City considers municipal lighting plant amid debate at meeting
City Solicitor W B Johnson announced support for a municipal lighting plant, surprising some council members. The Cleveland engineer would inspect the town to assess needs while experts advised arc lights downtown and side street lighting for pedestrians. Some favored rejecting gas and electric contracts with Citizens Gas and Electric, citing past promises and poor service. Johnson argued gas lighting is workable with proper regulation, but urged public ownership as solution. Councilman Mueller praised The Reporter for standing with the people.
