TO THE PUBLIC.

That the public may be fully advised as to our position in the matter of electrical service here make this state ment
 In December last proposition placed before us asking or offering us for electrical current to be brought into this community large power lines in qua titles unlimited.
 We were advised that all other negotiations were off and that unless contract made without delay the lines would go to other localities
 Realizing the great value this community to secure such current for the city, for to pump water on our mesa lands as we'll supply Somerton and Cadsden peo- pie we immediately closed the contract.
 At first we contemplated offering to supply the city as the present of per kowar hour is cer tainy too high and considered placing higher rate than ten cents per owat hour thus lowering the rate nearly one-haf to the consumers.
 Then we advised that could not serve the peo- pie the city without first purchasing the old plant but we decided that not worth repairing and the price de- manded for the old companys business was in udg ment far in excess of its value
 As is well known, under contract, well as the contract secured later by the old company, Electricity the transformer per kowatt hour 2c Allow for transformer losS per koWat hour ...Nc Allow for standby service per klowatt hour .....Hc Allow for of service per kilowatt hour ....Nc Electricity costs at consumers meter kilowatt hour Sc
 We made application to the State Corporation Commis Ol carry along county roads with the view of supplying land with power for pumping water for irrigation and both of these applications strongly opposed by the old company for obvious reasons who also filed similar application although they had never made such move before
 At the hearing of the board of supervisors Proebste and Elliott present Shannsy absent and ill., the old com pany given their license and license held up, FL ot refusing second motion for its being granted which may result in only company being allowed to operate here.
 We wish people to know the conditions. We were gv- exclusive rights under contracts but upon the old company demanding similar contract from the power pany waived our exclusive right but the old company objects to coming into this field under any conditions
 Were it not for the fact that had just completed September St for use modern electrical plant the city would have been without light and possibly water and we have since September furnished all power for lights and water except for shut downs for inspections and adjustments, operating 96 per of the time day and night There have been many other interruptions owing conditions at the old plant but all stops our switchboard are included in above (Signed) E.
