Honorable Mayor and City Council of Dubuque, Iowa: Gentlemen: We acknowledge re- ceipt of official notice of the resolu- tion passed by your honorable body on Friday last, requesting that our street lighting proposal be so modi- fied as to include rates for a one, two, three and five year periods. To be asked to submit a lighting contract proposal for such short terms as one, two and three years is most unusual, if not unprecedented, as logically the annual charge per lamp should cover depreciation charges in a one, two and three year period, respectively, which in a ten year period contract would be spread over the entire ten years. The an- nual charge for a short period should, therefore, be greatly in- creased. With conviction, however, that even with a short term contract your honorable body will continue to con- tract with us to perform the street lighting in question, inasmuch as any intelligent investigation would show beyond of a doubt, that it would be to the financial ad- vantage of the city to so continue, we hereby submit the same figures on a short term contract as already submitted on a ten year contract, in- cluding and protecting coal clause. You will note, however, a modifi- cation of the original proposition in regard to the installation of addi- tional units and the modification of existing units. We assume that your desire for a short term contract is to permit con - zlideration of municipal operation. With such a possibility In view you could not reasonably expect, nor could we economically consent to in- crease our investment in poles,, wires, lamp units, etc., which would not be assured of permanence through contract. Very respectfully, DUBUQUE ELECTRIC COMPANY. By H. B. MAYNARD, Vice President. THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into this day of , 1919, by and between the Dubuque Electric Company, herein- after called the, first party, and the City of Dubuque, hereinafter called the second Party.

For each type "C" gas filled Mazda lamp of 250 C. P. rating, the sum of Forty -five ($45.00) Dollars per year. For each type "C" gas filled Mazda lamp of 100 C. P. rating, the sum of Twenty -seven Dollars and Fifty Cents ($27.60) per year. For each type "C" gas filled Mazda lamp of 60 C. P. rating, the sum of Fifty -five ($56.00) per year. It is understood and agreed that the above schedule of rates is based on a present price of Four ($4.00) Dollars per ton for coal the equal of Harrisburg (Southern Illinois) one and one - quarter inch (1 /, ") screenings, averaging 12,500 B. T. U.. per ,pound. It is further understood and agreed that for every twenty -five (25) cent increase or reduction in the above coal price, F. O. B. at the first party's Central Station, there shall be an increase or reduction in the annual charge per lamp as fol- lows: On each 600 C. P. lamp, $2.00 per year. On each 400 C. P. lamp, $1.50 per year. On each 260 C. P. lamp, $1.00 per year. On each 1000 G. P. Boulevard lamp, $2.00 per year.
