The franchise would reflect favorably on the in
dustrial and business climate in Lexington, making
1T attractive to industrial projects.
The franchise would provide for a continuation
of the payment of 2b of the Company's residential
and commercial revenues to the city of Lexington,
which payments are estimated at $16O,OOO.O0 over
the life of the franchise.
Granting the franchise will enable the Company
to make long range plans to assure the Lexington
area an adequate and dependable supply of electric
power to meet the future growth. The assurance of
adequate electric power would in turn make the area
more attractive to prospective new industries and
residents.
WHAT IS H TERM OF H NEW FRANCHISE?
Twenty-Five years. A new franchise would in effect
cancel the one presently existing and give the Com
pany a 25-year lease instead of the nine years re-
naming.
is THERE ANY DIFFERENCE THE
PRESENT FRANCHISE M THE NEW ONE
REQUESTED BY MP&L?
The new franchise is exactly the same as the one
presently in effect.
