Tie substance of-: .the " argument against the steam plant and the sixty- five thousand dollar proposition is g like this: The city is already bonded for forty thouand dollars in electric light and ' water bonds. If sixty-five thousand dollars more are added to the debt it will be out of proportion to the assessed valuation of the city. The Bonds cannot now be sold for more than eighty-five per cent of their face value and will draw six per cent interest. It will cost an amount to build a new plant now and it is decidedly uncertain asto whether the material can be secured. There is a great difference between the cost of installing a steam plant and the cost of installing an oil plant. There is also a great difference in the cost of operation and it is all in favor of the oil burning plantX The claim is made that it will require three licensed en gineers and three firemen to run the steam plant, and that it" will not re quire but three men to handle the oil burning plant. Aside from the cost ' of operation here are some in teresting ngures on trie price ox ine plants. The steam plant is to- cost .CONCEPT . Presbyterian Church Saturday, June 26th BERNHARDT TRIO. .
