To The Honorable, The Board of
Commissioners of The City of
Canton.

NduLOu
Gentlemen:-
In presenting the ordinance filed
herewith the applicant desires to
state In explanation thereof: First.
That the rates therein permitted are
materially less than the people Of the
city of Canton have heretofore enjoy
ed and as liberal rs present conditions
warrant. That 1t shall be the policy
OF the applicant as soon as it's power
plant can be constructed and equipp-
ed to give to the inhabitants of the
City Of Canton as good lighting and
power service as is convenient with a
reasonable return upon the expendi-
ture that will be required and in
earnest thereof the slide between the
established rates should indicate sim
certify of purpose. Second. We have
bought at large expense the water
power site at Beloit, Iowa, and at
considerable expense in time and
money procured an abstract Of title
together with overflow privileges APP
pertaining thereto and intend in good
faith to improve and utilize the same
as a part Of our water power system
The expenditure of Six Thousand
Dollars for procuring this power and
overflow privileges should be sufficient
evidence of our intent and purpose.
1t is a known fact that all attempts
to construct and build a permanent
dam at the old site have proven futile
but we are of opinion that a perman-'
emit dam can be constructed at or
nea the old dam site and intend to
enter upon it's construction and COM
pletion at the earliest opportunity
and to maintain the same after con
struction if such maintainence Is
practicable. But, we cannot under
take to do the impractical and cannot
afford to hazard the success of our
entire enterprise In such an under
taking. The same Is true as to
change of rates. We cannot under
take to furnish a II cent rate until
our water power is installed and in
oPOiooiohs AhS CAIouIhS IuDCo uuoCI
present conditions are as low as can
be furnished and will remain so until
cheaper power can be secured.
If the ordinance herewith present.
ed is legally adopted we desire to push
the work of securing such cheaper
motor power with all reasonable dis
patch and to furnish the twelve cent
as soon as such power can be
utilized. We submit the reasonable
ness of this as a business proposition
to the good Judgment of the commiss-
toner's trusting that both you and the
will view it from the stand
point of a business proposition on the
part of the people and the applicant.
Ii the ordinance is enacted, uncondi-
tional acceptance will be filed at once
the city auditor.
Respectfully submitted
The Sioux Valley Power Co.
