The Supt’s. report for the month of July as follows:

                        K. W. Generated                                                  158,300

                        Coal Consumed                                                          246 Tons

                        Used Pumping Water                                            35,400 K.W.

The New Turbine has been operation since Saturday morning, and has performed satisfactorily, it is yet to be painted, the piping lagged, and platform railing installed, when the same will be complete. It has performed excellent in all respects, and the small changes made today, were for safety in future operation.

Work has progressed on the street work, but were held up today on the account of the failure of our old steam roller. Would strongly advise trading this roller in on a gas roller, as always work is delayed when using our old one, and it takes special men to handle it as quite an expense.

Respectively Submitted,

L. D. Shank

Upon motion of Messrs. Burton and Hinkle this report was accepted ordered placed in the minutes and filed.
