On the contrary we will here solemnly affirm, that bad the member of tho olty council a fully real Imt w hat they ware aanetlonlng and voting for as did the clUaen of In- leiHmdenc. when they signed mm re- monstmnee, they never would have al lowed their names to bo placed upon record as favoring anything like mon- os)ly measure. Anyone wbo 1 ao- pialutcd with the history of the Spring Valley Water Co. nd the Oa Com. pany of San Francisco, whose exolu slvo fruiicblse ha worked so great i hardship um that city, could never have voted lu tho affirmative upon a like ordluanoe In Independence, ; pro vided be, bad the well being of the city ftif his Inspiring Idea.. - - We are told that thl ordinance docs not bur the city from the right of conv petition. Hut what of that? doe the elty waut thla or any other Electric Light plant! t W fully realiae that this Electric Light haa beeu au ex neuslve plant, which up to the present time ha not paid large dividends to the stock-holder but whether or not thl last move will tend to increase these dividends, time alone can determine; but Judging by the present rapid flow of tho popular pulse, we do not believe It will havo the desired effect. The Electric Light business, like any other legitimate business docs not need, nor should It have any special legislation for It protection; but on the contrary, tike any legitimate business, should be allowed to rls of fid .upon It nioritt alone.- V ' In the face of tho present condition of aiTUlrs lu our city, we think it would be well enough to souud a note of alarm to tho property-holders and the tax-payers of Independence, ( The question now is, If a corporation has tho power to pass on ordinance through the city council, as they have done, In defiance of .tho expressed will of the people, have they not the pow er to pass auother ordinuuoo, saddling tho whole Eleotrlo Light plant upon the city with It long attendant train ofboud.
