Reclamation Service is Not

Electricity for Lighting
Purposes, Says MI. L. G.
Hill.
WRITES A LETTER
TO MAYOR CHRISTY
This Letter Has Been For
warded to Engineer Bark
er Who is Now Compiling
a Report on Conditions in
Phoenix.

As the situation now stands it IS
impossible for the city OF Phoenix to
purchase from the government electric
power for lighting purposes-even for
street lighting-to say nothing for re
failing it to other consumers for light
ing or any other purpose. 1t can Sc
cure power for operating its pumping
plant which is the only other pur-
pose now conceived for which the
city is likely soon To need power. That
is the substance of correspondence be-
tween Mayor Lloyd b. Christy and L.
c. Hin. supervising engineer Of the rec
lamation service, which was brought
about in the following manner
Some time ago the question Of tha
city's renewing its contract with the
Pacific Gas * Electric Co. for tn
lighting of the city, came before the
council. Desiring to make no mistake
in the matter the council employed En-
gineer Barker Of Los Angeles, an eX-
pert electrician, to come here and in
Vestigate all conditions and report to
the council whether. in his opinion. the
city should make new contract with
the company; install a plant Of its
own; or buy power from the govern
ment. He was also asked to make any
other recommendation that in his opin-
ion would be valuable To the council
Mr.. Barker came here and investigated
the situation. returning to Los Ange-|
les To write his report.
Before doing so he wrote Mayor
Chrlsty asking on what terms the city
could get power for street lighting, as
il had been understood that it could
not secure power for retailing 10 9TH
ers. Mr. Hill was away at the time
and when he returned I'M Christy was
away, but on October 9. when they
We're both here. Mr. Christy addressed
a letter to Mr.. Hill, covering the sub
ject The next day Mr.. Hill responded
with the following letter, a copy Of
which has been forwarded to Engineer
Barker:
Phoenix, Ariz-, Oct 10. 1911.
Hon. Lloyd B. Christy,
Mayor Of Phoenix:
Dear Sir:
In reply to your communication of
October Q. I beg to state that the rec
lamation service is not at the presen.
time in position to furnish power to-
the city Of Phoenix for lighting pur-
poses, on account Of the agreement
made with the Pacific Gas and Elec-
trio Co. when the United States pur-
chased this company's exclusive pow
er rights in the Arizona canal The
reclamation service however, is still
prepared to supply the city with power
To operate its pumping plants on the
same terms which it was prepared to
offer for furnishing such power several
years ago.
