General Description of the
Proposed Plant and Ca-
pacity
The high price of materials caused
by war has so increased the cost
of the proposed new electric light
plant. in the Second District that
and “where will be a deficit from $2,000
to $5,000 until 1924. according to a
report made '67 the .l. G. White En.
gincering Company. The lowest cost
of building a plant which will be
able to produce enough current to
supply the city without purchasing
t some from outside sources is estimat-
ed at $406,900.
The electrical commissioners wish
to obey the will of the. people and
are perfectly neutral as to whether
the work of .. ing the plan, at this
time should be carriedth 31m.

According to reports. $355,000 is the
lowest possible cost at which the
proposed plant could be built. Even
with this plant. it will be necessary
to purchase current from outside in-
terests. This amount will not allow
the completion of the building ac-
cording to the plans. '
in order that the. pl'ant might be ab-
solutely independent. it will be neces-
sary to spend $34,000 more for. ma.
