the matter herein contained lemu-

report, for the complete fiscal year,
which will be issued after October

Fiscal Year Change.
We believe the electors will-concur
in our opinion than complete annual
teport of this department, rather than
a preliminary statement so close to
the end of the year, should come be-
fore each annual meeting of this dis-
trict. But under the present arrange-
ments this cannot be done unless the
decal year oi this department is
changed. As at present, its year does
not end until October 131b, or just
about a month after the time of the
district’s annual meeting as now es-
tablished.‘ Thus, though the present
../-
mI‘cnts of the former inquicipallty, it
is obvious that it is inconsistent with
structed, we will change our fiscal
year so that after October/13111, 1915,
it will end on the 3191 day of'July
thereafter. By so doingwe will‘gain
the tune necessary in advance of the
district meeting to enable us to sub
mlt a complete annual report at each
regulat September meeting of this
district. '
Income and Profit.
it is gratiiying for Inn to be able to
say that, notwithstanding the unrest-
are ill'-'passing...the. past. eleven
months have not been unprofitable to
your ~electrical~ department. During
that interval"a.I net income of $66.-
i75.2l has been yielded. from which a
profit ofI333,238.70 has beenIdet-Ived,
or an increase of $1,118.51 over that
of the same period of a year ago. Al
this ratio the complete year may be
expected to show an income of about
‘872. 000. 00 and a profit approximating
525.000. 00. '1 ‘.
it is :1 howdy factII that Ittc. IprogtI
0: this period is greater than that of I
3ear ago, while the 1116016. has been
less. This dltference ls largely due
to a EQMlBNODI at less costly main-
tenance and greater sales '01 electrical
