PreVided bythe Town‘ ; , It 1 Profit ‘ Maya-“Smalls“ o! nonmw is mu omitting the municipal plants 01 of the province. and reporting to this couneil. In the last issue of the; Mercury, of which, by the way he is‘ editor. the plants at Parry Sound are described as follows : ‘ The municipal waterworks plant was installed some twelve years ago. For ten years of that time Mr. Geo. Murray has been engineer and super- intendent. He and the electrical sup- erintendent, Mr. Groves, were at work running a line of wire to the power houseâ€"for it is under considâ€" eration to run the waterworks pumps; by electric motor,-â€"and omigingly went to the power house to give ,me information. The pump house is a mile or so from the centre cf the {town, situated on the shore of the 1bay, far enough from the town to avoid all danger of pollution from sewage: which however, is only a possible danger of the future. for as yet Parry Sound has no complete system of sewerage. The waterworks intake pipe runs out into the buy about 300 feet, and the water is dis- tibuted through about five miles of mains. The waterworks plant has cost $38,000. -vvâ€"v va _ _ _ _ There are 350 watertakers: who 3 contribute in revenue $2.560 a year- ‘ Last year, council decided that it was only fair that the town should ‘ payto waterworks account a similar rate for the rent of hydrants to that it would pay to a private waterworks company: or at $30 a hydrant, 161,100 : making with what what ‘was paid by the private customers. a_ total revenue of $3,660. Against this there are debenture payments (principal and interest) of $2,231.28 each year: salary of $500 a year in Cash (besides firewood and free house) to the pump house engineer; $400 a year for fuel; and approxi- mately $100 to the town treasurer for book-keeping and receiving the water rates, besides $250 for insur- ance and maintenance incidentals; leaving a. total cash profit of some $200 a year to the town from its ownership of waterworks. The 1hr)?! Sound people have ap- parently lower water rates than Ren- frew. Their schedule is built on a‘ somewhat elaborate scale, taking ac- count of both number of rooms and number of inmates; giving a face cost of rather more than Renfrew But as there is a discount of 30 per ‘ cent for cash payment, the rates are f‘eally slightly lower than with us: though value for value they are not. Because, Parry Sound has not, as beâ€" fore noted, any general sewerage sys- tem, and consequently cannot offer to its watertakers anything like the real service for convenience and ,t w ingzilth that Renfrew does to zens. The pixmping plant consists of but a. single boiler and set of pumps, capacity is 800,000 gallons for 24 hours; the boiler being of 60 horse power; There is an elevated water tank holding 25.000 gallons and as the consumption goes up sometimes to 100,000 gallons 3. day, there has to be pretty constant pumping.

It is not a satisfactory plant to run. ‘In the two years that the town has ;owned it there have been four diner- lent superintendents. A Mr. Easton lwas superintendent when the town took possession. He was getting 8720 a year. He could not give a. satisfactory lighting service with the plant as it was. He stayed a year. Then H. Farrer tried it for a month, at $50 a month, and dropped it. His successor, Wm. Dent, was to get $60 a month. He stayed ten days and that was enough for him. The pre- sent superintendent. Mr. Groves, has beeen in charge now for a year at $75 a month. I fancy he has made some improvement in the condition loi things, being a practical man. able to repair transformers and do all kinds of electrical work] But. jugding from his letters to the press and council, he is not particularly {enamored of his position. p Cllmv-w v- uâ€"- r' 7 , There are some 250 customers of the town's lighting plant. and they pay for light on the following sched- ule, which we understood was'prac- tically prepared for the council by Major Knifton, the treasurer after he had been sent to a. number of places to study the financial side of the matter in the light of the experi- ence of these other towns. The rate he therefore recommended to the council was not a metre rate, but a w a“--- flat rate, with some limitations; alâ€" though a meter rate can be had if the customer is using over 29 lights and is willing to pay $2 a. year for meter rental. The meter rate in such case is 8c. per 1000 wattS. 0n the flat rate the price schedule is as fol- lows per year for 16-candle-power lamps : 1 lamp, .............................. $5 00 2 lamps each, ........................ 3 85 n A. ~â€" .- -ww lcent for three months in advance. ‘While 5 per cent. is charged on all bills not paid within 15 days of preâ€" isentatjon.
