Dear Sir :-
Some months ago we received a letter from you signfying that your company
would be glad to co-operate with the Board of Public Works in making toe boulevard lights
continuous on Lafayette Boulevard by maintaining two incandescent lights at 1he corner o
Division Street and Lafayette Boulevard.- I believe that at that time we stated to you that
the cost of hi-s would not exceed the cost of your present li pht ing at that, intersect ion,
which is in the sum of $72,00. Now we find that there are no candle power lights manufactured
of the Tupe "C" Mazda between 100 and 290 C.P. The 2-100 C.P. Incandescent lights hardly
mak® a. sufficient amount of li:?*iting the 2-250 C.P. Incandescent makes abundance of liga"�ting,
but the 2-100 C.P. Inea.ndescent will cost as we understand about, P52.00, ienere the 2-Z7)0 C.P.
ineandescents will cost, 4.00 per annum.
At the present time, your company Is maintaining an are lig'nt at this point
and the City is m�7. _-r " -_ing the two inc.nndescents.
We would like to have this are discontinued and the 2-250 C.P. lights
in its stead,
Will YOU please let us hear from you et the earliest convenience so that
we will be able to get this matter adjusted.
