 Mexican Herald: Active work is being continued on the new theater and three hundred and fifty working men have been added to the force, most of whom are being used to stop the sinking of the southwest corner of the struct- ure. In order to do this the foundation is being extended. In this work three hundred and sixty tons of cement have been used this month. However, work on the interior has been practically discontinued, as no definite decor ations have been decided upon, except the curtain, auditorium dome, and proscenium arch. The curtain is an exquisite one, with Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl in the background. It was made by Tiffany and company, of New York City. It was on exhibition at the Tiffany art studio for about three weeks, and was much ad- mired and pronounced by critics to be the most beautiful curtain in the world. The auditorium dome is a very costly and beauti- ful piece of art glass work. The proscenium arch is also a very ex. quisite piece of Mosaic work. It was made in Budapest and is now being very carefully put together and very soon will be ready to be put in place. Samples for flooring, columns and other decorations are being tried but it has not yet been decided what will be used The stage has been finished and the latest machinery for shifting scene ry and raising the curtains has been installed. It has six hundred square meters of floor space. The exterior has all been finished with exception of the cupola three of the bronze statues, that are to go one at each corner of the building.

A CARD TO THE CITIZENS
OF AMERICUS,

To the Citizens of Americas:
The Americas Gas and Electric
Company regret they are forced to
resort to this method in order to in
form you what actually transpired at
the last meeting of the city council
of Americas, inasmuch as The Times
Recorder has seen fit for some reason,
to print as facts something which did
not occur.
In order that you may be informed
of the truth, the only means of get
ting this information to you is as paid
advertisement. However, we promise
you now that the citizens of Americas
will at all times be informed as to
the true proceedings of your mayor
and council, cost what it may.
The Times-Recorder in its issue of
Tuesday morning, June 21st, prints as
a news item in BIG HEADLINES the
following:
Both lighting companies also made
bids for lighting the streets, which
were. referred to the city engineer
with authority for the mayor to exc
cute contracts as approved by the
city attorney" We state to you that
this publication is absolutely untrue
and without foundation. The Ameri-
Gus Gas and Electric Company did not
know that any bid to light the streets
of Americas would be submitted or
considered at this meeting and it was
only by accident that T. D. Nesbitt,
president of the Americas Gas and
Electric Company, was present, and It
was to him a complete surprise when
this offer was made by the Americas
Power Company without any plant in
to do something then i'm
possible. Greater was his surprise
when this offer was accepted without
being submitted to a competitive bid By
the Americas Gas & Electric Company.
No bid was made by the Americas Gas
& Electric Company. How could WEI
We ask you, citizens of Americas,
who are not interested in the new

w elearn from yesterdays pape"
that the mayor has signed contrac
with the Americas Power Compan'
upon the approval of City Enginee"
Ansley, to furnish 109 Tungsten lamps
and Fl arc lamps for 100000. Surel
neither City Engineer Ansley nc
Mayor Mathis are informed as to IL
character of a tungsten street lamp
We think the people should be inform
ed and it is our purpose to inforA
you, and ask you to go further al
inform yourselves outside OF OF,

statement.
These tungsten lights are the char
acter of lights now used in small coun-
try villages where it is too expensive
to use the better arc lights and they
are not suitable for up to date street
lights for a city of the size and pro-
gressiveness of Americas. These
tungsten lights are less expensive and
are not efficient for street lighting
purposes.
The price contracted to be paid by
the present mayor and city council of
Americas, many of whom we learn,
are backing the new enterprise, is
greater than that paid by other towns
for this same kind of service. Tung-
stem lights are usually sold for $500
per light. Waycross has tungsten
lights and is paying $3.50 per light.
The contract made by the city OF
Americas calls for q arc lights for
which they are now paying this CON-
pany $4,000, which at the same rate
would be $1,365.O0 paid for q are
lights. This would leave out of the
100000 to be paid the sum of $3,639.00
for 109 tungsten lights, an average OF
.Of 1888 per lamp, when Waycross
gets these tungsten lamps for $22.5
per lamp. Why this difference?
The Americas Gas & Electric Com
pany has ordered the latest up-to-date
Magnetic Electric Arc Lamps, the
same character and type as are used
in the larger cities of the United
States, which were to be shipped with
in one week, but on account of the ac-
ton of the city council on Monday
night we are forced to telegraph the
Westinghouse Company to cancel our
order.
If the new plant is to be built as a
means of competition and for the pur-
pose of giving the citizens of Americas
the benefit of competition, then why
should the mayor and city council of
Americas, at the first opportunity for
competition, refuse to give the Ameri-
Gus Gas and Electric Company a
square deal and the privilege of COM
peting in the bid for street lights?
All we ask of the city council of
Americas and the citizens of Americas
is fair play. We know we cannot get
this from the city council and can on
ly expect it from the citizens of Amer
icus.
We have invested our money with
you in good faith, have supplied you
with an up to date electric plant and
are giving you good service except the
street lights, for which we had given
an order, and we ask you, as fair
minded people, should the Americas
Power Company, whose plant is moi
yet built, be given any special privil-
eyes and this company be treated I'm,
fairly? We believe not.
Yours sincerely,
AMERICUS GAS & ELECTRIC co,
