New York, Nov. 30.—The selection of
a successor of Samuel Spencer as pres

Pinioned down by heavy timbers ot

begged piteously for Marshal Lea und

A Terrible Sight.
And It was a terrible sight that met
his eyes when he stepped from his
coach. The wreck occurred at a point
where them was a steep embankment

the wreckage of President Spencer's
private car. Mr. Cuesta went at once
to where the engine of hla train was
plied high with debris, and with two
other passengers he helped remove Ihe
negro portera, one of whom had his
eye gouged out.
"The Impact,” said Mr. Cuesta at
his home Friday morning, "split Pres

The special council committee on mu
nicipal: ownenhlp of the.gas and etae-
trlc. lighting. plant Friday morning
unanimously adopted a resolution
recommending the appropriation of $50u
for a thorough Investigation of the
practicability of the proposition.
This was the first active step taken
by the city officials looking towards
municipal ownership of the plant, arid
the fact that not a member of the
committee looked upon Ihe .appropria
tion with disfavor Is token by the
advocates of municipal ownership as
an evidence that council realises Just
how strong tho sentiment for a cUy
lighting plant Is ln Atlanta.
The |5«0 Is. to be spent In making
careful survey of the streets; an In
spection as far as can be had of the
present privately owned plant: as es
timate of what It would cost the city
to bulhl a plant; an appraisement of
what tho actual vnlue of the present
plant Is; what the cost of production
would he In a municipal plant, taking
Into consideration ull local conditions;
what gas and electric light could profit
ably be furnished t,. patron- for hi
tlto city; how much thn city would
save If she furnish*,1 her own light In
stead of paying tlOO.nno to the present
private company.
Goea to Council.
The resolution will be Introduced In
council alontlay. It I- highly probable
Hint the rejoin of the committee will
be adopted with little or no opposi
tion.
The contract will be let-to an Atlanta
firm of electrical and mechanical en
gineers, It being generally understood
thnt this firm will be the Hall-lllgcs
Company, which aided the committee
Very materially by securing reports of
a large number of lighting plants, pri
vately and municipally owned, all over
Ihe country.
Sir. Roland B. Hull, Jr., of the Hall-
Illgsa Company, attended the meeting.
He submitted the report of his Inves
tigation, which proved to be thorough
and neeurnto. The rejiort 'bowed so
plainly tile advantages of. municipal
ownership thut tho committee devoted
onty a few minutes to discussion be
fore adopting the resolution.
Mr. Hall submitted' a compilation
from government statistics results from
the operation of twenty gas plants ap-
proachlng the slxe of the dfie In this
city. Fifteen of these twenty are under
private management nnd two tire tnii-
nlclpally operated.
This table showed that the plant that
produesd gas the cheapeit was a mu
nicipally.owned onet that thi, plant
told gas the cheapest of Ihe twenty,
and yst rsapad the greatest return on
the investment.
The other of the municipally.owned
plants produced gas cheaper than any
of the eighteen privately-owned plants,
with the exception of one, whose cost
of production was the same: only ona
private plant furnished gas as cheap,
and none cheaper, and yet it had reaped
mors than 12 per cant profit eg th* in
vestment.

Tits first plant.produced gus for 5J
1 -2c (ter thousand ft., and sold gas for
31 per thousand, with a 36 per cent dls ■
count for cash, and yet reaped 15.1
per cent on the return Investment. The
second municipally-owned plant pro
duced gnu for 58 cents Jter thousand

of 12.4 per cent.
