Waddell The McCann Agéncy Pronen 326-506. 86 Broek St. SHOULD BE REDUCTION IN ELECTRICAL RATES City Auditor Criticizes Hydro Commission for Not Giving Service at Cost. The city auditor's report sumbit- ted to the city council this week in- iciudes the following statements about | the public utilities: { Electric Department--In the rev- {enue and expenditure statement the | net profit shown is $14,938.89, which {15 $19.50 more than the amount {shown in the Hydro-Electric Power | Commission statement to the local | commission, Hydro officials wrote {off $12,603 to depreciation reserve {account which would make a gross | profit for the year $27,622.39. If the i books of this department were hand- |led in the same way as the books of |the gas and water departments the |pet profit would have been shown 'as $21,187.45. In fourfyears, Hydro has written | {ofr to depkbciation reserve $45,588 (and has charged against this account | $20,856.33, the greater part of which i belonged to operating expenses of the | different years, leaving a credit bal- | ance of $24,731.67. This account is jcontrary to the principles of muni- {cipal ownership, which is service at cost. If the attention given this ac- ycount was put to other matters, con- | ditions might be improved. Instead of piling a large depreciation account, {present day consumers should be given the benefit by a reduction in | rates. False Total of Assets. In the Hydro balance sheet the value of the steam plant is shown ae $76,653.59 and in my stftement it appears as $76,103.59, the difference of $550 is for a blower that was dis- carded and not taken into account. | This difference has been added to now stands at $25,598.11 and which is included among the assets, I do all the plant written off to this ac- count, but in accordance with Hydro { ideas, it has to remain on the books {and gives a false total for the assets. Hydro instructed the local com- mission to accept $20,000 from the jeity for street lighting for 1921 and |to write off the unpaid balances of 11019 and 1920. It was stated that | within a short time a statement show- ling the cost of street lighting would be given. As yet none has come to hand. The Hydro system has been in force here since January let, 1916, and there has not yet been a state- nient showing the cost of street lighting. It is time to forget theor- i | etical ideas and get down to practical business. Gas Department.

I to the bond issue of $80,110.80 for I | extension work, there has been spent 11$13,762.94, of which $10,000 was land interest, but Plant extension, $10,000; cost of {| Division street main $2,285.68; old meters scrapped, $244. Total, $12.- 529.68. The construction of the new gas holder and other plant was started late in 1917 and as there has been no settlement with the Kingston Con- struction Co., one of the contractors, cannot be closed up. In addition written off against 1921 profit and || loss accounts. There was an overpayment to the Davis & Farnum Co,, on account of | steel work and on August 4th, 1921, }la refund of $6,799.32 was received from this firm. Through the fault of || some person or persons, this cheque was not deposited until November 4th, 1921, and then the proceeds did not reach. the proper account for | | about six weeks afterwards. Through this blunder, the gas department lost between $400 and $500 in exchange the commission's minutes state that the transaction {| was handled in a businesslike man- ner, 'Water Department. The revenue and expenditure state- ment shows a net profit of $6,497.25 after writing off the following amounts: Cost of Macdonnell street main, $3,398.77; cost of Drayton avenue main, $805.38; old meters scrapped, $358.40.

The general: bank and cash ac- counts were short $5.28 when check- ed up with the bank and cash ae- counts of the electric, gas and water departments, Public Library Board, This is the latest addition to the municipal government nd the worst offender against munieipal procedure of the different branches. The board started off with the idea that they did not have to conform to municipal ideas, but were a ldiw unto them- selves, and with the exception of hardly two months the idea prevail- ed. I tried to get the board to com- ply with the Library Act but they would not consider the same. Then, acting under the adviee of the city 31st, 1921, how thelr accounts should be handled, which was in the same way as the city accounts, but no ac- tion was taken uml November 2nd.

The board has no author- ity to create an overdraft. It is the duty of the board to apply to council | for funds up to a limited amount and | 'live within the appropriation ani also {to have their accounts and books {handled in accordance with the lib- {rary and muniolpal acts. I could not complete the audit of {the accounts for last year as they {were taken and eent to Toronto. I found, however, that some accounts | were paid without being checked, and some were not properly allocated. The conditions were very unsatisfac- tery, and ft was impossible to work | with the board and some of their officials. | ENTERTAIN THE DELEGATES 'Of Home for Aged Managers | Convention Which Conclud=- ed Thursday Morning. On Wednesday afternoon the dele- |gates to the convention of the Asso- ciation of managers . of Homes for {Aged and Infirm were the guests of | the city council on the steamer Wau- | bic, which. made a delightful trip to [Cape Vincent, going by way of the | head of Wolfe Island, and returning !by the foot of the island.

Ford, state superin- ftendent of charities, New York, and | Dr. McKay, inspector of charities |of Ontario, accompanied the dels- |gates and their wives, and City Clerk Sands was in charge of the |arrangements..

W. Cple, Cape Vincent, reporis that he has a buffalo calf which was born Saturday at the Duck Is- lands. The baby buffalo weighs about seventy-five pounds. Mr. Cole is looking forward to a profitable in- dustry in raising buffalo on the is- land. He also has a litter of eight young foxes which will be raised for their hides. It was just about a year ago that (Mr. Cole added two buffalo cows {and a buffalo bull, all thoroughbreds, to his livestock on the Main Duck Island. They weré in Kingston two days on the way to the island and at- tracted much attention. Mr. Cole is being congratulated on his success. Postag® Stamp Colors Change.
