LIGHTING DEPARTMENT.
f- —— ■ A MONTH'S RETTJEN. A rci-Urn of revenue and expenditure in ' connection with the corporation's electrio lighting department for last month was - placed before the Tramways Committee of the-City Council yesterday. The total revenue of the department for the month of May amounted to <£5029, as compared with X455S in. the corresponding month of last year. Jlr." Stuart Richardson points out that the increase cannot be taken as a true indication of tlie'"rise in the receipts for the month, on' account of the alteration in the system of meter-reading. From Juno onwards it will be possible to give fairly, correct " comparisons of monthly revenue with last' year. The working expenses of the month compare most favourably with last year, a decrease of ,£460 being shown, the principal reduction in expenditure being due to the great' saving effected in the con, sumption of fuel by the Parsons Turbino. After providing for proportion of interest, sinking fund, and depreciation chargeable, the net result for'the months \ of April and May/shows a credit balance of «£ISSB as compared with ,£ll4l last year.
