Navy Rejects
City Assuming
Electric Load
Offers Counter
Proposal To City
Electric System

A proposal that City Electric Sys-
tenn take over the entire Navy load
of electricity was not acceptable
to the Navy, it was announced at
the Utility Board meeting yester-
day.
The recommendation for aSsump.
ton by City Electric was made
by R. w. Beck, consulting en-
gineers for the system.
Conferences were held with Navy
representatives regarding a new
power contract with the Navy.
Navy loads have grown faster
than their power supply, Dunton
said,
On October 10 the Navy asked
about the possibility of working
out new contract 10 provide them
with additional firm power.
"As an approach to this pro-
blem, said A. H. Dunton, Beck
engineers, 1--WE prepared for con-
Sideration proposal that City
Electric System take over the en-
tire Navy load. This proposal
was not acceptable to the Navy
and they have presented a counter
proposal of their own which will
be given further study"
Beck's proposal that City Elec-
trio take over would have the fol-
lowing advantages Dunton wrote:
Il. Indignation of facilities and
steam plant economies would per-
NIT you (City Electric) to serve
the Navy at a power cost lower
than their present cost.
q. 1t would be possible for City
Electric System to earn a subs.
tantional net profit of at least
$50, 600 per- year.
5. Integr&ti0n 81 facilities
would increase the firm capacity
of the Navy and City Electric Sys-
tenn"
