es-
tablishment of city water plant,
the original outlay for which was
less than $4,000; even less than the
amount asked for for the light plant.
Is there a citizen of our city who
would now contend that said invest
ment forthe foundation of our water
plant was "a bad investment? Had
we waited until the city could have
put $40, 900 into the system at one
time we would now be without this
great plant; and said plant will
stand as a monument TO the bust

q - THE VOTERS OF WAXAHACHIE:
, In view of the approaching cleo
ton to determine the issuance of
S., 900. 90 In bonds for the establish
ment of municipal light plant, we,
the undersigned citizens and tax
payers of the city desire to direct
your attention to the matter, and to
Npresent what, in our opinion, are
ssfficient reasons for voting against
TIE proposition.
( If there were no question about
the expediency of the city engaging
in this enterprise in view of the ex-
perience of other cities of Texas
III making the same attempt, the
fact that the sum proposed will be
sufficient to provide q plant and
equipment only barely sufficient TO
provide service for the immediate
vicinity Of the square and would
leave the people in the main resi-
dence portions of the city unprovid-
ed for, although burdened with their
proposition Of the additional taxa
ton, would present condition Of
inequality that in itself would iusti-
fy vote against the measure.
But the reason that should be suf-
fcient in our judgment to cause the
rejection Of the proposed issue is
the present financial condition Of
this city.
At the present time the statement
of our indebtedness compiled from
official sources is as follows:

1t must be further remembered
