Vim. A. Buddecke Discusses
the Present Lighting Situation
President Of Las ves Railway and Power Company Explains Diff
cutie, Under Which lhs New Company Laboss and Urges
Patience and Consideration From Patrons.

when you consider that what we have
accomplished 20 far. has been done
in less than eight months.
l wonder how many Of the chronic
kickers would have ad the nerve to
do what this company has accomplish
ed today? question whether there
is single Las vegan who ever
dreamed Of such plans a. this COM
pany has laid out.
A successful street railway ana
lighting system - the making Of q
god town: and an unsuccessful street
railway system IL a detriment to =
town, which assertion has been amply
proven right here in Las Vegas.
Therefore, In order to make
this company successful and
give TO the city the best street
railway and lighting system In the
country we are going to run this
company In systematic manner. In
the hrst place we are going to place
every body on the same footing Not
one consumer Ia going to have an al
vantage over the other, everybody
will be charged the same schedule Of
rates, the more current consumed the
cheaper viii his rate be.
Another very successful item for
both the consumer and 4 successful
company IL the installation of meters
wherever current Ii consumed. and
these We will install just as fast ~
we can. AT our expense. No man
that has the success of the company
at heart will object to this. Another
item Of Importance IL lamp renewals
which must be paid for by the con
sumers OF light, which Is not more
than right and proper, and which is .
practice adopted by every lightinf
company In the country.
Some Of our kickers say that oul
light rates are too high, and have
had the audacitv to expect that w
would cut the prices In two. Sncf
demands or even expectations are yer,
| ridiculous. Evidently they DO no
stop 10 think that II costs money Y
bring coal into this town. and tina
all our employees expect their salarie
to be paid promptly, and that all on
other supplies must also be paid 70
promptly. All consumers that wer
