Municipal Ownership.
Experience ofSome Progress
sive Cities and Towns in
Getting Water and Light.
From Macon, Ga. News.

- AOAh NkoSOhy Ia. NSWS.
1t is an easy matter, with the
evidence at hand these days to
point the way for Macon, in the
crisis that is soon to arrive by
expiration of contracts in regard
to water and light. There can be
no question as to the propriety
OF going into municipal owner
ship. All progressive cities are
going that way and many of
them have been successful in the
business for years.
Atlanta makes nearly 100 per
cent per year in profits on it's
waterworks and Augusta pays
every cent of city salaries, from
mayor to dog catcher with it's
profit from the same source.
Both of these cities have done
so we'll with waterworks that
they are thinking seriously of
going into the light business.
Already each has had plans
drawn and estimates made for
lighting plants.
Chairman Kent, of the Angus
ia city council, who is in charge
of the municipal lighting plant
movement oyer there, has writ.
ten a number of letters to may
ors about municipal ownership.
Most of the replies to his letters
are concerning light plants as
nearly every city, but Macon
owns its own waterworks.
Mayor Horsey, of Athens, in
letter to Mr.. Kent, says:s
"In reply will say that Athens
does not own her power plant,
although | think we should, and
we are looking forward to max
ing an effort to do so very soon.
1t seems to me that some of the
most important facts connected
with this question are, that if
it pays private corporations to
invest in this it most assuredly
would pay the cities, for they
would not make such investments Is
unless good profits were attach
ed to them. Again it is as essen
tial for a city to own her electric
power as it is her waterworks.
There is in all cities q demand
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1907-05-04

for more lights than they have
the money to give, consequently
if by public ownership cities can
even give greater number of
lights for the same cost, it makes
it the duty to do so."
Mr.. 9. @. Mcmahon, secretary
OF the mayor of Mobile, has the
following to say on the subject
"When our last contract with
the local company was about to
run out We agitated the question
of municipal plant, and went
so far as to get up specifications
and advertise for bids. The com
pany had franchise allowing
them to charge as much as 25
cents per K. w. a., and now We
have an agreement for a period
of ten years providing for net
maximum commercial rate of
cents per K. w. H. (Which is a
very low rate) and a municipal
rate of $50 per annum for all
night every night arcs for street
lighting purposes. They are
also to pay us Q per cent of their
gross receipts"
Thomson, Ga went into the
municipal lighting business over
two years ago and as a result is
now reaping a rich harvest. The
city gets it's lights free and
enough profits are made in addi
ton to paying all interest charges
on the light plant as we'll as the
waterworks system. Here is
what Mayor Ira Farmer says
about 1t in a letter to MIR. Kent:
In reply will say that we put
in a municipal plant in the early
part of 1905, and it has now been
in operation little more than
two years. During that time it
has paid all expenses of opera
ton, paid the interest on the wa
terworks bonds, and given the
town its street lights absolutely
free. We do not do as some
other towns that operate muni.
cipal plants, turn over to the
managers of the plant the value
OF the street lights, but require
the plant to give the town it's
lights free, and make it's operat-
ing and all other expenses fro M
the commercial lines. This it
has been able to do and will con-
tinue to do, unless something
unforeseen should occur.
In regard to rates charged
the consumer, will say that we
use the same rate charged by the
electric light company of your
city.
From the foregoing you will
see that we have the benefits of
{ ctric lights in our homes,
places of business, etc, and only
pay the rate you people pay in
Augusta, and at the same time we
have our streets lighted without
taxation-other than what is
paid by private consumers for
lights"

Honduras and Nicaragua. which may
Eventually involve other Central
American counties, the following
from the Nashville Banner, seems to
be the nearest to the real truth of the
matter:
The war between two of the Central
American republics is another pifiable
exhibit of the weakness and incapacity OF
the people who live in these petty
nations They have no power OF sustain
ed cooperation. no genius for govern
ment and give themselves over to small
politics and ignoble strife.
The people of Central America are all
stock. Their homogeneity is greater than
that of the people of the United States.
They all speak the same language and
they all have the same religion. Their
country is isolated. having wide oceans
on both the east and west. and the long
and narrow Isthmus of Panama separates
them from the continent OF South Amer
lea. Mexico to the north is their only
neighbor.

to design II to be. Central Ameriee would
