Why Deceive Ourselves?

Let's face the facts about the condition of
the municipal light plant promptly, manfully,
and with business Judgment
Neither evasion of the issue nor postpone
ment of the reckoning will improve the plant or
remove the menace.
The plant is rated one of the best municipality
owned utilities in the United States. Competent
engineers have placed its valuation as high as
ONE MILLION dollars. Every taxpayer of Rich
mon, figuratively speaking is shareholder OF
this corporation. Every user of the utility, be
it for domestic business, office, or industrial pur
poses, is vitality affected by it's efficiency in
efficiency.
On it's efficient operation depend the uninter-
rupted lighting of homes, stores, factories,
and the power for our shops and industrial es-
Establishments. Should the plant, by reason of
neglect in the administration of it's mechanical
equipment or by faulty handling of it's financial
affairs deteriorate, all of us must inevitably pay
for the calamity in poor service and in increased
taxation to pay the interest on bonds floated to
meet the emergency.
Two vital factors for the proper upkeep and
protection of the municipal light plant sug-
gest themselves:
First, there must be sufficient equipment to
assure it's patrons, both domestic and power
users, continuous service under all circum-
stances.
Secondly, there must be established a rate
sufficiently adequate to cover all costs, nclud-
ing overhead, operation and depreciation.
That the plant lacks sufficient equipment to
handle it's present load and take care of the bust
ness that naturally follows the expansion of the
city and it's business and industrial concerns is
well established.
The 1919 peak was within 700 K W. of the
capacity of the plant. If either of the two tur-
bines should be disabled, disagreeable results,

Jus, the name Juliet had it's origin in
the Julian gems that preceded Roman
civilization. Various legends are put
forward to account for julius and his
torians differ widely. but the generally
accepted theory is that julius is the
diminutive for "dius," meaning divine,
and was evolved in the same manner
that Zeus, father Of the gods, came to
be the Roman Jupiter. If such is the
case Juliette may fairly be called a
daughter of the Gods.
The name has been carried to all
nations in various forms. She is
Giulia in Italy and Julia in Russia. In
Brittany she is Suiiana and Juliana in
Spain.
Wednesday is her lucky day, accord
ing to all historical and mystical in
dications, and number five is her
fortunate number.

for our homes and streets, and lack of power, dur
ing the day to operate our factories, would be in
evitable.
Turbines are not indestructible. Their parts
break, just as do the parts of sewing machine or
lathe. Days might intervene before the re-
pairs were made and in the meantime, homes
would be without lights, factories would be fore
ed to close their doors, and workers would be
thrown out of employment.
Logansport suffered severely from the break
down of the light plant last December. The
whole city suffered from the calamity.
AS shareholders Of the municipal light plant
we have been entirely too tolerant in accepting
the reports which officials from time to time
have presented as to the alleged proft-making
ability of the utility. We have not figured the
costs of the plant correctly, and as a result, we
find that instead of making profit, the plant
in reality has been running behind.
In figuring the profits, very little account has
been taken of the wear and tear of the machinery
and of providing money for the purchase of new
machinery, or in other words, the amount of
money set aside each year for depreciation has
been entirely too small.
Today we are face to face with critical sit
uation. New machinery should be purchased,
but the money for the machinery is not at hand.
The plant must have additional units to protect
US, that is, to assure us that we will have light
every night and power every day Of the year to
drive the machinery in our factories, but no pro-
vision has been made out of the earnings of the
plant to supply this money.
The owner of factory knows that his ma
chinery must be replaced sooner or later and
that additional machines must be bought. To
take care of this exigency he each year charges
against the operating costs of the plant sum
sufficient to buy this machinery when it is
needed. This has not been done in the municipal
light plant
The inadequate facilities of the light plant will
cost the city dear. During the war the govern
nent refused to place contracts in this city be-
cause the equipment at the plant was so small
that it had ne assurance that it could guarantee
uninterrupted service.
No heavy consumer of power will come to
Richmond so long as the plant is under-equipped
or rather, to tell the truth, unable to guarantee
to its present domestic and power consumers con-
tinued service under all circumstances.
The condition of the light plant is menace
to welfare. 1t challenges our attention. It
demands remedial measures at once
