Referring to the capacity ’ increase
theorized in 1920. further progress (in
en extensive scale was deferred after
the first section was completed early
in 1921. This course was taken be».
cause the unfavorable cpnditions. unr-
certsintles and high casts relative to
equipment and construction made it
advisable not to proceed faster than
the immediate future required. , But
as the constantly growing demands
upon the plant have increased within
the past few months to unexpected
proportions and are showing no di-
minution, and an other parts ofrthe
equipment can no longer be depended
upon. except as an unsuitable and in.
suflicicnt auxiliary to ’iho new parts;
therefore. we deem it expedient 'to
upon such a some and at such a pace
toward replacement of all inadoqunte
facilities. the revampment of the
ditions make necessary, with the ex?
pectatioh of completing the, moderni—r
nation and enlargement. of the plant
by the (all of 1925 or sooner. if in-
adequacies and other compelling con-
ditions warrant. "PO this curl, we
shall be guided by combined export
engineering advice from within' our
own organization and from olsewhorc.
For resources. the plant's surplus
earnings will be utilized as far as
possible, with the intention of hor-
rowing such other funds as may be
needed. under the bonding arrange—
ments for which this District has ni-
ready made ample provision. A gen-
eral outline of the work to be done
and the method of. its accomplish-
ment have been under our constant
consideration ever since the construc—
tion activities were suspended in 1921,
and tho. first, work of resumption will
be the preparation of study plans.
recommendations and estimates. for
deliberation during this {all and com—
ing winter. Sin this way. a scheme is
expected to be decided upon early in
1923 from which we believe such a.
plant will be evolved. or tho most
modern and economic character suit-
able to local needs and or such im-
posing appearance. as will inspire the
just pride of the people of this com'-
munity in its ownership.
Though this plant has had its share
of accidents. fortunately none has ever
roar-bod tho mngnltudo of a calamity.
end its service has been more reliable,
especially in times of oxircme emerg—
ency than the average of similar
plants throughout this country. But
best of. all. during its thirty years. of
strenuous operations, it has never
been tho cause of death nor serious
injury in any one. , -
In consideration of the serious tuclV
situation. in combination with the un~
proccdontrd heavy demand for elec~
trinity. and with the facilities of this
plant. for such supply. being thus un;
usually burdened. and the. reserve
equipment rendered inadequate ' for
emergency. therefore. we earnestly
urge all who use the electric service
of this plant. to use it with the most
careful economy and avoidable waste

the report says:—- ’
While the pest yesr‘s income of

$6,047.55 over the former ingest

particularly mtifying when it is
realized that it has resulted in spite of.

spplied to rri‘bst of the year Just ended.
In the rosin. these income and profit
increases may be largely nttributed to
the extraordinsry growth in the use
of electricity ‘for power. lighting end
