At the meeting of the executive

fnr suitable site for power house
and, as soon as the company is incor-
porated, bids W II be asked for and

The organization of this company is
an optgiowth of the dissatisfaction
expressed by local merchants regard
ing their electric light bills They be-
lieyed the amount excessive and after
some investigation, decided to furnish
their own light including heat and
power. Almost every merchant in
city owns at least share or two and
one of the rules Of the company makes
it necessary for a merchant who wal is
to sell his int. rest, to firsG notify the
officers Of the company so that
arrangements can be made that shares
will not be pu.chased by any outside
corpora ions. rJ
