TALK OF NEW COMPANY.
For Heating and Electric Lighting-May
Apply for Franchise.

One of the prominent capitalists said
today that he knew of company who
desired to locate in Racine and es-
tablish heating and lighting COM
pany, the heating to be done by hot
water plant centrally located. Such
plants are now established at Toledo,
Ohio, South Bend, Ind, and Chicago.
The plan is to make circuits through
the city and furnish heat. Regulators
would be furnished in every house so
that the heat would be kept at certain
degree. The cost would not exceed the
price now paid for coal for heating the
same residences. In connection with
the heating plant it is desired to estab-
lish lighting plant, both electric and
gas. In short tina a franchise will
be applied for. A local company could
also be easily organized to put in a
new waterworks plant if a franchise
could be secured. Racine Journal.
