D. c. MUNICIPAL
POWER PLANT
ADVOCATED
Board Finds $35, 600, 900 Unit
Would Save Taxpayers
100000 a Year

AS a result Of a recommends
tion by an engineering survey
board that a municipally-owned
electric power plant be erected In
the District, Congress is expected
to have the matter put directly
up to it, possibly in the 1884 Dis
trict Appropriation bill, which Is
scheduled to be reported out
shortly.
The survey board, according to
announcement made yesterday by
Representative Clarence Cannon
Cd of Missouri, chairman Of
the House appropriations subcom-
mittee for the District, estimates
that such a plant constructed at
a maximum cost Of $35, SOC, 900
would result in an annual saving
Of $4,000 900 to District tax
payers.
Paid For in rs Years
This total saving is based on
the assumption that the mum.
cipal plant would handle the
Government power which costs
$2,517, 1853 and that consumed by
the public which totals $8,259,756
annually.
Under the plan, Representative
Cannon said, the maximum cost
of the plant could be amorti2ed
on a 3 per cent basis in IS years,
when the capital interest charge
would be eliminated and the
plant would begin operating on
a profit to the taxpayer.
A modified plan presented by
the engineers based on tn e
handling of all Government busi-
ness and IS per cent of the less
profitable business now handled
by private utilities would result
in a saving of $1,000,000 annu.
ally, it was estimated.
The survey has been in prog
ress for more than two years and
was authorized under acts Of
Congress of July 8, 1880, Febru-
airy %, 1881, and June 20, 1882.
A total of $4,000 was appropri-
ated for the work.
