Respectfully submitted, CHRISTIAN MARTIN, A. P. FERGUSON W. G. SNOW, W. L, TAYLOR, H. G. PREITTYMAN, Street Cominittee. Accepted and reco.minendatlon concurred in. REPORT OF LICHTING COMMITTEE. To the Hooi. Common Couuoil of the City oí Ann Arbor : Th undersigned members of your commltfee on lighting beg leave to submit the following report : We first ask your attention to a tabulated statement of the cost of Street lighting by electricity in twelve citles of Michigan, viz : Big Kapids, Ypsilanti, Adrián, Marshall, Muskegon, Grand Rapids, Flint, Battle Creek, Jackson, Bay City and Ann Arbor. The data foir this statement was establislied by your clerk, from the various municipalities and show some interesting facts. You will notice that the pri.ce per aight of 2,000 C. F. ranges froon $35.70 in Marshall to $190 in Flint for all night and every night in the year, or from $17.85 to $84.48 for anidnight lighting per moonlight sthedule. Ihe averago oost ior niidnight lighting per moonlight schedule in the twelve cities nientioned is $54.10 per light (we pay $81.) or $122.76 for all night and every night. In three of the twelve cities water is the power used, in two water and eteaan, and in seven Bteain. Three of the twelve olties mentioned pay more than we do, eight pay less. In three of the cities the municipallty owne the plant, in nine a private Corporation. Of the twelve ciiies, eight are decidedly oí the opinión that municipal control is the best, but one favors private corporate control and three do not express an opinión. Your committee have taken pains to obtain a conservative estímate of the cost of a 100 light plant of 2,000 C. P. each, and find that euch a plant can be installed foir not to exceed $21,275. This includes the cost of erecting a building, a chimney and in fact a complete plant. The expense oí operating such a plant until -mddnight and every night in the year will not exceed $3,625. Allowing 10 per cent. for interest on the investment and for depreciatioin on same will make an annual expense oí $5,752.50 of $57.52 per light. Ton por cent., - - - $2,127.50 Ruiming expenses, - - 3,625.00 i Total - - - - $5,752.00 This is 011 a 'basis of ueing steam fo'r power. If water power could be bad the cast wouW be much less. Iï the city can install a plant and light its streets for $57.52 per light, a private Corporation ought to be able in connection with commercial lighting to light our streets for $65 per light of 2,000 C. P., running until 12:30 amd on the raoonlight schedule, and net 25 per cent. in the operation. Your committee ateo have a proposition froiin the Ann Arbor Gas Co., i o light our streets. (See bid.) Their bid is $5,698 the first year, $4,792 the second year, and $4,092 the third j'ear, w an average oí $4,861 as against $7,047 wh'ieh we are now paying, and it is an open question wlifther the streets would not be as wi'll lighted as by the present system. In view of the fact that the depreciación in clectrical macliinery during the. pnst two years has been large, and that the next two or three years will probably see a corresponding depreciatioe, we deeni it unwise at present the city to erect its own plant. Your committee therefore make the follüwinfi rocoinmendations : lst. That we tender to the A. A. T. H. Electric Light Co. a contract for one year irom January 1, 1894, for 87 are lamps of 2,000 C. 1J. each, to be lighted from sun down until 12:30 a. m., sun lime, at $73 per light, moonlight schedule, thus meetinp; them half way in the matter. 2d. That m case the sald company are unwiïling to enter into sucli contract withiu ten days, that the eouncil then proceed to make a contract wtfch the Ann Arbor Gas Co. íor one year fram April 1, 1894, at the price stated in their bid horcwith submitted.
