SNOW BLOCKS INVESTIGATION BY HUMANE AGENTS Norwich agents of the Connecticut Humane society, recently received a call from the head office in Hartford, to investigate a case about two miles north of Versailles, in the vicinity of Hanover.

Shea of the city gas and electric commission and Mar- ers, enlivened the special city meet- 4ing in the town hall Friday night. Mr, Morin was out to find out whether the $1,000,008 city gas and electric plant was making any profits. The answ- ers he got led him to remark that ‘“we are only kidding ourselves,” when we. think we have a good proposition from a business standpoint in the city gas and electric plant. Commissioner Jensen told him that the plant showed a profit in its fifteen years of $169,- 343. The meeting had an attendance of about 300 when called to order by Mayor J. J. Desmond at 8 o'clock with City Clerk William R. Frisbie read- ing the call for the meeting. Corporation Counsel Joseph T. Fan- ning presented a motion to allow the city to borrow the city to borrow not to exceed $70,000 to pay interest and current expenses including balance of salaries and commission, the amount borrowed to be returned from certain expected receipts. Mayor Desmond explained that there was expected $23,000 due from the tin B. Jensen, one of the commission- | ‘priced expert.

Councilman Edward Crooks asked why the fire department was mention- ed as needing $9,000. He said they had $7,800 on hand to meet $7,300 in payrolls and the department could get along for the rest of the year on the $500 left. He didn’t want the impres- sion - zained that the fire department hadn't enough money to get along on even if $2500 was cut off its appro- priation last year. Gas and Electric Money. properly be placed on it. Corporation Counsel Fanning intro- duced a motion to appropriate $27,- 000 for the general expenses of the gas and electric department, the same to be paid back out of the receipts of that department. /I Mayor Desmond explained that this meant the gas and electric department wanted to be excused from paying back now the balance of a $45,000 loan made from the city in 1918. President D. T. Shea took the floor and said he wanted to enlighten the people—some of them need it—for we have been led to. think by misleading anonymous letters from a snake in the grass that money for the gas and elec- tric plant comes out of the tax pay- er,:but it never does and never will, declared Mr. Shea. He went on to speak as follows: ‘We are asking tonight for a little more_time in whaich to pay back to the city the sum of $27,000 we borrow- ed about two years ago for a sort of working capital. But on the other hand we are not going to say anything about the sum of $24,138.66, which sum the city has owed the gas and electric plant for the past five years. ‘When we borrowed the above men- tioned sum of $27,000 we did not promise to:pay back this amount at any particular time, so that in reali- ty there’should be no need of coming before you for sn extension of time. However, a year ago when we made the flnance commit- propriation. Little was said about it at that time, as the way things looked then, we thought we would be able to spare that amount out of the re- ceipts before the end of the vear. At that time we had our year’s fup- ply of coal bought and supposed we had our pay roll settled for at least But soon after gemands were made for more pay, which were grant- Soon came another and still an- n. Then, came the miners’ strike. then the government seizure of coal, which “deprived us of at least one- third of our year's supply. Then came the great storm, that tied up every- thing and caused us to beg and pay a fancy price for coal, wherever we coéuld .get a carload or truck lond to keep the plant running. To be brief, had not all this happened during the the occasion for this meeting tonight as far as the gas and electric depart- . This resolution was voted. Mr. Fan- ning next presented a resolution to al- gate for general expenses. In explanation of he need for this President Shea spoke as follows: Now as regards the ' borrowing of portance | $23,000 is concerned, we may néver|made her home until her marriage need this sum. We simply want auth- ority to borrow it, as a precautionary measure, and for this reason; as soon as we realized that we would not get the coal we bought, we purchased a few cars here and there to the num- ber of a hundred or more. Some of this we know was confiscated, but we do know that about 84 cars are on the way between the mines and Norwich. Should these come in a lump, it is thought we might need some money to pay for them. And we believe it to be good policy to borrow money, when you can and save the cash discounts, as well as the city's credit. Thus you all.¢an see our side of the case. If our request is granted I pro- mise you the plant will soon pay back both amounts. There will be no need of an investigating committée and the poor taxpayer will not have to go down into his pockets for a single cent. The plaything on ..orth Main street will show a small profit, even this year, and your incompetent commissioners will still continue their endeavors to keep the home light burning. “If the gas and electric plant were to be sold now,” asked Alderman Pen- dleton, “would it show a balance on the right side of the ledger?’ “That is a hard question to answer,” sald President Shea. He went on to say that it had always been his ideal to build up a fine plant and there had -been other propositions but these had been put to one side. In seven years the plant had trebled its income. The receipts this year are to be $430, Seven years ago . these $168,000. were about Is there any other business that story? oduct is the same as it was seven years a; the same price as seven years ago?

What is the Cost? “There is one question I would like answered,” said Mr. Morin as he en- tered the discussion.: “What is’the price per kilowatt of manufacturing electricity at the city plant?” Mr. Shea: 1t would take an expert to tell that. Mr. Morin: You are paying 2 high tell you? AMosi ol the business raii- ures are because men dont know the cost of. doing business. We may have paper profits, but they don’t pay bills. Are we kidding ourselves? How can you tell us you are making money if you don't know what it costs to pro- duce the goods? Mr. Shea answered that it had been figured three years ago by experts that the Norwich plant was produc- ing electricity for less than they could buy it. If at the end of the year.we have paid our bills and have a little balance, we are making money. Commissioner Jensen stated that.the costs. of making electriciy were at the office where people could see them. The plant has shown a profit of $160,- 843 up to April 30 and has made $9,000 this year up to Dec. 30. It may not have to touch a penny of this $23,000 but if it does will pay it back. /Under the legislative und other restrictions under which it has to operate it can- not do business on business principles. It should have the right to borrow for year. This year it has paid out $51,- 700 from its capital for betterments. In answer to Alderman Pendleton's question, Mr. Jensen said the plant would certainly show on the right side of the ledger if it sold out, even at 2 valuation much smaller than might Mr. Morin asked if what we have lost in taxes that would have been collected under private ownership had been more than offset by what the plant had made. He was surprised the commissioners are so little in- formed about the conduct of the busi- ness. It looked like a long ways from a good business mind. We certainly have got to supply this money, he said. Mr, Jensen: There is no question but that the taxes lost are far in excess of what we have made. Mr. Morin: Then we have not made woney. Mr. Jensen: Still we are making a profit, separate from that. AMr. Morin: You can't separate them. As a municipal proposition it's a loss, as a business preposition it's a los: It's a mind profit. Have you invest gated whether it is cheaper to buy power than to make it with all the incidental troubles? Mr. Jensen: It looks as if the city could make it cheamer than buy it. Next year ought to be a banner vear. We certainly get better street lights than before, and it costs the city no more, Mr. Morin: Have you any knowledze on this point under existing condi- tions? Mr. Jensen: We have received no offer. Mr. Morin: What T want to find out is whether we are getting the cheapest electricity we can. The meeting adfourned at 9 o'clock after passing the general vote author- izing. the appropriations, Mr. Morin was applauded when he started his cross examination, and Mr. Shea also was given applause for some of his answers.
