LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1915. - NUMBER 11 LIGHT AND POWER QUESTION j Statement in Regard to rroposea Purchase of Municipal Electric Light Plant by Yadkin River Pow er Co An Unprejudiced Report of Situation That Confronts the Town of Lumberton in the Matter of Securing Continuous Electric Current A Business and Not a Political Question. To the Voters of the Town of Lum berton: The undersigned committee, pur suant to their appointment submit the following atemen'. ' reatard to the proposed purchase of our mu nicipal electric light (plant by the "Yadkin River Power Company. 1. For some time the boad of commissioners have been aware that it was necessary to make. some ar rangement in regard to our present lighting plant for the reason that it was known that the plant was inad equate for the present requirements cf the town; also that it was neces sary on account of the plant having practically lived out its expected ex istence. With this in view, the board of .commissioners employed Messrs. Osborne & Pritchett, engineers, of Charlotte, N. C.r who examined the plant and made a detailed report on its value, efficiency and cost of op eration. The Yadkin River Power Company was - wawtt'ttW yCfa'-lr the town, (ir'tne-wwn wanuxi . iw, but before the board could handle the matter with any degree of light, it was necessary that they have such an examination and report from a competent source. The superintend ent of our water and light plant ad vised that the present plant would last probably a year or a year and a half longer, nence it was ncca s!irv thnt some action be taken. 2. The engineers were requested to answer the following questions: Is the lierht plant earning any thine? In answer to this question the engineers advised that the dif reeeiots and disburse- ,nt from the ulant "was $3650, whinVi renroapnted what it COSt the town to light the streets. Since that report was made tne wnite-way ana additional lights have been put in which increases this amount to $5,900, which represents the amount It IS now costing uo Biiiiuai.jr light our streets, the graded school and town hall. t (b) What is the plant worth as nucleus, of a new plant? In an swer to this question .they advise that the present plant would, b worth $11,418.00 toward rebuflding on the present site, and . $8,461 72 if used in moving to the railroad. (ct Cost of rebuilding on present site? Cash required to repuua on present site was stated 10 De o,- S9K 1 (d) Cost of rebuilding on new site on railroad 7 uasn required w -vniA on new site. $23,525. (The co vino- in dravaee on coal if the plant was put on the railroad would be $750 annually.) (e) Cost of rebuilding plant for purpose of buying current- from the power company to Te-sell? - Cost of equipping plant to buy power from the power company was stated to bo $7,225, but this does not include cost of making connections for new customers or extensions, nor is that included in any of the estimates given b ythe engineers. (f) What should the plant sell for? The engineers advise ,that ft fair cash price for the plant and equip ment is $6,383.64, and they value th "good will" and "going concern" value to be sufficient to bring the selling price of the plant up to $14,- It must be borne in mind that our present plant is a "direct current" system which is now obsolete and not rm the market. If we had an; "al ternating current" system the value wruld be more. The report of the engineers is on file in the mayor's office and is op en to inspection bv any voter who desires to see it. 3. The engineers recommend that we equip a plant to take power from the power company and then re-sell it ourselves, but in view of the fact; that this would in all probability in crease our investment in a plant to about $25,000, and allow practically nothing for the original cost of the riant, it was deemed best to submit the proposition of the Yadkin River Power Company to the people. 4. The proposition of the Yadkin River Power Company is as follows: -I buy our plant for $15,000 and ,vien spend about $16,000 in chang ing it to an alternating system; thev will also furnish all customers with new bulbs and fans in place of those row in use: in any event, new A. C. bulbs will have to be used whether they get the plant or . whether the town rebuilds it, and this item will mean a saving to the individual cus tomers of from $2,000 to $2,500. The company asks for a sixty year fran chise to conduct the business allow. i by their charter a general light and power business, gas works and electric street . railway. The fran chise wiU not be exclusive as it is not allowed by law. They also ask for a ten-year contract to light the streets which, at present, will cost the town $5,962 annually, not in cluding graded school and town, hall (Continued on page 4) PARKTON PARAGRAPHS Band Concert a Great Success Con cert May be Given at St. Pauls Great Basebalh Season Expected UBe of Commercial Fertilizer Cut In Two Personal.
