German Mesa Has Electric Lights.


One OF the greatest improve
ments that has taken place of late
is the lighting of German Mesa
with electricity. Some time last
winter it was proposed by scme
of the ranchers living on the edge
of the town site that they build
short line and connect with the
City plant and have their homes
lighted with electricity, then
some of those little farther back
heard of the plan and asked to be
permitted to go in with them and
it was thought best to circulate
petition and see how many wished
to have electric light in their
homes, result was 81 ranchers
signed the petition. A meeting
was then called and it was de-
cided to levy an assessment of
one dollar on each member or
signer for expense OF incorporat-
ing. Then the necessary steps were
taken to ascertain the cost of run
ming line distance of one mile
from the city limits this was done
and it was found that it would cost
each member about $1,000 more
and another assessment for that
amount was levied to build what
is known as the main line which
is now completed, paid for and
owned by the company known
as the German Mesa Electric H.
Eliminating Co.
The branch lines will have to be
built by individuals, and when
they are all completed will reach
almost the entire mesa running
southeast to Mr. Hollingsworth's
a distance of about three miles.
south to the Simmons Bros. ranch
and west to Mr.. Ballard's. The
manner in which these branch
lines are built is three, four or five
or as many as can reach one line 60
in togather and build the line and
prorate the expense and in this
way the cost is not great on any
one of them as the company
furnishes all transformers that
have to be placed on the main line.
1t will only be, short time until
most of the branch lines are built.

lines and have their homes
lighted are, VIM. Wooton. w. K
