If we ever get the power over the
new line from Rockville for the
electric lights and the continuous ser
vice that was promised months ago,
it will be very welcome. The local
power is so late in being started many
nights that it is necessary to use kero-
sene lamps. This, with the frequency
of the lights going out altogether,
makes the service very unsatisfactory.
