Warwick Lamoreaux, Democrat, of Salt Lake City, which provides that the State of Utah own, acquire and operate electric Feb power plants, was publicly debated at the New House Hotel Wednesday night In that discussion it was shown that many communities are becoming tax free 22. Let us sight one example as was given at thru municipally owned power plants. in News of Feb. 23. that hearing and reported the Deseret Tacoma (Wash.) owns and operates its own power plant. In 14 years it has made a net profit of over $9,000,000.00 after allowing for interest, depreciation, taxes, and paying off the bonded indebtedness. At Tacoma, as the result of the operations of a municipal power plant we find that taxpayers are staggering (?) under a maximum charge of 2c per K. W. H. as compared with 8c in Salt Lake City (and Ilyrum.) The industrial rate is as low as 3 mills per K. W. H. Compare these rates with those in Hyrum, yet in 1939, the Tacoma plant made a This brings to mind an article published in the Courier gross profit of $1,375,498.00. under date of January 27, 1933, which article states that Our municipally owned plant has the possibilities of at some future date, ridding our city of the greater portion of its tax burdens. That was the fond hope of our citizens when we, in a mass meeting some four years ago, voted to build and operate our own plant but are we any nearer that goal today than then? Lets look at a few facts and figures. What does it cost to produce a kilowatt hour of electricity and bring it to our substation, or distribution point east of town. To find this we must consider salaries of operators, interest on investments, operation and maintainance costs, depreciation etc. A conservative estimate would place the life of our plant at 20 years. Hence five per cent of the initial cost should be charged to depreciation. Hyrum Citys report submitted, to the U. S. Federal Power Commission showed a cost of $86,058.00 for power plant construction. To this has been added the costing $539.00, making total cost $86, 597.00. Other figures iy the following table are taken from the Citys financial report for 1932. All costs that clearly concern the city distribut- -. ion have been omitted. $4,329.85 Depreciation on $86,597.00 at 5 per cent Interest on $86,597.00 at 5 per cent $4,329.85 Maintainance at plant $159.36 Salaries of Operators $2,060.00 Coal at plant $44.95 by-pa- ss $50.30 $5.38 Telephone Int. on final proof on Water Filing TOTAL OPERATING COST $10,979.69 This figure is in some cases aproximat as for example interest here charged is 5 per cent whereas on some of our bonds we pay 6 per cent and others 5 per cent, but since some 4 per cent money was used we strike the above approximate cost of 5 per cent for interest. -2 Then our operating costs for 1932 in the production of 3,255,900 K. W. H. was approximately $11,000.00; now since science has not yet been able to entirely eliminate line loss there must be a consideration of that factor taken here. Records show that 10 per cent is a very conservative estimate for line loss. Deducting 10 per cent then our salable electricity was 2,932,310 K. W. H., costing $11,000.00 for product ion or a cost of 3.75 mills K. W. H. - The article of Jan. 27, informs us that 2,485,400 K, W. H. or about 78 per cent of our entire out-pwas sold to U. P- - and L. This brought to' Hyrum City 2.5 mills per K. W. H. or a total of $3,106.75 below the cost of production. Some surprise! When will our plant be able to rid us of the greater portion of our tax burden? ut Lets go a little further. - , - Mezzo--SoDrau- o. - - "WHAT! KO BEER?

W. H., or about 22 per cent of the output. This would appear that science has been outclassed in the matter of eliminating line loss since the total K. W. H. sold to the U. P. and L. plus the amount consumed by the city is ex at the plant. As a matter of fact, however, Hyrum City actly the metered out-pdid not use 22 per cent of the entire output, for at least 10 per cent was line and distribution loss. JENSEN CASH STORE Home Owned Home Operated The table also shows that the revenue from City in 1932 was less than 1931 by $625.34. The rates for both years were the same. At the average price paid by domestic consumers $625.34 represents 8,758 kwh for which U, P. & L. would pay $21.89. Yet some contend that our sales to U. P. & L. bring us clear velvet. As a matter of fact our contract with the Utah Power and Light Co. prohibits as from extending our service beyond our city limits; and our high rates for domestic use forbids us increasing our consumption through the nse of load builders. Tacoma, Pasadena, Seattle, Ontario and other cities and provinces who have low rates are coming out from under the heavy tax burden. May not we similarly reduce our rates so that our consumption can increase and thus bring about the hope and expectation of the citizens who four years ago voted the bonds for the building of our plant? John E. Allred. The Cynthia Benson camp of the daughters of the Pioneers met at the home of Mrs. Reta Jensen. 23 members, 2 visitors and a girls chorus from the district school were present.
