Bryan considers buying water and light plant to raise service
The city could issue up to 70000 to refund bonds, leaving 48500 cash after retiring 21500 debt to purchase the water and light plant. If taken over, annual payments for lights and water would stop, enabling immediate service extensions. Insurance costs could rise 1 to 20 percent, potentially outweighing purchase costs. Mayor Maloney urges a practical plan, with feasibility options including possible merger with a trolley and power line. The Eagle presents the issue for reader information and council action.
