Ames City Considers Sale of Electric Light Plant
The Ames City Council moved to authorize selling the electric light plant to Edward G. Pratt and granting a 25 year franchise. The ordinance outlines payment terms, rates for lights and power, street wiring rules, and city rights to regulate charges. A special election is set for July 12, 1909, to decide the measure.
