The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-05-13

Yesterday afternoon at the Athletic
Park the ]. A. c. defeated the Stars,
IL to 2, and the Hawaiis took the
Portuguese Athletics into camp, 6
20 /.
Barney Joy pitched for the Stars in
the first inning after two runs had
been scored.
He did well, although the record
has eight hits chalked up against
him. That is, he did well considering
the length of time that has elapsed
since he last ornamented the mound.
He struck out nine men.
The Stars were unable to hit Me-
deiros, who only allowed four hits,
and who disposed of six men via the
s. o. route.
williams started out to pitch for
the Stars, but was removed as soon
as it became evident that the luck OF
the day was decidedly of an unpro-
pitious nature for him.
The Stars accumulated seven errors
Of which Prosser was responsible for
four.
The ]. A. c. held a lead of to 2
when they went to bat in the ninth.
They evidently intended making a
good job of it while they were about
it, for in their final essay they
notched six runs, most extravagant
performance. for those needless runs
will undoubtedly come in mighty
handy before the season is half over
These six runs we're scores by almost
every known method.
Hawalis VS.. Portuguese.
The Hawaiis won, and they did moi
play up to their top form at that.
Pitcher Williams for the Hawaiis
was in fine fix, allowing but three
hits. Another feature of the game
was the clever pegging of Raphael
who nipped six Portuguese pilferers
He ought, on the strength of yester
days performance, be made specia
cop; he can catch anything on TIVE
legs and some things that go on four
The Portuguese saved themselve
from probable shut-out, by annexini
a single in the seventh. La Mer,
singled and went to second on balk
De Ponte's drive to short placed l.
Mere on third. Third Baseman Meye
fell down on Filters drive and Il
Mere tailed.
The Hawaiis rolled home three il
their initial inning. A couple NOR
were added to the bag in the fifth.
In the sixth Raphael singled an
stole second, being caught at thir
on McIntyre's fielder's choice.
En- Sue strolled, stole second ba
and scored on a single by Dav
Desha.

Comparison of Morris Rate and
Madison, Wis. Rates

The rates in Madison, Wis. were
fixed by the Railroad Commission about
year and half ago and readjusted
about six months ago. These rates
are designed to distribute the cost
among the consumers on the basis of
their installation and consumption.
The first rate had Primary charge"
of '15c per K. w. Hrs. "a Secondary"
charge of 91c per K. w. H. and a
charge for all in excess of &c. The
new rates which went into effect the
first of July are: Primary 13c,
secondary &c and Excess SC. Minimum
bill ST.. 90 per mo. net.
These figures are of little value by
themselves as the divisions depend
upon the installations. / have how
ever compared the monthly bills which
| have paid with those of Morris for
the same consumption of current after
including meter rental and discount
in order to reduce the comparison tc

ton, if authorized, will be more
sweeping and thorough than that now
in progress by the special committee
of which Representative Graham of
Illinois is chairman.

to distract public attention from al

and his associates.
The proposed inquiry is authorized
in a resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Stephens of Nebraska.

current with the two wire distribution
system, requires an unusual expense
for copper in overhead lines, particu-
larly as in this installation the voltage
drop is less than per cent, This
system can not be said to be of the
most modern tpye. but it must be
borne in mind that change to the
three wire distribution system of
direct current or to an alternating
current system using ITO volts lamps
in accordance with modern practice
would require change of all the in
candescent lamps in the city to meet
the requirements of the lower voltage.
Such a system would no doubt be in
stalled if new private or municipal
plant were erected.
The power plant and distribution
sytsem equipment has been, main
tanned in fairly good condition but
additions and alterations will soon be
necessary if reliable service is to be
assured and the increasing load of the
Agricultural School properly met.

charged for this current at least the
cost per average K. w. H. the an
nual operating expense for the current
from steam plant would be $4O74. 90
and from the gas engine plant $3163.-
90. This added to the fixed charges
will bring the estimates Of total an
nual expense to $5265. 90 and $4492
for the two plans considered.
Conclusions
AS the present operating expense
OF the city pumping approximates
$500. 90 per year, it is quite evident
that it would be unwise to consider
the plan of operating this station by
electrical power from proposed muni-
cipal plant.
The estimated costs per average
K. w. Fl. of current generated in a
proposed municipal plant of either
steam or gas engine driven units pre-
cludes the possibility of furnishing
current for street lighting at cheap
er rate than that now in force.
The estimated unit costs of gener-
ating current also indicate that it will
be impossible for municipal plant to
sell to private consumers current at
rates lower than that now in force
II these rates are to bring to the
municipality revenues sufficient to
cover all operating, depreciation and
other expenses properly chargeable
to the proposed municipal plant.
Recommendation
am informed that the franchise of
the Morris Electric Light Co. has ex-
pired and that they are now asking
to have this extended. In view of
the growing tendency toward state
control and regulation of public util-
tiles of this kind l would not advise
the extension of this franchise for
any considerable length of time.
The city can through its represent
ative petition and urge the Minnesota
legislature to enact "Public Utilities
Law" similar to that in force in
Wisconsin. which if passed will afford
simple solution of the problem before
the Council.
An Arbitrator or Referee may be
employed who is familiar with the
technical features of the problem, to
work out solution of the problem
that will be just for both parties, re-
cognlzing on the one hand that an in
crease of rates would force the city to
construct municipal plant and on the
other hand that any concession of
rates should secure some protection
to the Lighting Co. against COMPETE
tion in order to Justify it in making
the necessary investments in addition
al equipment. Such protection could
be afforded by franchise of reason
able life containing provisions safe
guarding both parties. In view of
the situation in your city I would re-
specially recommend this action as
one for their consideration.
Yours very truly.

Cost of Pumping City Water by
Electric Power

If the city pumping should be oper-
ated by electric power it would be
necessary to run line to the plant
and install motor of about 35 K.
w. capacity. This installation would
approximate $500. 90 complete and
with fixed charges" at Is per cent
or 1925. 90 it's cost can be estimated
in the following manner:
The peak of the pumping plant will
represent about % per cent of the
capacity Ut the proposed municipal
electric plant and it should be charged
then with % per cent of it's fixed
charges or 1866. 90 for the steam and
$1104 for the gas engine plant.
The pumping plant will consume
approximately 100, 900 X. w. Il. of
current per yr. This will bring the
output of the proposed municipal plant
of 800, 900 K. w. H. annually. The
increased output will increase the
coal cost only bringing this so per
cent greater than the estimates above
and as the pumping plant should be

will bring the total annual operating
expenses of the steam plant to
$10260. 90 and of the gas engine
plant to $844O.OO.
To the operating charges should be
added fixed charges" to cover in
terest depreciation and insurance. The
depreciation of the gas plant will be
higher than that of the steam plant
and with this in mind the fixed
charges" of the steam plant are
estimated at IA per cent of the in.
vestment or $4,000. 90 and for the
gas plant Is per cent of the invest
ment or $4,000. 90 annually.
Adding the operating and fixed
charge gives a total annual charge
for producing current in steam
plant of $14. AGO. 90 and for the gas
plant $13. $4,000.
With an annual generation of
200, 900 K. w. H. the cost per
K. w. H. generated will aver
age $.O723 for the steam plant
and 5. O662 for the gas plant. The
average loss in current between the
switchboard and consumer will ap.
proximate 20 per cent bringing the
cost to S. 0868 and $.O794 respective.

Character of Load of Morris
Electric Light Co.

Mr.. Baker, Superintendent of the
Morris Electric Light Co. has made a
number of daily % hr. tests of the
plant. He very kindly placed this
material at my disposal and l selected
the data of June %, 1911 as typical
of light load and Jan. "a, 1912 as
typical of a heavy load. The peak
hourly load for the first date was 65
K. w. and for the second date 80 K.
W. with individual or momentarv
peaks of over 120 K. w. The ratio
of the average to the peak hourly load
for the first date was u per cent and
for the second date 43 per cent indi.
eating a very satisfactory load and
one conducive to good economy in
operation.
On the first date mentioned 1913 K.
W. H. of current were generated and
on the second date 637 K. w. H.
From these results and from the coal
consumption i have estimated the
yearly output of the plant at ap
proximately 2OO,OO X. w. H. The
load of the motor at Mr.. Stewart
place of business has very beneficial
effect in keeping up the day load and
reducing operating costs.

Comments on Same

The above rates can not be criticized
or readjustment suggested without
a detailed study of the consumption
and demand requirements of each
class of consumers. 1t may be stated
however that in general the rates are
not excessive when compared with
rates in other cities in Minnesota and
Wisconsin of a similar size. Some
readjustment however should be made
if the schedule is to be placed on an
equitable basis. For example with
the above schedule, a consumer using
ID K. w. Hrs. per month would pay
$1.89 while consumer using 16 K.
w. Hrs. per month would pay SIS
without including a meter rent.

The above estimates would indicate
little if any difference between a

In the operating estimates that fol-
low the approximate figure of $780,
900. 90 will be used as representing
the cost of municipal plant COM
plete. 1t will be noted that this re-
presents 5000. 90 per K. W. of capa-
city, a very safe figure when it is
considered that the average cost of SO
electric plants in Wisconsin is $194. 81
per K. w. of capacity.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1912-03-08
Cost of Producing Current

In plant of this size the principal
differen .e in operating costs between
a steam and gas plant is the cost
of fuel. In the case of the steam
plant consumption Of lbs. of coal
per K. W. H. with coal at SIS. 60 per
ton delivered will amount to 5000. 90
per yr.
With suction gas producer plant
and hard pea coal as a fuel the cost
at 3 lbs. of coal per K. w. H. and
coal at ST. 90 per Ton will be $21OO
per yr.
These estimates of coal consumption
