OBSTINATE" VERSUS BID.
Curious and Instructive Experience Of
Ashland, Wis,


Last January Ashland. Wis. voted In
favor of installing municipal cleo
trio light plant. Votes were secured
on the basis of an estimate" that the
complete plant would cost $4,000. this
estimate being made 10y Professor
W. c. kirchoffer of the University OF
Wisconsin. who the lighting committee
stated had been employed by over for
~ cities Of Wisconsin as a consulting
engineer. This committee thus con.
lnued its REPORT:
After thoroughly going over the es-
Inmates the committee can state that
the outside cost OF this entire prOposi-
ton. including everything. will he $50
coo. divided as follows: Concrete and
earth dam. spillway and power house
Sl9,SJ0; turbines and electrical ma
chlnery at power house. $15.430: cleo
tric transmission line. 1880: substa.
ton building and equipment. $500;
arc lighting system. SS.U75; incaudes-
cent lighting system. Sl5.6SO; land
necessary for dam and fowage rights.
$500: engineering plans. sunerintend-
ence. ncidentals. 1875: total. $4,000.
I'm every case these figures repre-
sent the highest possible cost for the
work, as it has been the intention OF
this committee 10 let the people of
Ashland understand whatever estimate
Is made that. in fact. the actual cost
will be under rather than above"
Before the election the ma, or pub.

Germs the committee has been in touch

erect complete plant for $J0,00O. to
he IN operation on or before the lst of
July. This has not been mentioned by
the mayor recently. for when the city
advertised for bids the only bid re-
ceived was for $4,000. and this did
not include transformers. meters or
anything pertaining to commercial
lighting except power circuit.
