CHEAP
ELECTRIC SERVICE
Franchise For BraRdyWinc
GaSandEIeCtriC Company to
be Acted on Tomorrow
MERCHANTS INTERESTED

A final vote will be taken tomorrow by
the Street and Sewer Commission on the
question of awarding a franchise 20 dig
trenches for conduits and gas mains and
erect poles I'm all streets Of the city Of
Wilmington TO The Brandywine Gas and
Electric Company.
Two weeks ago it was decided, after
considerable hlibusterng for some weeks
by some Of the commissioners TO take
final vote on the matter tomorrow.
The new company purports to be backed
by the capitalists of the Susquehanna
Power Company which is undertaking a
S2O.OOOOOO project Of utilizing by means
of great dams and giant power plants the
water power of the Susquehanna river.
1t offers to the city of Wilmington gas
at the rate of so cents per thousand cubic
feet TO the citizens and 20 cents per thous-
and cubic feet for municipal lighting pur.
poses. It offers electricity for municipal
lighting purposes at the rate of cents
per lsilowatt and will furnish 500 or more
arc lights at $40 per lamp per year with
the privilege of purchasing the same at
the end of years or renewing the con-
tract from year to year for fifty years
The saving TO the city by the accept
ance of the terms Of the company would
be about $4,000 annually on the present
rates paid
1t is figured that the advent Of this
cheap electric power would mean a saving
Of 100000 to manufacturers who now use
electric power in their plants here
The company further agrees to pay the
city 10 per cent of the gross receipts for
the sale of electricity.
Merely counting the saving made to the
city on lights the company will be pay
ing the municipality more than twice the
amount paid in taxes by all the public
service corporations in the city combined
It is claimed by many who have look,
I ed into the subject that the new com
pany is Offering the city a condition con.
siderably better than municipal owner
ship, because it will be furnishing lights
cheaper than the city would be able Il
produce them and also will be giving
portion Of its electricity profits to thi
city. The larger the supply of current sol,
the greater viii be the share of the city
If all other public service corporation
in the city paid taxes in proportion L

company It IS claimed there would be NJ

is Charged With Assault

When Angelic Villano of Wooddale,
appears in Magistrate Broman's court
it 4 o'clock this afternoon against
serafno Furscio. who is accused Of

stove poker which he intended to use

debt, but the defense claims that the
prosecuting witness attempted to
eriminally assault the defendants wife.
