The City Attorney, pursuant to request of the Board in regular meeting
September 12th, presented an ordinance prepared for the purpose of calling an election
on October 22, 1938, in accordance with a petition filed by a Committee of Petitioners,
requesting that such an election be called for the purpose of submitting to the
electors the question of whether or not the City should construct a competing electric
light and power plant under PaJ.A loan and grant.
The City Clerk certified to the above fact that a letter from the Chairman
and Secretary of the Carrimittee of Petitioners in the above r.entioned matter and ad-
dressed to the City Council of ,ichita Falls was filed in the Clerk's office at 3:30
P. T... September 19iJ6 1938, as follows:
TO THE CITY C OUNC IL OF 1! ICT IT.-. F'.LLS:
The 1.orks iidministration by its communication just received has refused to
extend the deadline of October lst and to consider applications voted on after that
time. As you well know, under the charter provisions it will now be impossible to
call an election to allow the citizens of �'r'ichita Falls to vote on the Light Plant
within the time; and the funds we might have had will be allotted to others and we
will contribute our taxes to pay for it. As an election would now be a useless
expense we see no reason for calling it.
In this connection, this committee points out that a referendum petition
under our charter was filed liay 23, 1938, and no definite action was taken on it until
Au:-7ust 29th when you refused to call the election. This delay to respond to the man-
date of the electors has deprived them of the opportunity to vote on whether they
should have a municipal light plant .
Filed 9-19-38 - 3:30 F.M. Respectfully,
COIL ITTEE IN CMT�RGE 07 THE ELECTRIC
Geo. T. Fenderson, lycting City Clerk LIGHT 1ITTID PMEP PETITION.

Proved by i lderman Naylor that in vieve of the fact that the Council has
no official advice in the cotter set out in the letter of the Committee of
Petitioners presented to the Council September 19th and in view of the fact that
sufficient time remains to call. such an election, that consideration of these
matters be deferred until September 26th, the next regular meeting of the Board
of Aldermen.
