The following, which explains itself, j
was received at this office bv mail this !
in. nning:
To the Honorable, the President and
Members of the Board of City Trus
tees of the City of Carson City.
Gentlemen: I have been much in
terested in reading in' the newspapers a
set of resolutions, purporting to have
been presented by President Cillson at
a meeting of your honorable board, and
i bv it adopted vestcrdav.
Many things have been said and cir
culated among the citizens of Carson
City regarding the position of this com
pany which are untrue and misleading.
Among these have been persistent
statements that this company has refus
ed to remove the poles from Carson
street: that it has had two years' notice
in which to make such removal; that it
has sought to threaten the people of
Carson City, etc.
Convinced, however, that at least a
majority ot your board and certainly
all of the people of Carson City might
desire to act fairly and without preju
dice, I make you the proposition that
the whole matter in controversy be laid
before the Railroad Commission of
Nevada, acting unofficially, providing
of course, that they will tender their
good offices for the purpose. 1 suggest
the members of the Railroad commis
sion because of their well known knowl
edge of matters relating to electrical
supply conditions, etc., owing to their
duties as Public Service commissioners;
and also because two of its three mem
bers are residents of Carson City.
On behalf of my company I am will
ing in advance to agree Jo abide by any
decision these gentlemen may come t
regarding the time of removal, the con
ditions surrounding the removal of the
pole lines from Carson street to other
streets, or anything else which may be
in controversy, even to the integrity of
the resolutions above mentioned. I also
agree herewith to waive any legal
rights, which this company believes it
has. in favor of any decision these
gentlemen, or any other impartial and
competent body of men. may arrive at.
Should this meet with your approval
it is suggested that you invite them to
act in the capacity outlined, and this
is your authority to assure them m
o nipany acquiesces.
As the time obviously is drawing near
to August lt I must request you to
Consider promptly, inasmuch as it
would be a physical impossibility for us
to remove our property from Carson
street by that date if we started later
than Monday morning next.
Respectfully,
GEO. A. CAMPBELL. Manager.
Reno, July 228, 1917.
