o Honorable I"ayor and City Council

C=en tleme n:
"e ,,our committee aunoi nted to work out ixTay s and mean s
of securing a --unicinal lip,ht T'l.ant for ,Vicrita 7alls, Texas, de-
sire to submit the follov: irp report:
Yoilr committee has made diligent study and had various
meetings tryinp- to determine the proper course to nur.sue in secur-
ing a raunicz7,al light plant for '."iTichi.ta "ails. After a thorough
discussion of all possible Mans and means of financing such a ^ro-
ject, we arrived at the plan of constructing a i.unicinal Plant with
the aid of funds. The conclusion of such a project is obvious
as the _'ederal Government is willinry to assist the states and.
cities in such undertakings, givin-a 30 •,7. of the cost of the labor
and materials free to the city , and loan the balance at the cheap
F rate of interest of 4%.
In view of such coonerat ion and assistance of the ;Federal
Government and the hearty sunnort and help of President -Franklin D.
Poosevelt , who now urges cities to avail themselves of such onnor-
tunities, we your committee, rem,. mend that we proceed to secure
such P"'A funds with which to construct a municipal plant for icri.ta
Falls, Texas, and that this action be taken immediately.
.Jtness the hands of the committee hereto , this Jan. 21,
1935.
