Photos for Everybody ¡a ¡a Have you observed that the News-Times fails to give you Facts for Facts ? W H Y ? Who loses by city blunders? Does the public gain by having public matters obscured? My business proposition offers you service and we know we can save you from losses aggregating $50,000 in fifteen years; BESIDES this we can save the consumer thousands of dollars during that period. A T THE RATES YOU N O W PAY the sum saved to you will be enormous. You should demand facts. W h a t you want to know is where you stand now and the answer to these questions. Why Why Why W hy is consumer overcharged? are rates so high if profits are so great? must consumer buy maters if profits are so large? three-fifths of population should carry all the street lighting and part of other general taxes? Why are streets so poorly lighted that lanterns must be carried? Why does the News-Times dispose o f my facts so lightly? Why was $72.90 expense credited to profit? Why does News-Times claim that 15 cluster lights equal 45 arc lights? (45 arc lights equal 135 three ball cluster lights.) Why does News-Times claim $1.50 each for 8 candle power porch lights and only $1.50 each for 32 candle power street lights? Will the borrowed $4,000 be returned, and when? Is interest on that $27,000 paid out of light, or water? When did the light plant become free of debt? Will the profit claimed continue? How much profit in 15 years? Who paid for electric plant? Who pays for replacing machinery worn out? Who pays for replacing worn out poles and broken wires, etc? Why are sinking and replacement funds ignored? Why is insurance omitted? Why are fuel items inaccurate? Who pays for 80,000 gallons of water used each day in steam plant? Forest Grove Studio. WHY NOT?
