Arizona republican., 1911-07-04

A. Donofrio, j. NJ Shot, III. b. Kers-
sting. most of whom were present
in the flesh when the following pc
tition was presented to the council:
In asking the municipality to APP
ply to the United States government
without delay for electric power for
street lighting. pumping, and other
municipal purposes, we beg to repre-
sent:
Il. The Reclamation Act provides
that cities will be given preference in
the use of power from reclamation
projects.
20. That officials of the govern
ment and water users repeatedly
promised that the city would be given
its power requirements at cost
20. That Phoenix pays now each
year $4,000 on the moonlight schedule,
and on this basis to light the city
properly would be prohibitive. To
increase rates can be avoided.
a. For California fuel oil for the
city water works the city is now
paying $4,000 a year, which should be
ers here.
IS. The former secretary of the in
terror stated in effect that the city
would be granted power upon appli-
cation. and we believe the present
secretary will be no less fair.
&c. We suggest the appointment of
a committee of five citizens to CO.
operate with your honorable body to
the end that the city may come into
possession of its rights in respect to
power. more and better lights, at less
cost. and a discontinuance of sending
our money away for fuel when our
own electric power remains unused"
The following on the same general
subject was presented by the Pacific
Gas and Electric company:
Having been approached by the
committee in charge of the orna-
mental street lighting contemplated
for the streets of this city, regarding
the rate for such lighting, and owing
to the fact that the contract for arc
lighting will expire early this fall. we
respectfully request your honorable
body TO consider at this time, the
matter of rates for arcs and orna-
mental street lights in an endeavor
TO have both included in a contract.
for the same period of time
and would like to ask that should we
eliminate the monthly charge per arc
amp, would the council look with
-avor on a proposition from us to
'urnish all current for all necessary
lights required for the city on a kilo- |
watt basis, measured at our station |
~ our meters.
We are DESTROYS to aid In every |
possible way in the installation of the |
ornamental street lights, and are pre-
JARED to take up the matter of figur-
ng on a encouragement of rates.
which would compensate us for the
ervice rendered. even though the new
ystem would necessitate the installa-
ion by us of new apparatus to han
lie the ornamental street lighting
ystem.
Yours very truly.
