Wednesday, Feb. 5, 1913,
The U. S. Senate by margin
«)£ 0R6>0te as passed the six-
leenth amendment to the eonsti-
iution of the U. S. which will
authorize an income tax that will
yield the national goverment an
mcome of $100,000,000,00 annu
ally.
How We Compare.
We note that some hold to the
view that Burlington is very
poorly lighted and ^ if
we had lights from a private
corporation we would stand for
no such service as we recieve.
Its a fact that a goxl honest
citizen of Bariihgton a few days
ago visited Atlanta and upon his
return stated that if you elimi
nate the lights from the streets
of Atlanta you will have a city
with no better lights than Bur
lington,
it depends on who fits yoor
glasses.
We are collecting data for our
leaders in regard to the former
management of the Water, Light
ind Power Plant, and owing to
a failure to get sufficient facts
50 make a clear exposition of the
jpast and present condition of the
^nt, we are forced to omit its
publication from this issue but
•we promised our readers some
kteresting matter at an early
Jate,
Vote Saturday On Selllag
Liglit M.
The proposition in brief is as
Purchase price $50,000 the city
to retain all real estate and build
ings and machinery now owned
bv them. The city to pay $60
perHght for street lighting 85
lights, ,
This company agrees to make
the rate nine cents per k. w. and
the minium 50 cents. Agrees
to furnish four 25 watt lights
for $1.00 flat rate these lights
can be used all the time without
ovI'Tst r^rv^l*
The voting will take place on
next Saturday and every citizen
living within the city limits will
have a right to vote. All living
in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Wards
will vote at Mayor’s Hall, and all
living in the 4th ward will vote at
Lavtons Store.
. the board of aldermen have
worked hard on the matter, have
met^ a half dozen times, and while
favoring the proposition, wanted
the people to have ja voice i^^ the
matter of sale. It is up to the
people.
At present we are paying II
cents per k, w. for our lights,
with a minimum of 80 cents. The
proposed contract gives the con
tract at 9 cents, and a minimum
commission ? of 50 centSj with a flat rate of
four lights for $1.00
If the city continues to own
its own plant, extensive improve*
ments must be made to care for
increased business. The city
simply has not got the money to
make these extensions. If the
plant is to be sold, now is ^ the
time to sell, and we dont believe
we will ever got a more liberal
propaition. The Southern Power
Company, with its cheap power
offered us a minimum of $1.00
The company offer a minimum
of 50 cents. This minim inn af
fects a large number of people
more than
one v^^uld suppose and the first
flat rate of four Lo watt lights is
a splendid proposition,
j The company making this
1 proposition will spend over
to be
manufacture and i located just without the city
eatering to the large consumer! Hmits. and will work the busi-
,u r ? ness and hope to make money
sitn no regard for the ordinary, increased volume of busi-
■iser. If the plant must be sold „ess This offer to furnish free
with out consulting the masses, carbon lamps, and will sell
hi> mre to remove from your | the Tungesten lamps at cost.

The bill for the

2)^inion that it will meet all re*

How ever, we have no hope that
jt will satisfy every one but we
are confident that it will give to
Burlington an efficient adminis
tration of affairs with a great
lain in social, moral and indus-

give you the fill lest value for your
money becapse the ^feat buying^ power
and advanced manufaeturing methods of
the McEhvain Company enable them
to make better shoes a little cheaper.

every shoe they make because
they want the responsibility
when they fail just as much as they
want the credit when tlley please.
