Yours, E. C. Smith. 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.
