Excerpt from A List of Defunct Municipal Lighting Plants In view of the persistent suppression by advocates of municipal ownership of the real facts in regard to municipal lighting plants, it has seemed worth while to prepare a list of municipalities which have wholly or in part gone out of the lighting business by the sale, lease or abandon ment of their plants. In almost every case information has been sought first from the mayor or city clerk, and in cases where no response has been received from them, application has been made so far as possible to disinterested persons, such as the editors of the local papers.
