LOCAL HYDRO HAD GOOD YEAR Net Profit for Year's Operation. is Most Satisfactory The Public Utilities Commission has received the balance sheets and operating reports for 1932 from the Hydro Electric Power Commission. The. statement shows a net surplus on the year's operation of $1976.28, after setting aside $2677.00 for de- preciation and all other charges in- cluding Sinking Fund and principal payment on debentures.- The total as- sets are $150,002,12' and the liabilities are $40,144.31, and reserves total $35,- 851.96. 35,851.96. The percentage of net debt to total assets is 30%, which is • a very creditable position for the local system. The,,.net surplus for .1932 is lower than that of 1931, but this is account- ed for by the reduction that was made in the domestic rate for last. year. The Commission should be well pleased with results they obtained last year, and, no doubt, the users of electricity will also be thankful that their affairs are so •efficiently looked. after.
