.SPL|ND|D RECORD
BY CITY PLANTS
LIGHT, WATER SYSTEMS
Made remarkably Fine Showing Dur
ing Past Two Years, According
to Report Submitted

That Supt f. V. Leyerett and the
retiring committee on light and water,
W H. Gist, J. l. McClurkin and W. w.
Westmoreland, are entitled to the
highest praise for the efficiency with
which they have managed the munici-
pal light and water systems for the
past two years is shown in the report
for the biennial period submitted to
the city council at last nights meet
eng.
When the facts are taken into
consideration that the cost of fuel,
material and equipment of every kind
and Of labor have doubled and more
than doubled since two years ago, and
that the rates for electric current and
water at Conway have not been raised
and are now probably the lowest Of
any city this size in the state, the
showing of the municipal plants Is
truly remarkable.
According to the report, the gross
income of the two plants for the q
months was $73.44248, of which
$58, 1903 was for electricity and
$14 .691.75 was for water.
The cash assets for the two plants
have been increased since April, 1918,
by $7,73287, and now amount to 49,
99315, in the following funds. On
deposit, open account$4,634.95; on de-
post at per cent interest, $2,254.98;
city warrants (for loan to city general
fund), 81 ,040; liberty bonds, $1,063.22.
These assets are being reserved to
apply on the purchase of neW and
more powerful machinery at the cleo
trio light plant, which is imperatiyely
needed
In addition to the increase in cash
assets, permanent improvements have
been installed at a cost during the two
years Of $4,000. These included {
new CRATE and blower system, install
ed for greater fuel economy, new
pump, valves, etc. a new forge outfit
and tools, coal bin extensions, indi-
eating Instruments, transformers
wire, meters, etc, for new line extern
sions.
Another direct source of profit II
| the city are the street lighting sys
tenn, fire hydrant service and watal
for sewer flush tanks, all of which are
furnished without charge to the city

These items, together with $697.50
paid by the light plant toward the
maintenance of the fire department.
are estimated by Superintendent Lev
erett to be worth $20,86512 for the
two years.
The street lighting system consists
of 80 white way" columns, each car
rying four lamps, total of 1928; 10
10O-watt street lamps, 60 60-watt
street lamps and 80 60-candlepower
series street lamps, a grand total Of
400 street lamps. The estimated value
of current for the street lighting sys-
tenn for two years, according to a fair
rate charged under private ownership,
the report states, is $9,729, and the
cost Of maintenance of the street
lighting system for the same period
has been $1,049.62.
The number of sewer flush tanks
operated by the city is "a, and the
amount of water consumed by the
flush tanks in two years is 17,500O00
gallons, the estimated cost of which
under private ownership would be
$1,40O.
The number of fire hydrants in ser
vice is exactly 100. The usual charge
under private ownership is $50 per
hydrant per year Estimated at $40
per year, the report declares the value
Of the fire hydrant service for the two
years at $4,000.
All told, according to the report, the
two plants have earned. in the form
of cash assets. permanent improve
ments and light and water service
that would otherwise have to be paid
for by the city total Of about $37,-
600 in the two years, over and above
operating expenses. 1t should be
stated, however, that it would be i'm
possible under private ownership for
the city to enjoy such street lighting,
fire protection and flush tank service
as it does, as the estimated cost of
these items is more than the entire
present revenue of the city from
taxes, fines, licenses, etc.

It will be noted that the price per

average cost of coal to the plant has
also almost exactly doubled. But the
current produce dby the plant has in
creased probably 800 per cent, and
this increased output, by reason of
economical and efficient management
is therefore being delivered upon APP

Doctor Wheeler's interest In the
problem of the blind, starting some
years ago. became intensified when the
war brought their numbers. both here

total. In going through the various
departments of the company's electric
al manufacturing plant Mt Ampere, N.

the fact that girls skilled in winding
wire coils performed their work with
out watching the movements of their
hands, as a touch typlst or piano
player ignores her fingers. The coll
winding girls chatted and laughed
among themselves as they worked, and
their work was satisfactory. Doctor
Wheeler then blindfolded himself and
attempted to wind coil. He proved
to his own satisfaction that here was
work which, with little practice, the
