The Board of Public Works of the City of Richmond, Indiana, met in regular session at the office of said Board , Monday, November 18, 1918. at 9 :00 A.M. Messrs. Johnson, Taylor; and Feltz being present, the following proceedings were had, to-wit:- 1/ The minutes of the previous meeting read and were approved. Mr Dillion, Superintendent of the Light Plant , presented the fol- lowing recommendation: The Honorable Mayor and Board of Public Works, Richmond, Indiana. Gentlemen: Referring to the matter of Arc Lights which the Starr Piano Company requested to have placed on their property, and which was referred to the writer for in- vestigation, I wish to make the following recommendation. The Starr Piano Company_ desires to have two Arc Lamps placed on their property and over their private right of •way. One of these lamps is to be placed at the south end of their buildings, about where C Street would come through. The other lamp is to be placed north of their buildings in the lumber yards , up toward the Inter- urban Power House. • I would recommend that these lights be -placed with the understanding that the Starr Piano Company will pay us for the labor of installing, and a rental charge of 860.00 per year, per light. This is the same charge that we make the Railroad Companies in Richmond, for similar service,.? These lamps are only needed about five months out of the year, and are for their benefit solely, not being over any public highway. I would not charge them for the material used, as whenever they wish to dis- continue the lamps the material will revert back to Lne City. For the lamp which will be placed in the lumber -yard we could probably use their poles which are already up, and which carry the wire for a Watch-Manes Alarm System. On the service for the lamp to the south of their factory, 1/ we would probably have to set two or three poles. In this connection I might say that these people already have one Arc Lamp over their private driveway, and I feel that for any further service of this kind the City should be reimbursed. The actual cost of maintenance for one Arc Lamp is $50.00, ,exclusive of inspection and repairs. The charge of 60.00 per year, therefore , would not be at all out of the way. Respectfully submitted , D`super1n enaent Monday, November 18 , 1918. 2,52 Mr. Johnson moved that the above recommendation be approved by the Board, seconded b- Mr. Peltz , so ordered. The Board instructed the City Engineer to repair Inlet on South 8th near South "E" Street , also have the Street Commissioner gather up leaves on South 14th 'between "A"and "B"Streets. The Board instructed the City Engineer to scarify and roll South 9th Street from South A to the South corporation limits. The Board did then adjourn. I/ President/o, the. Board.
