8. P. Maxim had good word to say
for the gas producing power plant, say
ing that he believed it was the coming
power, and had already been demon
strsted to be more economical method
Of using coal than by making steam.
After little further discussion the re-
port of the committee was accepted, and
the meeting passed to the consideration
of the next article In the warrant, which
was to see II the corporation would vote
to establish 8 lighting plant. A motion
was made to pass over the article, and q
number of voices voted for the motion,
but enough voted against it 80 that the
moderator gave it as his judgment that
the motion was lost.
The article thus being open for action,
but no one appearing to have anything
to suggest, there was slightly awkward
pause. Finally N. D. Bolster stated that
he thought the committee were unani-
mously Of the opinion that there was
water enough at Biscoe Falls to take care
of all the lights we should want, but
that whether power could be furnished
for motors as wanted without running
short of water might be question. He
thought we might az we'll be paying
interest on bonds as to pay money for
street lights to an outside corporation,
but did not say that he was in favor of
establishing plant.
Mr.. Wright expressed himself as de-
cidedly opposed to mourning so large an
indebtedness as would be necessary, with
the conditions and prospects as they are.
After some more general discussion,
Franklin Maxim suggested that it would
be possible to light the village with kero-
Mr.. Wright finally moved, to get a
vote on the matter, that we do not es-
tablish an electric light plant at the
present time. The motion was carried
on show of hands, there being good
in favor and very few opposed to
the motion.
Under the article relating to the cor
poration bylaws, some additions to the
bylaws, which had been pre-
pared by Mr.. Wright on request, were |
presented and adopted. Some opposition |
was manifested, but there was no
lengthy discussion. The bylaws adopt
ed are as follows:
