Quitman's Example Quoted to Show
What a City Can Do Whun It Owns
Electrlo Plant—Average of 38 Cents
Per Light
Editor Times-Euterprise:
In oouneotion with the disous-
sion of the electric light question
I beg to submit the following fig
ures that are charged iu opr
neighboring town Quitman:
8 lights for $1.60 per month
2.26
6 “ 2.66 “
7 “ 2.80 “
6 “ 8.00 “
9 “ 8 25
For all lights above 0 iu num
ber a flat Tate of 85 cents per
mouth for eaoti light is charged.
The city of Quitman gets revenue
enough fro* the sale of lights to
the public to more than pay oper
ating expenses of thn plant, be
sides geltiug its street lights free.
It is a well known fact that
the service at Quitman is as good
as any town of itiaizd in the state.
Quitman operates its own elec
tric liglifc plant in connection
with its pumping station.
