present plant Immediately, at cost
not to exceed 5000. The capacity
Of said generator to be not more

feels that in order to give the citi-
zens the proper service to extend the
lighting of the city and to take care
Of these extraordinary expenses it is
absolutely necessary that you adopt

would be fair to the tax payers of
his city or that it would be business
ike to attempt to operate the plant

We also recommend that the Mar

county Board of Trade be supplied
