tended to help the people of Cordele
settle the problem of owing and opera
ing their own light and power plant

handsome returns for the tax payers

light plant. Here is what the letter
says in full:
Dear Sir:- :
“This in reply to yvour inguiry of
the 4th. instant.
v “Our water and lighting plant are
combined and it is rather harvd to give
vou information vou wish in regard to
lighting plant alone, These plants are
owned by our city and we find muni
cipal ownership very satisfactory in
every way, Without the profits deriv
ed from it, our tax rvate would have
to he raised considerably. Our rate is
7 cent KW, but this is subject to a
discount ranging from 10 per cent to
40 per cenft according to amount cur
rent consumed. For the last 18 months
we have been purchasing onr current
from the (la. Rwy. & PPower (o, Our
profits are just about the same now
as they were when we generated our
own current, Net profits from both
water and lights average abont $6OOO
00 to 7000.00 per year. Should you
wish more information on the sub
jeet T would be glad to furnish it to
vou.”
