and Light Co., it would be to the
City's advantage to manufacture
its own current. 1t was the concen-
sus of opinion of those present that
the report be given careful study
by Council, and a further report he
obtained and published for the in
formation of the pOpulace and an
other meeting be held for discus
sion.
The recommendation of the Van
Mort engineers are given below
verbatim.
From a study of the City of Mil
fOrd's present and anticipated re-
quirements to provide For increased
consumption, and based on the
Delaware Power and Light Com
pany's existing rate, it is recon-
mended that the following remedies
be adopted, preference being given
in the order in which they are list
ed:
l. Construction and operation Of
a new $3.50 XIV steam genera
ting plant, using the existing
1880 XIV and 500 XIV ma
chimes for standby and INSTALL
ing two new 1000 XIV units.
Fuel to be coal, with provision
for converting to the use of
oil
2. Construction and operation of
$3.50 XIV diesel generating
plant, using three new 1850
XIV heavy duty, two cycle,
slOw-speed units burning low
grade residual oils.
i. 3. Construction and operation of
a 5000 XIV diesel generating
plant, using our new 1850 XIV
four-cycle, turbo-charged, me-
dium speed units burn stand
ard high grade diesel fuel.
4. Abandon existing plant and
purchase all power from the
Delaware Power and Light
Company.
The following summary shows
the relative cost of electric energy,
cumulative savings and required
investment through the ten-year
period from 1850 to 1860 of the var
iOus plans under consideration.

In each of the four plans outlined
it is assumed that the existing
> plant is disposed of, since investi
cation reveals that it can not b.
l operated economically. The out
standing plant value is written of
in each of the four plans and il
considered to extend over the ten
4 year period covered by the study.
