December 311,19 31. Honorable Mayor and City'Council, Rochester, Minnesota. Gentlemen: After several months of negotiation with the Minnesota Northern Natural Gas Company, we have finally closed a contract with that Company forthe purchase of natural gas for distribution in* Rochester. Our negotiations have been somewhat protracted in an effort to secure the best rates and terms possible for Rochester, and in order to serve our customers with natural gas with the greatest security. Our contract with the natural gas company provides for a supply of natural gas to the citizens of Rochester for a period of ten (10) years, thus guaranteeing firm gas at no increase in rates during the ten (10� year period. We have been aware of the restlessness of the citizens of Rochester with respect to apparent delayed action on our part, but this delay has been unavoidable; nevertheless, we now stand ready to supply natural gas for Rochester and to discontinue the use of manufactured gas, except as a standby in case of shutdown of the natural gas supply. All that is now needed to supply natural gas through our distribution system is the construction of a short length of gas main from the so-called"gate" to the gas company's plant in your city. The necessary work to complete this connection would require only a few days, and as we are advised that natural as will be available in January, it is our dedire'to give our customers this higher heat fuel at a ensiderable saving to them. We now come before you in an informal manner to discuss this situation and,to ask your cooperation in supplying the citizens in this community with a commodity which they desires !` The distribution of natural gas in Rochester is largely experimental and will entail considerable loss to us for a number of years. At present we are supplying manufactured gas at no profit to us, and it is an assured fact that unless the Ilse of natural gas is materially increased, the distribution thereof will be decidedly losing venture. This is because the heating value of natural gas per unit is far greater than that of manufactured gas, and the normal use will be materially decreased below that now consumed by our customers. Consequently, the only hope of financial success is the distribution of�:-nstural gas in Rochester will lie with the increased sales due to house heating, which can only be developed by aggressive business sales methods and tremendous efforto is The citizens of Rochester are naturally interested in the rates to be charged for natural gas. We have given this matter of rates oon- siderable stud and have sought the advice of as engineers y �, g g experienced in the I; distribution and sale of natural gas, and have Igeen quided by their recommends -Lions. We recommend the following schedule of:Irrates to apply for residence and commercial use: For the first 3 Therms per month - $1.00 For the next 17 " " " - 18,4 per Therm. For the next 20 " " " - 14/ For the next ' 80 " " " - l?� .For the next 40 " " " - 7 For all over 100 The above schedule of rates will save thousands of dollars for our present customers and will make gas available for house heating at a low average rate easily competitive with other fuels. Rates for dump gas for industrial customers will vary from 2� to 6/ per Therm, depending upon the average monthly consumption of each customer. We have submitted the physical valuation of our properties and a statement of our operating revenue and expenses in Rochester for the past few years to Burns & McDonald, Engineers appointed by the city, and the city should now be in a position to judge the equity and fairness of the j g q y proposed !I rates. �i I rr .5G6 R We will be glad to meet with the city's engineers or a committee, or anyone else designated by the council to explain or discuss any details connected with the sale of natural gas in Rochester. While our distribution system now has ample capacity for the present use of natural, gas, it must be understood that with a material increased use for househeating and industrial purposes a considerable additional investment will be necessary. The Interstate Power Company stands ready to make the necessary investment to bring this new fuel to the door of each of our customers at a price that will compete with any other fuels used for househeating purposes. We recognize the fact that it frill require several years to develop a substantial heating load, but we believe that if it can be done in other communities it can be done in Rochester, and again we are willing to risk the large development expense that will be requiredo We respectfully request that the council grant us the right to distribute gas under our present franchise and to permit to install the necessary pipes and mains to connect our gas plant and system with the so-called natural gas ."gate" so that construction work may be completed at an early date and natural gas made available for the citizens of Rochester4 Geo.

C. Swanson City Clerk City C1 erk $ Dear Sir: December 189 1931. Attached you will find copy of Council action of December 11, 1931, relative to the question of employment of local industries, and outside labor and the letting. of local contracts to purely local concerns. Very truly yours, R CHAS. C. SWANSON City CleErkk " "Pram the Special Committee on Public Welfare - Your Committee to whom was referred the question of the employment by local industries of outside labor and the letting of local contracts to purely local concerns have given the same careful consideration and beg leave to report and recommend as follows; Investigation discloses that many local concerns do employ persons who are not residents of the City of Minneapolis at the time of employment. In some cities of the state a practice has been established of letting contracts to'enly local concerns* your committee does not believe that this practice would redound to the credit of Minneapolis. Minneapolis industries sell their goods throughout tl a state and over the entire northwest; Minneapolis Sp_At.r%9t.ing firms secure contracts in other places in the state and over tke northwest; local labor is also employed in various parts of the state eld northwest; Minneapolis indus- try and Minneapolis contractors and Minneapolis labor secure a sub- stantial portion of their incame from outside of the city. We therefore believe that the City Council should not erect any such barriers against outside contractors, goods or labor and should attempt to promote a friendly feeling between the city and the adjoining and durrounding territories for the greater freedom of trade and better labor relations. ' We therefore recommend that the City Clerk be directed to forward a copy -of this Committee report when adopted by the City Council o -+he- governing --bandies of -all-cities of -the first, second, third and - fourth classes in the State of Minnesota, and that the newspapers of Minneapolis be requested to give this report publicity andothat a copy of this report be &1so forwarded to the local offices of the.Associated Pr, United Press and International News Service, with request that the same be used.
