Dear Mayor Anderson: You have asked me to explain from an engineering standpoint whether I think the CITY OF PROVO should have one or two electric systema. I believe I am well qualified to answer this question in view of tbe fact that I made the engineering report for John Nuveen ft Co., the purchasers of the bonds, ao that they could determine whether or not they wished to furnish the money. My fee for this report has been paid by John Nuveen ft Co. end I would have been paid by them whether I approved or disapproved your Citys Municipal Ownership Program. I cite these facte eo that anyone will know that I am in an entirely impartial position in answering your question. I give you full permission! to quote all or any part of - the finished drawing of Provos new Municipal Power plant which is rapidly nearing completion. This plant belongs to the PEOPLE OF PROVO, not to John Nuveen or Henry Ulen, according to City Engineer, E. A. Jacob. It la being erected under contract, with a $750,000 performance bond guaranteeing complete satisfaction before it will be turned over to the City officials. After its erection it will be operated by PROVO CITY, and not by Ulen or Nuveen, points out Mr. Jacob. A Plant manager or superintendent will be engaged by the City Commission, who will be directly responsible to them for its operation. No politics will enter into its management, and Provo will once and for all be free from power politics when this plant is completed, provided the PEOPLE OF PROVO CITY, who own this new plant, refuse to give the Utah Power and Light company another franchise, adds Mr. Jacob..
