<br />To the Mori. Board of Public Works
<br />Gentle men :
<br />During the years the'present traffic signal system hes been in service the
<br />C ity has been p eying for the operating electric current on a metered basis which vari
<br />from month to month and no two me to rs s eene d to read a 1 ike .
<br />For some time we Ir-ve had converaati ons w ith the Indiana and Michigan
<br />Electric Company in regard to this situation for it made it very difficult for us to
<br />anticipate the oper^tion costs in planning the street lighting, budget. It was also
<br />necessary for the City to provide meter housings at the various locations and there w
<br />was no appropre itions to cover such expense.
<br />The Indiana and Michigan Electric Company has now come to a definite con-
<br />clusion as to a flat rate for the traffic signals, vhich v311 average considerabDy
<br />less than they have been receiving do a metered basis.
<br />The following rates are proposed:
<br />For suspended_ Type Traffic Signals, $45.00 per year.
<br />!I F:-;r Post Type Tra ff ie Sugnals , I5.00 per year.
<br />i
<br />This is a much wetter rate than I had anticipated and I recommend that the
<br />rates be: approved.
