new LIGHT AND
POWER COMPANY
TO START HERE?
Rumor Denied by Those
Who Are Reported to
be Interested.

Rumor has it that the Rock Island
city council will shortly be asked to
grant franchise to new light and
power company which will enter the
field with experienced men at the
head and with capital enough to carry
the project through. A big electric
power plant and possibly gas plant
are understood to be planned with the
object of competing with the Tri-City
Power and Light company in Rock
Island and Moline, and perhaps in
Davenport as well. Those who are
supposed to be Interested deny they
have anything afoot.
