build up Guthrie, and make it an up
to-date city, and still there are irres-
ponsible parties who are knocking
these enterprises.
These 81. Louis parties are not hot
air blowers. When it was almost inn
possible to get a dollar to put in city
investments, these people furnished
the money to build the Guthrie Oil
Mill, and this was the only enterprise
we had for two years They furnish
ed the capital to build the magnifi-
cent Oklahoma building; they estab-
lished the Logan county bank; they
stand ready to give you a first class
electric light plant They are willing,
to come in here and expend $780, 900
in a brewery, and the city of Guthrie
ought TO be congratulated on its be-
ing fortunate enough to induce these
people to do this, instead of discour-
aging them.

Contributions that have been made
by our citizens for the help Of the
destitute in the West Indies are halt
ed becouse no further aid is needed
there. AS the money has been given,
why not devote il to aiding those who
have suffered through the storms in
Texas and other parts of the West,
and from the terrible mine explosion
in Tennessee?

due to the people that they have bet
ter service. Now, here comes some
investors who are not residents OF
Guthrie and who ave brought here
solely by my efforts. They offer you
the best electric light contract that
any city west OF the Mississippi has
They propose to put in a plant cost
ing at least $4,000; give you an up
to-date, modern plant and elegant ser
vice. The machinery for a day Gu ren.
and electric fans have been selected,
and the shipment OF the same is
awaiting the passage Of the ordinance
submitted Every citizen OF Guthrie
should know that a day current can
not be run except at a loss But the
promoters have faith in Guthrie and
are here to put in their good money
to improve the city and make It an up
to-date town.
The only thing that the city has to
deal with is the arc lights. Under
the old ordinance the city pays IS S3
for every arc night per month, and
uses forty-nine. Under the new con-
tract ever yarc light that is added is
put in a So light per month, all
night service. This saves the city
So. .3S on every light that will be put
in At the end of FIVE years all the
arc lights are to be at Sc per light per
month.
We figure that under the progress
Guthrie is now making, and the in
coming of the railroads, that over
fifty arc lights must be added to the
present service to keep pace with the
progress OF the city. Under the old
contract every arc light added costs
IS Ss per light per month. Now. 1t
the progress of the city demanded fif-
ty lights, the city would save sl,39s
per year, and for FIVE and onehalf
years would save s7,6Ss by the terms
of the new contract. Now add 70 this
the $500 we agree to give the city
free, will be ss,4s9 net gain to the
city as compared with present con
tract.
We ask for an extension of contract
for ten years, and under the ordnance
the city has the privilege OF buying
the new electric light plant on the
first day of October, 1897, at which
time the old contract expires, and
each three years thereafter.
Now, if there is any big thing in
this electric light plant, the city un-
der its contract with the new promot-
ers and under the ordinance passed,
has the right to buy it.
Three Is only one city in the terri
tory that has a Sc light, and that is
Oklahoma City, and 1t gave twenty
one year franchise and it has now
103 arc lights in use. Shawnee pays
$S per month for arc lgiht ESnid
IS per month moonlight schedule, l.
200 candle power. FL Reno pays 81
per month for a midnight arc light.
Perry pays S.75 per month on the
midnight schedule.
The new promoters offer Guthrie all
night service for SO and they stand
willing to put in the franchise and the
contract that they will expend at least
$50 900 / nimproving the plant.
Mr. Doerr further stated to me that
he was going to ask for street rail-
way franchise an dhe expected to
lose a couple of thousand dollars per
year for two or three years in oper-
! ating this street railway.
There is not a citizen in Guthrie
but knows that an electric street rail
wa ywould not pay. But there is an
opportunity TO get the people to ex-
pend thei rmoney in the city and
