Special to The Telegraph from Cleveland Ohio June 9. The city now charges three cents per kilowatt hour for municipal electric light, saving about 4000 for readers on the books of two small city plants. The new plant, a $2,000,000 municipal works project, will be ready in about three weeks. City officials chose May 1 as the rate date to match private utilities, which challenged the move before the State Public Utilities Commission. The newer plant is profitable at the three-cent rate while the older one shows a May loss that should vanish with the new plant’s opening. Lawsuits delayed construction, but the building is complete and the distribution system is being installed.
