penses for salaries Of employees for six
months of said year were too high by at
least $500, and at least an additional
$500 was unnecessarily expended for
high priced coal, when cheaper coal, or
slack, would have served the same pur'
pose. I am further Of the opinion that
unless the consumption Of current by
private citizens, increases materially,
that the city will have to levy a tax to
make up the deficit in the event the city
buys the current from Mr. Quisley at
the price proposed. have signed the
foregoing report because I am in favor
of the city and our citizens having the
benefit Of the Quigley power plant. pro-
vided it can be had with safety to the
finances Of the city. If current offered
by Mr.. Quigley can be used and disposed
of in sufficient quantities to meet actual
expenses, then, I think it will be a good
thing, as We would then have the oppor-
to get more current at a lower
figure for such enterprises as might want

disposed Of, your committee estimates
that the depreciation upon the trans-
mission lines Of the city would not ex.
coed $500 per annum. There should
therefore be added to the net running
expense aforesaid, $500, for depreciation,
making a total Of f4,376.l4. This divid.
ed by 1858 days gives us, in round figures
. cost of Sl2 per day. Allowing this
amount for depreciation, the estimated
200 kilowat hours per day produced by
the plant during the past year has cost 6
cents per kilowat hour. Your commit.
tee further report that they find that the
total income of the city light plant for
said year. ending April /, 1906, as shown
by the books, is s., 793.74; that said sun
includes ell collections collected for wir.
ing houses and for material supplied to
citizens for said purpose. A tabulated
statement Of said income by months is
hereto attached and marked Exhibit
"D.") Your committee further find
that the outstanding floating indebted.
ness of the city on account Of the E.lec-
trio Light plant is s., sos. 10, which in
cludes two notes for $1,000 each negoti-
ated after the first issue of bonds. OF
this SUM, $6G0.75 is for coal and oil and
material used for running expenses dur
ing year aforesaid and also includes the
Rankin claim for repairs; and Seo4. Al of
said outstanding Indebtedness is for ma.
terial used in construction and items OF
a similar character. Your committee is
therefore Of the opinion all things con.
sidered, that it is to the interest of the
city to abolish its present expensive
method of producing electric current,
sell the machinery now being used for
that purpose, pay the proceeds OH our
Indebtedness, and accept the offer made
by Mr.. Quigley, and your committee so
recommend to this meeting of citizens
AMI to the city council, provided always
that such contract be entered into for
such time and upon such terms, limita-
tons and conditions as will properly
safeguard the interests OF the city and
her citizens.

have deducted from aforesaid total ex
penditures of f4,732.9 5, leaving a bal.
ance Of &3,e76.l4, which last sum is the
actual running expenses Of the Versailles
Electric Light Plant for the aforesaid
year ending April l, 1906. Dividing
this sum by 366 the number of days in a
year. the quotient is $40 90. the actual
cost per day to the city for producing
current without making any allowance
for depreciation. At the request Of your
committee, Mr.. Lumpee kept a record of
the current produced by the said plant
for N week beginning May 4, lsO6,
which statement is marked exhibit "C')
hereto attached and made a part of this
report. Said report shows the number
of kilowats produced each day, the trans.
former loss and the actual power on.
su,ned. The average net power con.
su'ned as given by Mr.. Lumpee is log. eS
kilowat hours per day for said week.
During this time current was being sup
piled both to the street lights and TO the
in%candescent lights Of the city. Owing
to longer nights and shorter days in the
winter time, Mr.. Lumpee was of the
opinion that these figures should be in
creased by at least one-third thereof as a
basis OF which to figure for the entire
year. Your committee are Of the opinion
that it should be increased even more
than that, and have therefore estimated
that the daily consumption Of current
for the entire year covered by this esti-
mate should be 200 kilowats per day.
But we are Of the opinion That the amount
of current consumed was under rather
than over this figure. Your committee
upon an average 200 kilowat hours per
day at a cost of ten dollars and ninety
cents per day, which is equal to S go
cents per kiluwat hour.
The proposition of Mr.. Ouigley is as
follows: That he will enter into a con.
tract with the city for a term of years to
Municipal Light ard Power Plant in
quantity and at prices following 900
kilowat hours per day at 4 cents per
kilowat hour, with the option of taking
300 kilowat hours per day more at 3
per kilowat hour, and whatever
additional current the city may need in
excess of the 600 kilowat hours at the
of 2 cents per kilowat hour. Said
to lie delivered on the wires of
the city inside the city limits.
At this price 800 kilowat hours Of cur
rent will cost the city 81. per day. The
city would need one man only at the
