City to test municipal electric plant costs for Boston
The committee argues a 3000 arc plant with 600 surplus lights costs $760,000 and, with interest and depreciation, would total a low per arc price and yield at least $125,000 yearly savings. It says municipal generation is economically viable and opposes high electric company charges, urging General Court action to enable municipal electricity and lower rates.
