TIIK NORTH PLATTlfl SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE CHATS WITH YOUR , GAS MAN The Riitomobllo has taught us a lot about the thing wo call "depreciation." When some of - us bought our first car for a thousand dollars, say, wo kept track of tho gasoline and oil we used and congratulated.ourselves that tho upkeep was not as bad as we had thought. Pretty soon, however, we need ed now tires and a few repairs all maintenance expense. And thon in about threo years we got ashamed of the old ' rattle box and considered ourselves fortun ate to sell it for $300. What bc- caino of tho $700 difference? We chnrged it to depreciation. Tho merchant has it in shelf worn goods. The newspaper owner has It to tho extent of about ton per cent annually on his plant. Your gas company has it In tho wear and tear and broakago of mains, meters, ma chines and other apparatus. It is by recognizing deprecia tion as a fixed charge that we aro able to constantly substitute now equipment for old and so give you the servlco you demand. North Platte Light & Power Co.
