THE ATLANTA. GEORGIAN, IVEUBER 2. F DR. PARKHURST GREW WRATHY WHEN SOCIETYBEARING HIS NAME WAS IMPUGNED IN OPEN COURT ORIGINALLY SET Citizens Committee Meets To Report Result of Canvass. CLUBBED TO DEATH How Atlanta Can Get Own Lights For Nothing. PUBLIC OFFICIAL MAKES SUGGESTION Reserve Profits of Water works and Apply to Building Electric Light Plant. The practicability of municipal own* erablp of gun nnd electric light plant* haw been proven by other cities, mda- lily Jacksonville. The advantages of municipal owner* ■hip arc beginning to bo thoroughly understood by the people of Atlanta, as Is evidenced by the steady growth «if the league Many feasible plans by which Atlan ta could safely and profitably buy or erect her own electric light and gas plant have been suggested. It remain- ! ed for a public official—one who know —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. I Ills plan Is as follows: Let the waterworks plant, which Is owned and operated by the city, run as before. I«et .the plant pay for It •elf, meeting nil obligations, making all 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, tp be spent In "driblets” by the coun cil, lay them aside. From these receipts the waterworks will run Itself, make Improvements, pay bonded Indebted ness, and the surplus Is not touched. In Thursday’s issue of Tim Georgian thc> records of the waterworks depart ment for the pant ton months showed that the actual’ profits for that time ware 1260,228.42. Figuring tlmt the profits for Hie remaining two months win be In the same proportion, the city will reap for the yjmr 1006 nearly $300,- 009 by reason of Owning her own> wa terworks department, and the jwople will have saved an enormous sum be cause of the cheaper price of water. Laying aside $25,000 of this amount annually for Investments which were not figured In the expenditures pub lished Thursday, the profits will lie about $275,000. If this amount were laid aside annually, how long would it take for ‘ the municipally-owned wa terworks plant to pay for h municipally- owned electric and gas plant? Take from the profits $275,00(1 that part of the receipts called "public serv ice.”; If the city had not nwndd the waterworks plant, then the city would have had to pay $159,122.44, granting that a private corporation would have charged the same rate for water that the city does—and the private corpo ration would have charged more, Just is the gas and electric Itght plants, not >wned by the city, charge more than :he city would charge, , Even taking this $159,122.44 from the profits of $275,000. more than $100,000 a left. Add to this $100,000 h year made by he waterworks more than $100,000 now iMild by the city to the electric light dant for her own lights, and there Is 1200,000 annually which the city •oflld spend for buying or erecting her •wn electric light ami gas plant. And the only thing necessary in for • he city to take the $100,000 now paid ’or lights from one pocket nntl put It n the other, instead of imurlng It into lie coffers of the Atlanta Gas and Electric Light company.
