THE Value OF RECORD
ING INSTRUMENTS.

The value of recording instruments
in such plant as the city electric
light plant has long been appreciated
by the commissioners, but it is a ques-
ton whether they were quite prepar-
ed for just what the kilowattmeters
are showing. On last "Wednesday
morning the reading indicated that
the plant had turned out Is, 1870 XIV;
Or an average Of 81 XIV. per "a hours.
AT that rate, If it may be taken -as a
basis, the end of this month should
show = reading considerable, above
20. 600 k.w. delivered TO The lines at the
plant If the amount of current pro-
duced the average price OF Toe pc,
XIV it would mean a revenue of ~,
500 from light service alone. and the
plant would then be on "easy street. !"
1t the plant recording meters are
making such record now, what,
would they have recorded a couple u
months ago, before the fiat and half
rate lights were cut out aud put on
meters? Such record would have
heen interesting now. The waste
which they would have made apparel,
would have been appalling.
The above reading is believed to be
correct. tt instruments are new
and seem tdEbe working accurately.
