WICkLIFFE WORRIED ABOUT
ELECTRIC AND WATER PLANTS

Trouble seems to have come over
Wickliffe's Municipal Light ana Water

the following story concerning it:
There is an element here now
that Is in favor Of raising the city
water and light rent to an outrage.

sary IN order that these plants nav
their expenses, but many are oppos.

In the FIRST place, the monthly state.
meni Of the superintendent OF these
plants shows that the item az coal
alone is $500 per month and that Of
salaries slG5. Since this includes no
wiring laying OF pipes, and labor
for same, It can easily be calculat.
eel thar $t00 per month will not
more than bear the running expenses
1f this plant. The income from an /
sources is less than $3.50. therefore
I can be seen that the plant is losing
$50 per month at the lowest calcuia- /
ion. What is to be done? In the |
irst place the item of coal is entirely /
90 much; that's The first thing to
