MORE STREET LIGHTS.

The electric light plant since it be-
came the property of the city two years
ago has taken extensive strides in
progress in order to enable it to meet
the demands for its service in both the
business and residence portions of the
city. 1t is at the present time sup
plying light to almost double the num-
ber of consumers it did twelve months
ago, at which time the lack of power
and machinery for sending out the cleo
trio current left the plant anything but
paying proposition to Its owners. The
proposed improvements outlined at the
time the city took hold of the plant by
its new manager, City Auditor Thomp-
son and the electrician, j. w. Henry,
are being rapidly put into effect. The
lines have been extended across the
track into South Langdon and west out
on the hill to the Dorval addition. in
both of which localities the property
owners have long been asking for street
lights and lighting service for their
homes. The new machinery installed
at the plant this summer has rendered
this extension of service possible and
the work that is being accomplished by
the city in improving its electric light
ing plant is something which the public
is fully able to appreciate.
