| have read your editorial OF last

With deep and personal interest.

that runs to waste past our town

W., so that even the reduced rate
quoted is between 400 and S00l
per cent OF the cost. Enought TO
stampede the town to construct it's
own plant, II only the people woulc

plant is nothing compared with
what the people pay. | presume the
charges for power TO pump for your
water plant would approximately
pay the interest on the cost of
our power plant A profit of one
or two cents on power to- private
houses and firms would take care

This kind comes from the slushbuc-

tended to do just what IL does do
to large extent. viz. dope the
minds of the unthinking. The
and maintenance of a
plant of any kind
is an engineers job, pure and sim

that local capital will cut prices
