OXFORD, O.-According to reports
from +. Z. Williams, village solicitor,
and Fred H. Froehlich, electrical en-.
gineer, of Toledo, in the employ of
the village, there will be some delay
in the matter of the towns closing a
contract with Robert S. Ashe Of Rich.
mond, Ind. for the purchase of cleo
trio current.
The proposal which Mr.. Ashe sends
for the approval of council" says So
lcitor Williams. varies from the bid
he submitted some weeks ago. He
now asks five cents per X. w. for the
first 1000 X. w. energy furnished in
stead of eighteen mills, as bid. Also
the operation of the contract, as pro-
posed, provides for only $50 X. W.
demand, which Oxford would likely
exceed before long, and when exceed
ed would require new contract.
ALSO no provision is made in Mr..
Ashes proposal for the reconstruction
of transmission lines, and there is no
proposal for bond guaranteeing the
4 performance Of Mr.. Ashes part of the
contract.
It Is understood that the solicitor
and engineer have taken the matter
of these apparent discrepancies UP
