The Water & Light Committee and the Water & Light C ommissionm' made report as follows; Grand Island, NebI' . Mar. 21, 1928 ~ To the Mayor and Council of the City of Grand Island,Nebr. Gentlemen; The City has finished the second stage of the project entered into some tWQ and one half years ag~,the rebuilding and enlarging of its wpter and light plant. The ~eoessity for this undertaking was apparent to every one. The City had simply Out- grown its plant. .... At the beginning of this work there Was a grea.t deal af appre- hension in" the minds of some Citizens with reference to the financing of this project ,whether by a bond issue, whether by direct taxation, or what did the Coancil have in its mind along this line. Assurance was given that the entire work would be ,ta- ken care of without a bond issue,without any taxation,but would be paid for out, of the earnings of the plant. The Cormni ttee is plea.sed to advise that the promise held out has been made good, that every contract entered into in conneotion with this work ' has been completed, that. every dollar oontracted for has been of will be paid for in oash (when final settlement is made)without a bond issue, without any levy of taxes and without even the necessity of having a single warrant redistered.Thisnotwith- standing thefaotthat some '35,000.00 was expended which no one could forsee at the beginning. ~{~ """",""....-- Q,-,",..,,,,,- ~' ", ~-,.,-~ 716 The plant is open for inspection and we cordially invite you to come and give it the once over; in fact we ,earnestly urge the Citizens to take a greater interest in their plant, so that they may know what- they have . You will not be ashamed of your plant. The total cost of this project 80 far, has been around FOUR HUNDRED aND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. It must be admitted that the plant is yet unfinished;remember this is only the second leg of the project, but all the urgent needs have been taken care of ,and the unfinished work can be undertaken leisurely ,and can be easily met out of the earnings. The above $425,000.00 represents by far the major cost of the entire rebuilding program, which is planned to take care of the City's needs for TWENTY YEARS to come. It is not necessary to go, into all the details of the work and we will confine ourselvesfto the statement, that the capacity of the plant has been increasedhwo,three and in some cases fourfold. The most modern and efficient maohinery has been installed with the single aim ,that the most efficient service at least cost could be Obtained. All of this necessarily foroes the admission, that the business is profitable and this brings up the question of rates charged for the services rendered. Along this line there, is a wide difference of opinion. Your committee does not intend to go into the discussion of this question, but does confine itself to this statement; WATER RA_TES: The rates charged to the consumer are as low as any City of our class in the state charges. On rates charged for community purposes Grand Island pays in most cases,less than other cities pay.As an instance where a direct comparison can be made, . we will state that Omaha pays $100.00 per year for each Fire Hydrant as rental, while this City pays its water department $23.00 per year for the same service,and it must be remembered that the City enjoys a monopoly of its water works plant. Light Rates; In this department things are somewhat different. The Central power Co.,a very strong and aggressive oorporation is dividing the lighti~g with our plant.Nevertheless the rates for lighting and power in Grand Island are as low as any City of our class in Nebraska enjoys. The Central Power Company or rather its predecessors were the pioneers in the light game in Gran~ Island. When the City got its plant into operation it naturally adopted the rates then in vogue.i\s time went on and circumstances demanded it,the Oity raised its rates and in turn,when conditions justified. it, twice reduced its rates,once ten per cent and once twenty per cent,making the present rates the lowest it has ever had. These rates have been in effect some five years.It might be added, that in a raise of rates as well a~ in lowering of the rates ,the cent~al Power Co. followed the lead of the City. It is probably not out of place at this time to enlighten the people on the financial side of the Water and Light Plant. The following Bond. issues were floated; For Water Works purposes Nov.1st 1885 May 1st 1886 Jan.lst .1888 For Light & power purposes May 1,1906 This makes a total for Water, Light and Power of The interest paid on these bonds until they were finally redeemed was On the Water Works Bonds $108,500.00 On Light & Power Bonds 21,700.00 Making a total interest payment of #133,>200.00 this there were tax levies at different times $175,000.00 $4:1.3,200.00 r; f $35,000.00 5,000.00 30.000.00 $70.660. $35,000. ~~l05, IjOO. ~~ In addition to totalling .

Gentlemen; We your Special Committee appointed by the Mayor to investigate the different departments of the City ,fina that there is no record kept of the Insurance Policies on the different buil -dings owned by the City.

C. Willie..ms C.Cords Gus.E.Neumann,Special Committee. On motion of Falldorf the report was adopted. The Special Committee made report as follows; To the Hon.Mayor and City Council; Your Special Committee,in charge of the Auditing of the City Engineer and Street Commissioner's Department ,begs to report the following amounts collected by said departments and the amounts which ,in our opinion ,should be remitted to the City. 98 plats for A.B. Young at $5.00 $490.00 Survey~ ~,r Town of Cairo-received by Mr.Craig $135.00 Due to the City of Grand IslandlOO.oo Stolley Park survey-received by Mr.Craig$435.00 Due to the City of Grand Island 160.00 Survey of Blaine Addition . Due to the City of Grand ~sland 100.00 Tojal $850.00 The charge made for the plats made for A.B. Young is based on the amount actually received by Mr.Craig,and not on the regular re-sur -vey fee of $8.00,as it appears that the work done was not an actu -al survey ,and that the amount collected was in fair proportion to the value of the service rendered. The deductions made on the amount received from the Cairo and Stolley Park surveys were to allow Mr.Craig a fair compensation for any work which may have been done on Sundays and Holidays, and we believe that the amount charged to the department is sufficient to adequately compensate the City for any work done on the City'S time and for any City material used. There appearing no reason for making any reduction on the amount collected for the Blaine Addition survey ,we believe the entire amount should be paid over to the City. Respectfully submitted.
