$195 co. This bid includes, with the exception
of Tungsten lamps carbon fllament lamps which
was thoroughly explained in our Mr.. Buck talk
The number of carbon flament lamps is prac-
tically As, may be one or two more or may be one
or two less, but we would suggest that the Tung-
stem lamp be used through out the building as
this would, as has been already been explained
reduce to great extent the actual cost of current
consumed in filaments which makes only a small
sum of SIS. 90 to be added to the $195 CO. as this

soon be paid in light bills, were you to use the

Supervisor.
To the Honorable County Board of Pierce County
Wisconsin.
Your special committee appointed to investi-
gate the question of lighting the buildings at the
county poor farm would respectfully report that
we are convinced that the proper method of
lighting said buildings is the electric system.
That after careful consideration and investi-
CATION, we would recommend that this county
install electric lights in the county poor farm
buildings in accordance with the proposal of
Ellsworth Heat Light and Power Company, that
we accept the proposition made In said proposal OF
$195 for wiring said buildings complete as in said
proposal mentioned, and would recommend that
the county purchase the meter.
We also recommend that this county accept
their proposition to furnish all materials neces-
sary to run the feed wires to connect said build
ings with the power plant at cost to them
and under their supervision.
We also would recommend that the question
of the kind of lights be left to the discretion of
the poor commissioners and that the cost of in
stalling said system of lighting be paid out of the
general fund in the usual manner, upon the ac-
ceptance of the work by the poor commissioners.
