MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

Just now the people hear q great
deal shout municipal ownership OF
water and light plants. We believe
In municipal ownership where It can
be accomplished, but@hefoFe we have
municipal ownership there are many
things to consider, IL this city In
condition financially to buy or build
water and light plant? II would
cost any where from 100000 to
$1,000 900 and all talk Of securing the
same al this time 10 for the purpose
Of furthering some ones political
ambitions. and all claims that upon
the result OF the coming city election
will depend the fate OF municipal
ownership are merely bait to catch
the voter. The Consumers company
has standing otfer to turn tn plant
over TO the city at a reasonable price
~ any time the city wishes to pur.
chase. To build q new opposition
plant might bring bankruptcy on the
city because II would be compelled to
earn interest on bonds as we'll as d
sinking fund TO pay on the same.
while the private corporation, rather
than be put out OF business, might
reduce rates TO point where the In
terest would not exceed one or two
por cent That would mean disaster
TO the municipal plant, because we
have never seen people loyal enough
20 pay the city more for thing than
they could buy II for from an individ-
uai or corporation. Price IL what
counts, therefore we say that this ls
not the time for municipal ownership
and the city is not In financial con-
dition 10 float bonds sufficient for the
purpose, because II would require
sum IN excess OF the bond limit and
no one would buy the bonds. For
that reason the talk os municipal
ownership at this time Ia purely POI
litlcal and for political effect. There
are other municipal improvements
needed worse than municipal water
system AZ present. When the time
comes for the purchase Of or con-
atrnction OF a municipal plant we
want 70 see II carried out in the in
terest Of the people.
