COSTS.
The Works costs for this year have been reduced
.052d. per unit, and the total costs .017d. per unit sold. The
progress in this direction continues to be very favourable, but I
am afraid the great increase in the price of coal will tend to
neutralize the effect of still more economical working during the
present year.

CAPITAL CHARGES.
On the Capital Account the position of the undertaking
is as follows:
At the end of March last £275,444 18s. 5d. had
actually been spent upon the whole scheme, and for this
machinery has been installed capable of supplying (without any
reserve), a maximum demand of 5,000 units per hour, and did
actually supply during the past winter a maximum of 3710
units per hour. This is equivalent to a Capital expenditure of
£275,444= £75 per unit of maximum demand.
