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