Your committee believe it is to the
Interest Of the town of Donaldson
vile that the sum of $4,000 be an
nually appropriated for the expense
of its light and water service, the
said sum to be placed to the credit
of the municipal light and water
plant. On this basis, the cost OF
light and water, even though the
town appropriated the sum of $500
for the same, would be $435O less
than required under the private own
ership system.
Summing up their conclusions,
your committee are unanimous IN
reporting to your honorable body
that under the present system the
deficit is $1,000. while under the
system advocated by US, there would
be an annual saving to the town OF
NEARLY $4,000. Instead of an annual
increase of the towns debt OF 81 Il
900, plus accumulating interest,
the present system is allowed to con-
tinue, the plants annual deficit OF
/ that sum will cease and the town
will then be in a position to llquldate
gradually its own Indebtedness from
i it's own revenues.
| Your committee feel that this ap,
preparation Of $4,000 can easily be
Imet by the town, though they deem
