The only cost of operation is the current consumed by the pump motor and this is ridiculously small when compared with any other refrigerating method. Of course the drawback is that in many locations wells are not obtainable and in some places the matter of getting well water is a pure gamble. The investment is not great, but many theater men hesitate to gamble $2,000 to $5,000 on a hole in the ground, whether the goal is water or oil. The gambling element is further accentuated by the fact that wells are sometimes known to produce for a while and then "dry up." When "free" cold water is out of the question, the choice lies between mechanical refrigeration, or ice. Where ice prices are low (from $3 to $4 per ton) and in theaters that do not do a capacity business for more than one show a day, ice is cheaper, simpler and offers many advantages. Theaters that do a fairly big business for two or three shows a day probably will find that the larger investment in a mechanical refrigerating system is justified, as the cost of operation, electricity, water, etc., will be less than the cost of producing the desired cooling effect with ice. The deciding factor in making this decision should be a careful analysis of the entire cost of operation which will include interest on the investment and a reasonable charge for depreciation.
