The officials had inquired about the City's reading a single meter. The City Manager quoted a "D" rate plus a charge of $620.00 a month for services and rentals, and would not include any changes in the system; that the $620.00 was for the existing system. The government wanted to aircondition the units and change the size of the transformers. He stated the meters were read on January 31st, and the Government took over, according to their letter, on February 1, 1958; but the City still had the problem of the changes to be made in the distribution system. His recommendation was that the City would not be free to sell the system, but that it might be best for the Government to file a condemnation suit and condemn the system within the base.
