SENTIMENTAL OPPOSITION
AGAINST POWER AGREEM'T

(Continued from page 1)

 

also George-

 

Port Edward and
town water power, but as a citi-
zen of Prince Rupert he thought
it a good thing. He favored pub-
lic ownership, but could not see
that this agreement is breaking
in on this principle. Mr. Man-
son's plea for retrenchment is a
good argument why this city
should not raise $200,000 to
complete the city hydro plant.

Mr. Manson at this point said
he did not advocate doing with-
out sewers.

Dr. Kergin—‘You mean you
advise a cheaper or smaller sys-
tem.”

The doctor did not think the
cost of sewers could be trimmed
any, and sewers are a_ serious
problem. The next ten or fif-
teen years the city will have
many pressing needs and he did
not think it wise to take public
funds needed for public improve-
ments to spend on an electric
plant when we could buy power
as cheaply from a company.

We have to work to make a
city. There will be a lot of com-
petition and we need the money.
Dr. Clayton dealt in some per-
sonalities and read a _ telegram
correcting figures given by a
young man at a previous meet-
ing concerning Seattle power.
The statement’ had been made
that Seattle municipal plant was
charging the city $221 a kilowatt
year when a company offered it
for $122. The telegram from
Ross, the Seattle superintendent,
said the figures were wrong and
that the price was a hundred
dollars lower than that. Ross
wound up the telegram by saying
the franchise is the worst thing
the city could do.

Mr. Kohl produced a report of
a national electrical association
showing the figures were $224.27
as previously stated.

Dr. Clayton feared the com-
pany would hire citizens to all
switch on their lights full blast
at a stated period in order to
raise the peak load. He also pre-
dicted that the agreement could
not be put before the legislature
in time to be passed this session.

G. W. Nickerson was glad to
see Wm. Manson was coming
over into the other camp. Before

he said wipe out the sewers and
give us the city hydro power.
Now he is not so sure. He says
it is a question of rates. Supt.
Duncan’s figures are better than
Ross’. whose statement sare con-
tradicted by a report of a na-
tionl association.

Ross does not understand lo-
cal conditions. Look at Thomp-
estimates. Spend the
money On the streets.

W. P. Lynch said with him it
is a question of what it will cost
and whether we can finance it.
We had bee ngiven a lot of fig-
ures and estimates, but none of
them satisfied him. He wanted
something definite and he found
it in the electric commission re-
port of Ontario. There 24 muni-
cipalities using less than 500 h.
p. paid an average of $31.44 h. p
and four rising 1,000 h. p. paid
an average of $27. This was
about $10 per horse power more
than the prices under the agree-
ment. It is for the citizens to
judge whether the increased cost
of labor and material on the Pa-
cific coast warrants this in-
crease in price.

If we instal a city plant we will
be paying for 835 h.p. whether
we use it or not. Whep we need
900 h. p. we will be paying on a
1,600 h. p. plant.

Can we finance it? Manson
says it is foolish to consider
works already planned. I am in
fayor °f municipal ownership if
it pays. If T had my way private
companies could come right into
the city and furnish power. L~'
me make the bargain and they
can all come, I don’t think you
cun finance any of your
schemes this year. If you have
faith in municipal ownership put
your wn money into it. That is
the only way you will get it. No
city attempts to finance all ks
utilities in its early stages. A
modern city must have conveni-
ences. At one time these were
not necessary. Today they are.
If you don't have them you can-
net get the population.

Fred Stork thought the bylaw
eould not carty’ the handicap
against it, but he warned the op-
prnents they would be held to
account for it. We®have been
paying a high price for electric
light for many years. They will
have to provide something for
good as the prop®sition turned
down. The citizens are being
carried off their feet by sénti-
ment and not business.

mont will advocate sane spending

Newton’s Crooked Figures
Newton in last night’s Empire
printed a comparison of expendi-
tures for the years 1912 and 1913
that is as grossly misrepresent-
ing as it well could be.

For instance, under the item
of general revenue for 1912
Newton includes electric light
department, $64,000; also hospi-

tal grant, $10,000; also new fire
alarm service and new school in
section seven.
Under general revenue for
1913 he includes nothing for
electric light department at all,
and makes no allowance for hos-
pital grant of $10,000 this year;
no allowance for fire alarm ser-
vice paid for this year, and many
other items which could be enu-
Under hydro-electric
work also of 1912 he includes the
am°unt that was paid for the ac-
tual pipe itself ,amounting to
approximately $75,000 and which
was not spent in the city.
He also neglects to state that
the money which he used last
year to carry out hydro-electric
work was money from a credit
obtained by the 1910 council
from the Bank of Montreal, dur-
ing which year the present mayor
was chairman of the finance
committee and the. present chair-
man of the finance committee
was a member of the city
council,
Newton also takes credit for a
new school in section seven that
was paid for by the 1943 council.
He als® neglects to show that
the 1913 council had to replace
some $30,000 of money overspent
by Newton's council in 1912. This
item alone would make a differ-
ence of $60,000 in the compara-
tive statements. In fact, his
statement is nothing more or les®
than gress misrepresentation,
and the electors should remem-
ber that a man who wil! deliber-
ately falsify in order to obtain
office is not a safe man to be
trusted in office.

Summary of Year
The earnings of the electric
light department of the city for

net revenue $7,816.67. The ex-
penditure on capital account was
$6,583.58.
The earnings in the telephone
department were $23,169.10, the
net revenue $7,486.91, and the
expenditure on capital $1,564.46.
