We have no fear of the Booster

THE FINANCIAL EXHIBIT.
Brief Discussion of the Boosters Boost for Private Instead
of Public, Ownership.

Our readers will, if they also
read the Booster. have noticed
that for the past two weeks that
sheet has been freely dipping into
the awful results of the city own
ing their own electric light plant.
The Booster walls over the ex-
pense OF handling the plant. al
most weeps over the fact that the
business has grown to such pro-
portions that a new plant is among
the necessities OF the future and
expresses the wish that private
parties instead of the public owned
the plant.
We have spent some time and
money this week asc-rtaining the
facts from the records and here
with submit them TO the intelli-
gent citizenship as an answer to
the Boosters boost for private
ownership.
One year ago nearly we said in
opposition to the election Of the
present town board. that IT was
putting the enemies OF municipal
ownership in charge OF our u'ili-
ties. but in spite OF the fact that
these utilities have been IN the
care of men who oppose public
ownership. they have both made
money for the city.
This is true OF the electric light
plant, and for every single month
OF the time it has been owned by
the city it has earned a profit J.
greater amount than capital usu
ally earns for the investor The
figures submitted herewith will
prove this statement.
Now why does the Booster
knockf Is it the inherent DISPOSE
iion OF its editor cropping out. or
IS it the part OF a pre- arranged
plan which has for its prime object
the sale of the plant TO private
parties again? Is the esteemed
Booster working for a fee or is it
merely advocating a return to
private ownership in an effort to
assist friendly syndicate7
The Booster drops its voice to
a low sad refrain and says that it
wishes the advocates of municipal
ownership had to raise the means
tor necessary extensions. Well, for
once we agree perfectly with you.
We wish the municipal ownership
friends had entire control and that
the people wonld trust them with
the matter till they could secure
results, without switching to the
installation OF those who at least

| Fourth, For a period of six months
under the present board with
higher rates we have saved
about 20 per cent on the same
bills.
The above figures are compiled
from the town records and care
has been taken to avoid mistakes.
The showing is not a great one
but is 1t not good one?
Is the fact that a business in
creases beyond the ability of the
plant to care for it a reason why a
man should seek to sell itr Is it
mark of failure when a business
only makes ten per cent. metz
We took over a plant notorious
ly inadequateas a compromise be-
tween the old owner and those
who favored doing business with
ourselves We have improved and
vastly extended the service. We
have extended the hours OF CIV
ing light and have made an aver
age reduction Of 81 per cent. in
the cost OF service. We have in
creased the street lights almost
double and have netted in cash
income over 500 after all is paid.
A pretty fair rerord -
that IS supposed to be run for
cost or thereabouts.
We will furnish but two ex-
amples of the difference in the
cost of electric lights under pri-
vale and municipal ownership:
The present town attorney.
Judge Baxter. a gentleman who
opr osed municipal ownership. was
paying J. w. Beezley sl90 per
month tor three i6 c p lamps in
his residence and now has more
than double that number OF lights
wired IN and has never paid TO ex-
ceed the minimum of Sl.00 per
month. w. Bruce. who was an
advocate OF municipal ownership.
paid Mr. Beezley 50 60 per month
for FIVE l6 p lights in his resi-
dence and now has twice that
number wired in and his light bill
seldom exceeds the minimum OF
Sl.0O per month.
Thus we give the Booster food
for thought. If they can refute
these figures in any respect it is up
to them to do so. In the mean
time the municipality will con-
tinue to give a good service at a
consistent rate, both night and
morning.
By way did we get a morn

arguments has failed to mention

Brooks has been a favorite with
Bureaus and Committee and au-

the first man with whom the Gem

has been with them ever since.
There is no passion or feeling he
does not portray, nor dialect, nor
sound OF animals about the farm
yard he does not initiate. And
with all he has such a delightful
personality and such a magnificent
presence. He is so commanding
and graceful in his delivery that
one cannot but be charmed and
follow him from the humorous to
the pathetic, from the heroic to
the dialect. from Palestine" to
