Service was suspended at o'clock

be necessary to erect n reserve steam

Mr. Boiling, who seems to have all
the figures at his fingers end, then
goes on to show the comparative cost
by electric power.
"Supposing,' he said, that we
bought electric power. the city would
have to make the following outlay on

ing machinery. $4,000; motors and
transformers, estimated at $4,000;
power line $4,000; foundations for
pumps. 100000; pipe line, $4,000. TO
tai cost, with electric power purchased
outside, s155,000. The plant using our
own water-power, now wasting, would
cost as shown above. S17SS9l, the DIFF
ference being s239S1."
In conclusion, Mr.. Boiling said:

this is not done. the construction Of

Under no circumstances can I recon-
mend buying power at any price when

We need at once an Increase in oul
