THE ELECTRIC LIGHT
The Company Organized and the
Plant Ordered

The electric light company held Il
meeting at the National Bank on
Thursday night and organized by
the election of Messrs Jesse Walling.
d. b. Carson, ]. c. Biles, John Potts
and Chas. ColviIle as directors. Mr..
Jesse Walling was elected President
and Mr., d. b. Carson Secretary and
Treasurer
Sealed proposals for an electric
light plant were received from tfr
Thompson-Houston and the Jenney
companies. The proposal of the
Thompson.Houston Co., was accepted.
They will put in Il IS light machine,
but portion Of the power will be
utilized on incandescent lights, and
both arc and incandescent lights will
be worked on the same circuit.
1t is the universal testimony of all
who have used the Thompson Hous-
ton light, or who know anything of
its relative merits, that it is the best
light made. Between four and FIVE
hundred towns and cities in the
United States are now lighted with
it, and every plant is giving the
utmost satisfaction. Though Nc
Minnville has been little slow in
getting the electric light it is quite
satisfaction to know that we will
have the best system in the country.
The survey for the circuit was made
this (Friday) morning by Mr.. M. c,
Wheaton, the general agent Of the
Thompson--HOuston Co., who leaves
on the afternoon train, and will send
in the order for all of the necessary
appliances at once. He thinks he
can have the plant in operation here
in about five weeks.
The corporation takes eight all
night lights for street purposes.
The organization of the company
is due to the indefatigable efforts OF
Mr.. d. B. Carson, who has worked at
it with untiring energy for several
weeks. 1t gives us much pleasure to
record this long step forward in the
march ofprogress for our fast growing
little city.
