The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-04-12

In order that you may be more de-
I/hnitcly advised as to the amount men
toned 10 the letter of our General
Manager we have determined 1t to be
approximately $4,000. This offer is
still open for acceptance by Logan
City, payment therefor to be made in
cash or paper bankable at par.
Your next proposition Is:
FOURTH That in case Logan
City should need power to serve its
patrons from the time said business
is turned over to it, to the installing
Of the second unit, that said Telluride
Power company will sell such power at
the same rate per horse as shall be
paid by said company to Logan City
for power with which TO pay for the
property herein concerned"
This Is proposition that The Tell
uridc Power company shall bind itself
to sell power to Logan City in the
event the City shall need 1t without
in any way binding Logan City to take
any Of the power or to pay therefor.
The amount of electric energy which
this company can produce is not I'M
limited This energy it sells and
when IL has sold all it can produce it
has no more for sale Consequently,
If itshould bind itself to supply Logan
City with electric power as suggested,
1t must, in order to be able to comply
with such agreement, at all times re-
serve from sale and keep on hand such
an amount of power as you may re-
quire while, on the other hand, Logan
City does not bind itself to take or pay
for any Of the power so reserved and
held for it, moments thought will
convince you that this is wholly one
sided proposition, requiring our COM
pany to hold for your use from three
to five hundred horse power of elcctri-
cal energy for which we are to receive
no compensation whatever except In
the event that you should suddenly
decide you needed some indefinite
amount. While it is probable that
you would not call upon our company
for any power, we would still be COM
PEELED to reserve 10 in order not to
leave ourselves liable for failure to
perform our promise to furnish it in
case YOU should need power.
The next proposition IS:
"FIFTH-That said company in
stall a unit in the power house OF Lo-
gan CITY in Logan canyon, consisting
of new machinery of five hundred
horse power, either Westinghouse or
General Electric, as to the generator
and either Victor or Leffel as to
manufacture of the wheel, at the
option Of Logan City. To be com
pleted in every way and subject to ac-
ceptance by any competent engineer
on whom both parties can agree. A
Lombard governor to be initalled.
That said machinery shall be installed
ready for operation by September
First, 1905"
In the preamble to your resolutions
YOU say that you find this unit can be
provided at approximately $8,000,00,
thereby doubling the capacity of your
plant. We do not concur in your final
estimate Of the cost Of this unit. Our
experience is that the total costs of
such installations are usually greatly
under-estimated, ana we venture 10
suggest tlat the hlstoryol the partial
installation OF your power plant mace
by you TO GATE lustlhes our CONCLUSION
In any event, tIis company could not
at the present time under any condl,
Ilons UNDERTAKE 10 install your second
unit as the WORK u mas IN ilanu re,
CURES al the Time Oh lls oi'lcers anu
employees
fo@r resolutions contain q further
proposition that payment OF the pur'
chase price
(a)-of our lighting system in Logan
City,
(b)-of the power which YOU require
MS not to sell but to hold i'm reserve
for the use of Logan CITY.
