W. Ballard, deposed manager of the Cleveland Munieipal Light Plant, ssid in his Omaha Commercial Club speech that in 1916 this plant made a profit ‘‘over and above opera- tion and maintenance’’ of $42,610. In “Bulletin No. 2, issued last September in defense of the plant, Mr. Ballard claimed a profit for the seven monthe ending July 81, 1915, of $33,261. This figure subtracted from #42,510, his annual ‘‘profit,’’ leaves but 9,249 profit for the last five months of the year. And these five months, remember, inelude some of the heaviest lighting months of the year. Now, o reciate Mr, Ballard's , note that he gives the plant an average monthly profit of $4,761 for seven months and only $1,849 for the other five months, and that, Yoo, despite his claim that earnings and service are steadily increasing. It's a little difficult to fol- low that sort of figuring, But that is not all, The plant’s total revenue for 1915-—its gross income from all sources— was $541,496. Mr. Ballard elaimed an annual profit of $42,610, Having done that, Mr. Ballard abruptly quits the field of 1915 faets (when the plant aotually lost above $125,000) and plunges into the forest of 1016 fietion, He says the profit for 1916 will be $466,000. That is only $85,000 less than the gross income for 1915. Mr. Ballard gets his 1916 “‘profit’’ in’ this way: He says the plant’s gross income for Jannary, 1016, was $62,000. He says the operating expense was m,o%o leaving a profit of #38,000. (This does not include interest and other fixed charges.) fia mulf!pliu that by twelve and gots $456,000 for the year's profit NOW OOMPARE PERCENTAGES ? Now, then, if instead of losing $126,000 and more in 1915, the plant had made a profit of $42,610, as Mr. Ballard says, with its gross income of $541,495, its percentage of profit would have been a little less than B per eent. Again, note that Mr. Ballard takes the alleged gross income of $62,000 for January, 1916, and multiplying it by twelve gets his gross income for the entire year, $732,000. With his ‘‘profit’’ of $466,000, his 1916 percentage of profit would be 62 per oent. , M:I‘ultruhuhnpdhh“ym '" from 8 per cent to 62 per cent in one year, Think t This, too, despite the fact, as proclaimed by the lighting commissioner in charge of the plant, that ‘“we have no money to make extensions, and we are taking on no new customers.’’ Without any facilities for enlargement or extension, Mr, Ballard is going to have this plant— from the management of which he was dismissed by the voters of Cleveland — jump its *‘ profits’’ from 8 per cent to 62 per cent in the space of one year! AB TO THAT $62,000 IN JANUARY The plant probably did take in $62,000 in January, It took in about $61,000 in December. Those are both very heavy lighting months. But no one who cared to be fair would think of taking the receipts of those months as the average for the year. Anybody knows there is less electrie light used in summer than winter, Take August, 1915, Its total receipts were $44,000. It was a little less than the average, and yet not mueh, for twelve times 44,000 mivu 528,000, and the official reports at Cleveland show the plant’s gross income for 1915 to have been $541,405, NO WONDER HE WAS OUSTED All of this is of luterest only as showing the character of Mr. Ballard’s figuring. Mr, Bal- lard, as has been said, was the ereator of this Cleveland plant, and until December 31, 1916, its manager. In November, 1915, the people of Cleveland voted him and his regime out of office by a heavy majority. Sinee then Mr. Ballard, with syndicate press support, has been loliolflng employment wherever he could as an ‘‘expert’’ in showing other eities how to get ‘‘3.cent electric lights, as Cleveland got them. i Of course, any city can get them ‘‘as Oleve got them,'’ by having the taxpayers make up the pllm" losses year to year. There's no trick to that. AB TO THAT ""SAVING” FOR THE PEOPLE Silenced the force of facts as shown by the official records, apologists of this (leve- Iand plant, including Mr. Ballard, tell that it has saved a million dollars to the taxpayers in consumption rates. Well, in the first place there are no records anywhere to support the statement — nothing but Mr. Ballard’s word. In the next place, with only 15,000 or 16,000 of the 700,000 people in Cleveland patronizing the plant and ALL the taxpayers making up its losses, it would he a little hard to make eople see that the plant was ‘‘saving’’ anything to them. In the next place, & statement of this character presumes that the rates of the private company would never be reduced, but would remain today where they were two and three and five years ago, when as a matter of fact the records show that, regardless of muniecipal owmership, elestrie lighfinr rates all over the country have been going down, and if for no other reason that that of multiple regulation, must go down. This statement about the saving to the people is purely arbitrary and the last resort of the apologists. The fact stands that 76,000 of the 90,000 electrical consumers in Oleveland still prefer to patronize the private plant, while only 16,000 are hooked up with the municipal plant, BALLARD'S $40,000 DISOREPANCY But to be fair to Mr. Ballard, go further into the records of his estimates and operstions in Clevsland, He gave Cleveland a munioipal heating plant also, in conjunction with its lighting plant. In March, 1913, old the people of Cleveland that in 1914 this plant would make steam for 23.83 cents per 1,000 pound: d turn up a net profit of §12,444, selling the steam at 30 cents per 1,000 pounds, Resolution No, 89,100, submitted to the city councll by Thomas 8. Farrell, director of in Cleveland, making a complete showing of costs, Income and expenses for this heatl {:::"rn- the :li'o' its :‘. shows m‘: Intu'dfi:.l [ pn‘m l;: hl.:::.l‘- ||'lI4 :«l;m a loss of 927,742 Instead of pro. ucing steam 2888 oents per pounds, pro [ cents 1,000 pounds, lostn, cents on every 1,000 pounds of steam pndnoo'd! s o it And the price of steam to the consumer is 35 cents instead of 30, and another increase is necessary if the plant is to survive, and if the increase is made it probably will put the plant out of busin 3 S0 between Mr. Ballard’s prophecy and fulfill ment you have a discrepancy of more than and there is only 637 cents difference botween the loss and what Mr. Ballard sald ke would make 1, pounds of steam for, NOW FOR STREET LIGHTING Lighting Commiswioner Davis of Cleveland, the man with whom the people d'splaced Mr. Ballard SAys that $200,000 of bonds Issued for the “white way" were used up without compleiing the white way. ¢ He ;,.\,.v “there is no hope of & bond Issue this year and the over-expenditures on thir one item alone will top 100,000, In addition to these losses, |t should be remem bered that the city pays more for strest lighting by the munfeipal plant than by the private plant. The rate is the same with hoth- $49.80 per lamp, but the private company returus & per cent on I'a groas earnings as (ax, making its net price to the city §45.82 It s little wonder, therefors, that the private company has 3,916 lamps in service as compared with the municipal plant's 1,883 PROPOSED RATE FOR OMAHA LOWER It may be of Interest (o note that relatively the s treet lighting rates proposed for Omaha cently-rejected contraot were lower than those in fores in C) nd THE TAXPAYERS' BURDEN WhAL Is the meaning of all this to the Cloveland taxpayers.(his ever-reourrd manictpal ownarship loas?
