Consul Albert Halstead reports
that for the year ended March 81
the Birmingham municipal gas de.
partment has been able to contribute
$347.754 to the reduction of city
taxation, the details of which follow /:
This is an increase of s49.S75 over
last year and is the greatest profit
that this British city has ever made
on its gas undertaking. In addition
the gas department contributed s2O,-
600 direct to the city treasurer and
$4,000 worth of gas in aid of public
lighting within and without the city.
The profit was made after large al.
lowance for depreciation Of plant and
a contribution to the reserve fund OF
almost as much as the profit and with
the plant being kept at the highest
maximum of efficiency. 1t is also OF
interest to note that the last contri.
button to reduce taxation has beer

duction in the price of gas for the
