The report was ag your special committee ap- penio to investigate the advisabil-, ity of our town taking over the wat- terworks and putting in an electric light plant, would beg to report as fol- lows: We have got the opinions of different towns and they all concur in the idea that all towns should own and contro! their waterworks and electric light plants, as by so doing if properly managed the town should reap a larger benefit, and we, your committee, after getting all the in- formation, or whut information we have as to cost of plant and revenue derived from operating same, would strongly advise the town to take over the waterworks and put in power and an electric lighit plant, and we confi- ages believe the same can be made to pay interest on the cost and a sinking fund equal to a twentieth part of the outlay from banca start and after the first year we believe it will do more. The cost will depend en- tirely on what is done but with good and sufficient power to operate waerwor as per estimates received yng with a good arc Boe system with etrke house and land can be put 'or $10 ee but "i in water mains are extended 0 pretty well cov- er the town a incandescent light plant be put in as well aw the arc light we believe it would cost consid- In our opinion the best game, t ms would be able to judge what Boater be most sultable for our town to ~~ The estimated cost of the works p pc are so conflicting that we tind it difficult to give an estimate that we have much confidence in, there- fore we deem It very important to get engineers estimates before anything definite is done. We might read re- ports that we bnve received [rom dif- ferent towns and the estimates e ve as to cost of putting in plant which will give the council some iden of wht Bs might expect can be done in Listo Bisset: "I.
