1.A letter from the Estes Park Chamber of Commerce and signed by the President,
Lou Canaiy,officially urging the Town Board of Trustees to consider and
encourage the adoption of an industrial rate,was read to the Committee.
The letter pointed out that the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce
in talking with potential industrial users of electric power,found that it
was difficult to be precise.
Following a discussion of the problems and time required to conduct a survey
of this kind,the committee requested that Sweetland and Bailey study rates
now in use in other communities and submit a proposal for consideration by
the committee.It was further discussed by the committee that a proposed
rate for industrial use should in no manner conflict with rates now in effect.
2.Sweetland presented to the committee,2 bids for a truck to replace truck
No.15.Bids were received from two agents,as follows:
Estes Park Garage -Dodge Truck -½Ton pickup $1995.00
