J. Eberhart and J: A. Bulger, who are incor: porating same inte a business organization camposed of local business men. i The object in securing this franchise is to con- struct a Central Heating System to provide ample heat and hot water to the various buildings in the adjacent to the down-town business section. This system will be a public utility, the installa- tion of and econstruction ‘to- ‘be governed by the existing ordinanees. of ‘the City and the rates to be charged to the consumers will be regulated: by the CITY COUNEIL. NOT AN EXPERIMENT A Central Heating System is not a hew experiment but is being suceessfully operated in Fairbanks and in Nome, Alaska, and in practically every eity threughout the United States. The construction and the operation of the plant will give much needed employment to our loeal men. TO GRADUALLY EXPAND The system will gradually expand to a larger area and will take’ in many of our homes and will make Juneau a safer and better city. It will mean a new payrofl‘ and an added source of revenue, in taxes, to our city treasary. LOCAL OWNERSHIP We purpose financing by local' capital which w11] yield goed dividends to the loealk investors. The ‘various' business’ men have prormeed their patronage: and: co-operation and ‘are heamly in favor of the proposed system. Phe existing fire hazards in the doawn-wwn das» trict-will be almest entirely eliminated. - " ' The existing water system' will in no way be depleted. The FRANCHISE has been so drafted by the City Couneil; that the rights of the citizens have been fully -proteeted. - By lawnching such an enterprise we dre acting in a pubhc-spn'ln& way andr hupmg in step withe progress. # ’ "FHE €RANTING OF THIS FRANCHISE WILL BURDEN NO ONE AND WILL BE A DECIDED .
