By The Commissioners of Public Works
TO THE, PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF NEWBERRY:
The Commissioners of Public Works are pleased to announce
per tenfj Ved'iiction iri all electric rates, effective now, and'to
be reflected in all bills payable August 1st and thereafter. Your
’ 'commissioners fee) that it is essential to the welfare of our city
jrt to’ foVnish electric power service at a low rate, and ft is our aim to
‘ J ' '"give as'‘Tow rates as is consistent with good service.
We are publishing herewith, and calling to your attention, the
most accent financial statement of our public works. We wish
to call to your particular attention a few items therein. Under
th$‘ head “Furid Investments”, appears the following: .
“Investod /fox, Re-insurpnce, Workman’s S. C.
Compensation Act fix.iw.uu
Mur*-'i Hdmi “Invested. :to replace standpipe f6,000.00
o-|jndfflr! the .State Jaw,., known as the “Workman’s Compensation
• AcVV the Commissioners of Public Works were made liable for
ni anjf accident to 4my of its employees, resulting in either partial
“.di’ tbtal disability of ariy sUch employee, or in death. The maximum
J ,^ l»b>liiiy under <A$s lavji!0 any one employee is $6,600.00. We
first considered taking out insurance to protect us against this
liability, but upon investigation we found that the Insurance com
panies regarded the work of our employees, who are power line
men and all employees working with sewer gag manholes, as ex-
-"’ ow tffemely hazardous occupations, and we considered the insurance
rates prohibitive. We discussed the matter with the State Insur
ance Commissioner, and he recommended that we might assume
this liability without taking out insurance, by providing a reason
able reserve therefor. '' 1 -l '
111 ; ^“ptlifer 'Invfestmerit, “To Replace Standpipe”, is made necess-
- f WX by the fapl.itljat pur present standpipe has now been used long
er than th e manufacturers thereof warranted. Should it become
‘ necessary to discontinue the use of the present stand-pipe, and re
place with'-an elevated tank, the estimated cost is $20,000.00.
For these Reasons, these reserve funds hare been established.
We have deemed h advisable to erect on the property of the
1 ‘ plhrtt living quarters for some of the employees, for with the mor e
! ‘ ’ gepej-gj, use of electricity, it is mor e necessary to givt constant
twenty-four hpwr. service uninterrupted. We are glad to call to
your attention a statement from your superintendent as to the ad
vantage of this improvement, which has had his recommendation.

L. WELLING ft SON, Auditors
By J. L. Welling
ic
jjomniissioners' of Public Works,
(ewb^rry, S. C.
lentlemen:
It has been tihought advisable to operate the Water and Electric
/itching plant here in tLvee (continuous) twenty-four hour shifts.
Is ah average of twice the entire capacity of the standpipe is
Bed here dailj|. And, too, such as fire hydrants and power poles
wore likely to be wrecked by cars, etc., during the nighttime.
Xnd dig same is true as to alarming leaks and overflowing sewer
itanh^les. !
” An ! effort is! made to have at least one dual purpose lineman
ajhswer all fire alarms along with the firemen, and co-operate with
tjjem In cutting and clearing the electric wires to burning build
ings, etc., and to relay messages pertaining to the fire pump and
the flow desired by the chief there in charge.
All pumpege, main switch operations, etc., are now done electri
cally—hence it is all important that the electricity be maintained
100 per cent of the time—otherwise even the tower switch has to
be climbed to and operated by hand, so as to enable the Power
company to prove out their intervening service lines thereto. That
is, since any blaze is actually a conductor of electricity, h»kh vol
tage switching has to be done under or in a bath of switch oil.
That (at best) is not perfect, and will itself ignite under adverse
conditions, and hence is no longer installed «mi the inside of a
building; but is placed out and up on a tower. Consequently, such
as linemen should sleep within calling distance of the filtar and
night operators, and thereby be enabled to. serve'oa trouble-shoot
ers there, as well as at fires, water and pole line wrecks, etc. That
is, occupied passenger elevators, defrosted refrigerators, stores,
traffic signals, the hospital, picture shows, shops, offices, etc. must
have electricity. It Is desired by your superintendent that filter
operators be encouraged or induced to remain around home and
rest during supposedly off hours; for in addition to the multl-
pumpage and Alteration and switching operationju a half dozen
daily chemical ahd bacteriological tests are “ruirf^|nd incubated
and the careful results thereof regularly mailed to ;th e exacting
State Board of i Health ct Columbia, S. C.
A large number of aB water plants and such like (and possibly
cotton mills too) npw house at least part of ,their,^4)ial . purpose
trouble men and operating shifts, handy, on their own premises.
Consequently, your superintendent is now endeavoring to make and
maintain your all important service up-to "Jusl whatril should be.
Ypurp very' Respectfully, ‘ 1 ' '‘ r
, , ,, , „ Homer W. Schumpert,
.,'-j . , ■. : n d'!' Superintendent.
