A few, issues ago we pablieherl the proceedings of the first coancil meeting for this month in which it was noted . that Mr. Jovrett had applied Inc pay- ment of $250 a. year to light the tovirt with some 23 lights. This -Proposition again raises the question of the advisa- bility' of the village ownership of the lights and the naatter is worthy son3e consideratien. It has been stated that to buy a plant, erect a building and set the enterprise on its feet will require 53,000 Which could be got re:1(1a ily at four per cent., entailing an interest payment of $120 to start with,, which. with Cosi of •rUnning .Wonld; entail an expenditure of about' $600. This would include filel and salary of operator. Then allowing that we could get at least 200 Private lightS put in which at ores and a quarter cent per light per night Would realize an income of 5900, This would leave 5WJ0 to be applied yearly to redheing the indebtedness, If the Village. Viotild pay the interest on the debt ae, their share for the lighting of the streets,we • would haVe the arlditiOnal •$120 to apply to the reduction of the principal • which could be paid ofe in about seven or eightyears,countinginereaers of sink. ing fund by the atiloant of interest on ,investment, This calculatien give tie the lighta 1086 cost than has been proposed while each ;sal citizen would get them at leas than has been 'charged alto) and in seven or eight years tho people would. get their lighte at cost and the !Wage own the plant with no further payments ba. • yowl •the maintenance of the lights. Now,while thio caleulatioe has been roughly and quickly made we believe It to be correct or nearly so ; ab loot it la worthy of set• . IOUs eoriaideration. While the village to • badly in need of light we believe it would he well to atudy the matter oat thoroughly and should •contraeli. be made with a private indiviclunt in the meantime, We are of the isis" inlon that the village ownership would be eheap- trend More satisfactory.
