BLEOTRIC LIGHT. ;
LA Means Whe Wants to Give it'to Salisbury,
Do We Want it?
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

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

capital will give us electric light, it

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.
