Mr.. TwOmbly, engineer, selected
by you, is now making surveys and
preliminary plans for the consolida-
ton and improvement of the two
plants. by which we will greatly re-
duce the cost of operation in the saw
ing of labor and fuel. We recon-
mend and advise plans for a modern
and up-to-date electric light and wa
ter plant, equipped with the most
modern and economical machinery
of sufficient size to take care Of
the city's present and future re-
quirements for several years to come.
And when these changes have been
made and economies effected, we rec
ommend that meters be placed at all
taps for water and that the present
meter rate be reduced from $40 to
S12 per year and that all charges for
water over maximum, 100, 900 gall
Ions, be reduced from 15c. to 10c.
per thousand gallons. We also
would advise a further reduction in
price of electric current. We would
the electric light and water plants
be used to retire the bonds outstand-
ing and for extensions and improve
ments Of the respective plants and
not transferred to other department
funds as is now being done.
We would also advise the creation
OF board of public works of from
three to five members for four to
six year terms of office, so as to OBJ
tain the services of our ablest bust
ness men and in order to entirely re-
move from politics the management
of all our public utilities and works,
as we realize the usual extravaganza,
in efficiency and poor service of near
ly all public business handled by the
average board of aldermen, greatly
caused by frequent changes of COM
mittees, short terms of service and
playing politics. If this is not done.
we would then advocate the adoption
OF a commission form of government
provided for in the acts of the last
legislature. Respectfully.
