CITY POWER

QUICK RETURN

1T is not necessary that a mum
icipal power plant must be in
operation for several years before
reductions in electric rates are
granted consumers or profits are
earned by the plant" Evan T.
HeWes. president Of the Imperial
Irrigation district said Monday.
Remsen, Iowa, established its
own municipal light and power
plant in 1888 and the results at
the end of the first year of oper-
alton were extremely gratifying to
residents of that city, states a
bulletin at irrigation district head
quarters.
In that short period of time the
plant had reduced rates fer cleo
trio current from II to cents per
XVIII, and gained a net profit of
over $4,000 The bulletin adds that
prospects for the future seem very
promising in this Iowa city.
"All American canal power dis
tribution kept completely in the
hands of this District will bring
to us the same results as are to
be found in other sections OF the
country. These are lowered rates
for use of electricity and surplus
profits for the benefit of the dis
trict, and We will not have 20
wait several years for this to hap
pen but we will notice the benefits
of such change Immediately af-
ter 1t becomes operative here

"The whole thing will be on
