This is the McCormick Co., which proposes to build a plant in Hardscrabble Joseph Williams, who together with mayor W. S. Graham who had made some investigations in relation to electric lights, reported as follows: Mr. Williams stated that he and the mayor visited Kaysville City to inquire about the electric light system. He stated that they found recorder H. J. Sheffield, Jr. and the city council very obliging and that they spent a good deal of time going into details, showing them the cost of the electricity in bulk, what they sell it for. expense of maintainance, etc., Mr. Williams stated that Kaysville City purchased their current from the U. L. and Ry. Co. paying two cents a kilowatt for it in bulk and retailing it at 12 per kilowatt. At this figure they just a little more than come out even. It was stated that Mr. McCormick claimed there was practically no loss between the meter that measures the electricity in bulk and the meter of the consumers, but in Kaysville they figured a 40 per cent line loss. He said Mr. Sheffield did not favor the city signing up for electricity for such a loDg period as McCormick wanted. Mr. Sheffield also favored municipal ownership of the plant. Mr. Williams said that, the mayor and himself had a long talk with Mr. McCormick and his engineer but that they were unable to get any concession from him different from the proposition he made the council except that he consented to readjust the rate charged for the electricity every live years but in no event should the rate ever be more than one and one third times lower than currant prices in Salt Lake.

Mr. Criddle addressed the council on this subject. He said if Morgan city, gets electricity from either up or down the river that Porterville would be to far away too get it from the same source. He thought the city should be considerate of this fact. Pres. Rich of Richville, said that he had expected to see a petition handed in from Richville but for some reason it had failed to be presented. Mr. Rich also talked about the building of the plant in Hardscrabble and the getting of electricity for the lights.

The It was stated that McCormicks engineer had figured oo it costing a flat rate of about 50cts. a drop per month or about $2 per family in Morgan and neigh boring towns. With forty per cent line loss it was calculated that it would make the lights cost close to 90 cents a month i It further stated that by. adding forty per cent line loss that the electricity would have was to 20 cents or the equivalent of per kilowatt 1 cent per hour for a sixteen candle power light. It was stated that the price asked the city by Mr. McCormick was practically double what Kays-villlptys for their electricity. to be sold from 17 e Work was commenced Monday on the new meeting house iii the North Morgan ward.
