The committee appointed by tho
Cresco Commercial Club to investigate
the merits Of the franchise and CON
tract presented by the Interstate Pow
er Company met with the city council
and representatives of the company
and discussed the various points ae

vice and protection to our city, and at
ter careful consideration of the varf
Gus contracts submitted and the one
finally approved by the power com.
pany, it was given endorsement by the
committee and they recommend its en-
dorsement by the voters and property
owners of the city of Cresco The
final draft of this contract as discus
sed at the various meetings held in
connection with this matter appears
herewith The Commercial Club

other concern in Cresco, outside Of
the city itself, we are therefore vitality
interested in service and protection,
and have given the franchise and con
tract our earnest and unprejudiced
consideration and in our opinion the
contract and franchise as submitted
and approved by the power company
are fair in every respect, and the PEG
pie of Cresco will have nothing to
gain by voting down the franchise.
Our factory is wholly dependent up
on the power furnished by the light
company for the operation of our
business, and we have made investt
cation of the power company's added
improvements both under way and to T.,
commence in very near future, and we
have no occasion to question their
sincerity Of purpose. We have of late
noted an appreciate added improve
ment in service.
"The fact that the light and power
company are operating now without a
franchise makes the city liable for
damages in case of accident, ETC., and
as we interpret the franchise and
contract the city retains the privilse
es Of and in fact every privilege Of
legislative government in these mat
tiers and even to the disfranchisemen
of the light company should occasion
warrant It. ..*..
