" -i '?? '"*'? "?" '^?r,J MATTER GOES ON THE TABLI Mr. Dfibney. "-Makes" Anothei Fight for Municipal'1 Owner? ship of Ele'c-tWtt Lights. Tho Flnuneo" Comihltto' whs presontoi last night with the option of tidoptliu tho plan of ownership Of an electric plan for municipal purposes only as uuggestei and asked for by Alc?ormart W. T. Dab HO)', who outlined his: scheme with l long array, of facts and statistics, ant In ' a most forelblo ! argument. That 1 failed of rocommendutton by tho com mltteo was not'due, it would appear tc any opposition busod merely upon thi merits of tho Be?ibffie, but because thi committee wished to wait to seo whii bids would bo nmdo for lighting tin city. It was this very delay against whlol Mr. Dabnoy fought most strenuously ant which ho feared. Ho bent all his onorgj toward speaking for the' urgoncy ""ant necessity of tho proposition, Bhowlng bj an almost umiucstlon?ble array of statis? tics that oven though the Virginia Pas? senger and Power Company reduced the cost per aro light $10, or even 920, by the Issuunco of $325,0)0 of bonds, the re suit would really bo cheaper, and In five years $120,000 could bo puld.back to the city.; ' , The Disadvantages. If the mattor woro delayed, ho claimed, tho city* would bo at tho' morcy of prl | vate Intorests In tho matter of lighting, when, on the other hand, If the plant be established and owned by tho muncl? pallty the city would bo botter lighted, and would, In the end, save a consider? able amount of money. In support of his plan for municipal ownership Mr, Bnbney said that the city owns property, valued, at .$250,000, which is avallnblo only for this purpose, and making uso of this property, for lighting p.urppses tho city must Issue, bonds for about $325,000,,- en? tailing an .expense at four per cent, of $13,000; redemption ;.nt :ono''and one-half per cent. $1,875; operating expenses, $25,000; or $42,875 altogether. This total expenso, Interest and redemption, ho said, is less than tho cost of/..tho. present, prlco the city havo to pay for lighting Its streets If S50 lumps could "be "Installed. Many More Figures. Ho said the company! cannot or will not Install aB many as Boven hundred lights, though tho Committee on Light has been begging and urging for this mimber for several years. He showed that this dif? ference In annual output" of the city's revenue amounts to $31,487.-50, which,-iif Invested at 3 per cent, compound IiiteF est, would In nine years, amount to $329,39-1.50. Treating this item of savings ns an earning account, tho results would show savings each year, $31,4S7.50; redemp? tion fun'dsl|$e,C7G| or a total available fpr Investment of $38,102.50. This installation would provide,., pay.'tho,. operating ex? penso,-!, maintenance, Interest and rt> demptlon of the electric plant, and also tho interest and redemption of $a9?,00i additional outlay at the Water, Work? It would light the streets, alleyt?i''todl public buildings free of coat. -- \ Mr. -Blair : Wins Out: ? Mr. Dabney was'very Impassioned 'in IiIb plea for a municipal plant, and asked that tho committee recommend It arid let it go to the Council, so that the responsi? bility of taking "up or turning down th? scheme woiild rest on' the' shoulders' of that body. '* : Mr. Blair moved as a substitute ' that the matter bo tabled until the Pollard resolutions, which have been ? passed by the Board, be concurred In-by the other branch of the Council.' H? was in favor of waiting-to see what proposition would bo advanced by tho Passenger and Power Company, which ho thought might be more favorable and less expensive than the municipal ownership scheme.

From tho overture to tho finale tho show hud a Hoffmannosquo flavor and went with a i rush.

The.Sisters Daley did a graceful turn, followed by Oortrude Hoffmann and hor Munhattan girls, who captivated tho denizens of the front row.

Mr. Hoffmann lias wrltton "A Parisian Model" for Miss Held, which she will play next Reason, as well as the music for Rogers Brothers' new musical comedy.
