To Double Their Power.

At meeting OF the stockholders
of the Home Electric company last
Monday evening it was unanimously
voted to put in three new Olds gas
engines, and another gas producer,
thus more than doubling the capac-
ity Of the plant.
For the past. few weeks the plant
has been overloaded with business,
so much so, that when IT. was neces-
sary to shut down one Of the two ell
gines 1t left too much Of a load on
the other. This will be overcome by
putting in: the three new engines,
and not alone doubling the capacity,
but always leaving one engine IN
reserve in case Of accident.
