not less than 100000. II we are still
able to maintain the ratio Of forty per-
cent for operating expenses, and there
is no reason why this cannot be done,
the plants 1917 net earnings should
be, as minimum, 100000.
After the $4,000 bond issue is re-
tired in August of next year it will be
possible to divert all earnings from
that time on to June or July of the
following year into a special sinking
fund, created for the purpose of retir-
ing the original building bond issue
of $139,000, which does not mature un-
til 1927. So by June. 1918, there
would be an amount in this sinking
fund sufficient, at three per cent COM
pound interest for the ensuing nine
years, to equal the face value of the
building bonds when they mature in
1927. This being the case it will be
unnecessary to place any plant earn
ings in the sinking fund after June or
July, 1918. Then having provided for
all the plants bonded Indebtedness,
the city can take advantage of that
law which permits the placing annual
ly into the city's general fund. out of
the plants earnings, sum equivalent
to six per cent of the plants valua-
tion. With it's share of the plants
annual earnings the city will then
have an adequate income, plus its tax
revenues. and many needed p~rma-
nent public improvements can be pro-
vided for without the necessity of re-
sorting to temporary loans or bond is
sues.

ministration to consid any electric
rate reductions until the $4,000 bond
issue has been retired and the neces-
sary sinking fund created. This will
not be hardship to Richmond people.
who now enjoy the lowest electric
rates in the state.
Late this summer an additional
turbine will be installed at the munic-
ipal plant at a cost of $4,000, but
this can be paid for out of the salvage
from unused property of the L., H. Il
