Nickle during the remainder of his career in the city council--at lenst as far as it concerns the ques- tion of the city selling gas to its eon- sumers for less than the cost of manu- | facture. | HU such a discussion, at this particu- {lar time, is, susceptible fo political interpretation, Ald, Nickle abso- lutely respongible for its introduction, und he must, however bitter the draught, swallow the dose he so ecare- fully compounded for another. It isa poor doctor who refuses his own con- coctions, . Ever since the city of Kingston -ac- quired the light, heat and power plant, Ald. Nickle has persistently, and' at times viciously, assailed the policy of ite administration and man- In a recent meeting of the council, an effort was made to east odium on Ald. Tove. The chief diree- tor and manipulator of this undertak- ing was Ald. Nickle, who is just now aspiring to a seat in the provincial lewislature, where he anticipates a wider and more fertile field for his im putative genius. Ald. Toye was some- what severely taken to task by Mr. Nickle for being one 'of the prime mov ers in the act which resulted in giv ing dollér gas tothe weneral consum ers of the city, the latter claiming and. the former admitting, that it was sold for less than it actually cast to manufacture, That is, the produe tion oh gas, separated from electric light, heat and power, cost the veily 30.26 per thousand to 'manufactine and the same is being sold to the con- for £1 per thousand, the losing after meter! rent reductions, nine cents thou sandd feet.

But owing to the construe tion! of the road in this city only about twenty horse power is used of an average in each of the company's cars, During the summer time the jstreet railway company operate eight jcars, and the average power per car {used is about twenty-five per cent. of {he power installed, and this means | twenty horsé power per car. Now each joa will 746 watts per horse ipower There are 1,000 fwatts therefore car of twehty horse power would con sume 11,920 "watts per hour, or 14 23.25 kilowatts per hour. This costs {the city 1.9 cents per Kilowatt to manfacture, which means within a small fraction oi twenty-nine cents .n hour for power furnished each car in {the street railway service, This power is sold to the street rail- way company at 1.60 cents per kilo: watt, and with a consumption of 14, 920 watts per Hour per car, it costs the railway company within a frac tion of 20¢c. per car per hour, regre- senting a dead loss to the city of nearly four cents pér bour per car. Now the local cars run an axssage of sixtesn hours, a day, and, as the city is losing de. an hour on each car, the day's work of each car means a loss to the city of sixty-four cents. As there are four cars running in the winter months, this shows a daily loss to the city on the four cars, at sixty<dour cents per car, of $2.56 per day, or $15.36 a week, Running four cars for twenty-six weekssin the year represents a sum of $390.36 loss to the tity, and for the remaining twen- tysix weeks when the street railway compeny run eight cars, which means double this amount, we have an annu- al loss to the city of 81,198.08, and a¢ the agreement has heem running for these year® at these rates, with their consequent losses, the city of King ston has lost approximately, $3,504.54 in: sdlling Mr. Niekle's company elee- tric power at 29 cents Igea than it cost uk per Mowatt to mana: facture.
