ATLANTA GEORGIAN, »vi:Mm:u 2. v WATERWORKS !DR. PARKHURST GREW WRATHY 'f WHEN SOCIETYBEARING HIS NAME j WAS IMPUGNED IN OPEN COURT! (fi How Atlanta Can Get Own Lights For Nothing. Pt’BLlC OFFICIAL M A K ES SUGGESTION Reserve Profits of Water works and Apple to Building Kleetrie Light Plant. TIu* pranir-abUity of municipal own ership **f gn* anti electric tight plants ha* been proven by other cities, nota bly Jacksonville. .The advantages of municipal ow ner ship are loginning to be thoroughly understood by the jx'ople of Atlanta, an Is evidenced by the steady growth of the league Many feasible plans by which Atlan ta could safely anti profitably buy or erect her own electric light and gns plant have been suggested. It remain- •d for a public official*—one who knows —to suggest a plan whereby one munic ipal plant can pay for another with out the Issuance of one cent of bonds. Waterworks Can Pay. Mis plan Is us follows: the waterworks plant, which Is owpeti and operated by the city, run 4** before. fLot the plant pay for It self. meeting all obligations, making ail necessary improvements, additions and enlargements and paying off its bonded Indebtedness. Let the tax collector continue to col lect for the plant. But. instead of put ting the receipts Into the city treasury, to be spent in “driblets" by the coun cil. lay them aside. From these receipts the waterworks will run l|self. make Improvements, pay bonded indebted ness. ruid the surplus iij not touched. In Thursday's' - issue of The Georgian the records of the waterworks depart ment for the past ten months showed that the actual profits for that time 1266,228.42. Figuring that the prdflts for- the remaining two months will be in the same proportion, the city Win reap for the yeaffttffii nearly $300,- (iCO by-reason of owning her own wa terworks department, and the people w III lutve Saved an enormous sum be cause of the cheaper price of water. Laying aside $2$,Oon of this amount annually for Investments which were not figured in the expenditures pub lished Thursday, the profits will be about $275,600, If this amount were ‘ laid aside annually, how long would It take for the municipally.owned wa terworks plant to pay for o municipally- owned electric and gas plant? Take from the profits $275,000 that part of the receipts called "public serv ice.” Jf the city had not owned (Ire waterworks plant, then tire city would have had to pay $15!U22.44, granting that n private corporation would have charged the same rate for water that the e|ty does—nttd the private corpo ration would have charged more, Just ms the hhh and electric light plants, not owned by the city, charge more than the city would charge. Kven taking this $159,122.44 from the profits of J275,noft t more than Sioo.ooo is left. Add fo this SIOO.OOO a year made by the waterworks more than Sioo.ooo now paid by the rlty to the electric light plant for her own lights, and there is 9200,000 annually which the city cquld spend for buying or erecting her own electric light and gas plaid. And the only thing necessary Is for the city to take the $100,000 now paid for lights from one pocket nn*l put li In the other, instead of (Kiuring It Into the coffers of the Atlanta lias ami Electric Light company. ORIGINALLY SET Citizens Committee Meets To Report Result of Canvass.
