Mr. H.S. Price, Alderman Third Ward, Fayetteville, Arkansas. Dear Sir; At your request I have examined a draft of -the proposed Contract between the City of Fayetteville and the Southwest Power Company for lighting the public streets and alleys of the City for a period of ten years. The terms of the contract are very clearly expressed, and in i I y opinion the interests of the City are well guarded, and the conditions.of the contract jseem th be fair to both parties. I can find nothing in the substance nor in the wording of the contract that can be Oonstrued to the disadvantage of the City. Yours very tally, R.J.Wilson.
