South River has taken the lead in
the State for installing q municipal
lighting plant. Councilman Watts
introduced an ordinance Thursday
night, which, if adopted, will enable
the borough to construct plant, con-

sary for the distribution of electric
light, except engines, boilers, gener-
ators and such other machinery as are
needed for the actual generation of

The ordinance gives the borough the
power to distribute electricity for

the borough or council will have
power to enter into a contract for the
current.
The council has power to designate
the streets upon which the wires are

posaI shall warrant.
The ordinance was passed upon two
