Geo.Kinder, Mayor Des Plaines, y-11inois Dear Sir; During the past year, a great number of public Cfficials have become more and more interested in various ways and means of solving the fin- ancial problems of their municipalities and rendering a service to the citizens of their communities. Vie have a plan that will aid materially in solving t1sproblem and at the same time secure a substantial reduction in the electric light and power rates for the residents of your city or village. Just a short time ago we made a survey of a small Illinois town of about 25CC population with only a half dozen stores and no industries whatsoever, with a view of deterrning what revenue or profit could be derived by the Village under our plan. The annual profit resulting to the Village as a result of our survey amounts to approximately 15,OCC.CC per year plus a substantial reduction in rates to the consumers of the village. It is not necessary under our plan to finance and build a generating plant nor does it increase your taxes or bonded indebtedness. If the Franchise of the Public Utility now serving your Village has expired or is about to expire, it will be to your advantage to secure full details of our plan without any obligation on your part. Yours very truly, SET ,R IFRVICE CCRPCRATICN By. F.I'i.Douglas President The motion was made by .Alderman Frederick and seconded by Huxmann to refer the letter to the Finance Tommittee for study.
