After we have received the report Of
the committee It may be necessary to
consider a bond issue or to secure part
of the funds. out of our revenues, or
perhaps arrange for part Of It in the
budget for next year. The council
should not take action until we have
the fun report from the committee,
so that we may proceed lntelligently
and know what we are doing before
we incur further debt upon the city
and it should not be presented until a
full attendance Of the council can be
had.
Il request that this protest be made
a part Of the record.
Il want to protest against this bond
! ordinance at this inopportune time.
We have voted over $2,oOO,OO0 Of
bonds and have not spent any Of it
in fact have only sold $4,000 worth
Of bonds, and are expecting soon to
sell some more bonds for sewers. The
| proposal Of this bond ordinance at
| this time would have a tendency to
interfere without securing a good
price for the bonds that we are now
advertising for sale and the public
have n right before issuing more bonds
to expect the mayor and council tc
expend the bond money already au-
thorized before contracting further in.
debtCdness on the city.
This does not mean that I am un.
favorable to the soldiers meme orial, az
I voted for twelve out Of thirteen o.
the bond propositions, and the one
voted against carried"

hours, which was tho estimated
amount produced by our city light
plant, for little over $4,000. During
the last fiscal year it has cost us over
s54, 900 to operate the plant. The
actual cost of current produced at the
plant has been estimated at one-half
of the total half. SO that the current
on this basis costs little over S27 900.
On account Of the apparent saving
that is possible, it seemed proper that
we take up the matter with the street
car company and secure a proposition
from them for furnishing current in
stead OF manufacturing it.
THE approximate cost to the city
per kilowatt hour. not including the
administrative, is 3.s cents per kilo-
watt hour. while the street car COM
pany's bid was 1.S cents per kilowatt
hour for the first 100000 kilowatt
hours. additional current at l cent per
kilowatt hour, which means that we
/ can buy current at about one-third of
the price that it can be produced at
the city's lighting plant, or about the
cost Of coal only.
