rector o' CITY COUNCIL ORDERS LIGHT RATE SURVEY (Continued from Paee One) stalled iu 1929, with 2.000 kilowatt capacity. The last turbine has operate'! continuously since its installation. It has not stopped. During 1D31, there was not a jnomont of suspended service at the light plant During peak hours, this turbiun reaches and at momentary intervals exceeds its rated capacity. Should this turbine suddr-nly go out of service, the combined us-j of three reserve turbines would be insufficient, as the total rapacity of these is only kilmvauts.

and their efficiency at uw operation is uncertain. Plant Addition Required In order to install anoth.fr turbine, it will be necessary i 0 erect a new addition to the light because the north part the three reserve turbines piaco Is not large enough to stallation of a new unit thorr. It also will bo nrrpssaiy 10 another boiler in the boilor room. The estimated com of installation of a new turbine is to $130,000. This does not ths cost of erecting the aridi- tlon, nor of the additional facilities.

Mr. Amos faifl it uouM hr possible Inctnll the tui-liin" yoar. and the boilor vt Economies Spertacular savings In op at the light "plant vine of tlr- now ci t'l Mr iluctiuu hu.it iuaxasid. 00 coel of coal been decreased 20 per cent. In 1927, tbe yUnt produced tu- tal of 4.600,WO kilowitt hours.

coiil bill for that ym was about one and one-tenth cents per kilowatt hour. In 1931, the plant produced kilowatt Its coal bill for 1931 averaging six-tenths of a cent per watt hour. Mr. Ames referred to contention of the Iowa Railway and Light company in the gas rate controversy, that the light plant paid no taxes to the city. With an actual value of $760,000, or a taxable value ot the plant, privately owned would pay 42 mills of taxes, or about $4,725 a year to the city, Mr.

Ames said. The plant last year turned over to tfie city treasury $30,000 in ctsli. and Itt addition gave free service In street lights, lights and power for the water works, municipal buildings and for Mary Greeley hospital, an estimated value of $20,000. Group to Study Salary Adjustment The question of salary adjustment for city employes was thrust before the council when City Manager Ames voluntarily offered to accept a $500 reduction in bis salary. Mr.

Ames said it had becoma necessary to make some adjustments in salaries of some em- ployes, and that he felt be could accomplish this with better grace if he himself led tne move by readjusting his own salary. The council became somewhat, agitated over the proposal, and the concensus of opinion was that such a move should not extend generally thru various city departments. Council MacDonald declared any proposal to revise salaries as nonsense. The city has but four salaries above a year, and a total 10 per cent reduction in all these would not exceed $2,500. a.

saving too small to be considered in view of the loss of good will and the general effect upon business conditions in Ames, he said. Councilman Allan favored the adjustment, however, as In keeping with the general movement of public and private Industry thru- out the country. He termed the subject a matter of business -concern. A motion made by Mr. Pose that the mayor name a special committee to investigate and report of the whole subject wrs passed.

The mayor then named the finance committee at the group to undertake this work. Water Rates To Be Studied Suggestion of a study of Ames water rates made before the council resulted in inclusion of this item in the survey also of electric rates, requested of the city manager on a motion made by Councilman. Pose. City Manager Ames warned the council of any, definite move toward reduction of water rates, due to the operation of the soft water plant He said tbe water softening plant now in operation, would cost far less to operate than had originally been estimated, but that it would not be, advisable, to reduce water rates because, of the added load or the softening plant. Water softening will cost the city approximately $4,500 a year, instead of $10,000 a year as first estimated, Mr.

Ames said. Thus, it will not be necessary to raise water rates to the cost of softening the water, he said. Water rates here are in line with the average for Iowa cities, he explained. While some cities have low rates, others have excessively high rates, and Ames just about strikes the average, he said. Council to Name Election Judges The first formal notice by the council of the coming spring election, when the mayor and all council members will lace reelection, was taken Monday night when the council passed a resolution consolidating the three downtown for registration purposes.

Voters of the first, second and third wards are required by law to register before voting at the election March 28, may register at the city hall with their respec- -ward registrars, on any of the following dates: March 17, 18, 19 and 26, from a. m. until 9 p. m. Voters of the fourth w-ard required to register this spring, may do so at Welch school on the same dates.

The first day for filing petitions with the city clerk for the spring election is Wednesday, while March 12 is the final day. The city clerk read the list of vacancies of judgeships for the election in each ward, and also vacancies of registrars and clerks. Each council member is automatically an election judge iu bis own ward, the councilmen at large serving in the wards in which they live. Council members may, however, name judges to serve in their stead. Various council members requested more time in which to present the names of nominations for judgeships and clerks in their wards.

Club Asked to Study Garbage The Ames Woman's club is to receive a copy of a survey and plan for municipal garbage disposal prepared some time ago by City Manager AIIIPK, with a request to study Die proposal and to filR with the city tho club's reeommenda tions for working out this vexatious problem. Councilman roykendall suggested in council that some formal answer bo made to tho club on its request made more than a yoar HKO for municipal garbage collec (ion arid sypteni. The problem lias been avoided by tho council due chiefly to council's disinclination toward af. Ins to the municipal ono i hat was believed to be so costly tliis. Mr.

Ames told the council Mon- day ulght that his opiuUtu it would coct at leant $5,000 a year for garbage collection aad dUpowl. He added however, that tbli was merely a guess, but that it to be a minimum figure. The manager was requested to five the Woman's club an answer to request it has had on file for 10 loaf. The council was in accord with the suggestion that the whole matter given to the club to study and to present a possible solution, particularly with sonic plan for raising the moaey required for maintenance of a garbage system. So.

Duff Ave. Made Business District The council approved the recommendation of the citr planning corn- mission that the business district zoning cliuftilicAUott extended on South Puff aveuue Lincoln way to South Third tlng the location of filling and other along this maiu tourist thorofore. Councilman Allan said win not quite pleased with the xonlng extension but that the plan had been studied lor tome time by the planning commission, and that if it was the recommendation of the commission, he would accept it. In approving the report, the council instructed the city attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance for presentation at the next council session. The council informally advised.
