BENNISON BROS AND /s CITIES AND ELECTRIC LIGHTS Further Arguments in Favor of the Policy of Municipal Control, A SAVING OF FIFTY PER COENT Striking Contrast Presented by Two Neighboring Massachusetts Towns —Monopoly Prices are Not Gov- erned by Cost ot Production. Mr. Victor Rosowater contributes to the New York Independent, tho following article on “Public Control of Electric Lightuing,” dated Johns Hopkins university : The question of municipal control of pub- lic electric lightning involves two opposing interests. The individual, asa stockholder in a corporation disposing of its product to a city, is influenced by a policy different, from that of the individual in his capacity us a cit- izen and a v. The former sceks to ob- tain the greatest possible return. upou his in- vestment; the latter is interested inkeeping the cost of street illumination at its lowest limit. For the general public, then, the most important part of the discussion must re- volye about the point of comparative cost under the two systems The business of clectric lightning is now usually considered as monopolistic in its na ture, und only to sed in after a fran chise hus b aured from a local authority This privilege immediately assumes a local market value, and if tho plant be sold the Sanchise becomes an article of commerce. hy should a community granta privilege, valuable to others, when that privilege has the same, if not a greater valuo toitself. The statistics published by tho common council of Seranton, Pa., show that in ninety-one citics, illuminated by private electric lighting corporations, the ave anuual vrice for cach aro light is $105.1: while in seventeen cities supplying their own service, tho ave annual cost is but 212! per lamp, The same economic phicnomena way bo illustrated by comparing the cost of illumnation to the taxpayers of two nelghboring cities in Massachusetts Danvers and Franklin have each 1-200 eandle power lamps burnin v durk night until widnight. Danvers, owning its own plant, pays annually § v light;; Franklin pays & corporation $30 per light yearly But one of the defendérs of mogopoly, in piticising theso figures, says: “The cost price n for all-u it lighting inn celbles owning thelr own plunts aver ages 8 80 per lump p It is ordinarily estimated thut one whout forty-five volts und ni oo horas pawer b the In the Buffalo Expres that a horse power of in Rochester, N.

Kven though the Brush company, seeing an oppox tion, with: X was de tunity to obtain u lavger remuu drew its bid later, a bond for posited at the tim n offer was originally mude in good faith Again it is complained that cities operating their own electric lighting plants, use build ings erccted for different purposes, such as gus supply or waterworks; that their em. loyes put in a portion of their time et other ~ ssuranca that the | labor the supe at the super n of other departments sought to use these facts to impen showing the expense of the: But the effect is quite the revers one of the strongest arguments utendent is engaged in It i in favor of municipal management of electric lizhting. It show one of the legitimate advantages which accrue from such control. Electric lighting is but one of those mo- nopolies of service, so closely al- lied in character ' and managemeut, that their union not only promotes economy but also ctory service, Such indus may be condu large than upon asm le. This pecul ity of natural monopolies is even being recog- nized by tho private corporations controlling them. Gas companies are everywhere inyest- ing in clectric light plants. 1t 'is but an indi- ‘ging monopo- lies to_ combine. instance may be cited. The Cincinnati electric lighting comgany has just purchased a controlling interest i the five other companies located in that city. This corporation is in turn owned by the Cin- cinnati gas company. All that is still neces- sary to completo the industrial evolution is that the municipality itself should now step in and unite all under a ity manages It may be easily seen that tho pr industry are not governed by the cost of pro- duction. The great difference oetweon the w agge cost to cities illumi ed by contract and to those furnishing their own light gives od ground for this inference. But how igly is that confirmed by the ‘wide range \ prices charged by private eorpora- As mentioned before, a bid was 4 i much more cheaply upe s¢ cation of the strong tendency ur A nt of the lowest offer. “The spread and propagation of these facts vapidly bringing ubout the natural r > number of s malin almost 500 per ¢ power to supply nsclves with light cheaply and economically is inereasing with astonishing quickness, So far as known the list of ci their own elect or more compri: ay City, Mich. ; 5 which have operated ghting plants “for a year ora, 1113 Bangor i Ch bal, Mo.; Hunting Ind.; Lewistou, Me.; Little Rock, Avk.: Lyons, Ta.; Madison, Ind.; Martinsville, Ind.; Meadville, Pa.; ' Michigan City, Tnd. | Painesville, O.; Paris, Tll.; Popeka, Kan.; Xenia, O.; Yps wuth, 0.3 1ti, Mich, Ma kon 'stops in this diree tion or preparing to enter the fiold During the ye > twenty mun | ures for the pur ities, purchased or took m chase of theirown electric-hghting stations.
