in this amendment is the DISPOSE
ton of the surplus revenue of the
commission and that this issue is
satisfactorily disposed in the fol-
lowing manner:
l. As a tax free institution, the
light plant enjoys a net revenue
beyond that Of a private company
rendering the same services. At
the same time the City Govern
ment and the Board of Education
are deprived of certain income
that they would enjoy if the light
plant were a private concern.
THEREFORE, it seems only fair
that they should in some man
ner receive compensation for this
loss.
2. The amendment provides
that the Municipal Service Com
mission shall furnish lighting,
water and heating services to the

city and prevents the use of fur
ther funds by the city except as
approved by the council and .
vote of the electors OF the city.
3. The amendment provides for
a payment of five per cent Of the
net income to the Board of Edu-
cation. This amount is expected
to compensate for the loss Of tax
revenue incurred because the
plant is tax free.
4. The amendment preserves
the right of the commission to
return surplus funds to the user
in the form of light dividends.

can they legally give anything that

INITIAL MONEY
FURNISHED BY TAXPAYER
When these plants were started,
the initial money was furnished by
the taxpayers. Several times, in
their early growth, they were assist
ed by the taxpayer. If anything now
of a major proportion happened to
our plants, it would be the taXpay-
ers again who would have to pay
Therefore. it is my profound con-
viction that any benefit accruing
from the profitable operation of
these plants belongs to the tax
payer.
have no quarrel with those who
say that the consumer should ben
eft by reasonable rates But, ]
wish to point out that they do en-
Joy the lowest cost for light and
power in the state. And, whenever
possible, thru dividends they should
be given cheaper light and power
1t should be understood that this
amendment takes nothing away
from the Commission in its rate
fixing powers.
REFLECT GOOD
MANAGEMENT
The financial position of our
plants today reflects good manage
ment, under the Commissions d.
rectBn. The light plant today is
of large enough capacity to supply
current for considerable expansion
and is free and clear. 1t has some
S550,GOO for future expansion. The
water plant has ample reserves
that at maturity will pay off al
existing bonds and can, for all pur-
poses, be called free and clear. II
has S25O.00O for the establishment
of a new water intake from a
proven excellent source of supply
and work on this project is now
under way. Both plants have ample
operating capital The earnings OF
the light plant have been, in round
figures, $4,000 and 100000 re-
spectively in the last two years. II
now has approximately s55C,OOO
Seven hundred fifty thousand dol
lars is considered ample to hold in
reserve. 1t therefore can be easily
deduced that, barring major upset

sity proposed and passed upon by
the voters.
SCHOOL BOARD
LEVIES TAXES
Insofar as the school district re-
ceiving \ portion of City funds, I
wish to point out that the City
levieS taxes and that the School
Board levies taxes, and to the tax
payer it matters little out of which
pocket he pays taxes and, therefore,
it is immaterial from which source
he is saved from paying taxes.
I believe that the establishment
of a quorum and vote as proposed
is an important adjunct to proce-
dure because it requires a majority
Of the Commission to pass on any
measure.
COMMISSION SHOULD
ESTABLISH SALARIES
] believe that the Commission
should have the right to establish
salaries, even though it takes away
a prerogative of the Council. The
salaries now paid. and which have
been paid under the entire tenure
of our present charter, are not now
and. I think, never have been out
of line with the position
The change of title from Super

sition are. as in this case, identi-
cal. If my observation is correct
past COu-. ills have sometimes OBJ
jected to certain increases, but they
have never denied them. From the
beginning, past performance leads
me TO the conclusion that I can
trust our Commissions to exercise
good judgment.
l believe, because of increased
costs of equipment and supplies and
the necessity of moving faster in
some cases than our present charter
provides, that it is reasonable tt
allow the Commission to spend up
to 5000 without the Councils per-
mission. AS a Councilman, l feel
that under the provision of buying
thru the Purchasing Department
and bids, can watch expenditures
and could object publicly before
any damage could be done. Again
