WHAT is PROFIT2

The Advertiser wishes that more of
the citizens had attended the meeting
called by Mr.. Dial yesterday to hear
him explain the contract of the Reedy
River power company. If they had,
they could at least say that they had
heard both sides in this discussion
and would have felt competent to
vote intelligently Or at least they
could feel that they had given the
spokesman of council the opportunity
of justifying its extravaganza. Wheth-
er or not Mr.. Dial convinced those
present that the council was wise In
expending $4,000 in waterworks and
electric light extension, can only be
decided by the election which is to
come on the 18th If the voters, after
the discussion yesterday are in favor
OF the rapid extension of the water
and electric light system, we have no
objection to make. That Is an affair
OF theirs.
Boiled down to a nut shell, the OBJ
ject of the meeting. If we judge cor
rectly, was to Justify the expenditure
of $4,000 on water and light extension.
Again boiling down, the justification
is claimed through the fact that dur
ing 1912 the city received $14,506 in
revenue from the system and only paid

tions, locating missing relatives, lost
articles and stolen property.

for power $S,643.11, this showing q
profit, according to figures submitted,
of $5,853.37 or course, anyone will
see that this Is no more profit than II
merchant would claim everything
profit between the cost and selling
price of his goods. No expense ac-
count Is taken into consideration at
all. The salary account, alone. is
approximately $4,000 per year, uccord-
ing to one of the councilmen. What
the depreciation on the machinery
and plant Is, Of course cannot be ac-
curately put down, but q five per cent
deduction for thi, is conservative.
Five per cent of SOL ,s7S SO, the value
of the plant in 1911, is $3,37S.94 These
two expenses added together make
$6,17S.94, something more than the es-
timated profit. Where the money is to
come from to put in the sinking fund,
is question open for discussion.
Either the depreciation account or the
sinking fund account must be set
aside to be paid out from other sourc-
es. Going little further, in
case the peak is raised to another min
imum, as it must be, going at the
present rate, an additional charge of
$4,000 must be placed against this
profit account, which, however will be
some larger If the peak is raised.
What other expenses there are con-
nected with it, we do not know.
So the claim is that since the CITY is
making profit of nearly $4,000 per
year on water and lights, that this is
justification for expending $4,000 in
extending the water and light system
But, since it lis seen that there is no
profit, but a loss and that this loss
will be larger If the electric light
lines are extended, then it seems that
there Is no justification at all.
AS to the contract, how Il was form
ed, what 1t is or who Is getting the
long end of the bargain has not been
brought up by The Advertiser and we
feel 1t needs no discussion at this time.
The Advertiser has never made any
complaint on the contract, though we
can show that it is not as good a con-
tract, from the city's standpoint, as
one other nearby city has. But, as
The Advertiser mas not advocated
breaking the contract, we do not feel
like discussion Of it will do any good.

CHORAL SOCIETY.
Program Announced For First Enter
tainment February 14th.

Since the announcement, in the last
issue of The Advertiser, that the
choral society of the high school
would give its initial concert on Feb
ruary 14th, much interest has been
aroused in the concert Many have
asked regarding the program to be
rendered. The Advertiser is glad at
this time to publish it.
The program Is worth careful con-
sideration. Note carefully how varied
1t is. The program Is as follows:-
Part One.
1. My Neighbours Dog Belknap
O. In Old Madrid Trotere
g. Lost Chord Sullivan
a. Anchored Watson
|. The Largo Handel

(h0 So]diarc, rbo,u,
After reading this program, one is
convinced that it consists of music
that is really good and yet not beyond
the appreciation of the average per-
son. Although this is true, it is of
grade that will please even the cul-
tured musician,
The people o. Laurens should give
the choral society hearty financial sup
port, for the proceeds will be applied
TO phase Of the school life that need
development. In addition to this the
financial support will aid in the de-
velopment of the art that is most
nearly divine of all. 1t Is hoped many
will give this new organization hearty
support.
The price Of tickets will be: adults
fifty cents, students and children
twenty-five cents. The concert will
be given in the school auditorium, at

and carry it to the empty bowl with

that If a piece gets mixed with the

Each child 10 handed a puzzle, and
