HYDR0'S SUCCESS
TRAVELS FAR

The success of the Hydro is of inter-
est to people as far away as Boulder,
Colorado. H. II. Clark, who was in
the city on the night of the news of
the decision of the federal court, has
written his friend, F. H. Morlan, the
following letter:
The city of Boulder is just taking
up the proposition of municipal owner
ship of electric lighting, and we expect
to have a real fight getting it through.
| was in your city on the evening that
your new company turned on its lights
and was much impressed with the
results, as were told to me while there.
and would be more than pleased to
know how things are working out there
now.
81 would be grateful if you could
get the manager of that company to
make me statement regarding costs
of installing plant, or anything that |
can use to push our fight along.
81 would also like a statement from
you as to how many lights you are
allowed to use and the prices you pay,
as well as the prices of resident light
ing. viii you also give comparative
prices between the charges of the old
company to merchants and what is
now charged for the same service.
