INVESTIGATION OF
MUNICIPAL LIGHT
PLANTS CONDITION
CONTINUED From Page OneD

the city's only competitor in a sort
of muck -raking crusade, the evident
object of which is to depreciate the val
lie Of the citys property, by sowing
the seeds of distrust in the minds of
the people. and in the midst of this
campaign of education" and misreprc-
sentation, to have an election ordered
on the proposition to SELL and if it
carries. to buy the plant at cost, or as
much less than cost as possible.
AS this whole proposition turns on
the question of selling our city plant
to these people, and as this commit
tee, after careful consideration is unit
ed in the belief that it would be great
mistake to sell the same. we are. there
fore of the unanimous opinion that no
action should be taken by council look
ing to that end.
AS to the insinuation contained in
the proposal that something is being
concealed or covered up about the real
condition of the property, either at
the plant or at the Office-somethiYg
that can only be disclosed by expert
examination by outside parties. hired
for that purpoSe.-thiS committee in
sists that no such condition exists on
either the mechanical or business side
of the city plant. We find no lack of
adequate knowledge by the proper city
officers of its physical and financial
condition.
The plant is under the same non-par-
tisan business management that 1t
was eighteen months ago. when it was
thoroughly overhauled and Investigate
ed by the joint committee of twelve
business men. assisted by experts,
both electrical and financial. That
committee was composed of men OPP
posed as well as those favorable to mu-
nicipal ownership. 1t made a most
! thorough examination into the cost
and needs of the plant. the kind and
condition of the machinery, the man.
2er of keeping the accounts: their ac-
curacy, not only as to footings. but
also as 10 proper division OF disburse-
ments, and the general condition of
the plant as a business investment
| The committee made a unanimous re-
port in which they found that the
plant proper was in good condition
that the books and accounts were cor
rect and in good condition; that the
expenses. including repairs, were prop
| erly charged; that an additional unit
should be purchased and installed: and
that the plant was a good investment
for the city, and should not be sold.
Since that time nothing has occur
red to disturb the public serenity and
satisfaction as to the increasing value
and benefit of the plant to the city

Repertoire at the Gennett.


Just Common Folks" was the bill
offt ed by the Elite Players at the
Gennett Monday night, when they OPP
ened a weeks engagement. The pro-
duction had a trimming of comedy
that afforded much amusement and
the various roles were acceptably car
ried and the production staged and
costumed in keeping. Specialties of a
pleasing nature added to the enter
tainment, Master Robert st. Clair. the
boy baritone. Marie Frech, soubrette,
Harry ST. Clair, Recrem, tramp jug
gler, Billy and Irene McBreen and
others contributing to these. Master
ST. Clair was especially well receive d
and was recalled. He not only sings
we'll, but also does his part in the cast
of several of the plays. Tonight the
company will present "A Romance of
the South" Wednesday afternoon it
will repeat Just Common Folks" and

and to the individual citizens. The
boiler explosion was an incident liable
to happen to any power plant, and aS
this was covered by the $4,000 IF
boiler insurance carried on the plant.
this incident cannot justify any real
public distrust, nor furnish any real
excuse for such a campaign of ed
ucation' as is proposed by those who
have an ak to grind.
Your committee finds from person
al investigation and from reports of
the superintendent and the city con-
troller, that the new equipment, as
recommended, has been successfully
! installed and the old machinery has
been kept in good condition; that the
business of the plant has increased
even faster than was predicted; that
the income has kept pace with the
number of consumers; that the net
profits have increased in a greater ra-
ito than the expenses; that the &C
counts have been thoroughly examined
and audited; and that the property is
proved to be better investment to-
day, than it was when indicated by
the former committee.
The plant made a net profit last
year over expenses. repairs and inter-
est of more than $4,000 1t spent
about $4,000 for building and equip
ment account. including over $500
paid on the new unit. If all this
$4,000 had been added to the expense
account, there would still have re.
manned $4,000 of profit If all this
amount except the $4,000 paid on the
new unit, were added to expenses and
charged off as such. there would have
remained over $15,500 of net profit;
but if the accounts were properly
kept, as they were. there would be,
and was. a net profit as above stated
of $4,000 for the year. From this,
however, should be deducted $4,000
/ for depreciation, leaving $4,000 in
round numbers as the net profit of the
plant-enough to pay IS per cent. of
the street lighting account.
The profits for the past eleven
months of this year over expenses, re-
pairs and interest were s23,52519. OF
this amount s22,931.15 was paid as
the balance of purchase money on the
new unit; and there was paid on the
building and equipment account for
the same period s11.342. 15-showins
an apparent deficit for this period OF
$1O,74S.71, the difference between the
total receipts and the total disburse
ments. This simply means that the
profits of the plant lacked that amount
of paying the balance Of about $4,000
due on the new unit. after all deduc
ton is made for both the expense and
building and equipment accounts.
In conclusion, your committee can
not refrain from expressing their dis
trust of this proposition and the mo-
tives that seem TO have inspired it
Its evident purpose is TO undermine
the popular confidence in the munich
pal light plant by making, if posi-
BILE, through experts satisfactory tC
the petitioners, a prima facie snow
ing of either bad mana cement or un
profitable results. That such a show
ing cannot honestly be made from the
facts, will not deter those whose own
investment is in jeopardy, from max
ing the attempt, if the common coun'
ell will give them moral support and
a certificate of character by joining
with them in such a campaign of mis-
representation. We are unalterably
