August 5th, 1913
To the Honorable City Council:
Gentlemen: On a visit to the city
electric light plant on the evening OF
Tuesday, July 30th, my attention
was called by Mr.. Woods, the night
operator, to certain alleged defects in
the machinery of the plant, due as
Mr.. Woods claimed to negligence in
operation and maintenance.
Knowing but little about machin-
cry, and not having confidence in my
own judgment on such matters,
asked Mr.. Woods if he would show
these defects to others who had more
knowledge of such matters. He said
he would be glad to, and the next day
i asked Mr.. Sexton, Mr.. John Taylor,
Mr.. McIver, Mr.. Benjamin and Mr..
Leavengood if they would 60 to the
plant with me. ! also called up Mr..
Osbornes' residence to invite him as
chairman of that department, but he
was not in town. Mr.. Taylor said
that he would be out of town, but
would send Mr.. Whitley, his engineer,
who knew more about such matters
than he did,
The party went to the plant at 8
o'clock the evening of Wednesday
31st, and Mr.. Woods showed every
thing to them that he had shown to
me. At the conclusion of the inspec-
ton, it was the unanimous opinion of
those present that machinery and
plant were not being properly cared
for, and that the machinery was 60
ing down because of lack of atten-
tion.
The following is list of the de-
fects shown:
Oil Engine: Main and crank bear
