Waterworks tot fire pro- lection 12 year plant private limiting plant and lighting year a extensions and of the debentures annually paid up to the end of a safe predic tion that the plant will be classed among the successful ones fWitli a profit of in a year in which there was much expense for electrical supplies and an increas ing number of incandescent lamps from which the revenue will expand there is reason to believe that the early expenses will at least be fully covered and that the plant will ulti mately a source of revenue for the town or permit a reduction of water and lighting rites In addition the town derives benefit in several ways from better fire pro tect ion from the great convenience to the private citizens and industrial- in stitutions arising from the two ser vices lighting and water sup ply and to all of which a financial value cannot be attached in an esti mate of revenue ANNUAL EXPENDITURE The expenditure of IB9IF an in stance of the annual charges

terrttlory to bo served An issue of debentures has been made this year 1900 amounting to 10000 for the purpose of increasing the ca pacity and duplicating certain portions of the plant The present alternating flynanto with a capacity for incandescent lights has been wired with and the number is constant- increasing so that it is becoming overloaded although owing to tlie fact that all tights are never in use double the rated number of lamps on the house circuit and per cent a circuit of store lights is permiss ible EXPENDITURES General operation pout Salaried flurpluB from to iticloMvo

boilers en gines dynamos and waterworks pumps so that in case of breakage or accident to one set of machinery the engineer or electrician can at once put duplicate plant in- operation In j duplicating the electric plant it was decided to put in an engine boiler and dynamo of double the capacity of those heretofore in use so that the large plant can take care of the electric lighting during the heaviest season and the smaller plant during the summer municipality would be at all likely to undertake This is favored by the fact that a municipality can obtain money construction for about 2 per cent less- than is possible for a private company to borrow it New market except for minor particulars in the case of the waterworks is aid- by few natural advantages The principal item of cost power is de pendent upon coal ihe most expensive source The successful issue of the enterprise for which the town is de serving of much credit devolves upon careful management That the business men should be actively interested in the public affairs is to be regarded as an essential to good results all mu nicipal industries and in this connec tion it is to be noted that the Mayor of Newmarket Cane Esq is the head of an important manufactur ing establishment and has had over sight of the municipal waterworks and electric plant since its inception With the completion of the improve ments and extensions now proposed the electric light ana waterworks plant will become one of the most perfect in the province 263 BO 3 12 season when the demand for light is not so great This will operate both sets of machinery in turn and keeps them both in good order In duplicating the present suction and force pump the object is merely to provide against accident and should it be necessary to take one apart for repairs the other will be ready for operation in case of fire A tender has been accepted for an additional engine for the electric plant of the type horsepower and a horizontal tubular boiler rated at these to be set up arid connected by the manufacturer on foundations provided by the town for 3400 The new boiler will re place the old GO horsepower boiler the latter to become the property of the company whose tender is accepted tender has also been accepted for new dynamo of capacity con stant potential of volts of the same type as the alternating dynamo now in use The new dynamo with station apparatus will cost Such imperfections as occur in the plant are to be found mainly at the power house where the most satisfac tory arrangement of the machinery Is not possible
