and according to our understanding,
Florida state law will not permit an
exclusive franchise, but we are re-
liably informed that our state laws
grant all privileges that the fran
chise does, with minor or inconse-
quential exceptions.
All of these facts lead up to what
we consider a fair and impartial
proposition that we offer for your
consideration and in an honest and
abiding effort to cooperate with you
for the good of Palatka.
We are not entering into the mer-
its or demerits of the city's case in
court. We do believe that it is pos
sible to save to the city every cent Of
court costs if the council is inclined
from a business standpoint to grant
to every business a fair return on
their investment.
Our proposal to you, therefore, is
that--speaking for taxpayers, you
withdraw the city's suits against the
Southern Utilities company with the
purpose of determining out Of court
what is a just and fair rate for the
citizens and taxpayers to pay for the
iselvices of the Utilities company. We
I feel that you will not deny that a
court of competent jurisdiction Will
allow the Utilities company such a
return, and we point out that We may
well make an effort to determine
that basis ourselves, without court
costs, at a considerable saving ir
money. If the city wins their suits
! time and money must be reckoned bJ
the taxpayers, and if we lose thu
suits. certainly the costs that thu
! Utilities company have been put t.
will appear in their operating costs
ard we Fay the expenses anyway, II
addition the city of Palatka canno
compel the operating company t.
continue here if, as they claim, the!
are losing money.
If we may be trifle selfish, W
would point out that 1921 pay rol
of $4,000 would be welcome item
in many Florida cities.
We make this proposition to you
therefore, solely from bushes
viewpoint, and to you as bushes
men. and we hope for your favorabI
consideration.
