In reference to the sheet and report in general of Wa
ter and Light Commission, it seems sufficient to say that for
the first time since its organization; the work shows they
have a cash balance on hand of $31.60, when heretofore the
Commission has been so unfortunate as to be several hun
dred dollars overdiawn at the end of each year. In addition
to the very splendid showing as made by them, they have
made a permanent investment at the creek station in building
a dam at the cost of $53571. In the report of the Water
and Light Commission, I do not report any uncollected bills
for the month of December, 1913, as you understand the
bulk of same will be paid on ioth of January, and could not
really be counted or reported as uncollected or uupaid items.
I respectfully ask your attention to a summary of this
report in general. After an investigation you will see that
the actual income, over and above the actual expenses for
the period named is $8,325.79. Figuring the difference in
the amount of uncollected taxes of now and then, in addition
to the above named figures, you will realize the financial con
dition of the city is $9,005.12 better than one year ago. You
have invested approximately si,ooo.uo is permanent improve
ments.
In conclusion allow me to tender my appreciation to
your body for the courteous treatment extended me during
the past year, and as a citizen of your city offer my congrat
ulations and praise for your splendid year’s work, commend
able of your best efforts.
Respectfully submitted,
H. N. Rainey, Jr.
Clerk of Council, and of the Water and Light Commission.
