 The situation presented in Rich mond s no doubt one of the most in tefestns in the United States and the out come will be watched for gener- ally. both by the friends and foes of municipal ownership every where The question is whether municip- al plant. that has cost much more than was the original intention, and which is handicapped in various oth- CT ways, can compete successfully with private company that has ev- cry advantage except in the fact that it has not the contract for street lighting, and more deeply underlying this is the question of the adyisabiI- ity of a municipality undertaking to manage d plant of it's own when in po- sition to secure a favorable contract from Il private company.

tiOn. the contract was let at Sl44h0e. At the time there was great out cry against the methods pursued and most acrimonious contest ensued. At the present time the full investment runs over S2o0,000 and contracts have but recently been let for ad- ditions to the plant to cost $30,o00 more, so that it is estimated that with in q short time the city will have an investment Of d quarter of million, ill startling contrast to the original impression that the plans would re- uuire an outlay Of but $60,o0O or S75,000
 The hardest proposition that t':e plant finds it has to meet is the com petition of the Light. Heat and Power company private concern that formerly had the contract for street lighting. This company is backed by ample capital in the hands of PhiIa- delphia capitalists. The plant @h he- ing rebuilt and will go after the com mcrci&l business-li@ht and power with a vengeance. In doing SD the private company can cut it's rates as circumstances may require, while the city with published and established rates. cannot meet the competition but must rely upon d spirit of patriot ism to give it business. However, i'll many instances, even among those who favor municipal ownership, this patriotism does not go to an extent of losing money merely to patronize the city Some business men claim they cannot afford to use the city plant. so much heavier are the bills produced by it when compared with those of the private company.
