Municipal lights eyed as Winchester weighs cheaper path
Dr. McGuire urges municipal plant in Winchester after visiting Hagerstown where rates for lighting and power are cheaper and lamps are provided free. He cites 400 watt nitrogen lamps, $3 each, 1500 hour life, and argues a city plant could undercut the local power company and supply power for cities, farms, and industry. Comparison shows Winchester rates higher for kilowatts than Hagerstown, with potential annual net gains and substantial street lighting value.
