Editor's Protest On City Lighting Costs In Bay City
The Bay City lighting system costs residents $55 per lamp yearly while only a portion of lamps are lit. The editor attacks wasted power, noting east side lamps dark and streets unlit south of Fifteenth Street. He argues the city pays for light it does not receive and calls for accountability from the utility.
