Light Company Fighting.
(Bakor Democrat)
The Eastern Oregon Light and
Power company has come out in the
open to make a determined fight
against the construction of a munic
ipal lighting plant, and today will
begin a campaign to convince the
people that such a move on the part
of the city commissioners would be
the height of folly -nd detrimental
to the best interests of the taxpay
ers. Their "publicity campaign will
be conducted by Mr. Glen Marston of
Chicago, who arrived Sunday. The
first gun of their campaign will be
fired this morning, a display adver
tisement in this paper announcing
the same. ',"

menting on the matter said in part:
We of course will be credited with
opposing the construction of a mu
nicipal lighting plant through selfish
motives, because of competition and
loss of the city business. To a cer
tain extent this .is true, but on the
other hand our company, as a heavy
taxpayer , in the city, does not feel
that it -wants to be assessed its pro
rata portion to pay the cost of what
we are certain will be a 'white ele
phant and something the city com
missioners and people generally will
regret.
"They say that the people have
voted $25,000 bonds for the con
struction of this plant, and that the
commissioners are in duty bound to
carry out their plan. This is true,
but as a matter of fact this issue
of bonds was authorized two years
ago, and we believe that we can
show the people good reasons for re
pudiating their action at. the polls at
that time. We will try to make our
campaign against the , municipal j
plant a campaign of education and
believe.that we can convince .the peo- j
pie that the construction of the same
will be detrimental not only to the
Eastern Oregon Light and Power
company, but to the city at large,
which, after all, is the more import-
ant, and while some will disbelieve t
it, our prime motive for action is
from the standpoint of being heavy .
taxpayers."
