It is not generally known that there was an electric light meeting in the Coun- cil Chamber on. Tuesday evening, but nevertheless stich was the case, and it's now, possible for Salisbury to have a first. class electric light plant in operation by about May 1st. The question now is, do we want eldetric light in thistown? The answer is, or rather should be, that we do,’ i we can get it 5p ‘the pruper terms. . A Wao. W. Staub, the man who puts in Meyersdale’s electric plant, was in our .the borough officers and see whether ar- rangements could be made to put ina plant here. . Electric light is the only reliable, safe, clean: and economic light for both domes- tic and other ‘piarposes,: and the time is now here ‘when by two small copper wires you can have heat in cold weather, run an electric fan on same wires to fan yourself when it is warm and furnish J light on the same wires. What the electric light company asks of the borough is about as follows: . The right for thirty years to erect poles, string overhead or underground wires,” and maintain the same over and across or un- derneath Any of the. public strects, alleys amd highways within the borough (said wires to be properly insulated) for the purpose of transmitting an electric cur: rent for light, heat and power to consum- ers, or for transportation purposes, as the company may at any time see fit or nec- essary for the proper transaction of their dividual or corporated, shall be granted any’rights of a similar character to this, during the continuance of the ageement, it. being agreed that the company. will | maintain au efficient plant at afl times. The borough. is to agree to pay the bor augh taxes on’ the plant for five vedrs. Then} after the agreement is sigred, the borough is to make the right of way one of the borough ordinances. Mr. Staub says IT he can sell 700 lights here, that the price per 18.candle power light per month, will be 80 cents, which ut ag cheap and in some cases cheap oun, | {8 800 se. ] €¥ than oil: From $4 to $6 per month ‘will be charged for each 2000-candlo pow: : | endight for street lighting, the pricede: pending on the number of lights taken: The borough will’ have to Day Suing | da {forthe coustruction of the line, the stréét lights and the poles from’; which | thiey ate to be hung. and if we under: stand the proposition the borough will not be compelled to Tight the streets, but that ihe plant will be put in if 700 lights : ‘can be sold te private parties,’ The lights | 'need only be taken for a year at a time, and if at any time any person desires to | discard the electric light, he can do en at compelled to invest In electric light for | his house whe does not wang it. In other words, Tt wilt be only for those who want {t. but we believe that if the plant is once put in, all will want it, as thé citizens of Meyersdald are all delighted with it. Many who opposed it at first are now the most enthusiastic in its favor. Mr. Stanb wants our people to lake a vote on the electric light question, ‘next Saturday, the 27th. but that is too soon. We must have a little more time to con- sider the question in all ite phases. The borough officers have the full power to make the desl, without consulting any- one, but they do not want to do business that way. Mr. Staub had better come up here in person; and call a public meeting and explain everything fully. Then we can act on the question speedily and intelligently. If the plant is put in, it will be Jsonted 80 as to light both Salisbury and West Salisbury. and Tee Bran. believes that the time is here for us to have our streets and ‘houses lighted with ¢électric light. But some few-are opposed to the scheme on the ground thatitisa scheme by the Meyersdate people to get things in petter shape for. the proposed electric road: What ifit, is? If Meyersdale wants to ‘put an electric road. into our. town, let it bo putin. It will: cost the ‘people of Salisbury nothing and will not hurt the ‘town, even if it would doit no good. Tax Star has no fight to make on the electric road whatever, But believing that such a road would not piy, we would advise our peopleto put no capital in it. But if Meversdale wants to build euch a road all herself, for Heaven's sake let her build it. Electric light is what we want here and should work for, no matter whether it brings an electric road or not. . But before closing this article Tae Stan | will! state that it opposes giving any com- pany the exclusive right to operate an electric plant in this town for thirty years Salisbury does not. want to put her foot in it in that way. Especially ' as there is home company for the purpose of putting ‘are in earnest about this business, and if capital will give us electric light, it ve. the gle ‘We believe city on Tuesday evening to confer with | I business. No other company. either in- | the end of any year, and no one willbe | now a movement on foot to organizea | Our capitalists. to get:a plant of our own, but we are will: ing to listen to what Mr. Staub has to shy, but the 30-year privilege is not guingi to take here. We want electric light and are going to have it, but if Mr. Stanb wants to pat in thie plant he will have 10 change his proposition considerably. §¥" For DISTRICT ATTORNEY, J. A.
