The item decrease in jobbing inventory of $211.20 in the expense column is explained by the fact that the department is getting out of the jobbing business and is selling the stock on hand as fast as possible.
The town streets were lighted during 1915 by the following lamps.

To ascertain the cost per year for each kind of lamp we first ascertain the percentage of electric current in watt hours necessary to light the different groups of lamps, and we find that the 14 arc lamps take 15.4 per cent of the entire amount of current necessary to light all of the lamps, the 490 carbon lamps take 60 percent of current and the 300 Mazda lamps take 24.6 per cent. The total cost for street lighting which includes the interest and depreciation charges with the maintenance bills, less the receipts of the plant for the year is $3189.84 as shown in the foregoing table. This amount $3189.84 divided among the various kinds of street lamps in accord- ance with the proper percentages as shown above, gives the follow- ing as the cost of lighting each kind of lamp for the year 1915,
