| Leon, Iowa, Feb. z, 1901.
To the Honorable City Council, Of
Leon, Iowa.
Gentlemen beg call your attention
TO the following points regarding the
electric lighting service of this city, and
recommend suitable action on each at
this session:
1. A strict rule that no one except
an employee of the light department be
allowed to modest, move or change in
any way, any wires, fixtures, ETC., con.
nected to and being served from the
system.
| II. That no lights or wires be al.
lowed to remain connected to mains
from which the city receives norevenue
This is intended to effect parties who
have more lights connected. than they
pay for.
i III. That fiat charge of $1.OO pei
month for single 16cp. or equivalent
thereof be made for residences.
IN. That the street lights run till II
o'clock-and to run for J hour after en-
tertainments at opera house, etc., owner
of hall agreeing to pay for extra run il
it necessitates running after IL O'Clock.
| V. That the city charge 25cts
per month meter rent. There has been
a great conflict of reports as to thit
point, causing much trouble the pas
month.
Il vi. With the number of meters tina
will be in soon, an indicating portable
wattmeter if almost a necessity. A di
rect current yoltmeter should also bt
owned by the city.
4 VII. In view Of the improvements
marked out for the coming season,
would suggest that the old mill be tori
down at once, the brick cleaned anG
made ready for use when they ART
needed.
Hoping that the above will meet your
favor am, Your humble servant,
