Glasgow, Mont, June 8, 1915.
ITO the Honorable,
The Mayor and Council,
Glasgow, Montana.
Gentlemen:
The matter of obtaining power
from the Montana Power Co. is be-
ing investigated and is now before
the Head Office in Butte, from which
Office it will require several days to
complete survey and cost data.
In reference to an additional Gen.
Grating Unit at the Light Plant will
state that the Oil Engine, especially
of the Diesel Patent will give much
better results than Steam. With this
unit installed, the plant can be op-
Grated with the same out put of cur
rent as for the last IL months at a
saving of 100000 per month for fuel
and with one less nan at the plant
at a saving of $4,000 per month or a
; total net profit over and above last
year, based on same consumption of
approximately $4,000 per month, or
$4,800.00 for a year, and it has been
ascertained that by bonding for ap-
proximately $20,00Q.00 this install@
alton could be made and that the
, rates for light could be lowered from
the present maximum rate of II cents
to ii cents and the minimum of 9
cents to z cents and a power rate
could be made of 6 cents maximum tt
4 cents minimum. Under these rates
the plant could pay interest on al
t bonds also to at least take up $4,000
i in bonds each year at the presen
consumption of current and as tn
e Load increases with the growth of tn
City and the lowering of rates, tn
n rates of current could be either agai1
IS lowered or bonds expired in create
? amounts.
The present light plant has a tota
capacity of 1870 XIV. and it is con
! sidered advisable at this time to plac
a 225 HIP. Engine with a 100 XIV
Generator and to install a so HI
:, Motor and pump, so as to be able t
pump water by electricity, thus Civ
:. ing greater efficiency to the Oil En-
: CINE and more economy to both tn
light and water plants.
at The approximate estimate of tn
cost of the additional unit for tn
r. Light Plant is as follows:
f. Generator SET, lHcluulIlS,
switchboard, EXETER, gen.
