The committee on light reported as
follows:
1othe Hon. the Mayor and Common Co,u,-
eli ofthe City Of Kenosho:
Your committee appointed for the
purpose Of investigating the electric
light question beg leave to report as fol-
lows
That, after thorough and careful in.
vestigation, your committee finds that
the electric light is the very best for
street lighting purposes. We find that
the same has been adopted in almost
every city in the Northwest, excepting
Kenosha, for which reason our city is
characterized as the Egypt of Wisconsin.
Therefore your committee would
recommend that there be further action
taken in the matter of lighting the city,
Iprovided the cost of operating the same
does not exceed $1,000 per annum, in
cluding the heating and care of the steam
fire engine, and provided further that
the city has legal right to put in an
electric light plant.
| All of which is respectfully submitted.
