AGAINST FREE LIGHT
MiNOCQUA RESIDENTS OBJECT
CURRENT FURNISHED FREE
Municipal Plant Bridges Gap Between
Church and State and Some Who
Pray Don't Pay.

Minocqua.-Min municipal
electric light plant has developed a
novel addition to the list of vagaries
and abuses practiced when such util-
tiles are under political management.
1t is charged, in formal complaint
to the Wisconsin railroad commission,
that the Minocqua light plant has
bridged the gap between church and
state by supplying churches and par
sonages with light current free of cost.
Free, that is, to tae churches and par.
sonages Taxpayers foot the bills,
or not.
Among the other items in the COM
plaint-filed by taxpayers praying for
relief from the railroad commission
are these:
Flat rates are allowed to favored
customers contrary to schedule.
Meters not installed in some buiid.
ings using current: other meters out
of order; meters read by an unbonded
employe of the town who also makes
'oil'NAlollo anu hSSPS ~ bOOh0 vi az
count
Money collected is paid to the town
chairman who refuses to turn it over
| to the town treasurer.
Accounts against consumers not col
lected regularly; many are months in
arrears.
"The town of MnocQua, which owns
the plant, is paid nothing for current
used by street lamps and schools in
the village of Minocqua.
mo system of accounting is in use
and frequent transfers of funds are
made to the electric light fund from
other town funds, so that nobody
knows what the light plant has actual
ly cost nor whether it is or is not
earning it's own way"
