Mr. Sam Davidson, Commissioner, City.
Dear Sir:-
We understand that your the City has granted the Fort Worth Sprinkling Company exclusive rights to sprinkle the streets of the City. We are enclosing letter which we received from them which explains itself.
We consider this price of $40.00 per month which they have asked of us, entirely out of proportion from what is charged in other places. From what we are being charged in Fort Worth, $10.00 per monoth would be an ample price for this sprinkling and we would gladly pay that.
I am sure you must have some regulations about this and I would appreciate it if you would give this your attention.
Yours very truly,
CITIZENS RAILWAY & LIGHT COMPANY [A. J. Vincent?] General Manager

We have the exclusive contract for sprinkling the streets in this city. You have four miles of trackage in our sprinkling district. We are unable to give proper satisfaction to our patrons, and comply with our contract with the city, by reason of the fact that your tracks are not being sprinkled, and the dust arising from your passing cars is annoying our subscribers. We would be glad to enter into a contract with you to properly sprinkle your part of the public streets, used by you. Our charge for same would be Forty Dollars per month. Please give this your immediate attention as the sprinkling is now on us, and our patrons are suffering.
