The old power station, when taken over by the city,was put in as good condition as possible and operatedfor one year (1909) with breeze coal at 50 cents per result was a loss of $2,768, without allowing for de-preciation. The fire caused a sudden and complete changeover to the new station. The new power station during the first complete yearsrun (1910) was operated non-condensing owing to delay in. Switchboard, Motor Generator fciel and Iiping delivery of the piping and therefore under .the most un-favorable conditions as to coal consumption, boiler feedwater, etc. The coal used was run of the mine as abovedescribed, and costing under $2 per ton Tbe charge forelectric light and power remained the saiUL- a> the prcvinu-,year. The citys financial statement shows that the result ofthis first years operation of the new power house was abalance of $30,864 after deducting all costs and meeting in-terest and sinking fund. If we allow a further five per cent lor depreciation on the whole of the capital outlay forbuildings, plant and distribution system there is still left asum of over $19,000 as clear net profit.
