ity of the service rendered and also in the pecuniary saving to private consumers and as sources of revenue to the respective cities. The works at South NorWaIk have been estab- lished a longer time than those at Norwich and ther refore afford a better opportunity to judge what can be ac- ,complisheds by a municipally owned lighting plant. South Norwalk has saved money on it's street lighting. has sold electricity to private con sumers at reduced rate and witha1 has not only paid for it's plant our of it's earnings but during the last f1s- cal year made profit of $30,000. Is any stronger argument needed to Oh- tain serious hearing and earnest consideration of this proposition than the striking success of our neigh boring city in this county?
 There is another feature of this question to which I wish to call your attention and which wish to em- phasize for fear there may be any misund derstanding in regard to it. If my recommendation were followed and said resolution adopted. you would not by that action be finally commit ting the city to public ownership or an electric lighting plant. It would simply be the first step in proceed ings necessary to permit the voters Of the city to pass upon the question.
 
 der to get the question presented to the electors, affirmative action for the purpose must be taken by the com mon council, by a two-thirds vote Nor those present at the meeting, in each of two consecutive municipal years. You will therefore see that am not advocating any very radical action. All that ask is that you cooperate with me in having the question prop erly submitted to those who are most interested, namely the people whom we represent. The municipal year Is drawing to a close and if we do nor act during the life of this council, the matter will necessarily be post poned a year. I would therefore ear nestly urge upon you what I believe to be your public duty, namely to again take up the resolution to which I have referred and adopt it by the required vote.
 Respectfully submitted this 2nd day of October 1911.
