rent sold, $1,959.O3. This would make
a reduction for the month of May be-
tween the present rates and those set
forth in the proposed schedule, or
$21258, which would be reduction of
9S per cent, which, under all the facts
and circumstances l believe to be JUS
tifiable."
Fixed Charges.
Mr. Bond then shows what the fixed
charges of the city plant are in the
following schedule:
Cost of operation. .$5O,OOO
Taxes ........... ............ I,1uo
depreciation ......... 1booO
insurance l.ooo
Interest, Bond Indebtedness. $3.50
Sinking Fund, per annum. go. 1920
Total ................. $S9,OSO
Then Mr.. Bond continues: Taking
these fixed charges into consideration
and the operating revenues from the
plant at less than the average monthly
amount shown for the first five
months of this year, still leaves sub
stantial profit to the plant. Besides.
some of these items designated as
fixed charges really belong to capt.
tai account and others can be used for
capital and for making Improvements,
betterments and extensions. In view
of this fact and in view Of the fact
the surplus can be used for this pur-
pose | have reached the conclusion
that the income from the plant justi-
flies a reduction as herein suggested.
! am also of the opinion that this pro-
posed schedule of rates is more equi-
tably and evenly balanced than the
{v, hat 1v,in 1Nn
more equitable and just in it's appli-
cation.
"This plant is the property of the
city Of Richmond and therefore each
individual citizen has a direct and
substantial interest therein, and it is
pleasing to note the loyalty with
which the citizens have become it's
patrons. 1t is now in a better condi-
ton than ever before to render eff
cient service and is able to supply all
the current that is needed for both
light and power purposes within this
city.
Wants Full Patronage.
And when these facts are cOnsid-
cred. together with the additional fact
that all reductions in the price of cur
rent for both light and power which
have been made since this plant was
constructed have arisen by reason of
the plant having initiated such move
ment 1t seems strange that all users
OF current within this city do not
patroniZe the plant which belongs to
them If such were the case, it would
within a comparatively short time en-
able the plant to make further reduc-
lions in the price of current and at the
same time the plant would be able to
maintain it's efficiency. soon extin-
guish all it's indebtedness and contrib
ute substantial sums annually to the
public treasury and thus reduce taxa
ton.
ut is my opinion. however. that the
plant should bear It's just proportion
of services rendered to it, by the city
attorney and other city officials who
have work to do in connection with
its management and operation, and
these facts should be taken into con-
sideration in fixing the next annual
appropriation so that substantial JUS
tice and equity may be done and the
plant will bear it's share of the salar-
les Of all city officers who perform
services for the plant"

IRA THOMAS IS SLATED TO
MANAGE n. Y. AMERICANS
Eastern Visit of Ban johnson Said to
Presage Naming of Maek's Iaeu-
tenant as Leader of Yankees-Far-
rell to Stay in Baseball

New York, Nov, t1,-Ht is expected
that. as result of visit which Presi.
dent Ban Johnson. of the American
League, will make here aud in Philadel.
phia during the next few days. Ira
Thomas, captain of tine Athletics, Con.
ME Mack : first lieutenant. will be
named as manager OF tine Yankees for
next season. At the recent meeting of
the American League in GAieago. the
club owners decided that something
should be done Al once to give the
Yankees high class manager and q
stronger team, ii the American League
hoped to rival the patronage of the Ma
tional League in this city.
1t IS understood that several men
nave been considered for the place. and
that johnson is in favor of Thomas.
on account of his knowledge of Mack 5
methods and mis- wide experience with
world 5 championship teams. Thomas
has been retained by Mack for the last
couple of seasons in the capacity of
coach and adviser, but as the lean lead,
ed also has Harry Davis acting in the
same capacity. 1t is believed that John.
son will engineer rhe deal so that
Thomas can come here as manager.
johnson, who left Chicago SUNDAY
night, has not vet made mis- presence
known in this city, and it is believed
that he will visit Philadelphia before
eoming here. At the offices of the New
York Americans yesterday all knowl-
edge of johnson 5 coming or of his
plans was denied.
Another purpose of Johnsou's : visit
is said TO be the transfer of the stock
ia the Yankees owned by William :.
Deverv. The latter. it is stated, has
tired of baseball, and lost considerable
money on the jersey City club, of the
International League, last season. He
IS said to be willing to sell out his New
York stock at a reasonable figure. but,
from all accounts, it is planned to re.
tain Frank J. Farrell as president of
tae CLUB. At the American League meet.
ing last week Farrell was elected a
member Of the board of directors of the
league, which indicates that ne expects
TO stay in baseball.

30 years 'old, 10 Tompkins avenue,
