ton. 1t was a pleasure-a delight.
and, yet, with il all there walked
with it. hand and hand. one thing
that robbed it of the full enjoyment
one should feel over the success at
tanned and the benefits gained for
the city. That one thing was the re-
gret that the same united support is
not given to all things undertaken for
the benefit Of the city. What couldn't
klamath Falls accomplish II We all
worked to one end? Is it not possible
for us to change the order of things
and bring some life into the develop

we all join hands for one common
purpose-the up-building of klamath
Falls? Cannot the Elks, the Moose,
the Odd Fellows, the Masons. the
Eastern Star, the Rebeckahs join in
such a movement? Not, perhaps, rs
separate organizations, but thru them
stir their members up to point
where they will cooperate in Com
mercial Club that will have the pow
er and strength to do things.
1t has been a source of bitter dis
appointment to many men in the city
to see the lack of cooperation evil
dent on every hand. Everyone seems
SO bent on grabbing for the almighty
dollar now that he does not take
time TO glance into the future AMI
prepare for meeting the emergencies
that are just now appearing on the
horizon. Men who formerly were ac-
tive in progressive moves have fallen
to the rear, for they tired OF being
left to do the work alone. II the bus
mess men OF the city were worthy of
the name. they would not today be so
indifferent to existing conditions.
They are asleep at the switch, and
later they are going to pay a heavy
price for their Indifference, unless
they wake up now and do that which .

Let us complete the organization

it live organization, backed by sur
ficient money to make it a real po1-

every city served by the N. S. p. Co.
which had a municipal plant in oper-

pany's service is still maintaining the
municipal plant in readiness to run
on short notice. Why?
For two First: AS an
emergency ource of supply of cleo
trical energy in case of interruption
of the Company's service. Second
Because, by maintaining the local
plant, and retaining a certain amount
of independence they feel that they
secure better rates.
One of the cities visited is prepar'
ing to resume operation of the munic-
ipal plant at the expiration of the
Company's contract.
And these cities are maintaining

SOMETHING ABOUT THE MPoR-
TANT SITUATION.
BOND ELECTION TUESDAY
COMPREHENSIVE EXPLANATION
OF MADIsoN's GREATEST
CIVIC PROBLEM.

Much has been said recently about
the ad~yisability of issuing bonds and
constructing the needed additions to
the local electric light plant.
The principal discussion seems to
be upon the o of production of
current.
The city has recently run a test,
covering 28 days. during which quite
close and accurate records were kept
al to the amount of fuel ard lubri-
eating oil used and the amount OF
electrical energy produced.
These records were transmitted te
Prof. Ryan Of the University Of Min.
nesota, who has reported to the city
- to the cost OF producing current
ii the present plant. This report
should be considered as being fair
impartial and unbiased in every way
% far as the analysis Of the figure.

few things contained therein which
might well be explained more in dc.
tail.
First, he has figured fuel oil al
7c per gallon. which the oil used dur.
ing this test period cost SIC: and
4 II purchased today at considerably
1ooo than Sc. Fuel oil is becoming
cheaper every day.
Second: He states ii his report
that the labor 1T the plant costs SIC

intendent. This item Of Sic per day
is ALL of the labor regularly en-
ployed at the plant. Not n cent is
charged to the waterworks. although
Ii is freely admitted that the city
must maintain some help at the plant
continuously, to attend to the pump
ing, even though they purchase cur
rent from the outside. Therefore,
the electric light plant is charged
with a labor cost that is not in any
way whatever chargeable to it, thus
making the cost of producing current
that much more expensive. while that
same item would not be saved II we
purchased current outside.
In fact, Prof. Ryan. when stating
the proposition as it would appear to
him when purchasing current from
the N. s. p. Co., charges the water
plant with half Of one mans time
at 1920 per year" This may be
we'll enough as a matter Of theoret'
ical figuring" but the fact will bs
fully appreciated that it is impos'
sible and impracticable to hire one
man for half time" Then, IL 1t /:
necessary to hire men to run tht
pumping plant when purchasing cur
rent from outside, it is just as fail
and proper that a share of the pres
ent salary account at the plan
should be charged now against tn,
pumping plant. as the men are Their,
for that purpose, do the work, pul
in their time attending to thes,
duties the same as they would wer,
there nc electric light plant there.
Depreciation
Charging a depreciation expense
of $1,000 per year. he finds that tn,
cost of producing current is only 8,
one-hundredths OF a cent per kilo
watt hour higher than when pur
chasing from the N. s. p. Co.
II these figures and costs, condi
lions and circumstances had beer
fairly stated. his cost for city pro
duction would have been almost ex
actly the same as the cost when pur
chasing from the N. s. p. Co. AnG

$500

iOlut . . . . = . . = . PusuVV
A difference of $1,000.
This saving could be accomplished
by cutting out all of the street lights
during this peak period. And this
would be a fine proposition, would 1t
not, to cut out all of the street lights
for an hour or two on that busy Sat
urday evening before Christmas.
This hour or two would then cost
us $1,000 If buying from the N. 8.
P. Co., while the same load could
be carried by the local plant for these
two hours for perhaps $25.
The only way this $4,000 could be
saved and still run the street lights
would be to start up our own plant
and carry a part of this peak load.
Vain Hope
But we are governed by a contract
with the N. s. P. Co. and they say
No" We are not permitted to OPP
crate our own plant for this or any
other purpose. Quoting from their
contract:
THE city agrees that, from the
time the Company is prepared to fur
nish said service, 1t will. during the
period covered by this contract, re-
ceive and take ALL electrical energy
required, used or needed by the city
for the purposes aforesaid, and will
make payment in accordance with the
terms of this contract for all such
electrical energy furnished by the
Company"
/ have emphasized the ALL" In
the above quotation to show that nc
current for any purpose may be OBJ
tanned from any other source than the
N. s. p. Co.
The purposes aforesaid" included
in the above quotation, and FOR which
said current is to be used OF need
ed" are elsewhere stated in the con
tract as being "for municipal light
ing and power purposes. including
the pumping of the city water, ant
for furnishing current for light, hea
and power to the patrons of the cit!
located within the limits of said CITY
of Madison"
Therefore the city Is prevented
from operating it's W plant for thu
purpose of cutting down the annua
peak load, nor would they be per
mitted to operate the plant temper
arily in case of accident to the trans
, mission line, unless they paid tn
N. S. p. Co. Sc per Kilowatt hour TO
all current furnished by the city
, own plant and with its W machin
; cry, and at a cost to the company 0
probably IL to 1Ac per Kilowat
hour.
Liability
Another provision in the contrac
, which appears innocent enough. bu
/. which bids fair to involve the cit,
in a considerable amount of respon
/ sibility is that 1.-THE city agrees that
