INTERSTATE POWER CO. PROPOSITION

The Interstate Power Co. respectful
ly submits the following proposal to
furnish the city OF Lancaster, Grant
county, Wisconsin with electrical en-
ergy for the purpose of pumping the
city water at the Pumping Plant, To-
Gated approximately two and 0ne-half
miles from the city of Lancaster and
said proposal is based on the following
conditions.
1t is estimated that Lancaster water
consumption for fire, drinking and do
nestle purposes is fOrty-eight million
gallons per year or an average of four
million gallons per month.
1t is proposed that the Interstate
Power Company will purchase and in
stall for the city 800 gallon per
minute Single Acting Triplex pump,
preferably of GOuld's Manufacture,
equipped with a Forty horsepower
23O0 volt Slip Ring Motor complete
with starter and protective apparatus.
THAT the above pump, motor and
other equipment will cost S3900.00 or
thereabOut for which the city shall pay
to the company $4,000 per month for a
period of ten years at which time the
pump and pumping equipment shall be
the property of the city.
That TIE city shall operate and pay
for the operation of this equipment
and also pay for the current cOnSum-
ed by it al the rate of .0325 per kilO-
watt hour.
That the guaranteed efficiency of
this pump will be s. percent and the
guaranteed efficiency of the water will
also by s. percent.
That the company further prOpOs-
es to construct a 23OO volt. 3-phase
line to the City's pumping plant at it's
own expense and it is to own and OPP
crate this line.
That the company shall furnish and
install the necessary metering equip
ment to met the current used at the
pumping station and to keep the same
in proper celebration at all times.
That with the above equipment the
cost of pumping water will be as fol-
lows:

That pumping at the rate of the
rate of 300 gallons per minute or 49,
900 gallons per hour, this would give
consumption of 81 kilOWatt divided
by $4,000 or 1.94 XIV. per 1000 gallons
or at cost of $1.94x.O325- .O6295 per
1000 gallons per month, this would
cost $251.SO per month plus carrying
charges on pumping equipment $4,000
or total OF $291.SO per month.
That the cost of pumping by oil
would be as follows:
Total investment, $11,00OOO.
11,OOO at percent $4,000 per year.
$1,000 at 8 percent depreciation,
$4,000 per year.
These figures used as statistics have
proven that the life of the oil plant
is years.
Repairs, percent, 1920. per year.
IOtdI per year, SIJoU.UU per year.
19SO.OO divided by IL equals $4,000
per month.
That the fuel oil and Iubricating oil
cost only will equal in practice .O175
current after adding hauling and
handling charges.
With electric costs, we have 4,OOO,-
900 gallons per month with a con-
sumption of 1850 XVIII. per month.
With Fairbank pump we would
have consumption of 2.22 XVIII. per
1000 gallons. This is due to the Fair
bank pump having only an efficiency
of 20 percent against So percent guar
anteed on a Gould pump. On 4,OOO,-
900 gallons this would make a con-
sumption of $500 XIV per month as
against 1850 with a Gould pump per
month.
$500 at .O175 per XIV equals $154.OO
month. This will make total of
$154.OO plus $4,000 equals $4,000
per month.

Mayor Beck Presents Water Power Data
Hartley, Iowa,
July IT, 1925.

AR. George b. Beck,
Lancaster, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of the 10th has been re-
ferred to me for reply.
We have one rs h. p. and $50 h. p.
Fairbanks Morse type Y engines which
have been in operation little over
two years in our light plant and we
have found them thoroughly reliabel
and very economical.
We use a 36-40 degree distillate as
fuel, which costs us from to 1-2c
a gallon at the plant; adding to this
the fabrication cost, brings our cost
per XVIII on the switchboard to an av-
erage for the year of about one cent.
However in pumping service 1 be-
lieve the record would be still better
because the engines would be working
under uniform load conditions while in
light plant service the load varies,
the engines operating at half and less
than half load great share of the
time.
The service record for the past year
has been exceptional there having
been exceptional there having been on
ly one or two Interruptions and each
of these of less than five minutes dur
alton.
If we can be of any further assist
ance we shall be glad to hear from you
at any time.
Yours truly,

present growth continues.
Our power house is constructed in
such a way that it is very easy to add
to it, and since we have had such ex
cellent results with the Fulton Diesel
engine the municipality will in all
probability increase the size of the
plant, adopting the same equipment.
eff there is anything further that I
can give you in this matter, you are
at liberty to advise me.
Yours very truly,

Mr. George E. Beck,

Dear Sir:
The following short article appeared
on the front page of the Milwaukee
Journal of January Dist, 1924:
"The 10000 residents of South Riv-
er, N. j., a small brick manufacturing
town, have been informed by their
Mayor that the success of the munich
pally owned water and electricity
plants was so great during 1924 that
there will be no local taxes this year,
and probably county and state taxes
in the future will be paid out of the
profits from this growing venture.
During 1924 there was profit OF about
$4,000"
This article so interested me that l.
wrote to Mayor w. o. Allgarn of South
River for more extended information.
Hawking just been through a contro-
yersy which was perhaps as bitter as
could be waged 1 am in position to
appreciate the interest which you have
in the subject of oil engines as

DIR. F. t. GORTON.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1925-07-29

(From Perry (1owa) Tribune, Janu-
airy Is, 1925:
''It will be recalled that about a
year ago the city installed a pumping
system which it secured from the Fair
banks Morse company, by which the
city now manufactures it's own current
and uses it with which to pump the
water.
'The council has found that the
current can be manufactured at cost
of about one-half cent per XIV, which
is but a fraction of what the current
cost when purchased from the light
company.
The council has issued a state
ment based upon the report Of the
plant in which it shows that prior to
the installation of its own generators
the cost of pumping the water was $50
cents per 1000 gallons. The cost for
the past year, under city operation was
one-tenth of a cent per 1000 gallons
of water pumped. The monthly cost
under the former method of operation
averaged $95935 per month. The
present cost is but $199.46 per month.
In addition the city is paying to the
Fairbanks Morse people $681.85 per
month, and at the end of three years
this will pay for the equipment which
is now being really rented from the
Fairbanks-Morse company. In other
words, the cost of operation, plus the
cost of the monthly installment and
interest, is but $88131 as compared
with $959.35 per month before, and
at the end of three years the equip
ment will belong to the city.
While the present council has been
freely criticised during its admins
tration, for many of its acts, yet the
people are beginning to feel that it
has done a most creditable thing in
installing its own pumping equipment
and in arranging to manufacture its
own electric current"
The report of the Mayor as to pro-
duction cost for k W. hr. of 005 is
corrOborative of their reports of pro-
ductiOn costs from superintendent
and owners of plants operated with oil
engines. This figure doubtless refers
to fuel oil and lubricating oil cost,
not including salaries and fixed charg-
eS.
The operating data of the municipal
ly owned water plant of Appleton,
Wisconsin, covering a period of seven
years, and using Diesel engine power,
shows their production cost per k. W.
hr, Cncluding salaries, $4,000 per year
cost of repairs and maintenance,
fuel and lubricating OLD to have been
.0146. Exclusive of salaries the cost
per XIV hr. was 00698, and for fuel oil
and lubricating oil alone the cost per
XIV hr was .0059. During this period
of seven years the average cost per
gallon of fuel oil was .069.
There seems good reason to feel
confident that we shall realize the
guarantee of the Fairbanks, Morse
Company of .0075 per XIV hr. with our
improved type "Y" engines.
Yours truly,
DR.. F. T. GORTON.

each month to run the plant with cleo

livered, about 200 gallons at time,

cheaper grade of kerosene which can
be bought at about &c a gallon.
No other power is necessary for we
have no trouble and have used it for
about 8 months at cost of $50 per

when needed.
If you buy make bargain that they
furnish everything, and make a COM

Sweet Potatoes i'm
Thirty-Six States
Popular Tuber Should Have
Sandy Soil, Sunshine,
Plenty of Heat.

Sweet potatoes can be grown In at
least 20 states, according to the rec
ords of the United States Department
of Agriculture. and there Is every rea-
son why n small planting Of sweet po-
tatoes should be made In every cottage
garden within those states, especially
where the soil Is Of q sandy nature.
While II IL true that the sweet potato
crop In more or less uncertain In the
far North. yet II the season Is reason
ably dry and warm and the plants
given good start. they will produce
fair crop. II 10 a great satisfaction
to have a supply OF sweet potatoes
grown In the home garden.
Sweet potato plants are started in a
hotbed and II is generally easier for
the cottage gardener to purchase the
necessary 100 or 200 plants rather
than to grow them. The plants, how
ever. should not be set In the open
ground until all danger OF frost Is past
and the soil 10 warm. Prior TO the set
ting Of the plants the soil should be
thoroughly prepared. First, II should
be spaded and thoroughly pulverixed,
then drawn up into fiat beds or ridges
with the hoe. little fertilizer being
worked into the soil as II Is bedded
These beds should be about Inches
In height and Is inches In width. or
sometimes they are made q foot In
height and Is inches In width. The
beds are spaced about 3 or 81 feet
apart, leaving rather deep burrows be
tween them. The plants are set IL
10 10 inches apart on the top OF the
beds and each plant Ii given about
quart OF water around les roots as II
Is set. The soil Is then well drawn
about the plants.
Sweet potatoes want plenty OF sun
shine and an abundance OF heat. hut
not too much moisture. The surface
Of the soil should be kept loosened
and all weeds pulled out. but aside
from this, sweet potatoes require very
little attention.
The crop should be dug just as soon
rs the vines are killed by frost: in
fact, the potatoes should be dug be-
fore the vines are badly frozen, II
the vines become frozen II Is necessary
10 cut them on just above the ground
before the frozen sap has a chance TO

tatoes should be dug on bright day,

value.
Two-crop raspberry plants must be
handled Just right In order TO get two
crops n year from them. About the
time the first crop In ripenlng the new
shoots are as tall rs the old plants and
grow much taller. There Ia always y
temptation 10 clip on the tip OF tall

new shoots must not be pruned at all
during the growing season. because
blossoms will begin forming on the
tips In August or September and q
good crop Of raspberrles Is the result.
Even II these canes should grow seven
