points where they would be needed

Chairman Richardson Declares
Charge for Use Of Conduits
Excessive.
---------------------
CITY MAY LAY IT'S OWN

Agreement.
CITY MAY LAY IT'S OWN

II hardly think we will accept the
proposition OF the Virginia Railway
ana Power Company TO allow the city
/ the use OF its conduits for electric
purposes for $1,000 year. said
Chairman Richardson. of the special
subcommittee OF the council commit
tee on electricity Friday, speaking OF
negotiations pending between the
company and city relative to rental
Of the conduits as well as electric
light poles from the company.
A. q matter Of fact" continued
hr. Richardson, I'VE have Ascertain
ed that we can construct conduits
ourselves for something like 5000,
and such being the case, the charge
Of $1,000 looks to be considerably
above reasonable figure. However.
We may reach some agreement with
the company by next Monday night.
when the committee on electricity
meets The company has yet to make
us . proposition relative to rental Of
their poles. but 7 prGsumg come soTt
OF = proposition In that connection
vii, also be submitted for considers
ton Of the committee Monday night"
Mr.. Richardson went on to explain
that the company is at present fur
nishing the city with ssl electric

city when the new municipal electric
lighting plant Ii ready for operation
on July ! or Whereabouts. These
lights are now furnished at cost OF
@t<.75 year.
It's queer thing" explained Mr..
Richardson further. .tfat q city ordf-
nance prohibits the city from erect
Ing It's own poles for eiectrict lighting
purposes. the ordinance having been
passed 10 prevent q congestion or net
work Of poles In any section of the
city. However. we might force the
railway company to take up their
poles and we might put new ones In
their place II we were unable to
eventually come to terms with the
company"
The subcommittee appointed to me-
GOtiate with the company about this
matter consisted originally Of Messrs.
Richardson. Wiltshire and Whittet.
When he was elected president OF the
Hoard of Aldermen. two weeks ago,
Mr.. Whittet was relieved OF service on
the committee. and SO Messrs. Wilt
shire and Richardson are now the
emily members.
