LOUIS ERTSEY. Referred to the Director of Public Service. Mr. Wilcox* South Mahoning. Mr. James W. Wilcox and others addressed Counoil on the subject of the South M ailoa*ns: Avenue Improvement, which is pending. The following communication was received from Mayor Barnum: Alliance, Ohio, June 7, 1915* The Honorable City Council, Alliance, Ohio.! Gentlemen: Mayor Barnum's reply to the Light Committee. In reference to the reply of the Light Committee and Finance Committee to my recommendation on the light question, I wish to explain to the Council a few things., When the Light Committee was appointed J told one of them that J had a course lined out and anything T could do to assist T would be glad to do and we talked freely on ithe subject. The night J read my recommendation T read it to this member of the Committee and he said "It is alright"; and J read it. Now after showing my willingness to assist in any way I could and showing them every courtesy I could, then to get the reply I did and being accused of not having ordinary sense, to say I was hurt is putting it mildly. Now J wish to ask this committee a few questions. First - They said it would cost $2,500*00 to have the Light Plant appraised. These are MI*. R o s e s figures, are they not? Second - They said Cincinnati paid $10, to have the Light Plant appraised in their City and all they had left was the experience. This is what Mr. Rose said, is it not? If not, the source of their information was not reliable. The faots are that while Cincinnati paid to have their light plant appraised their exper ience was the lopping off of thirteen (13) million of watered stock of which Cincinnati was paying for at the rate of 6 or 8 per oent, and by so doing gave to the people of Cincinnati a fair rate for light. As to it costing $2, to appraise this plant, J want to say it will not cost l/5 of this amount to appraise this plant and if this amount was appropriated at once, X have good reason to believe that this could be accomplished in six weeks.

3 81 MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1915 (Continued). A number of weeks ago the Light Committee visited Mr. Rose in his offloe,and T would like to know what was on the paper that was tucked in each members' pocket. Very respectfully submitted, W. P. BARNUM, Mayor. On motion, the Communication was accepted and ordered filed. Motion to meat next Wednesday. Barnard moved, seconded by Oathon, that when we adjourn we adjourn to meet next Wednesday evening, which motion was agreed to.
