WATER POWER.
We Have It.-Let's Hitch Our Electric
Lights to 1t.

EDITOR LEADER
In view of the possible improvement
of the city's electric light plant, involv-
ing as it will, II change of location in
its power building, why would it not
be possible to utilize the water power
at our front door-near the dam in the
Musliingum river? We think here is
an opportunity where the city has n
fine chance to benefit by a peculiar
fortunate situation.
between Butler and Putnam sire cts
the city has front yard-at present in
very dilapitated condition, but so sit
uated as to be made one of the most at
tractive places in any city. Now why
not use a portion of this city, plotrfor a
city purpose? Build near the river u
good commodiousi brick and stone
structure, equip it with a steam power
and water power The former would
be for emergency only and the latter
would be the power to do the work
during the larger part of tie year
The Phoenix mill is fine demonstra-
tion of the possibilities of this power,
as it runs by water power by far the
greater portion of the year High
water-high enough to produce level
at the dam, is about the only thing TO
interfere with the power to be had by
means of a turbine wheel.
In few short months the city would
pay for the water equipment and then
would follow an era of the lowest
electric lighting ever dreamed of, cut
ting the cost down very considerable
per cent.
For the use of coal, now what could be
handler? The railroad is close by, and
coal could be dumped right into the
yard of the plant.
Geogra phically, the plot referred to
is the very center from which the
electric fluid may be dispensed equally
i'll all directions.
The smart Yankee towns who en-
ploy water wherever and whenever
possible, would not allow such power
to lie idle at their door, They would
snap up the thing in minute, and
make it wealth-producer by being the
means of a vast economy.
Here is proposition that must ap-
peal to reason aud common sense. Let
us-the possible benefciares of this
plan-reason together, and take ad-
vantage of a unique opportunity. #
