There afe several things worthy
of oomment in Mr. Smith’s letter.
In the first place Griffin is a oily
of 6,867 inhabitant*, whioh is
about the size of Thomasville.
It is safe to assume that the num
ber of lights used is not less than
those used in Thomasville. Grif
fin has 60 street arc lights aud
Thomaaville 16. Thomasville now
pays about $4000 a year to the
eleotrio light company—This is
almost as much as itoosts to oper
ate the Griffin plant for an entire
year, a* according to Mr. Smith’s
figures this is $5,200. With the
profit* from the plant of $4500 per
year and the saving of rental,
$4000 per year. In three aud one-
half years tho city could pay for
an entirely new $80000 plant.
This would result in a saving.to
the city and. a saving, to every
user of eleotrio lights in the city.
The municipal plant could and
would furnish light at ten cents
per M Watt.
The present management of the
plaut. charges 16 cents. A saving
of 88^ per cent is not to bo despis
ed. By all mesua let the city own
its electric light plaut.

It will be interesting to the
state militia to know .that Adju
tant General S. W. - Harris will
begiu today sending out checks to
all the military companies of the
slate for the fourth quarter’s ar
mory rent of 1908. The payment
of this armory rent was suspended

penses of the encampment, and it
was only a few weeks ago that the
armory rent for the third quarter
of 1$08 was paid. Following close
upon that all companies will now
reoeive their armory reut for the
last quarter of last year The to
tal amount distributed will be
something more than $8,000, or
$87.60 per quarter to eaoh compa
