Shea, a member of the board of gas and electric commission- ers, in a clearcut outlifed the situation in which the gas and electric plant finds itself at the present time. 5 B3 Nearly a year ago, in the closing months of eur- financial year, which is now fixed as April 30th, said Mr. Shea, we were brought face to face with our annual, and one of our most diffi- cult problems: that of determsining what the actual operating and over- heall expenses, including interest, dis- placements and general upkeep of your gas and electric plant, would be for the year 1918. Together with what T might say, the actual or at least prob- be for the same period of time. These problems are made more difficuit by reason of a statute enacted and at p;uent governing municipaily owned plants. This is & law which says we must show a profit of at least 5 pe: cent., ust not exceed 8 per cent, on investment. Rather a nany row margin to work within in ordinary times, and extremely so in these ab- normal war times. This faw not only reduires your commissioners to form these es but to turn over the gross receipts of your plant each year to the city treasurer and then through a city meetig and a court of common coun- cil we have to ask and sometimes even beg back & sufficient amount for op- erating expenses; a system which, to my mind, shouldbe changed. However, last spring, when we were considering - what we thought would be a fair amount to ask for, conditions were then far from being normal, and we hoped then that they would become no worse—and having then no way of judging the future except by the past, we tock a chance and asked the com- | 000 mon council to grant us an appro- priation of $215.259 plus .imterest to the amount of $31,480. Increase in Payroll. ne of us then were prophets and could not foresee an almost immedi- ate increase demanded in our payrolf, ‘whrich had to be grented—an increasg which in eight months amounted to $12,615.13—nor could we eee coal that we thought then had reached its price limit jumping from about $6.50 to $10.50 in some cases, making an added creased item of fire and liabflity in surance of about $2,500—eil, another very important item, soaring in price.

K. Tingley. It was only Mrs. Tingley’s promptness in turning her machine to one side and crashing into the wall in front of the City hall that saved the lad. The Philips boy was coming down Church street on his sled and slid out nto Broadway directly in front of the approaching automobile. Mrs. Tingley seeing the boy, turned her car quickly to one side to avoid hitting the hoy head on, Her machine crashed intd the court house wall after hitting the boy a glancing blow. The car was badly damaged and Mrs. Tingley, who was thrown against the wheel of the car, suffered bruises and a severe shock to her nerves. The boy was not injured, although his clothes were torn in one place. The lad was taken into the police sta- u‘:n kbut soon recovered from the shock, WHITE CROSS COUNCH HOLDS ANOTHER WHIST Sixty Tables Played at the K. of C. Rooms.

Receipts Will Total $300,000. ‘When this question referred to in my opening remarks of estimating our probable receipts was under discussion we were very modest in our estimate when we placed # at $250,000. It is now safe to say that if we are allowed to spend the amount asked for in our resolution and can get sufficient coal to run the.plant until May 1st this year's receipts will total about $300,- . Sosyou can all see very readily that the additional appropriation we ask for is not out of proportion to tne increase in receipts of the plant over and above wor first estimate, waich is a good showing for 'our inadeqiaie equipmeént in view of the heavy losses sustained by a disabled turbine in De- cember as well as our heatless days and lightless nights, which have less- ened our receipts many thousands of dollars. Personally I feel safe to say tiat had our proposed extensions and ad- ditional equipment been in operation during the whole year that our gross receipts would run above $350,000, and any industry or plant that will earn that amount is bound to become a val- wable asset to any city and it ought to make an item of $75,000 look small.
