City urged to buy Beckley water works profits would cover costs
The Register argues Beckley could purchase the water company with profits from the plant covering the purchase price and leaving funds for other public projects. It cites salaries totaling 12,500 and a last year profit of 534,000, plus city tax and rental savings if municipal operation replaces private service. Officials propose negotiating with city council and appraising assets before a bond financed purchase.
