Plov. 18th, 1918. To the iron. Mayor 6- Council, City of Salina, Kansas. Gentlemen: !i petition presented on November 4th, 19.18, signed by some 17 property ov^rners for the extension of livlits on Crawford, Phillips Charles and other streets, the Committee begs to report that the petition is legal, provided the signers, 17 in number are eligible to sign for the extension of lights. in that territory, and we would recommend that The aalina Light, Po,�er & Gas Company extend the lights as petitioned for, providing that it conforms with the condi- tions prescribed in the franchise. Of' course, it is understood that the signature of anyone de- siring to consume lights is not binding until such tirlie as the mouse is -:sired and re-_dy for current. We find, by measurement, that the total distance which The Salina Light, Power & Gas Company must cover in order to reach all of the petitioners is 2856 feet, and it is therefore necessary that there should be 17 consumers. The Uouncil has no authority outside of that which is grant- ed in the franchise, and it would take 17 actual consumers before we can force any extension of such lights. �Ue would, recommend however, that this extension be ordered by the Mayor and Council. Respectfully submitted, .P. i,- Brown, Fred ". Reeder F. U._meters_ Street & Alley Committee. On motion the report of the committee was adopted. City Engineer, P. G.
