PAGE—FOUB _ Why Can’t We? One of the arguments which on the surface sounds like a good reason for keeping the electric utility is, “if Indiana-Michigan can make money distributing power here, why can’t we?” At first this sounds hard to answer. But let s think a moment. First, we all realize that our little, cityowned plant, controled by the electric light board, and the city council, is not, and will never be, as efficient as a private utility which must make money to survive. Indiana-Michigan will not send out five men to do one man’s job. They will work efficiently, and cut the costs where they can. Secondly, they will be producing the power very economically where fuel is cheap, and bringing it in on lines already built. Also, while they will be operating here at a loss for a five-year period, this loss can be balanced against their profits elsewhere, and will reduce their taxes. Decatur has no other power operations to balance its loss against. Also, Decatur already has an electric debt m bonds valued at $672,000, which would have to be refinanced at higher interest rates, since no second mortgage is possible. Thus Decatur would have to use tax money or raise local rates to pay off the interest and retire the debt. Indiana-Michigan could use profit from other lines which are already operating profitably. And biggest reason of alt, Indiana-Michigan will aggressively build up use of electricity in this area by encouraging its use by home, farm, and industry, and even by helping industries locate here. This the city utility does not do. . So, while Indiana-Michigan may be able to begin in five years to make money by distributing power here, Decatur would only fall hopelessly deeper and deeper into public debt, discouraging property owners, business, and ruining the workers who depend on commerce and industry for their jobs. • • • • Lose The Franchise? Another argument against the sale of the electric plant is, “if we sell, we lose the franchise and can never regain it.” In the first place, the franchise is of value to us only as long as we can provide ourselves with cheap, dependable power in the quantity we need. We cannot do that. The power varies greatly from line to line, it is extremely expensive to the 1,000 rural customers who make up one-quarter of the users, and we can nd longer produce anywhere near the quantity we need. Even that which we produce is more expensive than that which we buy. Second, the franchise if granted to Indiana-Michi-gan is for an indeterminate period. This means that upon -a justified petition of the users iri 'this area. the franchise could be revoked by the public service commission. We do not mean to intimate that this would be easy—it would not. But it is possible, and would even by probable if rates or service became unbearable. It is quite possible that the loss of the franchise might be more of a blessing than a loss. An improved electric outlook here would permit industry to expand, and aid the growth of our city. .Cheap, reliable power is a real necessity. Who really believes that the ordinary “butcher, baker and candle-stick maker” who compose the groups that run the city utility, can compete in service or efficiency with electrical engineers and progressive businessmen ?
