WILMETTE PUBLIC FORUM LIGHTING s note: Mr. Dmyer, who is a of the Vil}Qge board, 1ttu subaccompawying, wlaic~ is a copy addressed to the "Citisms of CltT1D C'C'T modification of the contract with District was presented at Board meeting on July 8 as to the new Trustees. no chance for us to obtain inand none was offered. · was to take it blindly or to vote "No." I voted meeting, I have obtained f the Rate C (2) filed with the Commerce Commission by the Servic~ Corporation and applicbelieve, to the situations such as Wilmette. The difference beestimated cost for 150 K. W. from Sanitary District at eight mills per W. plus a fixed charge of $500.00 per and for 150 K. W. from the PubService Corporation from rates given Rate C (2) is $264.52 in favor of Public Service Corporation. The I annual cost for current is, in round $9,600. These facts are apcontrary to statements that a great difference in cost for between Public Service and SaniDistrict. If a study of cost of current is so lluminating, a study of design of a system estimated to cost $327,000 would probably be worth while. When the design was being made, . the Wilmette Chapter of the American Association of Engineers asked that a competent consultant be employed because of the very rapid advance in the art and science of street lighting. A list of names of consulting engineers of high standing was submitted. An engineer, not in the names submitted, was employed, Professor Knight of the University of Illinois, and his report, paid for with Village money, has been suppressed. It has never been available for public inspection and its contents are not known to the new Trustees. We hold no brief for the Public Service Corporation or for the Sanitary District or for municipally-owned plants but we do believe that it is to the interest of Wilmette to employ the highest consulting talent obtainable and to set out the facts lx.iore our citizens in plain talk so they will have the fullest confidence in the decision finally reached. Yours very truly, Politics and padimentart rules be "damned." Give us safety for our children by widening of these streets at once, which is absolutely necessary.
