Honorable Sirs: As one of the largest users of elec- tric power, the feel that there should he a clarificatio^ and understanding as to use of materials heretofore furnished and maintained under the "llemand Charge" clause in present rates. Schedule 6 of• proposed new ordin- ance 39 simply states "Transformers shall be supplied by part}~ fitrnishing elech•ic power." The power company's escttse or rea- son for the demand charge in addition to the legal rate, has been that the dont- pany furnished the power line feeders and transformers, and maintained these as a uecessar}~ part of their potiver pro- ducing egttiptnent. In order to clarif}~ the transtm•mer reference, we suggest it should state in general, subject to legal verbiage: "Transformers and all power line feeders, and construction, between elec- tric company's power plant and cus- tomer's location of transformers, and electric Company's main switch, ace to he supplied and maintained iu satisfac- tory operating condition by electric company free of anv cost to consumer," Very truly yours, 1laizewood Insulation Company, By J.

Determination of Maximum Demand: The maximum demand shall' be de- termined by the greatest number of kilotvatts registered during any thirty (30) minute interval as indicated by an integrating detnaud meter furnished, in- stalled and maintained by tfie person, firm or corporation supplying such el- ectrical energy; provided however, that when the customers' load includes hoists, elevators, welding machines, and /or other apparatus vvltere the use of electricity is intermittent or subject to violent fluctuations to the extent that the indicated or recorded demand for a fifteen (IS) minute interval exceeds the maximum recorded or indicated demand during a thirty (30) minute interval by an amount in excess of fifty per cent (SO%), then the customers' maximum demand shall be determined by using the average of the three (3) highest fifteen (IS minute intervals indicated or recorded during the month. The Maximum Demand for loads of less than twenty-five horsepower (2S H,P.), in lieu of measured demands may be calculated in kilotvatts, by nud- tiplying the total rated connected load in horsepower (or H. P. equivalent) by 60%, Any major fraction of a Kilo- watt of demand so determined shall be considered as one whole I{, bV, of addi- tional demand. Power Factor Correction: The person, firm or corporation Sup- plying electricity reserves the right to determine by test, the average power factor of auv customer's load and if the power factor is found to be below eighty per cent (80%l, lagging, the per- son, firm or corporation may, at its op- tion, it the customer does not correct the power factor, discontinue service to such customer after having given said customer a sixty (60) day written no- tice that the power factor of his electric load is too low. Prompt Payment: Customers' aumtthly bills shall be computed at the net rate and there will be added to the total net bill a sum equal to ten per cent (10%) thereof, which will be collected from customers who fail to pay the net bill within ten (10) da}~s of date of bill.

Re: Claim and Suit of Mrs. Alma Bau- mann vs. City of Dubuque Gentlemen: Prior to my assumption of that office, there was referred to the City Solicitor by the City Couucil the claim of 1lrs. Alma Batmtann filed December 14, 1937, claiming damages in the sum of $7,500.00, ou account of personal in- juries sustained by her in a fall upon the sidewalk on the North side of 'Thir- teenth Street between Iowa Street and the alley next 1Vest of Iowa Street, and between 1~Iain and Iowa Streets on the 1st day of December, 1937, said fall alleged to have been due to the rough, rigid and uneven condition of ice and snow upon the sidewalk and al- leged to have been caused due to the negligence of the City of Dubucjue. Thereafter on or about the 23rd dap of February, 1933, suit was instituted in the Distnct Court of Dubuque Cotur h°, Iowa, by said claimant, Alma Bau- mann against the City of Dubuque, asking damages in the sum of $15,- 000.00 on account of said fall and the alleged negligence of the City. I have completed investigation of this claim and suit and have interviewed a large number of possible witnesses, and, as the result of said investigation, and from the evidence adduced I find that claimant did sustain said injuries at or about the time and place iu ques- tion as alleged in said claim and suit. Investigatio^ made by me also dis- closes that there is some question as to the exact condition of said sidewalk at the time and place in question, and as to the condition of the snow and ice upon the same, and iu vietr of this fact and of the fact that there might possi- ble be sufficient evidence ptroduced in the trial of the case to warrant the pre- sentation of the case to the jury in the queslicn of negligence, I have negoti- ated and elected a settlemcut in so far as the liability of the City of Dubuque is concerned iu the sum of $250.00, in full settlement and compromise of all claims of the said claimant against the City of Dubuque. I would accordingly recommend that upon the execution of a receipt and re- lease in~full settlement of alt claims or causes of action by the said Alma Bau- mann and the dismissal of said suit in Cause No. 337d0 in the District Court of Dubuque County, Iowa, with preju- dice and at the costs of the plaintiff therein, that a warrant be drawn pay- able to and delivered to Walter Koer- ner, Attorney for Mrs. Alma Baumann in full settlemcut of said claim and suit, in the stun oi'$250:00. Respectftdly submitted, AL. J. NELSON, City Solicitor. Couucilmau Van Duelman moored that the recommendation of City So- licitor Nelson be approved and that a warrant in the amount of $250.00 be or- dered drawn in tavor of Walter I{oer- uer, Attorney far Mrs. Alma Baumann iu full settlement of claim and suit, said warrant to be delivered upon the execu- tion and release of all claims m~ causes of action and dismissal of suit in the District Court, with prejudice, and the costs of said suit to be borne by the plaintiff.
