The item of Plant?there was a balance to this account on July 1, 1915, of $120,124.82, to which has been added, covering improvements and extensions during the year?

I have charged off for depreciation $3,000.00, leaving the net Plant Account $143,797.00. CONTINGENT $12,129.02. This represents amounts charged against the City of Union for lights and water at the rate of $3,000.00 per year, for several years prior to July 1, 1915.

EXHIBIT "B" PROFIT ANI) LOSS ACCOUNT. This Exhibit shows all debits and credits to Profit and Loss for the year ended June 30, 1916. The Net Profit for the year was $11,512.79, after charging against Profit and Loss $3,000.00 for depreciation on plant, which has been transferred to Surplus Account, Exhibit "C." No charge has been made for the past year against the City of Union for lights and water; for several years prior to July 1, 1915, $3,000.00 was charged against said City and Profit and Loss credited. If the usual charge had been made against the City for the past year, the net profit would have been $14,512.79 as against $9,548.56 year ended July 1, 1915, an increase of $4,964.23. The income for the year ended September 30, 1910, on account of lights , and power, amounted to $"11,514.86; for the year just closed $20,159.47, an increase of $8,644.61, or 75 per centum. In 1910. the rate was 15 cents per K. W. while it is now only 10 cents per K. W. It will be noted that the amount received for lights and power increased 75 per centum while the ; rate has been reduced 50 per centum. Water income year ended September 30, 1910, was $7,390.52, and for the year ended June 30, 1916, $11,388.88, an increase of $3,998.36 or 54'/r. This is an unusually good showing and one to be proud of. It certainly proves that Mr. Easterli'ng, Superintendent, and the Commissioners have done fine work in making the grand showing. EXHIBIT "C" SURPLUS ACCOUNT There was a balance to Surplus on July 1, 1915, of $51,921.36, to which has been added the net profit for the year, transferred from Profit and Loss Account, Exhibit "B", $11,512.79, making a Net Surplus of $63,434.15. SCHEDULE "1" shows all accounts receivable, in detail, as at June 30, 1916. $1,829.19. SCHEDULE "2" shows accounts payable, in detail, which amounted to the small sum of $1,899.78. SCHEDULE "3" shows notes payable, $'10,208.50. BOOKS AND RECORDS The books and records have been kent in excellent shane. This i? nlso proven by the fact that there is seldom a kick about bills. T have been in lots of Light and Water oflices, but in no case have I seen as few complaints as in Union. CONCLUSION. I found conditions generally satisfactory in every respect.

We cannot too urgently impress upon all who try our Remedy the necessity of going through a full course of treatment with it. The cures are all made by purifying the blood and building up the system. This requires time, and hence its action is often apparently slow. My Friend, This is Worth Reading, Suppose You Stop and See. Isn't It Wonderful? Mrs. Joe Person: I take pleasure in stating that your Remedy has entirely cured our little girl of a very bad case of eczema, which covered a great part of her body. She had eczema (periodically) from the time she was three weeks old until she was six years old. She is now perfectly well, and I feel that I cannot speak too highly of it. She has not had a symptom since she was cured. Respectfully, J. W. Cobb. Greensboro, N. C. Drive On! r our new stock.
