The electors of Juneau are asked to vote tomorrow upon ordinance granting a new franchise to Richard F. Lewis, operating under the name Juneau Water Company. The provisions contained in this new franchise were published The Empire early in June. Copies of the ordinance have been posted for the past six weeks at the Federal an Building, City Hall and Territorial Building in u(‘cm'd»' ance with the law and in order to give the voters full notice of its contents. Mr. Lewis, operating as the Juneau Water Com- pany, has been furnishing the City and the people of Juneau with water for many years. The water is good; 100% pure according to the frequent tests that have | stems has been well managed, | been made. The water and there has been practically no complaint of the service for more than ten years. The new franchise is requested because the term of the old one has expired. The new ordinance, passed unanimously by the City Council on June 7, extends the franchise for another period of twenty years, but it contains some new proyi$ions which are greatly to the ad- vantage of the City and its inhabitants. provision for the payment of $100 a month to the City, and an option to purchase the system has been obtained by the Council at less than the Black and | Veatch appraisal. As disclosed by the Black and Veatch report re- cently made at the expense of the City, the investment in the plant and system has been large, much larger than is generally known. To ‘operate the system efficiently and keep up with the increasing demands for service, requires constant new capital investment.
