.Hdfe|i Charges
$4,000 Waste
On Power Fees
EIoise Buys $4,000
Extrs Electricity Despite
Owning Plant, He Says

A possible saving OF $4,000 was
seen by Auditor Ray Hafeli today
as his continuing drive TO reduce
expenses fell upon the
standby" electrical agreements
of three institutions.
He found that the county jail
and the Wayne County Training
School are not taking advantage
OF free power offered by their
contracts; and that Eloise is using
S12, 900 worth of extra power a
year although its own facilities
are capable OF double normal out
put.
'1n the case Of the Jail and
school, some one just neglected
to throw the switch" he said.
''The EIoIse situation may call
for further accounting"
Hafeli explained that the Jail
pays $500 annually for stand by
or emergency service from the
Public Lighting Commission. This
entities the Jail to that much free
power.
The training school pays 81, 375
to the Edison Company for a SINH
lar safety reserve, but, like the
Jail. has failed 10 use 1t.
Eloise pays $1,000 a month TO
the Edison Company for stand by

pital consumes $1,000 worth a
