lized for this purpose so far as 1t will
extend. This balance is, under present
conditional. In adequate to permit con-
nections at all consumers premises for
which the City has provisional service
contracts but as 1t Is doubtful IL the
fuel oil dealer will supply the City with
oil In much greater quantities than
last years demand under street light
ing load. this lack of funds Is only
one of the reasons initiating against
immediate commercial service to the
limit of the plant capacity.
We AVE found that Mr.. J.. FRANKIE,
Plant Superintendent, is fully informed
as to the most desirable commercial
business under the before mentioned
provisional contracts and we would
suggest, in order to save contractors
profit, that the Committee and Coun-
ell purchase the necessary equipment
for connections to such consumers and
begin actual commercial business.
Mr.. Franke is thoroughly competent
to carry this work forward and we
shall be glad to advise you as to reg
ular and special rates.
We would also suggest and recon-
mend that asm as Mr.. FRANKIE has
proven himself a competent Plant Su-
p~erintendent he be compensated at the
rate initially estimated for this posi-
ton, l. Q. $4,000 per year.
We enclose bill for hnal payment
for our services on this work.
Respectfully submitted.
