ATTACK MAYOR'S
LIGHTING POLICY
President Josselyn Says City
Would Gain Nothing by
Owning Plant.
CITES LIST OF FACTS
Jlciid of Power Company Seeks to
Show That Municipal Owner
ship lias Failed in Many
Instances.
That municipal ownership of public
utilities is impracticable and that, where
tried, it lias proved an expensive and a
disappointing experiment in a large ma
jority of instances, are the contentions
of It. S. Josselyn. president of the Port
hind Railway, ljiRht & I'ower Company.
Sinre Mayor Lnne bean his advocacy of
a municipal electric lighting plant Mr.
Josselyn has obtained statistics on the
subject showing- that invariably munici
palities have made a failure of the own
ership and operation of public utilities
and at the same time have increased ma
terially the. taxes of property-owners.
.Discussing municipal ownership from
a business viewpoint, Mr. Jooaelyn yes
terday nddressed a letter to Mayor lnn
In which he takes issue with the Mayor's
argument in favor of that policy. By
nay of Introduction to a discussion of
the subject. Mr. Jiwselyn refers to the
fact that his company is one of, if not
the largest, individual taxpayer In the
county and for that reason is interested
directly in any proposal that would have
the effect of adding to the rate of taxa
tion. Mr. Josselyn has supplied himself
with ammunition and believes he can
controvert successfully any argument
M ;t or Iane may advance in favor of
municipal ownership of public utilities.

At Krankfort, Ind.. a disinterested citizen.
In re.-nonss to a request for an opinion upon
municipal ownership, stated that they have a
city from K.0 to 12.ihk). The original cost
for a mumtpal lighting plant was something
(ner fyO.OoO. Though the city haa no re
port from data on tile, ha would Judg that
the cost was about $20 per street arc lamp
per 'ar. The city taxea have been doubled
since the Installation of the muntdoal light
ing plant. The service Is extremely poor,
and while It appears to be the pet of cer
tain Councllmen, there la not a taxpayer
In the city that does not regard the plant
as a "white elephant." Ho states that If
a city Is out of debt, haa a low tax levy and
a large surplus of cash that the city wishes
to get rid of, his advice would be to build
a municipal lighting plant.
Cites New York Budget.
In New York City the expense budget for
city government this year amounts to ? 143.
OtiO.OuO. Of the amount. ?24.iViO.Wio is for
interest on the bonded debt, and S1uihk,oo)
is for redemption of that much of the bonded
debt. A great many of the thlnps for which
the money was originally borrowed have been
used, worn out nnd duappeared from the eyes
and knowledge of rm-n. . Tho figures are pre
sented for the benent of those who have no
dlellke of public debt and who believe in let
ting coming generations pay.
St. Ignace. Mich., has surrendered to pri
vate ownership after a political strupKle last
ing Ave years. The MnJiiMlque Uftht & Power
Comiany not onl- claims a 30-year contract
on its own terms (which appear reasonable) but
a contract for pumping municipal water
through the munlciyal water mains.
In tialt Lake City the rates charged by
the municipal water works are to be ad
vanced soon In order to provide fmm ?40.o.'0
to f,-H),ooo additional revenue annually, which
represents the deficit under municipal opera
tion, maintenance and interest and sinking
fund charges. The income to the depart
ment la.t year was $170.OO0. The sum needed
to meet expenses, minus depreciation, is aoout
$210,000 a year. The city is in bad financial
condition and the administration can see no
way to cover the deilrtt except by Increas
ing the cost for supplying water.
At Kansas City the Journal Is an outspoken
opponent of municipal ownership and does
not mtnd who know; It, and states substan
tially as follows:
Quotes Kansas City Paper.
"If the water works we're now operated
by a private corporation. Instead of by the
municipality . such a protest against lnef-H-ient
service as was recently snt to the
Mayor would provoke the administration to
volcanic wrath, but as the city and not a
private corporation owns the water works, the
Mayor referred the protest to the lioard of
Public Work3. which probably referred It to
its secretary,- who probably referred it to
his stenographer; who probably placed it in
a pigeonhole, where It will probably rest
in unmolested seclusion while the solemn years
flap their gloomy wings adown the centuries.
Those enthusiasts who are clamoring for mu
nicipal ownership are grievously embarrassed
by the water works. It is a standing refu
tation of thetr public ownership arguments.
The service la inferior and comes extrav
agantly high. It has never paid expenses,
and frequent bond issues are necessary to
make up the deficits. If the sewer system
of the city were cared for and maintained
under private contract, what a cry would he
raised about its inefficiency. If the main
tenance and care of the streets were a matter
of private control, the elty officials from the
Mayor down " would go vnto on convulsion,
after another. If the work of the city ad
ministration were done under private con
tract, what a howl there would be at the
City Hail. With all its boards, commissions,
a Kent s. superintendents, exxterts and an army
of clerk." the citv Is unable to run. Its affairs
efficiently and satisfactorily. Yet, there aie
those who wouid have it essay to run all
other utilities, and officials of ths city, who
st.ind dumb and impotent In the face of or
dinary business problems, criticise the street
railways, the telephone systems, the gas com
pany and other efllcient and capable public
service companies.'
At Pulaski. Va.. a place of some 0 In
habitants, the municipal electric plant is
offered for sale.
The town of Needham. Mass.. has Just
sold its municipal street lighting plant to
the Edison Electric Illuminating Company,
of Boston, and a 20-year contract made for
street illumination at the company's regular
standard rates, the same as charged under
similar conditions to the other towns In the
adjacent territory- The Needham municipal
f'iant was installed about 3W4 at an approx
imate cost 'Of S13,oOO. It was solely for
street lighting, the commercial service being
tn the hands of a private company from
which the electric current for the street
lighting was bought. This combination was
not satisfactory and ths town discovered it
desirable either to sell out to the Edison
Company or purchase the commercial facili
ties and enter on the business. After full
consideration ths derision enacted was
reached and all forms of municipal owner
ship abandoned.
Refers to Spokane Suit.
Rpokane, Wash.. Is defendant In a suit
brought by a citizen, charging that the
water rates are exorbitant, and that the
monej- is diverted from the water fund for
tthr purposes, notwithstanding the party
who brings the suit Is one of the owners
of the water works, that Is. according to ie
theory of municipal ownership. He goes
Into court to prevent his own creature from
charging more than he thinks the service
Is worth. The fact that such a case is In
the courts, and that the reasonableness of
the water rates at Spokane is probably to
be ascertained by -a court. Is decidMlj intei
estlng. Perhaps some public ownership en
thuslastn reading this may be moved to
reflection, lake many other phrases that of
"public utilities should belong to the peo
ple" has a habit of discussion and double
dealing.
The City Council of Lafayette, Ind., has
rejected a proposed municipal electrical
plant scheme after investigation on the sub
ject by Individual members. The Courier,
of that place, says editorially : "Municipal
ownership has generaJly proven a failure,
although on paper it invariably looks good
and its theory sounds well. Its advocates
here believe we mlpht be one of the excep
tions. Well, we might. It la true, but that
is what nearly every other municipality that
has ever tried It thought, only to come up
with a bump that made the taxpayers won
der what had hit them; but the question is
settled. Let there be peace."
In Cincinnati it was thought that a gas
or electric company mlono in Its territory
has no competition, a proposition generally
accepted upon its face, but Is not true. ,Sum
facts flvn in a circular Issued by the Union
Gas A Electric Company of Cincinnati,
showing the results of operation for a cer
tain period. Illustrate how this view is
wrong. It is related that by reason of the
aggresslvs campaign for new business the
company succeeded in substituting its serv
ice for lrt private gasoline electric generat
ing plants, 44 steam-pew er plants and 34
isolated plants, besides securing the change
of -B7 elevators from hydraulic to electric
power all in one year. Labor Increased 23
per cent in cost, with a reduction in hours
from 12 to 8. and materials of all kinds
were very high in price, but no higher rates
Cor U or lectrlcitj wars contemplated, as
would have been the rule In an ordinary
industry.
Tne authorities of Watertown, South
Dakota, have decided not to build a water
works to compete with a local company al
ready in the field.
Find Abuses Creeping In.
At Charlevoix, Mich., the Board of Public
Works readjusted the water rates made In
1W2. In the inves titration required many
abuses and inequalities were discovered.
Some rates were raised ; others lowered
even tho Hoard of Public Works was lam
basted. More recently still, it was found
that the city had a very large amount of
money due it from the users uff water and
light. There Is no town within 40 miles of
Charlevoix, that owns its own lighting
plant, that Is not in trouble concerning the
management and operation thereof, and In
one case the situation Is serious.
At Nashville, Tenn., the report of the
superintendent of the municipal water
works department states he discovered and
stopped two big leaks In South Nashville,
one of which had been supplying a "spring"
for years that dried up on discovering a
four-inch main broken squarely in two and
stopping the leak.
In a report to the Board of Aldermen of
Burlington, Vt., certified public accountants
set forth that the municipal electric plant
of that place has been operated at a heavy
loss since it was put Into service. Tho .city
plant supplies the street lighting and pays
for commercial service with a private com
pany. The depreciation allowances made
by the accountants were: Building, 2 per
cent; machinery, 5 per cent; tools, fixtures,
etc.. 10 per cent. The communication trans
mitting the report closed with this para
graph; "We find that the department Is paying
nothing in respect to the rental for the
land occupied by Its plant, which. If It wera
a commercial undertaking. It would un
doubtedly have to bear."
The above communication is quite long,
hut 1 shall, if desired, be pleased to give
you further references should you desire to
be more fully posted of the exact outcome
as demonstrated in other municipalities, for
the purpose. If possible, of defeating any
increased taxation that might be levied upon
us by reason of municipal ownership of pub
lic utilities.

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE.
Pullman. Wash., April 11. (Special.)
The work of construction on the new
building's of the Washington State Col
lege is progressing rapidly, and it is ex
pected that all of the new structures will
be ready for occupation by the time of
the opening of the term, 'OS-09. The
basement of the big recitation building
Is fairly started, and the architects hope
to complete the first two stories during
the present month, bo far as walls and
ptuddlng are concerned. The new green
house ia finished, and the work of ter
racing and sodding the lawn about this
structure im being hurried to completion.
The installation of tho laboratory equip
ment of this building will be complete
within the present week. .
The new veterinary hospital la also
nearly done. Equipment, such as labora
tory supplies, operating tables., and addi
tions to the supply of surgical instru
ments. have been ordered, but will not ar
rive for a few weeks. One convenient
feature of the working equipment of this
building is a system of elevators moved
by electric power, by which patients
can be hoisted from the lower floors to
the upper laboratories for operation and
class-room demonstrations.
The domestic economy building is
nearly done, and in point of artistic
architecture, is the most attractive build
ing on the campus. The interior arrange
ment of the building comprises a large
number of lecture rooms, laboratories
and a banquet hall, which will be made
use of by the young ladies' classes in
"serving." A number of banquets are
given in honor of the authorities of the
college and distinguished visitors each
year, the supervision of which is in
charge of the advanced students of this
department, this being a part of their
"laboratory practice."
