a, TEMPORARY STRUCTURE FOR
NEW UNIT DISCUSSED
BY COUNCIL.

Preliminary plans Tor the erection Of
an entirely new municipal electric light
plant, as well as for a, single new unit
which would be housed in temporary
structure until such time as, a per
n1anents 'large building could be put up,
were submitted to the city council at a
special meeting, held last Wednesday
evening, by Supt. A. j Mueller of the
municipal electric light and water plant,
who had had them prepared by Mime
apolis engineer at the instance of the
lefty fathers.
Entire New Plant.
= The set Of plans providing for an
entirely new municipal plant were
only tentative, but showed the proposed
location of the various machinery and
other necessary equipment which would
be housed therein. Two separate and
distinct proposals We're submitted, and
Supt. Mueller Informed the council that
only the most necessary work had been
done on the plans, prior to submitting
them for the councils examination and
approval. A structure, 9Ox9O feet, is
proposed and, together with the neces-
sary equipment, would cost approx
mately 100000. The specifications are
to include various labor-saving de
vices. to be bid upon separately, so that
the council may adopt or reject any in
dividual items, if desired.

would obviate the undesirable features

Fiaan ing the Plant
/ The greatest obstacle to overcome in
connection with the proposed erection
of an entirely new municipal plant, as
well as in case only a temporary build
ing to house the new unit is put up, is
the financing Of the project. The
council is somewhat reluctant to ask the
voters of the city for another bond issue,
coming as it would, so soon after the one
for the new municipal building On
the other hand, the city treasury is at
low ebb and there are no immediate
prospects for a change for the better
It was suggested that the local banks,
or the citizens at large be given an
opportunity to subscribe for bonds as
a means Of raising the necessary funds.
These bonds, in case they were offered
to the public, would be issued in small
denominations, so that people in
moderate circumstances could purchase
them. .
To Prepare Plans.
Supt. Mueller was instructed to go
ahead with the plans and have them
completed by the Minneapolis engineer
who started them. It will require a
few weeks at least to accomplish this
work, whereupon the plans and specifi-
cations viii again be submitted to the
council. After receiving its approval,
bids can be called for and the contract
awarded.
