Price For Electridty

Wonld be Proper Price for
Power for Trolley.
Engineer William R. Smith, wbo waa requeated to give bis opinion aa to the proper price to charge (he Free- port Railroad Company for power fur its new line down Greve Street, baa submitted his report to the Village Board of Trustees, which they will act apon this Friday evening:
Freeport. N. Y., Feb. 21, 1913. Honorable  Board  of Trastees of   the
Village of Freeport, Gentlemen:—
In accordance with the resolution of yoar Board, February 7tb, 1913,1 bave spent considerable time and ntudy in reference to supplying tbe Freeport Railroad Company with power from the Village electrical plant.
In examining the epecifications of tbe Freeport Railroad Company, I find tbat they are asking for power not to exceed a maximum of 200 KW. They are to furnish lotary converter, trans¬ formers, switch wiring, etc,, and in¬ stall the same ready for operation- They are also to furnish and erect their own wire from the power houtie to their trolley line on Grove St., attach. i ing tbe aams entirely separate frot^ all village wires to the poles that are now in use.
The Trollflv Company shouJ'i also furnish repairs to their apparatus. This would leave the village the fol¬ lowing to furnish: One three phase watt-meter lor measuring A. C. cur¬ rent furnished to the Trolley Company ; floor space for erecting their apparat¬ us; oil; all necessary superintendence, and labor for operating the same.
In furnishing this power to the Trol¬ ley Company, it would be necessary, in order not to in any way interfere with our commercial lights, te devote one engine and dynamo entirely to tbeir use during the hours that they were operating, This would be practical, as when our new work is completed, we will have a capacity of 600 KW. Our preaent needs are about 276KW and will perhaps not exceed 300 KW for some ti.-ne, which would be about the capacity of ihe new engine and dynamo that we are installing. Thai would leave the 200 KW engine and dynamo that are in use now to take care of the trolley work, and still leave as one engine and dynamo of 100 KW capacity in reserve—unless at some time it became necestary te siiut down the 800 KW unit at the time of the peak load, which might require us tu drop the trolley for a short time. This is not likely to happen.
In supplying power, it is customary to charge a fixed price per KW for the maximum number of KW demanded. This is for the purpose of paying in¬ terest and depreciation on the apparat¬ us that it is necessary to bold in readi¬ ness to take care of this demand. Tbe usual pi ice charged by electrical com¬ panies for power per month per KW demanded is SI.00. Some charge $1.00 per month per HP, which is a little more than $1.00 per KW.
In the case of the Freeport Railroad CooDaiiy, where they art to furnish their own lines and a portion of the apparatus, I consider that a fair price would be 76c per month per KW de¬ manded.

This wao done, but tbe young girl died on tbe operating table before the operation was started. Funeral aerv¬ ices were held on Tuesday morning.

j at this minimum price another way, j by taking in consideration tbe cost of I the apparatus which the village would be devoting to the use of tbe Trollev Company. Sucb apparatus, consisting of engines, dynamos, boilers, etc., has cost tbe village about $12,000 to $18,000. Charge 4 per cent interest and 10 per cent depreciation on this investment, whicb is a fair amount, and you still get about $160 per month minimum charge as before.
In order to 6x price per KW iti ai- dition to the minimum for tbe current to be uaed by tfae Trolley Company, it was necessary to try and find tbe cost of current to the Village at the power bonae. To do tbis, I took last ye»r'a treasurer's report from March 1st, 1911, to March 1st, 1912, and propor a success by attending and especially i tioned sncb bills as pertained to the those wbo contributed to tbe musical!

The weekly meeting of tbe Town Board was held at Hempatead Monday afternoon wben all tbe members were present.
An application for the lease ef a ten acre plot of Town land at Lawrsnce; an island in the centre of Banniater Creek, waa received from Frederick Gilbert of Cedarlturst. The applica¬ tion and map, sfaowing the property in question, was referred to the commit¬ tee on Town lands and upon tbeir ra- port of favorable tbe Clerk was in¬ structed to draw a ten year leaae for the property.
A petition, signed by 51 taxpayers of the Cedaihurst Lighting District, was received, asking for a 800 candle power electric lamp to be placed near tbe corner of Rockaway Turnoike and Rugby Road; referred to Supervisor Craft.
In a communication, the Seaford Land & Improvement Company, by W. C. Weildenberger, asked that gaa mains, in the proposed new lighting district, be run' through Brooklyn and ' Jacksar. Avenocs in Saafood .Manor. . In the communication it stated that tbe roads were owned by tbe Company, but tbat they were willing to deed them to the Town.
Tbe matter of forcing the City of New York to replace the old roadway on the west side of tbe reservoir be¬ tween Rockville Centre and Hempatead was again taken up. At tfae requeat of Supervisor Craft, E. J. Jenninga wfao has been so actively fighting tbe City on tbia proposition after securing the bailding of Eagle Avenue aome time ago, read the last section of the petition, wbicb gives tbe City tfae pre¬ rogative of placing an entirely new street along tbe disputed section.
Supervisor Craft stated that be thought thai if a committee was ap- poii ted to confer with Girdell V. Brower, representative of tbe City in this section, be thought that satiafac¬ tory arrangements could be made to get tbe road and that there was a pos¬ sibility of getting a three-rod road in¬ stead of a two-rod one, which the old one was claimed to have been. Sip- ervisor Craft, Highway Superintendent Raynor and Jastice Neu was the com¬ mittee and tbey were empowered to employ T. Parsons as counsel, if faia serviees were necessary. It waa alao underatood tbat Mr. Jenninga waa to be in attendance at any meetinga be¬ tween the committee and tbe Gity'a repreaentative.        	
On Monday, February 24, tbe 60-day report of Overseer of tha Poor Frank Williama was received. Mr. Williams claimed the alleged shortage of $676 was for automobile hire and traveling expenses previous to April 1 and whieh amount bad been disallowed by tbe auditors at tbat time.
Prior to tbe first of April Mr. Wil¬ liams had been paying for tbe automo¬ bile hire from tbe Poor funda tbat be had in hit hands and tben rendered bia bill at the end of bia first year's work to meet the deficiency. When the aud¬ itors disallowed bis bill it brought Mr. Wiliama in debt to the Poor funda to the amount of $678. It is understood, however, tbat Mr. Williama has not drawn any of his salary tbls year and tbat tbia will more tban overbalance the amount owing to the Town.
