DsUy Mr. Rone's explanation of the earn mgs oi the utilities In the yesterday's .sper was much appreciated. It still Jee?s matters somewhat has, how. According to Mr. Roiie. the Utilities ads a profit of MHO, while the Provincial totfeetot of Munid parities says they made a loss of ti.734. The difference between these two author!. is. then. 11.414. Mr. Korte ex plains this as the result of bis giving set to cross entries, ouotlns in part the Inspector's note, tbs whole teat of which is ss follows: "The figures submitted' under the heading of "Receipts' -Ed ' Expenditures" sjs prepared very 'argely from an analysis of the audl-srs' reports, and although the classl- ticatlon of expenditures Is apt uniform 'n the different municipalities, and it :s in many cases extremely difficult to nake a distribution of the Items, yet be statements have been prepared vlth a good deal of cars and may be aken as substantially correct Items vhich are of the nature of cross-entries, deposit accounts, and trust ac counts, whlrh would have the effect of aflatlng the figures, have as far possible been eliminated." sir. Borte gives the receipts of the Wster Department as 1 43.093. while be Inspector says they were 3 1.870. a difference between them of 11,017 which is very near to the difference between them on the operation of the vbole Utilities. On eaamjnlng the Annual Report of lbs cfty for 1928, page 19. we find that the Revenue account of the Water Department is msde tip as follows: By Water rates, less discounts S32.429.82 " Connections and permits 836.B1 " Fire department, for use of byrante 2.000.00 " Tax Levy, special rates.. 10.427.12 t4S.893.Tl The last item "By Tax Levy, special ates 10,427.12" Is. apparently, one of the items which the Inspector has ruminated In his report, as being of the nature of a cross entry which has the effect of Inflating the figures. Can one rightfully consider monies raised by taxation as real earnings of this Utility? To the ordinary mind It eeema that as this tlO.427 Is not earned "by the Utility It should not be considered as a '"receipt" In determining the loss on operation. Editor, Dally News. REALIST.
