A warning is up calling meeting OF
the village on the 10th OF August, to see
if the village will vote to put in an cleo
trio light plant this fall. The Potterville
water power has been purchased, and it
is hoped that the village willimmediately
commence work upon plant, so that it
may be in running order before winter
sets in. The sooner a good plant is
installed here the better tor the village.
There is no doubt but what plant
managed rightly here will be source
not only of beauty and comfort but a
substantial income to the corporation.
There should not be dissenting voice to
the immediate installation of plant.
Many say we are not ready for it at this
time. but we are always ready for a
good thing and for an immediate income.
This municipal plant should be put in at
once, and the quicker it is installed the
more advantageous position it will hold.
The private plant is taking on new GUS
TONERS every day, and the village might
as well have the profit to be made on
electric lights as to allow it to drift
away into the pockets of individuals
and non-residents at that. Borrow the
money at AZ per cent, put in good
plant and derive an income of from to
10 per cent on money invested. Turn
out and roll up good vote in favor OF it.
