The Electric Company Secure the Hy-
giene Ice Company Property,
A deal was consummated last Tues
day by which the Public Service Cor
poration came into possession of the
Shelley Hygiene Ice Company property
on Cole avenue, thereby enlarging the
Elecuric Company's lot adjoining by
an addition Of 50 feet by l23 feet. We
are informed that the old building will
be removed and new building erected
inwhich will be installed an up-to-date
electric plant, the estimated expense OF
which will be aDout$l50,00O The Elec-
trio Company has been looking for adj
ditional ground for year or so, but
between the prices asked by property
owners and the refusal of the Railroad
Company to give switching facilities
have been unable to locate satisfactor-
lily. 1t has paid to wait, however, as
the business can be enlarged without
the interference that would come from
putting mp an entirely new plant. AS
soon as material can be secured the
wires will be connected up with the
cables in the conduits and the poles
will come down.
