paying $11.40 q year per lamp. The
proposed rate 10 e13 q year per lamp
More Light; Less Cost.
In addition to paying the rates as
given above the city has been paying
the cost of maintaining the lights and
the service. Under the proposed con-
tract the utilities company pays all
maintenance costs. In addition it Is to
maintain and paint the present electro
liers that the city retains as its pro-
perry.
Councilman John I. Bell, head Of the
city lighting department, said the an
nual city budget for street lights was
about $11, 400 now. Under the proposed
contract he said the city would be able
to replace its arc lights with IN
cadescent lamps and place eighty-four
additional 100 candle power lamps on
dark street corners not now lighted for
about $500 a year. He estimates the
saving to the city will approximate
$4,000 a year. and the city will nave
! $500 candle power more lights On the
streets than it now has.
The terms Of the proposed contrac'
as agreed upon are compromise, pe-
tween rates offered by the public ul-
lities company. and those proposed by
the city in the preliminary neg otiations.
The proposed rates are based on cleo
tricity delivered to the lamps at slight
" less than 8 cents per K. W. h. plus
the estimated maintenance charge.
Terms Of the contract were agreed
upon Wednesday afternoon at con-
ference at which the Iowa Railway x
Light Company was represented oS
Col. w. G. BOWS. president: John Reed,
vice president and others Of its officers.
