NORTHERN STATES POWER
Bert Larson of the Markson Company, spokesman for the Chamber of Commerce,
appeared before the Council and suggested the following:
1. Council accept the Northern States Power contract at once so as to
gain the benefits from it for the next billing.
e
All communities but three have accepted the contract and two are
going to at once, leaving Mound as the only one not doing so.
The Council in the past had expressed the desire for Northern
States Power coming into Mound to furnish service.
By being an island of resistance, we cause an increased cost to
Northern States Power for billing.
Trustee Pierce objected to the 20-year length of the contract.
Attorney Bonham outlined the differences between the existing contract

with Interstate Power and the new contract offered by Northern States Power. She
referred to Section 3 of the N .S.P. contraat and Section 5 of our present ordinauce,
the same as Section 3. We also have a section 7 clause covering general liability.
Pierce moved, Lockhart seconded and it was unanimously carried that the
Council instruct Attorney Bonham to contact Northern States Power by letter in
regard to Section 17 of our present contract and Section 2 of bhe proposed
contract in regard to rates. The question was raised: "Why can't we receive
