AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ( 'F • VOTERS OF DECATUR * • Dear Voter: Tomorrow the voters of Decatur will have the opportunity to sell a worn out light plant and thus exchange a troublesome, debt-ridden problem for over $2,000,000.00 in Cold Cash. In a former election, many people were confused by a last minute letter put out by those opposing the sale of the light plant. This letter contained many half-truths and mis-statements which were later proved untrue and wholly unreliable but not before the damage had been done and the election lost. Those opposing the sale of the light plant will try to do the same thing again. This time, do not be confused—keep the following facts in mind. The decision to sell the light plant was made unanimously by our City Council after much investigation, engineering, surveys, etc. All arguments pro and con were considered before the Council decided that we should sell the light plant. ———-— Arguments favoring the sale of the light plant have become even stronger in recent months. We have seen the failure of the plant and interruptions in service. Our industries are calling for additional power which cannot be supplied. The profit of the light plant for the t last year shrunk to almost nothing. We have seen proof that I & M con attract new industries as new industries have recently located at Berne and Geneva and other neighboring cities served by I & M the latest outstanding example being the huge new Goodrich Plant IMMBI of Fort Wayne. The statement has been made officially that if we do not sell the light plant, the light plant will be shut down and we will buy all our power. Isn't it ridiculous to suggest that we let this equipment set idle and rust away when we can now sell it and get over $2,000,00.00 $$ for it? J The path is now clear. Our city officials will follow the mandate r of this vote. There is rio reason why the sale of the light plant cannot fake place if you and the others believing as you do vote "YES" tomorrow. Do not be mis-led! Do not be over-confidentl let's get out every single vote! This could be one of the most important votes that you will ever cast. Vote ear-ly and vote "YES"—Sell the light plant! ou need additional information or transportation to the polls, I X please phone 3-2143. ;, uaw r“vr«” v " y ,ru ' y k ■ UIL ¥ ICO ASSOCIATION FOR THE BETTERMENT ’ I OF DECATUR.
