Under Plan Placed at $3,000 Yearly UTILITY CHARGE $15,000 , Agitation Under Way to Use} Excess Power For Street Lights and Public Buildings For the past thirty days or so a good many of our readers haye had under consideration’ the proposed power plant in connection with the! |new water d for our propos city. The city cil has recently | revised the specifications in their I! for bids in such a that equipment will be offered when the {bids are opened on the 28th day of May to provide a complete ally independent source of power for the plant. On’ May 1th the voters of our city will be asked to decide whether 0, aot a bond will be issued for the payment of thi ‘quipment and we feel that the ¢ n taxpayers of our city should be rightfully informed as to what the city commission will have before them for consideration and what the i- city will be able to accomplish with the new power plant when once in- stalled. Fairbanks Morse & Co. through their Tocal representative, have met with our city comn jon on several occasions and working with the en- gineers in charge have outlined equipment in the way of Semi-Deisel type oil burning eagines as a of power for the plant and have sub- j mitted a set of specifications which the commission has now included in ‘their eall for bids. On Muy 28th the commis: must decide whether or not a power plant will be installed in addition to the filtering plant or a complete electrical driven out- fit be installed and use our own plant ¢o secure electric ! energy. Company Statements The above company made several statements in support of their equip- ment when speaking to the commis- sion outlining: where and in what way the city can rastall oil engines and generate their own current and! effect an enormous. saving over the purchase of the same amount of cur-j rent from our local electric The equipment . called for former specifications for the pump- ing station was to consist of five pumping units, three on the high lift, from the plant to the) reser- voir and two on the low lift from the river to the plant. Each of these pumping units was to be directly con- nected to motors as well as auxil- iary gasoline engines. _ However only two of these pumping units would be in daily use one on the low lift and one on the high lift. The balance of the equipment was to be installed as additional equipment to maintain a high pressure for fire protection, Daily Consumption The average daily consumption of water in Bismarck for the past year has been something less than 600,- 000 gallons and it will require about a seven hour run with this equip- ment ‘daily to lift this water. This will mean that, one 30 HP and one. plant. 125 HP motor will have to operate about seven hours each day. With our present power rates which are on a sliding scale from 6c down to 3c this will per seven hours $: current. In ad- dition’ to this we must. pay a mini- mum charge of one dollar per horse power per month ror reserve units which amount to 415 HP. This will bring our ‘yearly pumping power bill to a tHfle more than $15,000.00.
