CHEAPER FOR CITIES TO BUY THEIR
ELECTRICITY.
Private Corporations Manufacture
Light and Power More Efficiently.
Judging from statistics, many NUM-
cipaltes in the state, particularly the
smaller cities, that own apd operate
utilities, are finding it more to their
advantage to buy electricity for power
and lighting purposes than to manu-
facture it," said II. l.. Geisse, Sec'y.
of the railroad commission in com
menting on an incre asng list OF the
cities that have contracted with large
.lyate companies to supply them with
current in place OF generating 1T them
selves.
at is evident that there is an advan-
tage in purchasing the power for the
reason that the number OF places that
have switched from local manufacture
otcurrent to the purchase OF current Is
rapidly increasing from year TO year
In fact 1t is not hard to prophcsy that
within short time we will supply
current to practically all OF the small
or ones
