.Mtanloipal Electric Lighting.
‘ The second annual report of the South
Norwelk Electric Light Commissioners
leprlntsd and in the bands of the com'
nil-lone” for distribution. It is a docu-
ment replete with interest to every citi-
an. and a most gratifying presentation
of a subject that involves our comfort as
well as our expenses.
A comparison with last year’s expenses
shows that tbsyearly cost per lamp has
been reduced from $64.53} to $59.29 3 10,
in round figures about five dollars a
lamp. We have an ,average of one
street light 6 to each sixty inbabi~
huts, and the cost is about ninety-seven
cents per capita. ~
or the plant itself it can be said um it
is a model. The aim of the commis-
sioners has been to use only the best
materials. and to conduct the plant upon
tbeprlnolpls of true economy—sparing
nothing necessary and avoiding every-
til-8 unneoeurry. One great saving
the past year has been in fuel, and
thlshesbeen made by mixing locomo-
tivs sports with first-clue bituminous
ooallu quantities of one part sports to
two parts coal. ‘
At present the plant is being operated
at about eighty p r cent. of its total cs-
peeity. Its full capacity is one hundred
andnlnety‘right are in use. One lamp
he been added during the year. The
average dhlance between lamps is live
hundred feet, a1d every part of the city
issdequately lighted. We venture the.
statement that no similar territory is
more completely lighted under any
system in existence.
'l‘hesuccess of our lighting system is
due to the efficient and conscientious
oversight of our commissioners. This
commission is nun-partisan and should
hekept so. and composed as at present,
solong as its members can be prevailed
upon to serve.
Th0 following from the report we
must fully endorse:
"Whatev-‘r may be the arguments for
or against the municipal ownership of
electric plants, the fact has been amply
proveIIthat South Norwalk can supply
in own street lights much .more econ-
omrcally than by renting them from pri-
vate corporation. The reasons for which
srsplein.bseause in this instance, the
oi” not alone has the advantage of ob-
taining ill lights at cost, but also owns a
valuablesmet in its plant, winch. by the
saving it affords and the deprecia-
tion charged against it, still in
time cover the original investment.
In the instance of a private plant, a
stated rate must be paid each year,
which, not alone must contain thectltol
operation. but obviously a fair prolit for
the owners In addition to the items olde-
and interest on the lava»
meat, and at the end of the year the city
