Show TO SUCCESSOR VOL. XV. THE MORGAN, UTAH, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1910. LIGHTS ELECTRIC Post Favors Citizens Incorporating Co. to Distribute Electricity-B- uy in Bulk from Manufacturers. it in Morgan, no doubt, is now discussing the electric light proposition and whether it would be advisable to bond the city to buy an interest ia the plant proposed to be built in Hardscrabble canyon by the Slusser-McCormic- Now people. k the Post would consider it more advisable for the people of the whole county to incorporate a company to build distrib uting systems in each town and not build either a steam nor a water power generating plant. Then the generating companies would be competing concerns and the distributing company could buy the electricity in bulk from whichever company that would sell it the cheaper. Besides it is the generating plant that costs the money. One serious objection to the city bonding to get the electric lights is that they cannot build lines and furnish lights outside of the city. Coalville has had this kind of an experience. The system does not pay because they cannot market their surplus electricity outside of the city. In Bountiful the people formed a company as here suggested and buy their electricity in bulk and retail it to the people in and out of the city. It has been a perfect success. If the citizens form a company then therecould be no objections to the city limits being cut down if it should later be deemed advisable.
