cost to replace the plant is Si77.O99.15.
Note the loss in the merchandise de-

He was unacquainted with local condi-

Nelson, you figure six per cent on the

A slight difference. indeed. This fea-
ture of the statement simply shows the
woefui deficiency in bookkeeping meth
DDS at the city plant.
What stands out boldly and incontro-
vertible is the accepted report Of the
expert showing a net loss for the plant
the past year of S21,5oO.96.
The city light and water plant is fin
ancial failure. BY the reports OF the
board of public works. which have been
quoted by advocates of municipal own
ership all over this country 1t has been
made to appear that the Fremont NUM-
cipal plant is a gigantic success. NOW
that an expert has completed the laoors
of six months. and his report has been
duly accepted, and hailed with dehgnt
by the Fremont board of public works
Il Is shown to be failure from the
profit viewpoint. Further. the report OF
the expert shows that the plant mas
never made a dollar in its existence, ana
that there is no prospect for 1t so doing
until radical change has been made III
its methods and its management.
On this page is printed the complete
balance sheet of Expert Almert. To those
who have the faintest knowledge of book
| keeping IL will be easily understood. TO
those who do not understand the methods
of bookkeeping the Herald has endeaV-
ored to throw light on the figures by
various references thereto.
The report of Mr.. Almert Is incorpor-
rated in a volume of $50 pages. 1t would
be impossible to set forth all the fea-
lures of the report In this issue of the
Herald, but It will continue from week
to week to further enlighten the public
which is now showing the greatest inter
est in the subject
1t took ten pages of the report for Mr..
Almert to tell the board of public works
things that would be helpful in correctine
the errors heretofore made. Thirteen
pages are given up to classification OF
