Public Hearings and Protests -
Various persons appeared before the Board in relation
to the forming of a lighting district in the Lodi Barnhart
Tract - Messrs Flynn and Lane, representing the Marbelite Cor-
poration spoke for the formation of the district and the adopt-
ion of their standards - Mr J. H. 'Walter and H. H. Cole also
appeared in this behalf. Mr Noah Hovard, on behalf of himself
and J. H. Scott asked that no district be formed. Mr B. E.
Porter spoke in favor of the volunteer system using the Perrin
standard. The clerk read a report of the findings of the Com-
ilittee of the whole in this matter as referred to them on Sept-
ember 21st and Trustee Shattuck, seconded by Trustee Hale,
moved : - That the findings of the Committee of the Whole in
the matter of the formation of a lighting district for the Lodi
Barnhart Tract be adopted as a resolution of the Board and be
spread upon the minutes :-
- RESOLUTION -
The Board of Trustees of the City of Lodi, acting as a
Committee of the Whole relative to the necessity and advisabil-
ity of the forming of a lighting district of a portion of the
Lodi Barnhart Tract in the City of Lodi, submit the following
findings after a careful consiaeration of the date available
and interviews with a number of the property holders in the
proposed district :-
First - The forming of such a district will entail
added cost upon the property owners in said district;
Second - Under the proposed district plan, as submit-
ted at our last meeting, the taxpayer pays better than 50% more
for Marbelite type and receives only 8 standards to the block
instead of 11 standards, as per Perrin type ;
Third - The forming of such a district will necessit-
ate the immediate expenditure of $6,000 or $7,000 and for which
expenditure, no appropriation was made in the budget of 1925-26;
Fourth - The demand for such a bond as an investment
is questionable and the Committee therefore cannot see the advis-
ability or necessity of the forming of such a district, and unan-
imously recommends that the petition be denied.
