Fall Board present. The minutes of
previous meeting were read and APP
proved.
The following proposition was pre-
sented.
To the honorable Town Board of
Wa hburn.
Owing to the fact that there have
been several applications for adj
ditional street lights presented to
yonr honorable body of late, we are
led to make the following proposal
to the town:
Our present con tract with the town
expires in the fall of 1895, and calls
for 81 arc lights for which the town
pays 1892. per month.
We will, if agreeable, consent to
cancellation of this contract by
mutual consent providing new con-
tract is entered into for 40 arcs for
a term running till January lst,
1916. and will furnish the 40 arcs
for monthly rental of $4,000 or an
additional charge of but $500 for
the six new lights. We do this in
order that the people who now have
no lights may be given them without
any additional expense to the town
to speak of and that this company
may know that it's investment is
somewhat of more permanent
nature than is now assured,
ln case of the acceptance of this
proposition by you, we will agree
to have the six additional lights in
service as soon as the weather will
reasonably permit, but no later than
May 1st, this year.
If your honorable bocy wish to
consider this proposition, we wish
to say that an immediate accep ton
is desirable.
Respectfully submitted, Wash
burn Electric Light g. Power Co.
By Fred T. Yates,
Secretary.
On motion the above proposition
was laid over.
The application for an arc light at
the corner of Central Ave. and
