The owosso Light & Power Co.
Organized

The parties interested in the organi-
zation of the Owosso Light IL Power Co.
perfected an organization Tuesday by
the election of the following officers:
President, E. nj. Hopkins; vice presi-
treasurer, Frank Westcott; directors, @
w. Gale, w. A. Woodland, j. M. Ter
bush, DIR. S. S. g. Phippen, j. w.
Thorn, J. A. Barrie, Frank Westcott, e
Nj. Hopkins of Owosso, and nj. ID. Sly
of Romeo.
The plan of the company is to build a
dam in the Shiawassee river north of
the city near the farm of j. w. Thorn
and to furnish power and light. The
dam will be of solid concrete and it is
expected that about two Thousand horse
power will be developed. Plans for the
dam are being made by w. ID. Fargo OF
Jackson an expert, who has had much
experience in work of this kind. Prop
erty rights have been acquired so that
it is not expected the company will
have any trouble in carrying out its
plans. The statement is made that
while large body of water will be
created that it will not back up in such
way as to cause any trouble in the
city, either in the spring when there is
a freshet or during the summer months
| when the water is low and danger
might arise from the fact that the city
sewage empties into the river. On the
other hand fine place for boating will
be provided and with proper fish lad
| ders in the dam the fisherman are
counting on better sport in their line.
Success to the enterprise!
