OCCASION FOR REJOICING
Editor Cordele Dispatch:
There was some occasion for bon
fire rejoicing at Cordele, Georgia,
when it learined last week that the
amendment to the State Constitution
was carrvied! allowing Cordele and
Crisp counL'}' the right to public
ownership and puhlic" distribution of
h,\'(lro-ei(‘ctri(' power advocated by
gome of their feading citizens.
3 Thiy r(;juicin;" was opportune es
"pociull,\;’ in' view of the, fact that
great groups of water-power inter
ests swooping down upon us {rom
the North dominate the hydro-elec
triec power of this great smto,' and
are insisting that they také over all
the natural re'sqm‘f{érs ’m'rog‘r'great

They have just finished up a stru
s cunipufp;n in Ngw ;Yorlf state in
“which, to some extent, it was a pro
test against the "N'orthoaxtem Power
Corporation. which spread their ten-3
tacles over the New El.l_leand fiold.f‘
Governor Smith favered & publiql
owned hydro-eeletric power. with pri
vate distribution, going part of the
way only, but which saved his neck
in the gubernatorial . election by
‘bringing to him o much of the sup
port of those who believe in an ap

So it i refreshing to see our state

nook and coiner the vight and power
to own and operate this hydro-elee

a catastrophe from happening. Gov

hour. The consumer in New York
? pays 7 cents per kilowatthour, The
| diffevence of 6 cents is the distribu
tion charges. The time will come
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
when the municipalities of New York
as wcll ag the state will see to it
that the state not oniy own the
power plants but also the distribu
tion system,
The people of San Francisco are
finding out just that thing. At great
expense they constructed hydro-elccvl
tric plants at Hetelr Hetchy., The
City Fathers sold the clectrical en
ergy to private compaies at a rate
that did not pay for interest rates
on capital and upkeep. The compan
ies despite this low charge for pow
cr at wholesale, in distributing elec
tricity to the citizens of San Fran:
cigco, are charging all the traffic
will bear. The citizens now find
that they must take a step further
and build or purchase their own dis
‘tributing plants,
The possible advantages ol munici
pal distribution is seen in the ‘case
of Scattle, Washington. Before the
city plant was started in 1902, the
consumers were paying 279 cents per
kilowatt hour for current. When it
became evident that the city was
a('tua!y to ,l‘)uil('i"’a iiiunicip'fl_l'plnht,
,“t‘l')e ]"iv,:igé;wcyfor.ipal;t‘i\." ’}'fflfizébd tl‘lg’
rates to 12 cents per k. w. h. In’
99905, the city began taking contracts
"for rekidence service for from 3 1-2
gent to 4 1.2 ‘vents'this forcingithe
leorporations to mbke further reduc
| {ions.}‘l‘he ‘Municipality continued-to
.r;'du.ée its lates with the passing
vears, until at present it charges
5 1-2 cents for the first 40 k. w. h.
reducing its rate to 1 cent for over
40 k. w. h. During the 21 years of
its operation the plant has paid itz
| operating expenses, and interest
charges, redeemed its bonds when
‘they were due or before, and has re
turned from its surplus earnings and
depreciation reserve a total of nearly
$12,000.000.00 toward the -constre
tion and extensions And betterments.
Under municipal ewnership the
rate per k. w: h. in® Ebs Angeles
has been reduced from 9 cents to
5 1-2 cents, while thé 'municipality
puts aside every years’for the sink
ing fnd between $2,500,020.00 and
$3.000.000.00 The pcople of the city
have thus far been saved in rates
ofer $20,000,000,00.
- The experience in severai hun
dred private and public plants in
Great Britain is an interesting argu
ment for municipal ownership. A
few years ago a careful analysis
showed ‘that the cost of generating
electricity in public plants and the
price of electricity to the consumers
were from ‘4O to G 0 percent cheaper
than in private plants. All your read
c¢rs perhaps know about conditions
in the Province of Ontorio where

They do not need to pay encrmous
