This communication is a request for permission to turn over
these books to the Historical Society.
Respectfully,

you alr'3aay know th-9 Mayor and Council authorized the purchase of a
new 5,000 KW Turbo-G-3n<:,:JL'dtor ana 60,000 Lb. per hour Steam G'3nerator
in 1938. This WqS install'3d awl put in servic e late in 1939. This
equipment was purchas 3d to nl'eet conai tions of ordinary growth but
because of present war conuitions we now find ourselves approaching
full load capacity of the plant.
During the ye(:.r 1939 we pl'oa.uced 11,542,000 K.W.H. The
production for this year, 1944, will lr$'acb_23,OOO,000 K.W..H.. indica
ting a 100% incr'3ase in a snort perioo. of rive years.
.
I
'j;; {:;:'
Th~ total wat~r pump~d do'3s not show this amount of increas~,
however, it has increas~d approximately 30% over th3 sam~ period of
time9 During the past five years we have made 530 new water connec.;;,.
tions to the system, .most or which were made the pas1. thre~ years.
The same conditions also exist at the Ice Plant, by com-
parison, in 1939 we produced 5,858 tons of' ice, This Y3::1r, 1944,
we 'will i-roduc e 7,700 tons, and incr eas e of 1,842 tons, or 24%. Th e
present Ice Plant machin~ry and freezing tank was built in 1920,
having a capacity for producing 25 tons of ic~ daily. During the
past year we hav~ b~~n prodLicing 30 tons daily vvi th the Sallie machin 3ry,
which now is 24 years old.. At times Qurinb Un past two years, \-ve
hav~ found it necessary to ration ice.
Because of these conditions, I believe it is time for us to
make plans for the future. Keeping in mind post war conditions and
the possibilities for obtaining delivery of equipment inunediately
after the war by placing orders in line to take our turn in its
delivery when that time arrives.
This work will require the services of an eI1gin9~ring firm
and since the Black and Veatch Company has done v~ry satisfactory
work for us in the past and ar'3 acquainted with our plant and opera-
ting conditions, I hav9 sUbg~st;;d to th~m that tHey submit a proposi-
tion cov:lI'ing a study and report of our r'3quir~ill:::nts of probable
future demands. This porposi tion, I am attaching h'31'eto for your
consid~r'a tion.
