LIGHT PLANT SITUATION.

| Mayor Zimmerman says the city
J canIot possibly lose anything on the
nrpositon of selling the city light
ulsnt. The Mayor rs right in one
sese. but woefully wrong in another.
Th city as a corporate body would
prpably lose nothing in dollars and
ces, but when it is considered from
thstandpoint of the inhabitants and
b,ness interests. everything would
b,ost owing to the removal Of com-I
ution, and the establishment of a
ropoly. And monopoly would be
tresult In spite of Mayor thinner
is honeyed words to the contrary.
y probable the company offering
GUY the light plant, is actuated
ly by desire to show the people
Richmond how cheaply a private
Grafton can furnish electricity.
possible this company believes
citizens of this city are such
az to be deluded into the be-
that 1t is willing to spend over
hundred thousand dollars for
such purpose? Does it believe for
one minute the people who voted for
the light plant to relieve an intoler-
able condition, are now ready to turn
around and vote for return to the
old days of electricity at an exorbit-
ant price? True, Mayor Zimmerman
assures us the company will be bound
down by an iron-clad franchise not to
raise the price of electricity, IL the
citizens will only vote to sell their
plant. And there is the point to the
whole question. The citizens have to
!. -xote. arst 10 sell their plant before the
franchise can be granted by council.
what is to prevent council after OBJ
tanning the citizens consent to sell
the plant, from granting franchise
under which the purchaser of the
plant could charge most any price
II you telephone bank saying you
have cheque for one hundred dol
lars, and ask them to send the money
up to you, and you will give them the
cheque next day, does 1t comply with
your request? No. It will pay you
the money only upon receiving the
cheque. In other words the bank
does not trust your word although II
may know you are absolutely honest
Why, therefore. should the citizens OF
Richmond trust councils promise to
give them a square deal in regard to
the proposed franchise after having
received their consent to sell the
plant?

WINS SCENTS SCANDAL.
VIII Force officials of Sanitary
Utilization COMPANY to Testify.

When the Street Cleaning Department investi-
cation was resumed vest erday morning Wlllam
NJ. WINS chief investigator for the aldermahc
committee. said that the public hearings and ex-
animation OF witnesses would be ended tnls
week. Mr. WINS read a letter from the law
Office Of NicolI, Anable & Lindsay, in which 1t
said that w w Gooch and Walter " Gran
ford president and treasurer of the New York
Sanitary Utilization Company. had received
subpGnas to testify yesterday before the alder
manic committee. but that their counsel had ad-
vised them that they need not respond to the
subpnnas, as there does not appear to be any
authority at law for the issuance Of such sub
poenas.''
Mr. WINS said that he intended to ask the
Recorder Of the county or a Supreme Court Jus
tice to issue subpoena to bring Mr.. Gooch and
Mr.. Crawford before the committee Counsel
read letter from the City Improvement Society
in which it was said that the award by Street
Cleaning Commissioner Magic Of the contract for
the final disposition of garbage at $232OOO a
year to the Sanitary Utilization Company was
public scandal. in that the advertising OF bids
was so delayed that no bona fide bidders would
have time to compete with the company. This
contract was entered into August 1, 1901, and
was still in operation when Commissioner Wood
bury went into office
Mr. WINS read an opinion by George L. Rives,
at that time Corporation Counsel. in which he
said that he believed that the contract with tho
Sanitary Utilization Company void. After
the receipt of this opinion Commissioner Wood
bury had consultation with Mayor Low and
Controller Grout. and il was decided that it was
wisest to continue the contract.
Major Woodbury. took the stand and said that
under contract No. l with the Sanitary Utiliza-
ton Company, which calls for the disposal of
garbage within the city limits the city had the
reserved right to purchase the companys plant
This right was at the termination Of the con-
tract and during its tendency. Commissioner
Woodbury. had knowledge Of the cost of
operating the company's plant nor of what
were the cOmpanys profits Mr.. Woodbury. said
that he had data furnished by colleges where
experiments had been made to show the value
Of the by-products of garbage Asked If he could
give an idea Of the gross profit Of the company
Major Woodbury. said that he had heard that
IL amounted to S505. 900 a year.
Controller Metz said that the entire present
use of Barren Island for rendering purposes
could be done away with 10 the advantage Of the
