sat in the game. To the public at
large the bonds were sold at par.
But the four prominent citizens who
sat in cut up between them the mod
est little sum of $1,000. OF course
that has nothing to do with the trusts
efforts to get the city plant 1t is Just
a side issue made possible by the dc-
tions of the trust and because there
was no law against it.
.The city began operating the plant
August 1, 1902, when the ten-year con-
tract with the Richmond Light, Heat
and~Power Company had two years to
run. The policy was adopted Of not
buying additional arc lights from the
Richmond Light, Heat and Power Com
pany, but whenever occasion arose TO,
additional arc light this was furnished
by the municipal plant. The number
OF these llgntS, however, was 1nCOnSlQ
cradle and the city continued to pay,
under its contract, the sum of $50 for
each arc light until September, 1904.
Trust Cuts city's Rates.
The municipal plant made a SEIZED
ule for domestic and commercial light
ing that was considerably less than the
prices charged by the Richmond Light
and Power COmDany for the Sama SAP
vice. Then the trust got busy and
made rates 10 per cent below the
nrices charged BIZ the municipal plant,
The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1906-11-28

made special contracts and INDUCED in
other Standard Oil methods for the
purpose of making the citizens dissat
isfied with the municipal plant. Au-
gust I, 1905. the contract with the
Company for the lighting of the streets
of Richmond, expired and the city
plant took up that work 1t lighted
the streets one year for about Sc a
light. Now the city plant is charging
the city about SIS light, but it is sim
ply taking money out of the one city
pocket and putting it into the other
because, as stated at the /aginning of
this dispatch, the city treats its light
ing plant, just as if it were a separate
corporation, instead of making it one
of the department of the city service
Grab Bill in Legislature.
Now all this time, understand, the
trust was not on the trail of the city
lighting plant. 1t was in the trusts
way, was a competitor and il the
trust could down that competition it
could stick up prices and make a lot
of money. 1t made no move toward
buying the plant Not the smooth
old trust But at the last session of
the General Assembly it introduced a
bill authorizing common councils to
appoint three non-partisan appraisers
who could fix the value of the city
lighting, water or other public service
plant. On that appraisement the
Council was to have power to order
the sale of the plant without consult
ing the people.
In palmer and uglier words, the
trust could elect a Common Council
that Council could appoint three of its
creatures to fix a price on the munic.-
pal plant, then the trusts Council
could sell the plant to the trust.
A number OF prominent citizens,
leading bankers and genuine all
around patriots from Marion, Logans
port, Muncie, Richmond and other
places went to indianapolis to lobby
that bill through. AS was stated in

rem G. Sayre, of Wabash, who was i'll
the Lower House, put a joker in the
bill requiring that a vote of the peo'
pie decide whether or not the sale
should be consummated, and that bill
died-the patriotic citizens, leading
bankers, etc, had no use for it if the
people had anything to say about the
sale of their property"
In conclusion, the News tells of the
efforts of Edwin E. Witherby of New
York, representing the trust, to buy
the city plant last spring, and of the
city's refusal to consider the offer.
Summing up the Richmond electric
light situation, the News says:
There you have the whole thing.
The trust could not put the city plant
out of business.
The trust could not, by aid of the
pose of the plant.
