j the   second   principal   factor,  namely, Operating expenses..  With a working capital at hand., the property- has been put into operation.    It begins to earn, but it considerable  time   must  elapse earnings   from to  meet all   of
expenditures. By all of the expenditures. I mean interest oji the cost of construction, taxes, operating expenses, a fund out of which the expenses of maintaining the integrity of the property can be borne, a depreciation fund and a sinking fund. During- this period .of insufficient earnings money' imistlic- borrowed to. make up deficits; nut only that, .but interest must lie' paid on the borrowed -money untij/t'he time that the earnings meet alJ/the cxpuenses. This accumulated jd-efVcit constitutes what may be termed the cost of procuring a going concern—:jn^ other words', the cost of establishing the business, ^Probably the least und'erstood fac-¦t'or of expense in connection with a public utility property is depreciation. This is a third factor in determining a reasonable charge for .public- utility service. By depreciation 1 mean the money require'd to he paid out of earnings in order to meet the expenses of maintaining the'integrity of the property. Depreciation is the result, of wear and tear aiid exposure to the elements. When machinery has bt'cotne worn to the point where it is no longer profitably Co keep it in service it is replaced. The depreciation fund mlist be maintained as distinct-

fore connecting., its service that- the" wiring is in accordance, with the strict terms.of the Fire Underwriters' Regulations, thus reducing the cost of your insurance and eliminating fire risks which would have been a nienace to the city. It has increased the value of your property holdings by-helping to mukeJPrinee-Geprge a city worthy of the name. This company is on a sound financial footing, has been.and always will be;. It is prepared at any time to make further extensions to take care of the public needs'. . This company has been operating during a period of insufficient earnings, In other words, it has rendered your city a necieaaary- service which up to the present does not warrant the investment. And now we are going to be frank with you. Its to,tal monthly revenue is less than $2000. Out of this small return its promoters have yet to take a single dollar for their own benefit. All of it "has been expended immediately in your city for wages, fuel, maintenance and general operating charges. The enterprise to date would be considered a financial failure, its promoters being compelled to invest fresh cap-italxo pay its interest charges. At the etukof its fiscal year this public service conipany will show a loss of many, thousands „ of dollurs. These statements an<Nfjgures will later bo verified by your public accountant. If the city, on account oCdepression and hard times fails to increase it. population you can readily appreciate-the fact that this company stands^to lose its whole investment. We, like\vou, must abide our time during these Tea^ri years until prosperity, good bukLness-and confidence return t'o us. In sjii^e of this loss staring us in the face the^ fact remains that this company has undertaken an enterprise which is a public service it is. therefore a public trust, and it* promoters will continue to put their best efforts as 'well as their capital into this enterprise in order to at all times fulfil its. obligations to the public served.

ly as an interest fund. It is the fund which insures the prolongation of the life of the property indefinitely und always in ii condition to render satisfactory service.
Regurding the fourth factor in de-te'iiiiinin}* a reasonable charge for1 service," namely,' a sinking fund, I will.not discuss it further than to suy 'that it is a most important and necessary item, and in the case of this cc&irnawf must be established later in its life, for :it the present time it cannot boast (if such a fund.
At the present' time this company is undertaking the construction of an entirely new central station at aj cost of approximately $lif>,O0O. Its i boiler capacity will /be many . times'.) greater thai] its present equipment. ] Its location is advantageously situated to take cure of/the_ steam pumping required for your proposed hew/water system at a nominal charge. - This would work out as a mutual benefit for both the public and its rfutilir service utility, ljor both light and power rates ,ctniid immediately he reduced msiderably on account of the fact that its machinery would be in operation continuously and because the actual pumping would take place during the day and lilmpstVentirely during the off-peak load. The utility would then be in a position to render a day service for power purposes..
