FOR MUNICIPAL CONTROL
Sioux City Agitating the Municipal
Ownership of the Electric
Lighting Plant.

Sioux City Tribune: Serious dis
cussion OF the plan to build a muni-
'cipal lighting plant will be entered
into by the aldermen in coming ses-
sions of the council. Alderman L.
e. Bayne, chairman Of the light
COMMITTEE, said today he would call
up the matter next Tuesday night.
In the street committee meeting
late yesterday afternoon-the question
was Informally discussed, but no
action taken except to defer con
side1atiOn until an early date. Mr..
Bayne suggested if it is the desire of
the city to build a plant, plans
should be made at once as it will
require at least a year to erect it.
The contract for the city lighting
now held by The Sioux City Gas and
Electric company expires in May Of
text year.
Sentiment regarding the erection
OF a lighting plant is favorable, il
the city can see it's way clear 10
obtain the money.
When tee project was under dis
cussion last winter, Alderman Bayne,
who was delegated TO secure data in
the cost Of building the plant, re-
ported that it would be about 1886, 900.
The cost Of operation and mainten-
ance would be about So, 700 a year, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bayne's reports.
To light the streets by private con-
tract, the city pays annually about
$1,000. On the basis Of Mr.. Bayness
figures the city could do this for
s8, 100, or at a saving Of $40, 800
year In five years, it is argued by
friends Of the scheme, the entire
cost Of the building of the plant
could be paid from the amount
saved.
Upon the payment OF the plant the
city would own the plant unencum-
bered, which would be an asset
similar to the waterworks.
In the meeting Of the municipal
league . month ago, a resolution vas
passed indorsing the plant to build .
municipal lighting plant.
