Depreciation Of the Electric Plant In
Minnesota Town-Interestina Holdup.

Depreciation Of the Electric Plant In
Minnesota Town-Interesting Ho!dup.
The burning down of the municipal
electric light plant of East Grand
Forks, Mimi, has probably settled the
question of its abandonment which
was under discussion prior to the fire.
A well informed correspondent writes
that the plant has furnished a some
what Indifferent service and did not
earn enough to pay the fuel and labor
accounts, to say nothing about inter-
est on Investment, depreciation. etc"
in spite of its charging private custom
ers $120 year for 100 c. p. arcs on
moonlight schedule.
AS East Grand Forks is n border
town and right across the line in
North Dakota Ga prohibition state} is
the city of Grand Forks, about 80 per
cent of the business houses in East
Grand Forks are saloons. Many Of
these got their electric lights from
private company in Grand Forks, be-
cause the service was better and the
price lower, until the council passed a
resolution to the effect that no saloon
would be licensed unless it patronized
the municipal plant.
There is q curious discrepancy be-
tween the various reports as to the
value OF the plant. In January the
city authorities reported that the plant
had cost $4,000. Three months later
they estimated the fire loss at $4,000,
although we understand that the plant
Is entirely destroyed, and adjusted the
loss at $1,000, the plant having been in
sured for $8,400. AS 1t was installed in
1902, 1t looks as though the deprecia-
ton amounted to 81 per cent in five
years, or II per cent year. The plant
will probably not be rebuilt.

ADVISE SELLING OUT.

An Unusually Frank Statement Of
Failure by Board of Public Service.
In an exhaustive report 10 the city
council the board of public service of
Bellefontaine, o., recommended the
selling of the municipal gas plant or
the following grounds:
THE gas plant is no longer necessary
TO and does not furnish any publ.
service
THE mains in the principal street:
are very old and will require in II"
future expensive repairs.
THE plant is in as good condition II
day as it is possible to put the present.
system, and to change the system viii
require another bond issue
THE average price received from the
sale of gas is very little if any lower
than private corporation would give
TO our people, but is as low as any GOV
erning board the people may elect can
make and keep the plant in its present
condition and meet all the require
ments and pay bonds and interest. as
has been the policy of the present
management
-Four years ago it was necessary to
issue $4,000 of bonds to build 4 new
holder and install coal gas bench and
necessary machinery, and another is
sue Of bonds to the extent of ST., coo
to pay overdrafts in the banks. and
$4,000 more to put new mains in San
dusky street before it was paved.
These bond issues should have been
unnecessary if the plant had been op-
Grated with view of self support. but
gas was being furnished part Of our
citizens for much less than cost, and
the remaining citizens, even if they
did not use gas, were compelled to
stand a bond issue for which each tax
payer became equally responsible to
get the plant on its feet And, as his
tory repeats itself, you will find re
quest in the future, as in the past for
bonds to keep the plant in condition
If the price of gas is lowered, and we
wish to say in this connection that
with the election for members of this
board almost year in advance there
are candidates who are grooming
themselves today with a view Of catch
ing popular favor and riding into office
on the promise of cheaper gas, and if
elected on that issue and their prom
iseS and pledges are carried out you
may expect a request for a bond issue
and when we realize that we are ROW
bonded to our legal limit, how will the
money be furnished? And if the plant
is permitted to get in the condition it
was in four years ago, what would it
be worth if compelled to sell it?
rs it right or just to tax those PEG
pie who do not use gas to keep uQ
this plant, either by taxes or bond is
sues, when they derive no service eli
Their personally or as citizens from pub
lie service, from the plant? Is it right
to tax any citizen to keep up some
thing that gives him no return as Il
taxpayer? And on the other hand, is
it right to compel the gas consumer
to build up plant from revenues de
rived from the sale of gas for the pco-
pie? AS the people own this plant
would it not be more equitable to all
the people to dispose of the plant and
with the proceeds furnish a necessity
by installing water mains ana sewer
age accommodation for all citizens?
This, in our opinion, should find favor
from both factions. both Of whom at
present have Just cause for complaint"
