GIVES FIGURES ON
CITY LIGHT PLANT
Understood That Engineers
Report Does Not Favor Es-
tablishment of City Plant.
REPORT A LENGTHY ONE
Albert Buys Was Employed by
Trade Board to Estimate
Cost of Light Plant.
REPORT A LENGTHY ONE

Although the directors of the
Board of Trade last night received
the report of Albert Buys, the elec-
trical constructing engineer who has
been conducting an investigation to
estimate the cost of maintaining a
municipal lighting plant in this city,
1t has been decided to retain another
responsible electrical engineer to GO
over this report before it is submit
ted to the public.
The report was a lengthy one and,
although Secretary Hugh Lynch, of
the Board of Trade, intimated that
no conclusion could be drawn from 1t
directly as to the advisability of es-
tablishing city-controlIed lighting
plant here, 1t is understood that in
the opinion of the consulting engi-
neer is unfavorabIe to the project
owing to the high cost of mainte-
nance.
The action of the directors of the
trade board was prompted by a de-
sire to set the real facts of the mat
ter before the public,aand rather than
depend wholly upon the findings of
one engineer, it has been decided to
retain another engineer, and possibly
two, to insure the elimination of any
discrepancies that may be found in
the initial report.
Alderman William Hilker, who
fathered the municipal lighting pro-
1ect, was interested to learn what
action had been taken by the Board
OF Trade directors on the report of
Mr.. Buys. He declared that the city
aldermen resented the actions of the
Board of Trade in taking upon them
selves the duties of Board of
Censors" in this matter.
Albert Buys, the engineer who
submitted the report last night, was
retained by the Boald of Trade
March 19 to render report and esti-
mate OF the cost of maintaining the
proposed municipal lighting plant,
and he has been conducting his inves-
