With only Merriam opposing,
the utilities committee voted for
Turney, however, after Aid. Clar-
enee p. Wagner d4th), committee
chairman, reminded them:
Mayor Kennedy approves of
this choice"
1T WAS Wagner who proposed
that the deadline for renewing the
franchise, under which the city
permits Commonwealth Edison to
operate, be extended indefinitely.
Wagner suggested that writ
ten agreement be drawn up pro-
viaing that any franchise which
might be adopted would be retro
active to Sept. II, the day on
which the present 50-year fran
chise expires.
The result OF such action will
be to drag cut committee hear
ings fer such a long tine that
public interest will lessen, and
the power monopoly may be able
to shove through new franchise
under which it can extert huge

but failed to explain that the
rates it quoted were those Of

chosen at private meeting from

franchise be extended indefinitely.
TURNKEY. a lawyer of Washing
ton, D. c., and an 'sold friend" of
Mayor Martin HI. Kennedy, was
named technical adviser.
Booth, who was turned down, is
"a one-tirne law partner of David
Lilienthal, former head of the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
From 1888 to 1899, Booth served
on the Illinois Commerce Conn
mission, regulating rates, under
Governor Henry Horner's Demo-
cratic administration.
He left the ice to work with
the Federal Power Commission,
which maintains interstate control
over power utilities. After four
years with the FPC, he went to
the Office of Price Administration
where he helped the OPA to regu-
late utilities.

which have earned Booth praise
as leading authority on utility
problems, Turney was selected by

compete with the city-owned
system, there is a similar wide
disparity in rates. For Is kill
owatt hours, the private rate
is $1.00, the public, only 80
cents; for f90 kilowatt hours,
the private rate is $685., the
public only $2.65; for $50 kilo-
watt hours, the private rate is
1913, the public only $40.
WHAT would public ewner-
ship mean in Chicago? The
answer is-lower rates.
Private utilities, ON an aver
age, charge 81 per cent more
for Is kAowatt hours than do
public utilities, ~ per cent more
for 100 kilowatt hours, and 20
per cent more for $50 kilowatt
hours.
Eliminate that difference, and
Chicago consumers would pay
only 80 cents for Is kilewatt
hours which now cost them
$1.34. One hundred kilowatt
hours, for which charge OF
$685. is now made, would cost
only $3.50. For $50 kilowatt
hours, for which Commonwealth
Edison charges 1866, a rate Of
$500.
All Of those public ownership
rates are tentative, of course,
but the experience of other
cities indicates that the esti-
mates are reasonably accurate.

BY BILL CARR

6Y Dill NAxta
Monopoly steals $1.16 from
Charles Hayes every time he
pays his electric bill!
To the Commonwealth Edison
Co., the largest private utility
of its type in the country, that
$116 is profit. To Hayes, a
typical clearinghouse worker,
who lives at 3715 S. Wabash
av., it represents a yearly loss
of 1882 in a time when infla-
ton is already eating up his
pay checks.
eff Commonwealth Edison
didn't have their monopoly
here" Hayes declared, Il could
put that money to good use.
Now it's just wasted"
THE CITY COUNCIL is con-
sidering what to do about the,
Commonwealth Edison fran
chise, which expires Sept. 18.
II hope the city takes the
monopoly away from Common
wealth Edison and runs the
power system i ITSELF" Hayes
said. Electricity is too i'm
portant to be monopo1ized by
one company, and the rates are
too high"
He was right. The rates are
far too high. Hayes usual bill
from Commonwealth Edison is
about $500. 1t could be no
higher than $1.74!
THE ANSWER is public
ownership.
More than 3;400 American
cities already are operating
their own power plants, saw
ing their citizens millions of
dollars.
The difference between pri-
vate and public ownership
stands out in cold figures. E1ec-
tric bills in cities where phi
vate monopoly sells electricity
run 20 to 81 per cent higher
than in cities where the power
system is municipality owned.
In Chicago, the Common
wealth Edison Co. pockets that
extra money as profit-out of
your pocket!
HOW MUCH would electric
rates drop if the city were to
take over Chicago's power sys-
tenn? An idea can be gained
from other cities that decided
to junk the private monopoly
system.
When the city took over,
Cleveland's rates dropped from
a top of 10 cents per kilowatt
hour to a top of 3 cents.
Seattle, Wash, showed a drop
from 20 cents to S cents; Taco
ma, Wash, from Is cents to
little more than 4 cents; Pasa-
dena, Calf, from Is cents to
less than S cents; jamestown,
N. Y, from 10 cents to less
than 3 cents; and Holyoke, Mass.
from Is cents to 4 cents.
The average cut in electric
rates per kilowatt hour was
nearly 10 cents - and Chi
cagoans could gain the same
saving.

in Chicago are nearly as low

Police were searching for a
man today who broke two win
dow panes in the rear of the
jewelry store run by Milton Lee
path on Duval street early this
morning.
Lepatin told Acting Police
Lieutenant Harry Lee Baker
and Patrolman Eugene Herman
DEE that at a. M. he heard a
noise in the rear of the store. He
said he opened the rear door and
d man wearing brown shirt and
trousers ran out of sight.
At 2:45 a. m, he came to the
corner of Duval and Fleming
streets and told Patrolman Her
nandcz that the man had just
broken two panes of glass. The
patrolman found the windows
broken, but the thief could not
get into the store, because to
have gained entrance he would
have had to break them all.
