Hoover Scored

APPLETON, Wis, Sept. H.
The childish chatter" of
President Hoover's administra-
ton, highly paid ministers,
prohibition enforcement and
unemployment-all these the
Wisconsin conference of the
Methodist Episcopal churches
deplored in no uncertain Ian
guage Friday night.
THE childish chatter of the
administration that the Amer
lean way of life must be pre-
served indicates an incompe-
tency and ignorance which
borders on the immoral in its
evasion of responsibility. Men
want food and they must have
it. But they want the priv
lege of earning their own
food" said the report.

ELECTRIC PLANT
MEETS SUCCESS
Utility Managed by Georgia
Town Boasts Cheapest
Rate in U. S.
BY FOSTER EATON
TInfted Press star CorrexpondenE


CORDELE, Ca, June 12.-Crisp
county has launched a campaign
to widen the availability Of its
hydro-electric power plant to users
of electricity.
The plant has been in operation
ten months and the. management
of this Georgia county project de-
clare that its success has far ex-
ceeded the fondest dreams.
eve are operating here a demon
strated success" Emmett S. Kille-
brew, designing engineer, said in a
general discussion of the project.
I'VE are crossing 100000 annual
income on our outlay of $1,250,0
sufficient to pay operating expenses,
Interest on bonds, and retire part
Of the principal" he said.
The new campaign embraces
eight weeks Of national advertising
to induce new industries to settle
in this county tax free under GER
tain conditions, to enjoy what Kille-
brew asserts is "the cheapest power
rates in the United States"
The campaign also includes an
effort to induce greater local use OF
electricity, especially for heating
purposes.
Competitors Losing Ground
Compared with the annual gross
income Of 100000 which Killebrew
said the plant is now producing, the
Georgia Power Company, formerly
dominant in this field, had a gross
income of $81, 900 in 1929, its best
year.
Today, however, its representa-
tives admit the privately owned
company's revenue annually crosses
only $1,000.
There are about 1850 users Of
electricity in Crisp county taking
power from the publicly owned
plant, "their own plant" Killebrew
said.
Georgia Power Company in 1929
served LOO customers here, but
that list has now shrunk to less
than $50.
To meet the competition of this
county-owned plant, Georgia Power
Company cut its rates below even
the low rate Of the new plant, but
litigation now is pending by which
the two rates in this county are to
be similar, at the level Of the
county-owned plant, which was con-
siderably below the prevailing Geor-
gia power rate at the time it was
first applied.
Ends Fight for Lower Rate
Completion of the plant last sum-
nler brought to a close long fight
for Clover power rates and financial
independence for Crisp county first
opened by Charles E. Brown, late
editor of the Cordele Dispatch, who
died shortly before waters OF the
Flint river first were turned into
the generators.
Browns widow, carrying on in his
stead, has become editor of the Dis
patch and leader in the continued
prosecution of the county power"
project.
First interest payments on the
public bonds hoated with which to
construct the plant was met by a
100000 annual county tax levy,
which, Killebrew said, ultimately
will be discontinued.
