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. City Council. “ Mothers* Triend” MIKES CHIU) MHTH EASY.
