In announcing the new rates,
Mayor r.. B. Rentfro stated that the
loss OF $4,000 per year IN utility
revenue as represented by the re-
auctions In light and power rates
was being met by the city through
economies In management effected
during the past several years.
The thought Of reducing the
rates Is not "a new one with the
members Of the city commission"
he stated, and had been discussed
many times during the past year.
However, the damage done to the
plant and system by the hurricanes
precluded any reduction In revenue,
as our ~operating( expenses were
materially increased due 70 the
damage incurred. With the repairs
practically completed, and with our
operating expenses cut to the bone,
we r able TO reduce the rates to
an aggregate OF around $4,000 per
year. and still retain sufficient net
profit from the city's utilities to
care for the general operating ex-
penseS OF the city"
1AdtOI rbcHllIO pOlltcu OUT that
the city's utility revenues reached
the low OF S289. 900 in 1888, but that
for the same year operating ex-
penseS we're cut 10 Sl22 900. at which
figure they have remained, although
revenues have increased.
Total 1894 revenues were 500, 500.
with an operating expense OF S122.-
900, he stated. Anticipated revenues
for the year 1885 are placed by the
mayor at 1915 900, with a probable
operating expense OF $3.50
Peak revenues we're received for
the year 1891, when total receipts
we're 1852, 900 against a total oper-
ating expense Of S146.600.
Net profits OF the utilities are used
by the city TO defray all general ex-
penses of the city, including cost
OF operations OF the fire and police
departments and all other city ex-
penSes. The revenues derived from
the tax levy OF $50 60 TO meet prin-

II is interesting to know how this

was almost staggering to the mu-

We had worked on many musical
romances. such as The Merry

presenting a great. laundering
drama Of war and adventure, of
primeval romance and the great
thrills OF history. and this against
a setting Of Victor Herbert's ro-

task to accomplish.
That we succeeded IS due largely
to the breadth of vision of our
director, w. S. Van Dyke. For the
first time. as a result, Victor Her

its importance. for Naughty Mari
