ALL IN FAVOR OF
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Great Majority of Taxpayers Against
City Buying Electric Current

men OF the City OF OcaIa:
We, the undersigned citizens of
Ocala, favor a municipal electric
plant and are unalterabIy opposed,
both for political and business rea-
sons, to the city buying current. at
any price.
With municipal ownership We have
eliminated private interests from
city politics.
We are in favor of municipal own
ership, even at the present cost Of
current, but, taking the report of
our light and water works commit
tee, a new plant combining water
works and electric plant, will provide
current, on our own terms and I'M
der our own control, at less rate
than offered by any bidder.
Municipal ownership means that
Ocala has an option ON all future
Improvements in steam and cleo
tricity; contracting for current
means that the contractors will have
these privileges.
