Report of the Condition of the Municipal Electric Light and Water Works OF UNION, S. C. From July 1, 1912 to June 30, 1913. Union, S. C., July 17, 1913. Commissioners of Public Works, Union, S. C. Gentlemen: 1 have audited the books of the Municipal Electric Lijcht & Water Works, and herewith hand you my report. This report is embraced in five Exhibits, as follows: Ex. A?Trial Balance. Ex. B?Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Ex. C?Earnings of Plant and Expenses. Ex. D?List of Notes Payable. Ex. E?List of Accounts Receivable. Your earnings for the year commencing July 1, 1912 and ending June 30, 1913 are as follows: F rom Water $5,(545.65 From Light 6.714.28 From Power 781.73 ! roni Supplies 1,493.33 F rom City 3.000.00 $17,634.99 Your Expenses have been (see Ex. C) 8,876.60 Net earnings $8,758.30 In .t.he item of Expenses I have written off $1,020.80 which was charged to Accounts Receivable, *but when collected was credited to Light and Water account through error. In the item of Accounts Receivable (see Ex. B) the City of Union is charged with $3,000.00 Water and Light account for year beginning July 1, 1912 and ending June 30, 1913. The City has also been charged with $3,000.00 for the year 19111912. These two charges amounting to $8,000.00 deducted from $8,801.11 leaves a balance of $2,801.11 aggregating some 140 accounts. In the item of Net earnings (see Ex. C) deducting the $3,000.00 charged to the City of Union you will notice that your earnings have been $5,758.39. In commenting on the charges made against the City I do so on account of the fact that the matter of these charges is in the Courte for adjudication. The plant is in splendid condition, steadily increasing its volume of business, and its are conducted ' vn S?und, sane and sa/d business principles, The value of the plant I as shown by the books in 1908 was $00,356.00. It is now $95,371.91, an increase of $29,015.91. Too much praise cannot be given to Jhe Chairman and his Co-Commissioners and to their able and efflglant ^frfclT business has been manand the success which has been aftftir.ed by said management. I!?? peope of Unibn should edrtaitily lid proud of their Electric Light A Water plant and shduid fHW the ""well done" to the Commissioners who are serving the people without pay or without price. Hoping that my work will meet with your approval, and thanking you for entrusting it to me. Yours very truly Edmund Bacon. EXHIBIT A. Trial Balance June .'10, 1913.

They have had good rains in some sections while some places they are needing it. Most of the farmers are through laying by. The Children's Day exercises were held last night the 20th at the Gault school house. The children did well. The speakers were Rev. W. II. Ariail and Hon. H. C. Little; both making good speeches for the occasion. The collection was also good.

Mr. Cullman showed me 0 an over shot water wheel that is con- I" venient in bringing the water about 1-4 of a mile through a small pipe ^ from the spring to his home. This j wheel turns by the overflow of water c on the wheel through a trough that forces the water through the pipe (l that goes up hill as well as on level. t This wheel goes all the time without s any one about, only the water. Mr. a Call man is a successful farmer and ^ has things convenient. Mr. C. O. r Allen has one on his farm just like t [ it. These are the only ones I know of. c This beats anything that I have seen in the way of bringing water. Miss Ruth Ariail, of Jonesville, is t visiting Miss Myrtle Gault this week, t Mrs. T. M.
