(Signed) PRINCE RUPERT HYDRO-ELECTRIC COMPANY, LTD
His Worship the Mayor,
City of Prince Rupert:
Sir,— We beg to submit herewith a comparison of power rates as

offered in our proposed power agreement and as estimated for the City’s
proposed hydro-electric plant with Diesel auxiliary, In these estimates we
have used the City Engineer's figures for the capital cost of both Wood-
worth and Diesel plants, although these figures are incorrect in the
following points:

Engineering and contingencies were only taken as 5% on the
for contingencies and incidentals, and 10%

No. 1.
capital cost instead of 10%

for engineering, superintendeyce and overhead charges, which are the
amounts used in common practice for these two items, Comparison wita

the estimated cost of work and the final cost of work done by the city in

the past shows that 10% for contingencies is a low figure.

No. 2. It is estimated that it will take one and a half years to build
the Woodworth plant; therefore, 7144 % bond interest during construction
must be provided assuming the bonds bear 5% interest per annum.

No. 3. No provision has been made for the fact that the Donds will
not be sold at par. the bond will
require to be 11%

If the bonds are sold at ninety, issue

greater than the actual amount required.

Summing up the last three items shows that the City Engineer's
In spite of this fact, we have accepted
The different results

estimates are at least 3344% low.
for a basis of comparison his estimates as they stand.
arrived at are caused by the following:

(1) Station labor.

The City Electrician proposes to operate the Woodworth plant, which
is an isolated hydro-electric plant, with only one man per shift, and has
provided no patrol man to look after intake on Woodworth Lake, the pipe
lines and the transmission lines, and has charged no proportionate cost of
his salary to power production, The Company feels that two operators on
each shift are essential in any plant where there is rotating machinery as
well as electrical equipment to look after, and has provided in every
instance in its own plants for two men per shift. In the Company's esti-
mates two men per shift are allowed in the Woodworth plant and one man
per shift in the City Diesel plant, although in the Company's own Diesel
plant at Porpoise Harbor two men per shift are provided for.

As the City Diesel plant is designed as an auxiliary plant it is abso-
lutely essential that they should have the most efficient operators and
sufficient staff on duty to start this plant in the shortest possible time

in case of necessity. Therefore, two men per shift should be provided in
this case.
(2) Switching and Transmission Losses, Etc.

The City’s estimates are based on the assumption that there will be
no losses in generation, switching and transmission in the City scheme.
The Company have assumed, however, that losses from the City’s plant

will be 1% up to 1000 H.P., 2% for 1000 to 2000 and 3% from 2000
H.P. up. There is no plant in existence which operates under any condi-

tions with 100% efficiency.

With reference to the Diesel plant when running during peak load
period, we believe that the periods of 2 hours and 3 hours used in the
City Electrician’s estimates are entirely too low, and comparison with load

curves elsewhere proves this contention. The fuel cost would thus be
higher than estimated.
Yours truly,
Yours truly,

A. W. AGNEW.
