Since I had the pleasure" of working for Fairhops 'in previous yea:rs'and have a background of experience within your own area, and in your own city, there is without doubt some advantage to you in utilizing my past experience in the. solution of present problems. Should you and'the City Council desire me to work for you I would Pike to submit to you the following proposed basis for my engineering services to be utilized: 1. Inventory and evaluation work on distribution lines including,mapping of such facilit:.as to be pro - lined fnrafee equal to'3j per cent of the reproduction cost `new of such facilities. 2.
