Grant Lake Power Discussed by City

Following the special session of the City Council on Wednesday, November 17th, the Utilities Board met in joint special session with the Council to hear a new pro- posal from the Grant Lake Power group.
 MT. Graves, President of the Grant Lake group, made the pre- sentation of the new agreement which though substantially un- changed from the previous offer, did present the proposition in a different light than previously. Ac- cording to the new proposal, the Grant Lake group would not ask for any guarantee of power use. The rates at which the City would purchase power would be agreed to but would be subject to review by the Federal Power Commis- sion.
 The rates, though somewhat in- volved because of the manner in which charges for, electric power are made, would boil down to an estimated average cost to the City of about 25 mills. At present the diesel plant is producing power at about 24.3 mills, it is reported, in the latest engineering and finan- cial report of the City Utilities. Also at least for the immediate future, the City has enough gener- ating capacity to handle a load nearly double the present demand. Since there were a couple of new Council and Utilities Board members and the City still had not heard from it's engineer, Mr. Har- stad, regarding the engineer Il g feasibility report on the Ptarmigan and Crescent Lake hydro-electric projects, it was decided to con- tinue the meeting until next Mon- day evening, November 29th when it is believed Mir. Harstad and the engineer for the Grant Lake group will both be on hand to act as a board of experts to advise their respective clients on the technical problems involved.
 Immediately following the spec ial session the resignation of Clar- ence Larson was accepted and Al win Schmoyer was sworn in to fill the vacancy. Larson who was elected to office only last month, submitted his resignation as re- suit of his heavy schedule of work at the Post Office, it was reported.
