MUNICIPAL ELECTRICITY. At the Poll taken on December 20, 1909, you, as Ratepayers, acquired by your own vote, an undertaking whereby vou can, and actually are, producing a commodity capable of providing ELECTRIC LIGHT, HEAT and POWER, both for domestic and commercial purposes. In fact you have entered into competition with private enterprise on a business footing. There are at present 11 Municipal Electrically Lighted Towns in New Zealand, and as many more in the course of constructional progress_ and consideration. All those are in a flourishing condition notwithstanding the temporary set back in their respective revenues, due to the advent of the WONDERFULLY EFFICENT METAL FILAMENT LAMP. It rests very largely with you individually as to whether this Department is to be a paying success cr a drain on the General Revenue. You have a valuable asset, so make the most of it. The area over which the supply is distributed determines the demand. The number of consumers determines the rest of productionThe cost of production determines the selling cost. Therefore the sooner vou connect with YOUR OWN SYSTEM the sooner you will eliminate the inevitable, initial generative costs. Do not think that your individual assistance is insignificant, as on it alone is success dependent.
