CAN BEAT CITY'S RATE
For the purpose of supplying the city with current electric power, the Virginia Railway and Power Company submitted to the Administrative Board yesterday a proposition to furnish electric power to the city cheaper than the city can manufacture it. The board had under consideration the purchase of additional machinery for the City Electric Plant, the cost approximating $35,000. The company advised the board that it could save the city this expense and furnish electric power at a rate cheaper than that at which it is now being furnished. The board considered the offer in private session, and decided to ask the Virginia Railway and Power Company to quote terms.
