THE PHILADELPHIA RECORD

In these days Of keen newspaper
competition it is gratifying to observe
that 1.-THE Philadelphia Record still
holds its place as the foremost news
paper of Pennsylvania, q position ii
| has occupied with honor TO itself and
credit to the community for many
yeats Not only does it lead in cir.
culation, hut its influence today is
even stronger than ii has ever beer
b fore, which is saying much, In the
matter of giving the news it is invari'
ably first in the fed, while its edit.
orial page continues to be n powerful
champion of the cause Of the people
Editorially 1.-THE Record ranks
with the best. Its opinions are not
only sound and scholarly, they are
fearless and Independent as well II
truckles to no political power. 1t is
deliberate in its Judgment Of men and
measures affecting public life, and
when those augments are once formed
there is no cq~uivocation. What we
most admire aboat "The Record is
it, backbone.
The success of such Il paper is con
sequently not to be wondered at. 1t
has the people with ii because the
people realize that when it makes n
fight it is fighting for them. This has
4ver been tue Records " policy, to
advocate the things that tend toward
the public good. There have been
times in the past when it has seemed
to even an'agonize its " interests
by taking the unpopular side Of n
controversy, but has eventually de-
monstrated its far sigh'edness by
bringing the public to its way Of think
ing. An illustration OF this occurred
more than a decade ago when, single
handed and in the face of tremendous
opposition, it advocated the introduo
ton of trolley cars into Philadelphia
Looking back, it seems almost incom

Many other Illustrations of the pro

nearer home for evidence on the same
subject, the report just made by Ma
yor William NJ. Roberts, Of Atlantic
Highlands, as the financial results CT
municipal ownership Of the borough's
electric lighting plant, is illuminating.
His report states that the plan has
been in operation eight and a hnlf
years. The total income from in
clrdescept or commercial lighting for
the full eight fiscal years (leaving out
the half year as a matter of convent
ence in figuring has been 1926 GS?.11

years, Including interest on bonds

TIE total operating expenses for the

the operating expenses over the iu-
come for the period mentioned has
been S25, 1856. "a, which represents the
EXPENSE TO the bor0u Gil for the light
ing Of is streets. The street lights
are arc lights Of 2 900 candle power.
Sixty arc lights were use the first
year. Extra lights have been added
as the need required, until 10Y there
are seventy five arc lights in use. The
average plumber of lights for the
eight years has been seyenty-one,
making an avera &c cost Of SIS As per
light per year since the plant has

Mayor Roberts added to the cost Of
operating s 5000 for depreciation of
the Liant. This addition bring. tie
total cost Of street lighting mp to
$50 10 per light per year.
Before the erection of the municipal
plant, a private company had offered
to light the borough at a cost Of $50
per arc lamp, aud therefore Mayor
Roberts reaches the conclusion that
the municipality has saved s24. % per
light Der year by owning its own
plant, making a total profit of $40 400
for the eight years. The first cost of
the plant was S15, 900, so that in eight
years the borough has sa"ed the cost
of the plant and 81, 400 besides. 10
addition it retains in its own hands
O valuable franchise and has the
cheapest rates for incandescent OF
commercial lighting of any munici'
pality in the state. This is almost
fattering showing, and mt better
argument in favor of municipal
ownership of a lighting plant coulc
be made"
