LIGHT REVENUE GROWSDESPITE LOWER RATES

Kleinknecht Shows ' Municipal Business for Nine Months Equals Year's Receipts for Last Year. On Sept. 15 the gross revenue of (he Richmond Municipal Electric plant Itvas close to $90,000. As over three tnonths of the year remain city officials are anticipating that the plant's gross revenue for the twelve months Mil be close to $120,000, or $24,000 hiore than last year, when it established its record year's business of 94,000 gross revenue. The fact that the plant will increase Its revenue 30 per cent over last year despite a rate reduction of approximate 16 2-3 per cent, justifies the assertions of the city officials that Richmond's electrical plant is one of the most profitable municipal utilities In the United States. Superintendent Klelnknecht today Estimated that the plant's profits this year over operating expenses would be approximately $70,000. 'or plant betterments this year, however, about $28,000 has been or will be spent before Jan. 1, including the cost of the installation of the new street lighting system, and a temporary loan, contracted in 1913, amounting to $12,000, has been paid off, so it Is believed the plant's net profits will total about $30,000. Business on Boom. This year has marked a remarkable .Increase in the patronage of the municipal light plant. Since Jan. 1 over 700 new connections have been made and the plant's business is still increasing at a remarkable rate. So far this month 144 new connections have been made, which bids fair to surpass the new business record of any other month this year. The plant now has about 5,000 patrons. The action of the Indiana Public Utilities Commission permitting a rate reduction for both the city and the L., H. & P. plants proved to be a great boon to the city plant for its business has increased remarkably ever since the issuance of this order. The city plant further established itself in the good graces of the local users of electrical current for lighting and power by its recent petition to the state commision for another reduction in power rates. The competing company has entered objections to this action so the state commission has not yet made any decision in the matter. The increase of business at the municipal plant has so far been effectively eared for with its present equipment but city officials realize that a new unit will have to be established at the plant in the near future, but this expense can be met, even with another rate reduction, without the least embarrassment.

CHIEF STOPS PLAN FOR RELIEF DAYS

, Because of Fire Chief Ed Miller's objection to the plan of granting each fireman a day off in five, instead of the present plan of allowing one day in ten, the council committee appointed to make an investigation may recommend that the matter be dropped. Chief Miller declares the system woold decrease the efficiency of the department and would necessitate an increased number of extra men to fill the places, which would be an added expense to the city.
