Ames Looks to Indianola Model Electric Plant for Guidance
A city council committee led by Mayor Smith and joined by Prof. Budd and others toured Indianola’s city owned electric plant. Indianola, population about 3000, operates 140 incandescent and four arc street lights at a 30 cent monthly rate for sixteen candle power lamps. The plant, built for 1080 lights, now serves 1400, showing overcapacity. Monthly street light costs total about 150 dollars, funded within the city budget. Over five years the plant paid five thousand dollars in debt, funded improvements, and proved profitable with low rates. Ames plans to pattern after Indianola’s setup within its own budget and aims to profit from a similar system.
