Would Cut Water And Electric Cost
Ten Per Cent Nth NetU MACHINERY
Secretary Dorminey of Commits.
sion Says Plant Needs $4,000
Improvements
Two Boilers and One Engine
Have Been in Use More
Than Twenty Years .

An investment by the city of $685.
OOO in new boilers and engines for the
Fitzgerald Water Light and Power
Plant would reduce production cost
at the plant by ten per cent and effect
an annual saving to the consumers OF
the city Of about $1,000, it was stated
today by ]. D. Dorminey, secretary of
the Water, Light and Bond Commits
sion in an interview with Leader
Enterprise reporter.
Two boilers and one engine at the
plant have been in use since it was
first built in 1893 and although the
good care they have received have
enabled them to remain in use seven
years longer than the average life of
such machinery, they are of obsolete
type and are more expensive to oper-
ate than is modern machinery.
Mr.. Dorminey said that he was pos
tive that saving of ten per cent
could be effected at the plant with new
modern machinery. The total cost of
operation for 1920 was little more
than $4,000. New machinery to put
the plant in perfect condition would
cost $4,000. The savings would pay
for the machinery in five years and
during the next ten years of the nor
NAL life of the machinery the cost to
the consumer could be reduced ten per
cent
In spite of the old style of the ma
chinery at the local plant, water and
electricity is being furnished to the
| people of Fitzgerald at much less cost
than in most neighboring cities. The
highest light rate in Fitzgerald is Is
cents per kilowat hour, with ten per
cent discount for prompt payment
which makes the top rate actually 49,
cents per kilowat hour. This rate is
graduated to give large consumers o.
electricity rate of about nine cents
Cordele charges 10 cents, regardless o.
quantity, and Triton II cents, regard
less of quantity.
Fitzgerald's rate for commercial
power, for use through motors, runs
from rs Cents a kilowat hour to cts
Fitzgerald's water rate runs from 81
cents to Is cents thousand gallons
depending on quantity, while Tiftol
has flat rate of IS cents.
If $4,000 worth of new machinery
including battery of three boilers Il
burn coal instead of wood, and on,
300 horsepower engine, were installed
in 1921, the cost would be paid off GU
of the saving effected by 1926. accord
| ing to Mr.. Dorminey, and after 1922
| consumers would get light, power ant
water, ten per cent cheaper than a
present.
