Cleveland, ©., An*. 21.—(Special,)— An agitation h « started in this city feat «*» not fall to attract intereat throughout the state. The Citizens are realizing the necessity of controlling fee amount o t public lndebtedncaa to t ■which their property can b* mort* gaged and the purpose* tor which it ahull bo mortgaged, The city’* 4«bt la now more than 120,000,000, in. addition to which there 1« a county debt which feuat be paid almost entirely by the city, The city council has 'passed ordi­ nance* and called a special election for the purpose of voting bonds to the amount of 51,800,000, to be used as follows: Municipal lighting plant, f *00,000; high level bridge, <500,000; street openings. <100,000; Clark ave­ nue bridge, < 100 , 000 ; parks, <200,000; West Side boulevard, < 600 , 000 . \I t will be seen a t once that this list Includes'many purposes th a t must be Very popular with the people and which can not be supplied in any way other than an a public undertaking, and that- it also Includes purposes that can not he of,service to more than a very limited portion of the city, and. that can be supplied without recourse to revenues derived from taxpayers. Another feature which ia the cause of much anxiety to the citizens.la the fact that fee amount called for In thin1 bond Issue nte’only sufficient to make a beginning in the development of thel undertaking*. • It la already estimated feat the final cost will run up to <14,. 000,000,,but, there.|a no assurance that, it can be stopped a t that point, and the. Impression is gaining ground dally that-the, only dine of safety fo r the’ citizens-is pot to begin. The'force of, this conclusion Will Be' admitted when the proposal to install a municipal electric lighting plant for fee purposes of-serving private users, as well as street lighting, is.consider­ ed either as a question of publio policy or as a busln'ods proposition. ,On.fee question.cljuibllc policy a special cpmmittee.'bf tha Cleveland- Chamber of .Commerce, , having .had the subject under consideration, has reported as follows: “A^propoaitlon to levy a tax feat' fs no t for the bom-' mon interest o f .all, bu t Which,baa reference to fee’Special benefits, to-be Conferred, on; a comparatively few, namely,,thg.,users- of: fed city's coin- ’ h metfjjal lighting, service. Involves, an ' Improper use o f fee, taxing power," When considered' as a business proposition It is dlfficuft-for well in-. formed ctfitena to understand what elements of?efficiency can be- com­ manded by the *city administration feat will enable It to render a lighting Service a t less than it costs fee-exist­ ing private Corporation to produce Its Common observation‘does not-show- feat the city pays Its employes less, employs them far, longer hours and' gets more, service to p the wages paid than private corporations •do. The people of Cleveland will be aided In their Investigation' of this subject by fee experience of Columbus, Hamil­ ton, Xenia-and other olUes In fee stats which have undertaken to troth out this industrial miracle. , - Columbus started’to operate a mu­ nicipal lighting plant,; for- street light­ ing, duly, in 1<B0, which coat <61,000. The plant waa ' -operated 16 months, and then dosed down because it was proven that fee city could not furnish Its own light a t a price as low i s feat contracted for by a private corpora­ tion: The plant was Idle for more than a year. In April, 1961, plans were made to extend fee "usefulness" of fee plant for which- purpose <110/- •00 in bonds wore sold. This amount proved insufficient and was followed by another issue of f i l f ,000, making a total Of <*00,009. The plant ia sot completed and It will be more than a year before fee city gets a cent's worth of service oat of these increased bond ( m u m . In face of this fact, on last Monday the ■eettXdl was as&Cd for another <100,- 600 to meet emergencies, w ife this eiperlsac* as a basis for calculation fee dfeuiaa of Cleveland can estimate fee "bpportunliles" feat will be open­ ed «p • by voting <*00,600 worth of bofed* to Install aa eiectrid lighting plant in oompeUtkm wife a privately managed plant in which there are 0*,«0M06 Invested, Ifsmitten, O,, enjoy* fee unique . prestige of being the only city in fee cduntry Un i has undertaken to install a mnaietpal lighting plant and to sell service in competition wife a private Corporation. ftwfaseoT;,E W. Beanie, trim ia Mayor Johnson's chief adviser upon fell menleipat lighting proposition, says of feeo tty of Hamilton; "fieri- due emharratsments have come, to fee efty kg esmsequMee c private- eomtabj-JK Ho one can be more painfully gwwra ■ than the taxpayers of Hamilton of fee embarrassment* that have been cans- ed by undertaking to sell service from, g municipal plant ip competition wife ■ » Private corporation. The best fee city can do i t to attempt to make it appear feat their street lamps cost hut <75 each per annum. It is found, however, jn analysing fee accounts feat no charges for depreciation and interest on fee bonded debt of <100,- 060 efcter into fel# cost and feat ipany Item* feat should be charged to oper­ ating expense* are charged as cost’of construction; and In addition‘to this the olty is carrying a large amount- In delinquent commercial consumers' aq- ^ ooupts, which are called good, but In fact are worthless. When questioned upon this subject; a few days since a prominent citizen said: "It is civic pride, that keeps Hamilton In the municipal lighting business. Our plant* are costing us money, but we don’t care to confess this to fee world: We've got fee sore and all we can do ia to keep on rub­ bing in fee ointment," Something may cure It, but no one has been able to kuggost a'remedy.” The clvlp prTde-of fee citizen# seems'1 to1have reached fee limit when they were called upon a short time ago to vote au additional <10,000 -In bonds to take care of deficiencies, This proper -sltipn WAS defeated a t the polls, ’ I Several year* ago-fee city, of Xenia undertook to produce an electric light­ ing- service a t less coat than feey could buy it-from a private .corpora­ tion. Thirty thousand dollars-of tax- ! payers’ money was invested in' the plant. I t proved to-be an expensive luxury, and was finally sold to -the highest bidder In 1896 for |2j?00.' City. Clerk Hogan, -who has held the ofilce for 1? years, says; "The’.clty received more' than the plant was wprfe when it got fel* ridiculously low figure.” < The best the city officials could do was to show' that the electric lights I cost the city under municipal manage-, 1ment <103 each per year. Now Xenia is better lighted than ever In its his-, tory and the lamps are furnished by a private corporation a t <83 per year for ' 2,179 hours of service. 'Cleveland is paying- |?{t per year tor 3,860 hours' Service. ' Hublie Policy Of Chicago, In its cur­ rent Issue, refers editorially to fee ..Cleveland problem a s’follows; - '.'‘Will Mayor Johnson definitely state fe^t, In hie business judgment it is possible for'him to take* ti -(.payers’ money,* Invest-It Jn, '* business in which he no r-any ot his appointees have had *ny practical experience, in which- th^y-have no financial Interest o r responsibility, build a ’plant only qne-fenfe fee capacity of . fee plant wife which It must comppte, and pro. -dttoe electricity1a t a cost feat will eq­ uable fee city to sell it a t a price be­ low fee figures o f fee coiiipellhg com­ pany without' creating a deficit Which ta^syfero must pay?,:-. v ’*<' , " ' ‘ 1 "If Mayor. Johnson’s appointees are capable of.managfeg<an electric light lng plant and can produce electrical energy at less cost than can those who have been managing fee private Company's business for years, and feey can prove their ability to do It J o , the. satisfaction of those who have .millions of capital a t risk in fee elec- •tric -llghtlng business, they Would not stay .long In their .present positions. Private corporations would want feolr services a t twice or tbree .tlm.es fee pay feey fire getting. Mayor Johnson knows this is true, So does every business man In the cityrof Cleveland. "The proposition ,to build a plant, operate It by pciltloat appointees, com­ pete wife a pl'ant ten times it* size feat has been,operated for year* by •ome 6f fee best managers in fel* country, and -to attempt to undersoil it* competitor without making *' lot* I* not creditable to Mayor Johnson’* business judgment. To close his eye* to fee weakness of the proposition s i a business venture, and attempt to manufacture political capital out of a grandstand play in the role of a cor­ poration fighter, knowing he can not be discredited by feese weaknesses, because feey can not become practic­ ally apparent in time to Injure bl* chance* in fee political game he 1* playing, is discreditable to his politi­ cal sincerity. He Is making an a t­ tempt to turn to bl* advantag* a pop­ ular prejudice against public service corporations, which he has don* ail ia his power to create, a blind follow- lag of his leadership by those who are incapable of an Intelligent criticism of his proposals, fee apathy and gen­ eral lack of correct information on the pa rt of fee people. This course fees* Who wish to be his friends regret. If persisted in It will destroy his future usefulness and give to bis enemies their best opportunity to down him, Those who Write history always re­ cord fee successes- of the misinformed and Insincere as disaster* for them and alt affected by their proposals.” CHNOEttt TttfG OFTRN3, Tender h new now sseliedulft in ef­ fect A u g . 2, passenger trains over the Peuneyjvaui* Lines leave Cetlar- villeas, follows; => , HAST.
