attorney, gave talk on city affairs, the
municipal plants and taxes. The city
owns and operates more municipal
utilities than amy other city or town
in the state. The receipts for the year
from the electric light plant amounted
TO $la,95i, and from the heating plant
S5.Tll. Il total of $21 .G66. The expenses
of the two which are operated togcth-
er. We're $l5.60N. showing a profit of
$6.066 The telephone plant showed u
protit of $3.50 and the waterworks an
excess of about ST., 900 expenses over the
recsipts. The apparent loss on the lat
ter is partially compensated by the
use OF water in fire protection and
street sprimkiing. AS soon as the ma
joritv of the dwelling houses are mod
crnized the waterworlss will show n
net profit to the city. There is no
bonded Indebtedness on the electric
light ard telephone plants, for these
have paid for themselves in the last
few years. The city owns approXim-

ties The telephone rates are 81 and
$3.50 respectively. and light 10 and $
cents per 1000. The profits are being
applied on the bonded Indebtedness, SO
that, barring accidents the city will
own it's plants in a few years and the
revenues can be used for the purpose
of reducing the tax levy. On the whole
