Another Power Election A total of 138 Decatur raaldcnts aifned a petition aaking the city council to hold a third election on the power question. Thu h slightly lean than the number of airnera on the hat petition, but 38 more than enough to meet the legal requirement of 100 petitioner*. The city must now act a time fur the election that will be euitable for the county election board. The city, probably from the incope to the light plan, will then have to pay the coat of thia third election. As we have pointed out before, it is to the advantage of thia community to settle the power question finally and speedily. It was two years ago when I&.M first made the offer. Surely everyone who plans to atudythe qoeat inn has had ample time to do so. Every facet has been argued and counter-argued time and again. The main remaining argument of those who wish to prevent the sale of the plant is this: to do so would place Decatur in the hands of a giant monopoly, which will be able to raise rates and make power expensive. Now there is no doubt but that I&M is a monopoly in the areas in which it sells power. But it is not an uncontrolled monopoly in any sense of the word. To raise rates, or to lower them, it must appear before the public service commission and argue its case. The city of Decatur, the citizens committee, the betterment association, or any group of private citizens would be informed, through legal advertising, and news stories, and have ample time to appear. . Now this is exactly the same procedure that would occur if the city of Decatur would want to raise rates. Each individual has just as much right, and power, to stop I&M from raising rates as he has to stop Decatur. But I&M is no more interested in raising rates than the people of Decatur are interested in having them raised. They make their profit by (1) Making and distributing electricity in the most efficient manner. Decatur cannot do this, because it does not have and cannot get, the capital necessary today to produce power in competition with private industry. (2) By keeping its customers, both rural and city, industrial and commercial, happy with good, prompt service and low rates due to number 1. Again, Decatur cannot, and is not, nor did it, under former Mayor Doan, satisfy the rural customers, the industrial customers, nor those in new, growing areas where electric heat is used. (3) By encouraging the use of new electric services, from electric heat to electric water heaters to electric blankets, clocks, washers, etc. This is something that the publicly-owned city plant has never even attempted to do. I&M will help local stores increase the ’ sales of their own electric appliances. The local I&M office will not retail these appliances. I&M is a large, efficient corporation. It is, according to private studies made by Indiana University, the most efficient private company operating in Indiana. Decatur needs plentiful, cheap and efficient power to grow.
