Brainerd Public Works Plan Aims to Modernize City Plant
C N Parker returns from the east with an option on Jaquith & Browns water power and proposes to buy the city electric light plant to form Brainerd Public Works Company. The plan includes a 500000 capital stock, 500000 bonds, upgrades to the dam and power house, street railway and telephone systems, and favorable light rates with city ownership retained until bonds mature. A special council meeting is set to decide on disposing of the plant amid talks of a vote and immediate improvements before winter.
