THE ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTRACT.

To the Editor of the Alexandra Gazette
The article published in the Gazette
of June % under the caption Investi-
eating Electric Light" led many Of
your readers to believe that it was a
brief report of the special COM
mittee appointed by Council to inves-
tigate and ascertain as TO whether the
city was being furnished proper lights
and service as per contract with the
Alexandria Electric Company, We de-
sire to inform your readers. and the
public that we did not inspire that ar
ticle, nor have we ever given out any
other statement than the official report
furnished by the secretary and stenog-
rapher, Mr.. Ii. n. Garner.
Only some portions of Mr.. Belts
statement were published in that article.
There is an old adage which says that
only a portion of the truth hurts worse
than lie, and so in this case.
The Alex ndria Electric Company
entered into contract with the city to
furnish So A. c. lamps at S75 per lamp
all of which lights to be of 1000 candle
power. On cross examination OF Mr..
Belts by Mr.. Fisher, our Corporation
Attorney, Mr.. Belts was asked:
You have told us the candle power Of
a gas flame, of a piece Of hot steel and
of the sun, what is the candle power Of
these arc lamps on the streets in the
city Of Alexandria
Answer by Mr.. Betts-About $50 or
$50; possibly 400 candle power.
The article stated that Mr.. W. A.
Taught an expert from the General
Electric Company, testified that the
present lamp met the requirements Of
the company's contract with the city.
Below is the answers by Mr. Taught
to questions of Councilman Spinks on
cross examination.
Mr.. Spinks-Speaking Of this lamp
you state that recently it has been con-
sidered that II ampere lamp is a
nominal 1000 candle power lamp.
Mr.. Faught-Yes sir, for the last 8
or 4 years something like that
Mr.. Spinks-This contract was en-
tered into with the city prior to that
time by the Alexandria Electric Com
pany, was it not?
Nj. Faught-I don't know that; the
only thing l know about the contract
is that section there that | have Just
heard Mr.. Harlow read.
Mr.. Spinks-You have not read in
there that the city is to receive a IN
ampere lamp which shall fulfill the
terms of this contract, have you?
Mr. Faught--I have not read the
contract at ali; l don't know what is in
there.
Mr.. Spinks-You don't know any
thing about the Alexandria electric
light plant except what Mr.. Weller has
told you, do your
Mr.. Faught-The only thing that
know about the plant is what ! have
told you here; l have inspected the
the regulators as | told you and the
plant; | don't know anything about
the operation Of the company OF course
l am only here as an expert on these
matters.
