 Gentlemen:
 This being the last meeting at which l shall preside over the board, it seems eminent1y proper that I should make statement 90 that you may know my req sons for the position I have taken re- garding some matters concerning which we have not been of the same opinion.
 As you know, this board has passed through trying conditions during the past few years. We have suits at law pend Ing that total nearly s5o.o00 damages. Court fees during the year amounted to s4,S00. The com.nittt'e appointed to de- ternnine the value of wood taken from our watersheds estimate1 it s1e,00o. The loss to the city by reason of denuding the watersheds of forest growth is more than s25, ,0O0, and 1t cannot be replaced for forty years.

2 2ooo oco TONS OF COAL
 SAVED BY POWER PLANTS

Reduced to a basis of equivalent coal consumption. some 100000 tons of coal were saved during 1921 by public utility power plants. These had an electrical output in 1920 of some 4i.o00. .00o. 900 kilowatz hours. an in- crease Of practically IS per cent oFer the record for 1919. This great gain represents increased output of fuel consuming plants as the total hydro electric output for the two years was Virtually the same
 The consumption of coal, fuel oil and Eas increased 6, 1S.4 and 1S.6 per cent respectively. but the, outstanding accomplishment was that the average efficiency in fuel consumption in 1920 showed a hetterment Of more than 3 per cent over that for 1918. This sure lr is au euviable record for the cen tr1l stations whez 1t is remembered that their consumption of fuel per unit of power output is only a fraction of that of the average consumption by Isolated plants.
