■ ELECTRIC LIGHTS!
LET US HAVE GOOD LIGHTS
ALL OVEK TOWN
At Less cost Than Our Present Poor
System, and Incandescent
Lights, Also.
Shall the city %o back to kerosene
lamps, continue to pay $4,000 a
year rental for electric lights, or
build us an electric light plant of
our own?
The city council has called an elec¬
tion to be held next Wednesday to
settle these questions and tbe respon¬
sibility now rests npon tbs qualified
voters of tbe city of Griffin.
It becomes the duty of tbs city
couocil as guardians of the interests
of tax payers of tbe city to submit
to tbe people our couclusions upon
the questions at issue and the rea¬
sons which influence us in urging the
people to vote for bonds.
We have not for a moment con¬
templated a return to kerosene, and
darkness.
The issue then is: what will behest,
to continue to pay $4,000 per an¬
num for our present. inefficient sys
rem of electric lights,,, or shall we
build us n new pluut sufficient in
every way to meet the present de¬
mands of the city?
We subunit the following estimates
show'Ujt cost of anew plaut, income,
expense of running same and proba¬
ble saving to the people.
Cost of plant, $16,000.
Exneuse of runuing plant, per
annum:
Interest on bondR..............$ 960 O0
■Salary Superintendent...... 900 00
Carbon trimmer............... 250 00
Engineer........................... 700 00
Fuel................................... 1,000 00
Carbons............. 750 00
Total...........................$4,560 00
The income from such plaut will
be $4,800.00 per year from 1,000
incandescent lights at 40 cents per
light per aiotxtb, and there is do
doubt that that number can be
placed at this low price. The price
will make them popular. In fact,
the income from the incandescent
lights will pay running expenses of
entire plant and interest on bonds,
which means a saving oi more than
$4,000 to the tax-payers ot Griffin,
in four or five years at longest the
amount saved will pay for tbe entire
plant. .
A municipal corporation has two
very private great advantages over any
corporation in runnimr a
public enterprise of this kind. First
the city can float bonds at 6 per
cent, aud sell them at par with ease,
whereas a private corporation or
individual could not procure money
at so small a rate of interest. In the
second place a municipal corpora¬
tion does not have to pay any taxes,
State, connty or city, which gives
the city a great advantage over a
private company. people
We want tbe to understand
that we do not intend to purchase
the present plant, believing the same
totally inadequate for our needs.
We intend if the necessary vote is
secured to purchase a new plant,
sufficient to give us nearly double
the oumber of street lamps which we
now have, and of sufficient capacity
to furnish our stores^ churches and
dwellings with incandescent lights.
The law requires before the city
council can erect this plaut the con¬
sent of two-tbirds of the qualified
voters of the city.
Every voter who refuses to vote
virtually votes ugainst tbe purchase,
for this is the legal effect.
$4,000 Are you for willing to continue to pay
the present system of
lights, or do you want a better or
more complete system at a much
smaller cost? That is the question
which every voter ought to carefully
consider and then east his vore for
tbe bonds.
Let him also consider bis private
as well as his public interest in this
matter, since both go together.
With an adequate plant controlled
by the city ev^ry man in tbe whole
circuit can have the best iucandes
cent lights iu his store or his borne
at a less cost than kerosene to begin
with aud a probably decieasiug cost
each year as tbe pi tut becomes paid
for and the expense lessened.
It is a step forward in the city’s
piHigress that should be taken with¬
out fail, and money in every tax¬
payer’s pocket as well.

THIS LITTLB THING* THK MOST
VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people regrrd them-
reives os inventors, but almost everybody another,
has been struck, at one time or
with ideas that seemed calculated to redace
some o.’ the little frictions of Iifs. Usually
such ideas ore dismissed without further
thought, “Why don’t the railroad company i make . i
Its car windows no that they can be slid up
and down without breaking the passenger*

“Hang such a collar “If
man who is late for hreoklast. 1 were in
the busmens I’d moke buttons that wouidn i
slip oat or break off, or gouge out the
bock ol my neck.”
And then the various sufferers forget
shout their grievances end begin to think ol
something cine. If they would sit down at
the next convenient opportunity, pnt their
ideas about cur window*, naucepane, and
collar buttons into practical shape, nnd
then apply lor patents, they might find

A TEMPTING OFFER.

tion*:
Every competitor mast obtain a patent
lor his invention through the company. He
must first applv lor a preliminary search, tbe
cost of which will be fir* doilare. Should
this scorch show his invention to be ns-
patentable, he can withdraw witboutfurther
expense. Otherwise he will be take expected to
complete hie the application and The total ont a
patent iu regular wav. ex¬
pense, including Government and Bureau
see, will be seventy dollar*. For this,
whether be secures the pnse or not. the In-
vein or Will have a patent that ought to be
a valuable property to him. Tbe prise wlU
be u warded by a jury consieting of three re¬
putable intending patent attorneys of Washington,
competitors should fill out Ibe

stimulus to do something that would be wail
worth doing without it. Tbe architect
