LIGHTS AND WATER
DISCUSSED BY THE
CITY COMMISSION
Manager Has Lot of Information as
To Cost of Plants and Cost of
Producing Current

me water and light situation was
discussed at considerable length at
the semi-mOnthly meeting of the city
commission Monday, but no action
was taken.
Manager Price was present and re-
ported that he had gathered a great
deal of information concerning the
initial cost of water and light plants
and the cost of running them since
the last meeting of the commission,
and while he had not had time time
to assemble the information in shape
to present to the commission for con-
sideration he felt much encouraged
by the information he had obtained
and would have it in shape to pre-
sent at the next meeting. He said
that he believed that a plant ade-
quate for the needs of the town for
many years to come could be install
ed in duplicate for about $4,000,
although the cost might be greater
than this or less. his estimate being
based upon the cost of the latest type
OF high-grade equipment. The cost
of producing current would range
from three cents to four cents a kilo-
watt, and while he did not so state,
it is believed that if it can be pro-
duced for this amount consumers
would, by installing their own plant.
get a considerably lower rate than at
present-perhaps 12c kilowatt for
lights and perhaps eight cents for
power.
The quality Of water that is being
supplied was also discussed at length,
and the commissioners were of one
accord that the town should have
better water and that if it We're sup
piled the water department could be
made sclf-sustaining and of great
convenience to the people everyone
at present being compelled to main
tain Cisterns or tanks or carry their
water for household use from shall
low wells. II was suggested that
the towns shallow wells, which sup
ply a good quality of water, might
be put in use by cutting them off two
or three feet below the surface so
that the water would run into a large
reservoir, from which it could be
pumped to the tank. While there
are some difficulties in the way of
doing this, the idea seemed to meet
with general favor
