Ex Councilman Urges Curb on Light Plant Expenditures
In a Democrat editorial a former city councilman argues against a $30,000 plus new light plant. He details current plant capacity including a 250 hp engine, 125 arc light dynamo, 2,200 incandescent dynamo, and notes underuse of the incandescent unit. He suggests smaller engine, larger arc dynamo, and a condenser could meet decade needs for under $7,000, opposing a $28,000 upgraded plant and city power sales plans aligned with Hawks Electric Co.
